“Yandell Family’s head, Chester Yandell?”

When Connor heard Birdie’s words, a strange look flashed across his eyes, because he felt that this name was somewhat familiar.

“What’s the relationship between Chester Yandell and Ruby Yandell?”

Connor suddenly remembered that the rich and beautiful woman he met in Medicine Kings’ Valley seemed to be a member of the Yandell Family in Salem. That was why Connor felt that this Chester Yandell was somewhat familiar, so he hurriedly asked Birdie.

“You know Ruby Yandell? What’s your relationship with her?”

Birdie looked at Connor’s shocked expression and asked him in confusion.

“I’ve only met Ruby a few times, but she owes me money!”

Connor said slowly.

“I see, Chester is Ruby’s father!”

Birdie only revealed the relationship between Chester and Ruby seeing that they Connor and Ruby didn’t really know each other.

“Then, why do you want to kill Chester Yandell?”

Connor looked at Birdie and asked.

“…”

Birdie hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, “This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. You only need to tell me if it’s possible!”

“I can’t help you kill someone for no reason. I have to know your reason before I can consider whether I should agree to it or not!”

Connor said flatly.

Birdie took a deep breath and said slowly, “Actually, I’m not the person in charge of Rockefeller in Porthampton. The one who is truly qualified to sit in my current position is my brother…”

“You have a brother?”

Connor’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

“Yeah, I have a brother. My brother was supposed to replace me and become the person in charge of Rockefeller in Porthampton. However, five years ago, my brother offended Chester’s son when he went to Salem on holiday. He is Ruby’s brother, Zeno Yandell. My brother taught Zeno a lesson. Zeno couldn’t swallow this anger and found a killer to kill my brother in the hotel room!”

When Birdie was talking about this matter, there was no expression on her face at all. It was as if she was talking about a very ordinary matter.

However, Connor was extremely shocked. He didn’t expect Birdie to have such a story.

“After Zeno killed my brother, Chester learned of this matter and used his connections to find a scapegoat to take the blame. So, Zeno is still at large now, while my brother was killed without any justice for his death. It has been five years!”

Birdie looked at Connor and continued.

“The Yandell Family is just a wealthy family. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to deal with them, right?”

Connor wasn’t sure whether Birdie was telling the truth.

“Just a wealthy family?”

When Birdie heard Connor’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. Then, she said indifferently, “Looks like you really don’t know the true identity of the Yandell Family!”

“Does the Yandell Family have any other identities?”

Connor was stunned for a moment and asked in a puzzled tone.

“Although the Yandell Family is just an ordinary big family on the surface, Chester is actually the person in charge of Rockefeller in Salem, and our Schroder Family is only the person in charge of a small Porthampton. How can our family deal with the Yandell Family?”

Birdie looked at Connor and said helplessly.

When Connor heard Birdie’s words, he was even more surprised.

Because Connor didn’t think that the Yandell Family was actually Rockefeller’s people!

Back then, Connor naively thought that the Yandell Family was just an ordinary family that ran their own business. He even had the intention of taking over the Yandell Family shares from Ruby.

But now that Connor thought about it, he realized that he was too naive. A mere Yandell Family was just a shell for Chester to hide his identity, and Chester’s real identity was indeed the person in charge of Rockefeller in Salem.

“After my father found out about my brother’s death, he was also very helpless because he couldn’t do anything at all. So, my father could only choose to swallow his anger. My father can swallow his anger, but I can’t!”

Birdie paused for a moment, then looked at Connor and continued, “So now, I have become the person in charge of Porthampton. My goal is to strengthen myself step by step. I want to surpass Chester, then make the Yandell Family lose everything, and finally avenge my brother!”

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by Rockefeller’s people?”

Connor asked doubtfully.

“So what if they do? The people of Rockefeller have always looked at benefits and not right or wrong. As long as it can bring benefits to the organization, no one would care even if I wanted to deal with the four kings of Rockefeller. For those who are able to stand firm in Rockefeller, none of them are innocent people. None of them got to where they are without stepping over others and killing people.”

Birdie said disdainfully.

“What a strange organization!”

Connor could not help but smile helplessly.

“But it has been a few years, and Chester most likely knows my real goal, so he has been using his connections to suppress me. He wants to make sure I can’t threaten him. My position in Rockefeller is becoming more and more peripheral. If I can’t get this subway project, the people above may consider removing my position as the person in charge. Once I lose this position, it will be even more difficult to deal with Chester!”

Birdie looked at Connor and continued to explain.

Connor finally understood why Birdie was so insistent on getting this subway project. It turned out that Birdie did not want to make money, nor did she want status and power. She just wanted to use Rockefeller to deal with Chester and avenge her brother.

“Now that my story is over, I joined Rockefeller to get my revenge. I have no attachment to Rockefeller, so as long as you promise to help me take revenge, I can work with you!”

Birdie continued after seeing that Connor was quiet.

“How do I know if what you said is true or false?”

Connor hesitated for a moment before asking Birdie.

“Back then, Zeno killing my brother caused a stir in the city. Your connections are so wide, as long as you casually inquire, you can investigate whether this matter I said is true or not!”

Birdie answered seriously.

Connor looked at Birdie, and he felt conflicted. He seemed to not know if he should agree to Birdie’s request or not.
