Chapter 1395

Revelations: The Summerton Family Legacy

“Indeed, a strong dragon cannot repress a snake. If we acquired the Hadley factory, it would be ours.

We could handle Beatrix Quillen however we wanted, but at present, we were on their territory, which

put us in a bad spot!” The henchman with the sharp chin persuaded Aidan once more.

“Hmph, Beatrix Quillen! Just you wait, I will not let you off the hook!” Despite his arrogance, Aidan was

no fool. After some persuasion from his henchmen, he threw a threatening remark at Beatrix before

turning and walking away.

Beatrix continued to mock and never held back when it came to her enemies. “Hehe, does he think

he’s the Big Bad Wolf? As the classic line goes: ‘I’ll be back!’ But alas, the Big Bad Wolf is much more

charming than him!”

“Yeah, the Big Bad Wolf is definitely more charming than him!”

“Antagonists always seemed to enjoy rage. Unlike me, a protagonist, who tended to remain composed

and low-key!” Frederick and Shane quickly chimed into the conversation.

After the enemy fled, Frederick and Shane only remembered they were romantic rivals and began

competing for Beatrix Quillen’s attention.

Roselynn had no time to pay attention to these two younger folks Today, she had just rushed over to

help the Quillen family, she and Julian got along quite naturally, but now that everything was finished,

she suddenly found herself at a loss on how to interact with him.

“Roselynn, it’s almost dinner time. How about I treat you to a meal?” Julian was about to speak up, but

recalling that Roselynn disliked accepting favors, he swiftly improvised, “Today, I successfully closed

my first significant business deal by selling the factory-a big moment in my career. It would be my

pleasure to host a celebratory meal for everyone!” The reason seemed forced and far-fetched!

However, Lexi was the first to raise her hand in agreement, saying, “Great! Thank you, Julian!” She

then gave Beatrix a look.

Beatrix caught on to Lexi’s expression and immediately understood. “I’ll join too!” she said, following

along.

Upon hearing about Julian’s dinner invitation, Shane and Frederick, two natural food enthusiasts,

eagerly accepted. Thus, the

six of them set off in three cars.

When they arrived at the Summerton family hotel, the other four people all found excuses to slip away.

Some claimed they had unfinished work, while others said they left the power on at home In the end,

only Julian and Roselynn made it to the restaurant for dinner.

Though Roselynn felt a bit awkward, she still entered the private dining room with Julian.

“Let’s split the bill for this meal, as usual,” Julian said with a smile, his dimple giving him an innocent

look.

“Why did you do this today?” Roselynn asked directly, as she disliked beating around the bush-it was

not her style.

“Huh? What?” Julian Summerton feigned confusion, pretending not to understand.

“I remember that Emmanuel said the youths in the Summerton family were reluctant to take over the

family business or inherit the multi-billion-dollar empire. What made you change your mind today?”

Roselynn asked plainly.

“Well…” Julian hesitated.

“If you don’t feel like sharing, that’s fine,” Roselynn said, deciding not to press further, even though she

was as curious as Emmanuel.

“No, I’ll tell you!” Julian insisted. He did not want to hide anything from Roselynn, nor did he feel the

need to add any cheesy lines like, “I won’t tell anyone else, but I’ll tell you!” He did not want to pressure

Roselynn in their relationship; he simply wanted their relationship to develop naturally.

“The Summerton family is actually a powerful financial conglomerate with a rich background.

Otherwise, I would not have been able to become the vice president of the Nuthana Chamber of

Commerce!” Julian wasted no time in getting to the point.

Commerce!” Julian wasted no time in getting to the point.

Roselynn became even more curious, which made Julian want to keep talking even more.

“The Summerton family used to be one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Zovince, with

influence across the country. However, they later made a deliberate decision to withdraw, leaving only

Onza as the public face of the Summerton family, serving as their representatives,” Julian continued.

“Deliberate withdrawal?” Roselynn asked, quite surprised. “Doesn’t that sound like the hidden families

in novels?”

I used to think it was nonsense, but I did not expect it to be true, Roselynn thought to herself, her

disbelief-evident as she struggled to come to terms with the reality of the situation.

“You could see it like that,” Julian explained frankly. “But it wasn’t quite like that. The Summerton family

and those hidden groups were very different in terms of wealth and status. They worked behind the

scenes, supporting arms organizations to gain power and wealth with big ambitions. We, however,

were just their middlemen, helping cover up different things and basically being pawns in their game.”
