Chapter 1425 - Chapter 1425 Chapter 776 Betrayal_2

Chapter 1425: Chapter 776: Betrayal_2 Chapter 1425: Chapter 776: Betrayal_2 Upon hearing this, Oliver Wright’s heart stirred slightly. He knew that Old Master Wright wouldn’t easily vouch for someone, so since he had said such, Logan must be innocent. The hostility in his heart could not help but diminish, and his gaze towards Logan softened considerably: “Old Ancestor, I do not doubt Young Master Logan, but this matter is too peculiar; we must be cautious. After all, the Wright Family’s reputation cannot bear any stain.”

Old Master Wright nodded, expressing understanding: “I understand your concerns, Oliver. You are the future of the Wright Family; your caution is appropriate. But instead of asking me these things, you’d be better off conducting another investigation. There must be some clues that you have overlooked, or some deeper truth hidden. Go and probe thoroughly again; take my men with you too. They are experienced and might discover something you have missed.”

Upon hearing this, Oliver felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Old Master Wright’s men were all meticulously chosen elites; with their involvement, there would certainly be gains. He quickly nodded in agreement: “Old Ancestor, I understand. I will take your men with me and conduct a thorough investigation. We must uncover the full truth, vindicate Young Master Logan, and ensure the Wright Family’s reputation remains untarnished.”

With these words, Oliver turned to look at Logan, his eyes shining with a steadfast light: “Young Master Logan, rest assured. I will uncover the truth and seek justice for you. During this time, I hope you can remain calm and not be swayed by external influences. I believe that the truth will eventually come to light.”

Warmed by his words, Logan felt reassured. He knew that Oliver sincerely intended to uncover the truth and was grateful for Old Master Wright’s trust and support. He nodded, his tone filled with gratitude: “Oliver, Old Master Wright, thank you. During this critical moment, your standing by my side, offering support and trust, truly moves me. I have faith in your fairness and wisdom, and believe that the truth will indeed come to light.”

Thus, Oliver, together with Old Master Wright’s men, began a thorough investigation. They meticulously searched for every possible clue, not overlooking any details. Whether inner or outer aspects of the Wright Family, they conducted deep inspections.

After several days and nights of relentless effort, they finally made a breakthrough. A hidden clue gradually surfaced, leading them directly to the third brother. This revelation shocked both Oliver and Logan, leaving them incredulous.

“Third Brother, how could you do such a thing?” Oliver roared with anger and disappointment in his eyes. He could not believe his own brother would betray him, betray the Wright Family, and secretly cause destruction for personal gain. It was heartbreaking for him.

On hearing this, the third brother’s complexion turned pale and he trembled with fear, knowing there was no escape. He lowered his head and admitted his guilt: “Oliver, I… I was wrong. I was blinded by greed for personal gain, and I did such things. I have disgraced the Wright Family, and I let you down…”

——————–

Oliver looked at the third brother, his heart filled with rage and disappointment. He had not expected his brother to come to such a pass, and it pained him immensely. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions: “Third Brother, do you realize how much damage your actions have brought to the Wright Family? Do you know how many people you have disappointed with your conduct? You… you have let me down so much!”

The third brother’s face grew even paler as he trembled, fully aware that his crimes were exposed and he could no longer escape. Kneeling on the ground, he begged for mercy: “Oliver, I was wrong. Please, for the sake of our brotherly bond, spare my life.”

However, Oliver did not soften. He knew that such a traitor could not be indulged. He gave the third brother a cold glance, then turned to Logan and Old Master Wright: “Old Ancestor, Young Master Logan, what do you think should be done with this matter?”

—————————-

At first, the third brother stubbornly shook his head, his face defiant and his eyes flickering with unease and slyness. “I didn’t do it, don’t wrong me!” he shouted loudly, his voice quivering, yet still trying to feign innocence.

Oliver Wright looked at him coldly, his hands grasping the irrefutable evidence that had been retrieved from a secret room stashed away by the third brother. It clearly detailed his plans and procedures for sabotage in secret. “Third brother, still playing tough? Take a look at what this is!” Oliver Wright flung the evidence in front of the third brother, his voice full of disappointment and anger.

The third brother was startled, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the evidence as his complexion turned ghastly pale. He opened his mouth, but no words came out; he just stared dumbfounded at the evidence, as if he had been struck by lightning.

“What else do you have to say?” Oliver Wright pressed on step by step, fury flickering in his eyes, “Did you think your deeds were flawless and nobody would find out? Hmph, you were wrong! Every single move you made was under our surveillance!”

The third brother trembled all over, finally ceasing to quibble. He lowered his head, his hands gripping the corners of his clothing tightly, his voice low and trembling: “I… I confess. It was me. But Oliver, listen to my explanation, it was not intentional…”

“Not intentional?” Oliver Wright scoffed coldly, cutting him off, “You sabotaged our eldest brother’s weapon out of jealousy, causing it damage? If that’s not intentional, then what is? You tell me!”

The third brother fell silent for a moment, finally lifting his head, remorse and pain flashing in his eyes. “I… I was just too jealous of our elder brother.” He began slowly, his voice full of bitterness, “Elder brother has always been so outstanding, far surpassing me in both martial prowess and intelligence. I… I just wanted to prove myself, to show our father and all of you…”

“So, you chose this despicable method?” Oliver Wright could not contain his fury, slamming the table hard, “Have you ever thought about the immense harm your actions could cause our elder brother? About the great losses it could bring to the Wright family? You’ve been utterly foolish!”

The third brother’s body trembled, tears involuntarily welling up. “I know I was wrong.” He said with a choked voice, “I really understand my mistake. I’m willing to accept all consequences, just please give me a chance to make amends.”

Oliver Wright looked at him, a complex mix of emotions rising in his heart. He was both angry at the third brother’s betrayal and sympathetic to his plight. He knew that the third brother was also a pitiful figure, always overshadowed by the elder brother’s aura, never truly acknowledged or attended to.

“Third brother,” Oliver Wright began slowly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, “do you realize that your actions have violated the Wright family’s rules? According to our family rules, you should be subjected to severe punishment. However, I understand your hardship. Therefore, I’ve decided to give you a chance to redress your wrongs.”

At these words, a glimmer of hope flashed in the third brother’s eyes. “Really? Oliver, you’re willing to give me a chance?” He asked excitedly, as if clutching at the last straw.

—————-

“But,” Oliver Wright’s tone shifted, becoming stern, “you must prove your sincerity with your actions. You have to personally repair the elder brother’s weapon and apologize to him. In addition, you will have to accept the oversight and tests of the Wright family, until we are certain that you have truly mended your ways.”

The third brother nodded repeatedly, determination sparkling in his eyes. “I am willing, I am ready to face any test.” He stated solemnly, “I will prove my sincerity and resolve through my actions. Thank you, Oliver, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
