Chapter 99 Father and Daughter
"Dad!"
With a trembling cry, all her strength crumbled away.
Stella's eyes flickered with tears, and she rushed into Gordon's arms.
At that moment, she was no longer the widowed daughter-in-law of the Davis family, the owner of the revolving restaurant, or Silverwood's most beautiful woman, caught between various forces.
She was just a daughter.
Just like when she was a child, she found someone to rely on.
Her father's embrace was the warmest, and his shoulders were the most solid.
She didn't want to think about anything.
Tears released all the grievances and pain accumulated over the years.
"Stella, I'm sorry for your suffering."
Gordon, with his head full of gray hair, also had tears in his eyes.
As she calmed down a little, Stella looked at her father with deep affection.
Her father had aged a lot.
As far as she remembered, her father was full of vitality eight years ago.
But now, his hair had turned gray, and his face was covered in wrinkles.
Even his hands had become rough.
"How did you get in, Stella? Isn't the Davis family still on guard against you?" Gordon asked.
Besides the one time he saw his daughter when he was first imprisoned eight years ago, they hadn't been able to see each other due to the obstruction from the Davis family.
Yet today, not only had she come, but even his handcuffs were removed. And the meeting place was the deputy warden's office. It was unbelievable.
Stella composed herself and said, "Yes. It's someone named Gabriel. He's been engaged in a fierce conflict with the Davis family. To win my support, he brought me here."
"Gabriel?" Gordon looked puzzled. "Who is this person? I've never heard of him. Can he really contend against the Davis family?"
Although he asked this, he understood it in his heart.
After all, he had been cut off from the world for eight years.
It wasn't surprising that new forces had emerged during this time.
Stella replied, "I don't know which force Gabriel belongs to. He's just a young man in his mid- twenties, but recently, he has fought with the Davis family many times, and each time, the Davis family suffered heavy losses.
"By the way, he has a close relationship with the president of Apex Bank, and even Mr. Brooks shows him respect."
Stella's words greatly surprised Gordon.
To be able to command respect from Mr. Brooks before the age of thirty was simply unbelievable.
He murmured to himself, "Apex Bank? Could it be that he is from Ghostly Purgatory Hall?"
Stella didn't know much about these underground powers.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but one thing is certain. Gabriel is a formidable fighter, and he's ruthless. Both James and Samuel were beaten up by him."
"A formidable fighter?" Gordon silently nodded. "Then it's very likely that he comes from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall, and his status is not low if Mr. Brooks dreads him."
Organizations like the Ghostly Purgatory Hall did indeed have many terrifying fighters.
Stella wore a worried expression and said, "Dad, I asked Gabriel to bring me to see you, not only because I've missed you so much after all these years. There is another reason."
"What is it? The file folder I left for you?" Gordon lifted his head as he pondered.
And quickly, he guessed his daughter's thoughts.
Stella nodded and said, "Gabriel and the Davis family are now mortal enemies. This is an opportunity for revenge! The file folder contains evidence of how the Davis family framed our family and other unknown crimes. The supervision team will come to Silverwood this weekend, and I want to give out the file folder."
Gordon instantly understood his daughter's intentions and looked deep into her eyes. "You want to hand over the file folder to Gabriel and use the supervision team to bring down the Davis family?"
That file folder was something he had risked his life to keep.
Back then, the situation was complex, and the Davis family had control over the entire Silverwood.
Even the high-ranking officials secretly supported the Davis family.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
He had no chance to reveal it, and even if he did, he might not be able to overthrow the Davis family. Instead, it would destroy the last hope of the Davis family.
So, he entrusted the file folder to his daughter and asked her to wait for the right opportunity.
It seemed that his daughter thought the time had come.
But Stella shook her head and said, "I originally thought so, but I found that Gabriel is radical and not completely reliable. I can't grasp his thoughts.
"So, after thinking about it, I plan to continue dealing with the Davis family and Gabriel, find a reliable person, and hand the file folder to the supervision team.
"The only ones I fully trust are Ryan and Erica.
"Ryan has been a jerk for years and even joined Samuel's Dragon-slaying Association. He is unreliable.
"My only hope now is Erica.
"However, my sister has disappeared, and I cannot find her. I am now doing my best to find her. Once I do, I will give her the file folder.
"I heard that the supervision team is directly under the leadership of the Central Assembly and has no affiliation with Silverwood's major forces. Once they get the file folder, they will make the Davis family's evil deeds public.
"At that time, the Davis family will be finished, and the injustice done to our family will have a chance to be cleared."
This was Stella's idea.
The idea of avenging the Turner family has never been interrupted.
However, over the years, she had seen too much treacherousness, and she didn't trust anyone.
Gabriel was too radical, and she didn't trust him.
She only trusted her family.
And among her family, she only trusted her sister.
Her current goal is to find her sister and sacrifice herself to distract the Davis family and Gabriel.
When the supervision team arrived, she would let her sister file a complaint.
Success or failure would depend on this move.
After thinking for a long time, Gordon approved his daughter's idea and nodded. "Do it according to your plan. I will support you. You're the only hope for our family.
"Back then, the Davis family was ungrateful and destroyed our family. Such a blood feud must be avenged!
"But I have a request. I know Ryan has been spoiled since childhood, but he is the only boy in your generation.
"No matter how much of a jerk Ryan is, he is still the only heir to our family.
"No matter what, please don't let our bloodline be cut off. If that happens, I won't be able to face my ancestors in the netherworld."
Gordon got emotional when the Davis family was mentioned.
But when it came to the inheritance of the Turner family, he was full of enthusiasm.
Such deeply-rooted inheritance ideas were scary.
Stella closed her eyes in pain.
But in the end, she nodded.
Ryan was worse than a beast.
But this was her father's only request, spoken eight years ago and reiterated eight years later. It had become the heaviest burden in her heart.
At the end of the corridor outside, Gabriel and Chad were chatting animatedly. The smoke was exhaled outside the iron bars on the window.
"Mr. Carson, I've had such a great time talking to you. I don't even want to leave. If I ever get into trouble and end up locked in here, I'll depend on you to take care of me," Gabriel joked.
"Oh, Mr. Gabriel, you really crack me up!"
Chad was about to seize the opportunity to flatter him, but the office door swung open.
Stella and Gordon walked out one after another.
As soon as they stepped outside, two prison guards in the corridor approached them. They handcuffed Gordon and took him away.
Stella's eyes were swollen, and she left without a word.
"Goodbye, Mr. Carson!" Gabriel waved to Chad and hurried to catch up with Stella.
"Freddie, help me see Mr. Gabriel and Ms. Turner off."
Once Gabriel was out of sight, the smile vanished from Chad's chubby face.
He hurriedly returned to his office and took out a bug from a pen holder on his desk.
He listened to the recording until a glimmer of joy appeared on his face. Then he took out his phone.
"Hello? Mr. Davis, I've recorded something valuable. I'll bring it to you right away!"
