Reyes looked grim as he got out of the car.

Toya didn’t care about his condition and went to class.

Instead of heading toward the school building, he walked to a quiet place and made a call.

The person on the other end of the phone did not make him wait and answered almost immediately.

“Master, are you looking for me?”

The familiar opening was careful ingratiating.

Reyes’s words were still concise and bossy. “Investigate the Madison family. Send the info to me in thirty minutes.”

The person on the other side did not ask why and immediately answered, “I promise to complete the task!”

Reyes knew of the Madison family.

Before last night, he had always thought that Toya was a member of the Madison family.

The family was in the arms business, and many people involved were dangerous and mysterious. Even though he had confirmed his feelings for Toya, he had never dared to act rashly because of her family name.

Once he provoked the young lady of this family without proper follow-up, the consequences that Sullivan had said were on the light side.

He might even lose his life in her hands.

However, as the daughter of a noble family, how could she be engaged to a man in his forties?

No matter how good this man was, it was an undeniable fact that he was old, married before, and had a twenty-year-old child with him.

No matter how handsome, rich, or charismatic Butler was, he should not be among the candidates for Miss Madison’s fiancé.

Not to mention getting engaged.

Because there were too many young people with the same conditions.

The Madison family had no reason to pick such a person for their young lady.

Even if Toya insisted on marrying him because she liked him.

Her family would probably stop her too, right?

Unless something was wrong in Madison’s family.

Also, Reyes subconsciously ignored the possibility that Toya might like his father, even though Toya had admitted it herself.

Twenty minutes passed. Reyes’ phone buzzed.

“Culver has sent you all the information he can find regarding the Madison family. Their family is in the arms business, and they have their own special means of concealing information. If we continue investigating, we might alert them.”

The man on the other end was in a dilemma.

Reyes flipped through the message in his hand. He didn’t reply. The other end had sensibly quieted down as well. Neither of them spoke, but the call was still on.

The information sent was indeed superficial.

The head of the Madison family was already in his sixties, and he hadn’t appeared in public for two months.

This person in charge was a playboy when he was young. After he got married, he had many mistresses and gave birth to several sons. Later, his wife suddenly passed away due to illness, and this person in charge changed his ways and dismissed his lovers, leaving seven to eight children by his side to raise.

There was no mention of how many babies were born.

Only five were still alive.

Four sons and one daughter.

The names of several people were not uncommon in the aristocratic circles. Reyes had even met them.

They were not young and were of the same generation as Butler.

Therefore, he had only seen them before and did not interact much with them.

When the head of the Madison family was in his forties, he married a new wife.

That lady’s background was relatively simple. She was a nun’s child.

In the information he found, there was also a photo of this madam, an old black-and-white photo.

She was wearing a white dress. It was different from the expensive and elegant white dress that Toya was wearing. The one on her was very simple.

In the background was a quiet church. She stood in front of it while smiling slightly like a little white flower blooming between the stones.

Reyes zoomed in on the photo.

He believed that this woman might be Toya’s mother.

Only a fair mother could give birth to a daughter who was as fair as snow, right?

He saved the photo in his phone and continued reading.

This new wife had only married into the Madison clan for a few years before she died.

She died when she was pregnant with her second child. At the same time, the eldest son of the leader of the Madison family died.

And her first child was a girl.

Her name was Toya.

Reyes sighed.

The members of the Wilson family were simple. He couldn’t imagine how Toya, who lived in the Madison family, had grown up.

She must have had a hard time, right?

The person on the other end of the phone heard his sigh and said cautiously, “Master, if you need more information about the Madison family, we can work harder.”

Reyes said, “Not for now.”

Reyes didn’t hang up after the call. “Clear the stuff in the fridge.”

He might not return to that house for the time being. He did not want to smell the sour stench of spoiled food when he returned one day.

“Okay.” The subordinate never dared to ask anything when the boss spoke. He just nodded his head vigorously.

Reyes hung up and read the Madison family’s message over and over again.

He was in his sixties and hadn’t shown up for two months.

This information bothered Reyes.

Toya’s backing was about to collapse..
