"Byron, how do you think our Homan family rose to power?" Princess Dinah roared in a low voice. "Although she doesn't know it now, as long as she exists, she's a ticking time bomb. Once her identity is exposed, many things about our family will be exposed. At that time, do you think you can still be your dashing duke?"
Byron remained silent.
The Homan family is his mother's family. His mother first married into the royal family, but divorced the crown prince after giving birth to a daughter. Later, she moved between several wealthy families until she was thirty-eight years old when she married her father and gave birth to him.
The reason his mother was so carefree was because the Homan family was wealthy. Such a large amount of money is needed by any political party or group. Therefore, the first in line to inherit the Homan family, his mother, was very popular.
Of course, her mother and father didn't last long either, and they divorced after she was born. Now she's almost seventy years old and has found a boyfriend in his forties.
The rise of the Homan family was shrouded in mystery. He had asked his mother about it, but she refused to tell him.
“She shouldn’t have been born in the first place, but why did she survive?” Dina sighed. “There must be someone protecting her. This means someone knows about this, and when the time comes, the Homan family will have to give back all their money…”
"So, the Homan family rose to power by taking over the business of the tycoon?" Byron seemed to have grasped the key point.
Diana paused for a moment, neither speaking nor saying anything, which clearly indicated her agreement.
"So, the Homan family seized that woman's family's property, and now you want to kill her?" Byron's eyes widened. "Heh, this feels... Your Highness, are we robbers?"
Diana sighed: "That tyrant's money back then didn't come from legitimate sources either, so..."
"Eliminating the enemy?"
"Don't ask anymore."
“No, you have to tell me,” Byron insisted. “Otherwise, I will definitely go and have a talk with that woman.”
“Okay.” Diana nodded. “But I don’t know much either. It’s said that our maternal grandfather went to China back then, where he met Luo Tianba, and the two of them started doing business together…”
"The two of them were in the business of illicit goods. The Golden Triangle is a goldmine. As long as you have the ability and the guts, making a fortune is a piece of cake. Of course, losing your life is also a piece of cake..."
"However, my maternal grandfather was very clever and never showed his face, so many people only knew Boss Ba and not Mr. Homan. Later, for some reason, the two fell out. I heard that the two groups fought for two days. Later, Boss Ba died, and his men were either killed or scattered. But Boss Ba's daughter disappeared, and my maternal grandfather returned to China and founded the Homan Group, which has developed to its current state..."
Byron nodded: "I see." Although many things were not very clear, he could guess what was going on.
"Later, when my grandfather was talking to his men, he mentioned that they absolutely had to find Miss Luo, just to prevent future troubles..." Diana swallowed. "They actually found her, and staged a car accident that killed Miss Luo. But her daughter was rescued..."
