Chapter 63 - 62: Whitmore Family
The rich aroma of roasted beans and fresh pastries lingered in the air of a small café tucked into a quieter corner of the city.
Sunlight filtered through the window beside Rex, who sat near the window, one leg lazily crossed over the other, fingers drumming the table rhythmically.
Taking the documents from Victor, he casually opened, but just after scanning the first page, his fingers stilled. A flicker of surprise crossed his face, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
"Interesting."
Victor nodded knowingly, "In this file is the basic information you asked for." He said, pausing, before continuing, his voice a bit low, "Whitmore family background, assets, investments—official and... not-so-official."
"Due to time constraints, this is all we could find. If you give us just a bit more time, we’ll find much more than this," Victor added.
"No, this is enough for now," Rex spoke without looking . His eyes were already scanning through the content. He was already impressed by the sheer amount of information.
Page after page revealed photos of properties, Whitmore family members, corporate structures, investment breakdowns, and grainy images of older Whitmore family members at galas and charity balls. The report was concise, detailed, and brutal in their clarity.
Victor continued, "Fourth-generation old money. It all started with Robert Whitmore. The founder of the Whitmore family’s wealth.
He built his fortune brick by brick in the real estate boom after World War II. Since then, they’ve expanded into hotels, shopping centers, commercial towers—you name it.
Their empire spans everything from luxury high-rises to government development contracts.
