Chapter 1424: Chapter 776: Betrayal Chapter 1424: Chapter 776: Betrayal He slowly began to speak, his voice low and powerful, as if each sentence was infused with the sediment of years and endless wisdom: “Hmph, no progress at all, still waiting for this old man to come up with ideas for you. Oliver, when will you learn to make decisions on your own and take responsibility on your own? Look at you, already standing in this position, yet still always depending on others, how can this be acceptable?”
Upon hearing this, Oliver felt a chill in his heart. Standing in front of his ancestor, he felt an invisible pressure mounting on his shoulders like a heavy mountain. He knew that his ancestor was not only reprimanding him but also reminding him that as the future successor of the Wright Family, he must learn to be independent and responsible.
He lowered his head, silent for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart. Oliver remembered his past, those moments of dependence on others and lack of decisiveness, flashing through his mind like scenes from a movie. He was well aware that he indeed needed to change and to grow.
Finally, he raised his head, a determined look flashing in his eyes. He looked at his ancestor’s hopeful eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “Old Master Wright, I understand. I get what you mean, and I also understand the responsibilities on my shoulders. With this matter, I will investigate carefully, I won’t make any rash conclusions, nor will I wrongly blame anyone. I will prove with my actions that I have grown up, no longer the Oliver who always needs to depend on others.”
Old Master Wright heard this, a slight smile playing on the corners of his mouth, a glimmer of approval in his eyes. He patted Oliver on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, “Oliver, do you know? Growth is not an easy thing. It requires courage, persistence, and even more so, wisdom. You must learn to face difficulties, learn to take responsibility, learn to stand tall amidst adversity. I believe in you, you have the potential and the ability.”
Feeling the encouragement and support from Old Master Wright, a warmth surged in Oliver’s heart. He nodded firmly and said, “Old Master Wright, rest assured. I will work hard to lead the Wright Family to an even more glorious future. I will prove my determination and ability with my actions.”
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the study, ready to begin his investigation into the affair. His steps were firm and strong, as if every step tread on the path of growth. Old Master Wright stood in the same spot, watching Oliver’s receding figure, his eyes full of expectation and hope.
Oliver entered the study and began to carefully go through the relevant documents and materials. As he read, he pondered over the ins and outs of the matter. His brow would sometimes furrow and at other times relax, showing the struggle and thought in his heart. He knew this affair was not a simple one, but he also believed that if he put his heart into it, he would be able to find the truth.
As time ticked by, Oliver remained engrossed in his investigation. He forgot the passage of time and all external distractions. In his heart, there was only one belief – to find the truth and restore innocence to the Wright Family. During this process, he also gradually learned to think independently and to take responsibility.
Suddenly, a critical clue caught his eye. Following this lead, he continued to probe and gradually uncovered the truth of the affair. It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding, a deliberate framing of the Wright Family. A surge of anger and resentment welled up in Oliver’s heart, but he knew now was not the time for impulsive actions.
