Chapter 64 Related To His Uncle
Gabrielle took a sip of her tea, her fingertips lightly tapping on the person in the photograph.

“Judging from these two photos, it seems like your mother was overly concerned about her maiden family–to the point of obsession. She likely used the Zechman family’s wealth to subsidize her own family’s expenses.”
Having said that, she chuckled softly, raising her head to meet the man’s profound dark eyes.
There are many things in life that can be discerned from a person’s face! Your mother was burdened by these two individuals. By the time she realized how difficult of a position she was in, your father had already met with misfortune,” the woman confidently asserted.
Jonathan, on the other hand, fell silent.
These were all private matters of his family, never to be disclosed to the public. Aside from a few of their closest confidants, even the relatives from the extended Zechman clan were kept in the dark.
After all, these matters were not exactly honorable and could potentially tarnish their reputation.
“So, my father’s death is connected to my uncle Frankie? The tension slightly increased at the tips of Jonathan’s fingers.
His large, generous hand was tightly gripping the edge of the dining table as if he intended to crush it to pieces.
“It’s fair to say that even your mother’s grave illness is related to them, Gabrielle responded before pointing at him. “And I can tell that your uncle’s family also has something to do with your poisoning.
“But it’s not a direct connection,” she continued. “There’s someone behind the scenes stirring the pot and using them to get close to you.
She was straightforward in her actions and speech, not one to beat around the bush. She would say whatever she saw.
“Do you know why I could cure your poison? It’s not because it was a typical toxin, but because someone had used metaphysics to let negative energy invade your body.”
The reason you fell ill that year was due to an invasion when you were weak, the woman explained. That’s why no one realized when you were poisoned. Everyone just thought you hadn’t recovered, which resulted in delayed treatment. This allowed the poison to seep into your bloodstream.”
Keiran was standing off to the side. Upon hearing Gabrielle’s words, he quickly adjusted his glasses, turning his gaze toward Jonathan
Jonathan sat there, an aura of chilliness emanating from him. His eyes slowly closed.
He was doing his best to keep his emotions in check, but the bulging veins in his arm betrayed the anger and resentment brewing within him.
“Someone manipulated my uncle and used my mother’s name to get close to my father and kill him. And now, they’re coming for me?” he remarked frostily
Gabrielle sat up straight, sipping her coffee in silence with her head bowed down, not uttering another word
“So, this guy’s after my family? With my father already gone, if something were to happen to me, my grandfather, being of advanced age, wouldn’t last much longer. In the end, all the wealth would fall into my mother’s hands.”
“My mother was quite the fanatic about supporting her younger brother, Jonathan commented mockingly.
What a cunning plan! They managed to swallow up the Zechman family with such ease.
In such a way, it was done subtly, unbeknownst to all, yet it was still carried out openly and legitimately, with everything in perfect order.
“Haven’t you had your suspicions for a while now? You just lacked the evidence. If you hadn’t been on your guard, you
ני!

At first glance, Jonathan appeared to be reserved and mature. However, his actions revealed a strategic mind, indicating that he was a master at controlling the overall situation. There was no way he would ever let anyone lead him around by the nose
Indeed, I had my doubts.” Jonathan admitted.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze toward Gabrielle had deepened. It was filled more than ever, with admiration.
He could never have anticipated that a girl barely twenty years old, would see through everything. Even more surprising was her ability to single out a suspect from a sea of information
“So, do you believe me?” The woman raised her eyebrows.
Normally, no one would believe in something so outrageous After all the was so young. Plus, if the were truly capable, why would the Seavers family ostracize her like th?
“Why wouldn’t I: Since you were able to suppress the potson within me. it’s clear you possess abilities others do not. Besides, having grown up in a monastery, it’s only natural that you understand metaphysics.”
As Jonathan was speaking, a knock resonated from outside.
Keiran strode forward, swung the door open, and watched as the waiter brought in the dishes.
The table was laden with an array of delicacies–lobster thermidor, braised short ribs, rotisserie chicken, boiled crabs, sea urchin pasta, and salad. In the middle of all these, a delicate cake was neatly placed.
“Happy birthday. Mrs. Zechman,” the waiter said, offering her a bow before he retreated.
Cabrielle was somewhat taken aback, turning to look at Jonathan.
“Grandpa watched your variety show and knew that your birthday was the day before yesterday, Jonathan explained “He wanted to celebrate today, but since he broke his leg, he specifically asked me to celebrate your binhday on his behalf
He picked up his fork, serving her some food as he added, “They say that missed birthdays can’t be made up for, so let’s just have a simple meal together.”
“Thank you,” Gabrielle expressed, somewhat taken aback.
After all, the two of them had hardly any connection, yet he still took the initiative to celebrate her birthday for her
Even when she returned to the Seavers family, no one remembered her birthday, let alone ever mentioning making up for it
“Let’s eat,” said Jonathan.
The topic that had been abruptly interrupted earlier wasn’t brought up again. Recognizing the cue, Gabrielle also refrained from saying more. The two of them ate their meal in silence. Keiran found an excuse to slip away, leaving the two to their own company
After they had finuhed their meal, Jonathan stood up, sliced a piece of cake, and presented it to her
“Recently, my uncle seems to have vanished into thin air, making it quite difficult to find him. Do you think you could possibly help?” he asked in a serious tone.
As Gabrielle was enjoying her cake, she noticed him thoughtfully refilling her coffee for her.
She took a light sip of her drink before replying. “There’s no need to rush to find him. As long as your condition is kept under control, he’ll definitely show up.”
Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a ring.
Gabrielle looked at her phone, noticing an incoming call from an unfamiliar number. She stared at the screen, her smile deepening at the corners of her mouth.
She raised an eyebrow, casting a glance at Jonathan.

“Gabrielle! Get out here now! The voice of Zachary echoed.

He was clearly seething, his breathing becoming ragged. In a frantic tone, he snapped, “Do you even realize that you’re about to get married? And here you are, gallivanting around! If the Zechmans find out about your disgraceful behavior, it’ll be the end for our family!”
No sooner had he finished speaking, than Chloe’s voice filtered in.
“Gabrielle, why do you have to do this? Even if you’re lonely, you shouldn’t mess around so openly like this. But all you need to do now is to come out and admit your mistake, and we’ll do what we can to cover this up
for you.
Gabrielle’s smile deepened as she heard the woman’s pretentious words.
“Oh! And what do I have to do for you to keep this secret of mine?” she murmured.
Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, Chloe immediately held her breath, putting on airs.
*Recently, the family business has been suppressed. There’s no doubt someone behind the scenes wants to bankrupt us. All you need to do is get the Zechmans to back us up and transfer their best project of the year to us. In return, we’ll keep this matter a secret for you” she answered in a low voice.
