Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: The Relationship between the Powell Family and the Woods Family Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: The Relationship between the Powell Family and the Woods Family Xaviera stood at the door, not knowing the history of the families in Imperial City, nor the grudges or secrets they held. Yet if what Caleb discovered was true, that some people had gained their current glory and wealth through devious manipulations, it was indeed despicable.

Yigol Mamet was likely a child of a prestigious family in Imperial City who had fallen into obscurity. However, due to the complexities of the situation at the time, Caleb could not determine which family Yigol belonged to, so the trail went cold.

Taking a deep breath, Yigol asked, “Which families have ties with the Campbell family? We should be able to find my real parents by eliminating them one by one. If it turns out they’ve really done something like that, there’s no need for us to acknowledge each other anyway.”

Caleb looked up at him and said, “Don’t take Will Mamet’s words to heart. Until everything is investigated thoroughly, anything can happen.”

After their conversation, Caleb stood up decisively, “Let’s go see Granny.”

At nine o’clock that night, Caleb and Xaviera left the Mamet Old Mansion after dinner.

On the way, Xaviera curiously asked, “What clues did you find? Is Yigol truly the child of an Imperial City family?”

Caleb nodded, then looked at Xaviera with a complex expression in his eyes. Not only had he found information about Yigol, but he had also discovered some facts about the Turner family.

When the old master of the Turner family visited Libanan, he gave Xaviera a valuable hollow porcelain vase. The vase was a Turner family heirloom, specifically prepared for his long-lost great-granddaughter. The gift made it seem as if Xaviera was the lost heir of the Turner family.

However, the Turners should have already received news of the Powell family’s visit to Libanan, but they hadn’t made any moves. This led some to suspect that the old master of the Turner family had made a mistake, or perhaps he simply liked Xaviera and decided to give her the vase.

Caleb felt something was amiss, and after more careful investigations, he indeed found clues. Back then, the Turner family and the Cole family were both victims of a conspiracy. The whereabouts of the two consecutive Turner family heads remained unknown, with their centuries-old aristocratic family on the verge of collapse. Various major families in Imperial City were waiting to swallow them up, with the Powell family likely being one of them.

So, the Turner family did not show up when the Powells visited Libanan, probably out of concern for Xaviera’s safety. But all these speculations rely on the premise that Xaviera is indeed a Turner.

Currently, Caleb couldn’t confirm if Xaviera was a Turner, yet Jacob Powell had recognized her five years ago.

Caleb pulled Xaviera into his arms and gently patted her head, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”

Xaviera nodded, her mood seemingly calmer, when suddenly she heard his cool voice say, “Jayden Woods is returning to Libanan soon.”

Jayden Woods?

Although the name sounded somewhat unfamiliar, Xaviera wouldn’t forget: Zara Woods’ brother, the adopted son of the Woods family, and the man who had promised to give her shares in the Woods Group.

Caleb spoke nonchalantly, “As I’ve told you before, there is some connection between the Powell family and the Woods family. Jayden was originally a Powell; there used to be a Powell family in Libanan, too. The two old family heads of the Yittaland Powells and the Libanan Powells were half-brothers with the same father. After Jayden’s parents took over their respective families, the two sides maintained contact.”

“Jayden’s mother was one of the Woods family, and after his parents died, he was sent to live with the Woods. There was no longer any connection between the Yittaland Powell family and the one in Libanan. Later, no one knew what happened, but Jayden, who had a thriving career abroad, suddenly decided to return and start over in Libanan.”

Xaviera thought for a moment, “I remember Jacob Powell having a company here in Libanan.”

She used to be curious about why Jacob always came to Libanan and later found out that the Powell family had opened a cosmetics company in the city, which had been in business for many years.

There were two brothers in the Powell family back in the day. The family head of the Yittaland Powells inherited the title, while Jayden’s grandfather became a well-known businessman. Later, after Jayden’s grandfather and parents passed away sequentially, the Powell family’s business in Libanan fell into the hands of Zara Woods’ grandfather, eventually forming the Woods Group. In this group, Jayden merely played a nominal role–he didn’t have to show up when things went smoothly, but he had to step in and clean up the mess for the Woods family when there were issues.

Not only was Jayden a friend of Caleb, but even someone as arrogant as Zara Woods was exceedingly respectful towards her brother. It was unlikely that he was merely an powerless adopted son. Now that he chose to announce his return to the country just as Robert Powell and Jacob Powell visited Libanan, it seemed a bit too coincidental.

However, Xaviera believed that Jayden posed no threat to her and Caleb, especially after he had given her so many shares in the Woods Group, a clear expression of goodwill.
