Chapter 143 The Shanks Family Mobilizes

Finished

Downstairs, Janus’s face was stormy as he barked, “Wayne, weren’t you doing business with that bastard Xavier) Cut ties immediately! A man like that doesn’t deserve to be associated with the Shanks family. Tell him to get lost!”

Logan shot up from his seat and stormed toward the door.

“I’m gonna kill Xavier!”

Lyle grabbed his arm to stop him.

Logan whipped around, his eyes murderous. “You trying to stop me?”

Lyle shook his head. “No. I’m coming with you.”

Wayne stood up too. “Count me in.”

As the eldest, Wayne took the lead. “Everyone sit down for a sec.”

Logan scowled. “Don’t tell me you’re trying to stop us too.”

Wayne said, “Not at all. I’ve arranged a plane. We go together.”

Janus nodded approvingly. “Good. Let’s go right now. I’m bringing Lily home myself–and my little grandson too.”

Oriel was half–amused, half–resigned. But she understood.

Becky was the only girl in the Shanks family–their true little princess. Now that they’d finally found her, it was no surprise everyone was so fired up.

“I’ll stay home and look after Mom,” she said.

Wayne gave her a grateful look. “Thanks, honey.

She smiled. “It’s the least I can do,”

With that, the five men of the Shanks family boarded a private plane bound for Dracovia

Brendon rushed to Glory Corp as soon as he wrapped up a business deal.

“Xavier, thank God you’re back safe. I’ve been worried sick–couldn’t eat or sleep!”

Xavier glanced up and gave him a once–over. “You sure? You look fatter.”

Brendon laughed nervously. “Water retention.”

Xavier smirked faintly

Brendon leaned m, eyes wide. “Hey, I heard Becky took down one of Talonox’s top men. That true?”

“Who told you

that?”

“Your bodyguard.”

Xavier recalled the scene and gave a rare simile. “Yeali“

“Damn! That’s badass! How’d she do it?”

“She probably struck one of his pressure points”

uff. Man, remind me never to pist

“Oh right, I forgot she’s a traditional medicine practitioner. No wonder she knows all that stuff hier off. Our jab and I’m done for “

Xavier was quiet for a moment, then said. “Becky might be part of the Shanks Lamily

Brendon blurted. “Which Shanks family?”

“Star Holdings.”

Brendon froze. “No way. That’s insane. Isn’t she from the countryside or something?”

“Shanks family lost a daughter years ago. Becky might be Janus’s.”

Brendon took a moment to process that. The possibility was crazy.

He’d heard of the Shanks family’s long search for their missing daughter, but he never imagined Becky could be her.

“You sure?”

“Judging from Lyle’s reaction, pretty much.”

“Pretty much isn’t good enough. They better do a DNA test. Imagine the mess if they’re wrong.”

Brendon was still skeptical.

And a little terrified.

He used to look down on Becky, even sneered at her a few times. If she really was a Shanks…. he was screwed.

And Xavier?

Brendon’s heart tightened for his friend.

A marriage, a divorce, a kid–Xavier had done the whole messy cycle with Becky. If she was Janus’s daughter, the man might just skin him alive.

The Shanks family didn’t mess around.

Brendon involuntarily shrank in his seat.

Xavier, meanwhile, said calmly. “Honestly, I hope she is.”

Brendon gawked. “Are you insane?!”

Xavier smiled faintly. He understood the risks.

“I’m not afraid of taking responsibility for what I’ve done.”

“You’re hopeless!”

Xavier leaned back, voice softer. “Becky’s had a rough life. She’s never said it out loud, but I know she’s always craved family. That’s why she secretly had James. She wanted someone who belonged to her.”

“If she really is the Shanks” lost daughter, and they accept her… they’ll love her, spoil her. She’ll finally get the love she deserves. I want that for her.”“

Brendon stared at him. “You realize how ruthless those people are, right?”

“I know.”

“They’ll beat you to death.”

Brendon shook his head “You’re gone. Fully gone.”

Xavier had clearly fallen, hand

Brendon sighed “You should give up on Becky She’s already cold to you, and now she’s got the Shanks family behind her. You won’t stand a chance You’ll get crushed‘

The path ahead wasn’t just thorny–it was suicidal.

Xavier leaned back, pressing a hand to his temple.

“Even if I get crushed… I’m not giving up

Brendon was speechless.
