Chapter 567: Two Five Poisons?
When Brandon mentioned Rachel, he made no effort to hide the disdain in his eyes. Tina was slightly taken aback, "Wasn't she only six years old at the time? How could my mother's disappearance be related to her?" Jack leaned against the sofa, his eyebrows furrowed, "Don't be fooled by her being only six; she was very smart. At such a young age, she knew how to compete with Alina for affection in front of your grandfather. I saw her looking at Alina with hatred many times. On the day Alina disappeared, there was no one else at home, just Alina and Rachel. When we came back, she was asleep in the garden, holding Alina's shoes in her hand."
"She claimed that Alina had given them to her to wear, but Alina was already ten years old; how could Rachel possibly fit into her shoes? I've always felt she must have seen the person who took Alina, but she denies it. And why would they kidnap Alina and not Rachel? They are all from the Brookes family; it wouldn't make sense to just take Alina."
Brandon's fist clenched tighter as he spoke, "Then there's Angela, also a child adopted by our family, about your mother's age. Everything was fine at first, but unexpectedly, she suddenly found out she was a child of the Five Poisons. I didn't even know before she did."
"Rachel and Angela were always close. I've always suspected it was Rachel who told Angela, but Angela denied it and insisted on running away from home. She left just like that, without even agreeing to date me."
Angela is a child of the Five Poisons? "Uncle Brandon, I've met the Five Poisons, and it's a woman, younger than you by a few years. How could she be Aunt Angela's mother?" Tina asked, puzzled. Brandon shook his head, "Tina, the Five Poisons I'm talking about is a man, and if he's still alive, he'd be older than your grandfather. The person you're talking about must be someone else."
"Could it be that the title of Five Poisons can be passed down? The Five Poisons I've encountered now and the one who kidnapped my mother aren't the same person?"
"It's possible. RST itself has already split into two organizations, one CK and one GTO. We always thought Five Poisons would stay within CK since CK has been quiet for years, but now it seems he can't leave those disgusting virus studies behind."
A flash of surprise crossed Tina's eyes, no wonder Joshua could collaborate with GTO; they were originally one and the same. I've underestimated Joshua. "Where did the original Five Poisons go? Does Joshua know?" Joshua, being the boss of CK and able to collaborate with the current Five Poisons, must surely know where the original Five Poisons went.
Brandon shook his head again, "Joshua only said that Five Poisons was his master, he didn't say anything else. He's very stubborn, like a lunatic. No wonder he calls Five Poisons master; they are all lunatics." After saying this, Brandon quickly corrected himself, "I'm not saying Jared is a lunatic, but those associated with Five Poisons, except for Angela, of course."
Tina's mood that night was like a rollercoaster. After a pause, she asked, "Uncle Brandon, could you arrange for me to meet Joshua?" Since Joshua was the disciple of Five Poisons, he might also know the truth about Natalie's abduction. If she could get a few words of truth from him, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble investigating Rachel.
"I can arrange for you to meet him, but be careful; I always feel that Joshua is psychologically disturbed, unlike other members of the Farrell family. The others are just foolish or greedy, but he is different."
"Sure, I'll be careful, Uncle Brandon, and you should be too. If Rachel really is involved, then she must have someone backing her, and this person is definitely not simple," Tina said, her intuition telling her that Rachel's involvement might be connected to the GTO. If Rachel was involved, then the bomb on the Hancock family's cruise ship might also be linked to her!
Brandon sighed deeply, "Tina, there's something I need to ask of you, and you must help me!"
"Tell me what it is. If I can help, I will; if not, let Jared handle it. Don't be like this," Tina said, almost feeling as if Brandon was about to bow down to her.
Brandon, with a serious and heartfelt tone, looked at Tina, "Tina, could you please help me find Angela? I can't find any trace of her, she's not contacting me, and I'm out of options."
Tina almost choked.
Ah.
Love really does make a man foolish.
Just like her Uncle.
Jared: No, I'm not lovesick.
Hayden: If you're not lovesick, I'll eat my hat!
"Alright, I'll help. Just give me Angela's information, and I'll see what I can do."
"It's not about seeing what you can do; you have to find her. Angela is out there, possibly not getting enough to eat or wear, and I'm really worried," Brandon said, his voice heavy with concern, feeling increasingly uneasy. Tina shook her head, somewhat reluctantly intrigued by this Angela.
What kind of woman could make a playboy like Brandon so concerned?
But finding Angela might not be so straightforward.
She had grown up in the Brookes family, likely learned many skills, and was top-notch in anti-tracking abilities.
Brandon might have to wait a while.
At the Brookes family villa, Rachel quietly left during the night, driving away.
Following the navigation, she parked her car at a villa in the suburbs.
She looked around, turned off all the car lights, turned on her flashlight, and knocked on a door.

"I'm Rachel, open up," she announced impatiently.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The door opened promptly, revealing a brightly lit interior.
"Why did you have to call me over so late? If someone finds out, do you want my life?" Rachel complained as she entered.
Inside, a woman sat with her back to Rachel, a bottle of decanted red wine on the table.
Hearing Rachel's words, she laughed, "If I wanted your life, would I have waited till now, Miss Brookes? Why so angry?"
Rachel closed her mouth and sat down on the sofa, her attitude noticeably softer, "What did you want to see me for?"
The woman turned around, and it was Grace!
"Of course, it's something important." Grace walked over, set down her glass of red wine, took out a paternity test report from a drawer, and placed it in front of Rachel, "Take a look for yourself." Tina's genes had been altered, and indeed, anyone who checked would find that, apart from Jasper, there was no biological relation to anyone else.
But for her, this was not a difficult issue.
