Chapter 406
F.. 55 vouchen,
“Yannis, since you know my master’s identity, do you know why the Moore family moved abroad twenty years ago, and what happened with the explosion three years later?” asked Zinnia.
Zinnia rested her cheek on her arm, gazing at Yannis beside her.
She thought, ‘Since Yannis has photos of Master’s family, he must know way more than Brian.
Yannis replied, “Twenty years ago, Mrs. Moore fell seriously ill, and doctors in our country couldn’t save her. At that time, medical technology abroad was far more advanced, so Mr. Richard Moore immediately moved his wife and child overseas.”
Yannis did know a bit about this. Back then, when Hannah, Richard’s wife, was ill, Richard even consulted with Henry about possible treatments.
Two decades ago, medical technology was indeed more advanced. Hannah’s sudden illness threw Richard and Nathan into complete panic. However, to Richard, nothing was more important than his wife’s life. In the end, he decided to move the whole family abroad.
“What about the explosion?” Zinnia pressed. “I heard it was really brutal. Why did it happen so suddenly?”
Zinnia was more concerned about this. She wanted to know who wanted to hurt her master’s family.
Yannis said, “The explosion was likely the result of an internal power struggle within the Moore family. It happened so suddenly. By the time we got the news, the two family leaders had encountered an accident.
“In the end, the Lynn family sent people to retrieve Richard and Hannah’s bodies and arrange the funeral. The Lynn family questioned the Moore family branch but got no answers. But we’re certain the Moore family branch was involved somehow.”
Yannis didn’t really know much about what had happened to the Moore family.
The
year the Moore family had their incident, Yannis’s family was in turmoil too. He had been pretty out of it back then. He just caught snippets about the Moore family, but didn’t know what actually happened.
Yannis noticed Zinnia’s furrowed brows and the mix of curiosity and gloom in her eyes. He said gently, “If you want to know, I’ll have someone look into it for you.”
17 years ago, the explosion that struck the Moore family must have been connected to its branch. Otherwise, the Moore family branch would also have suffered.
If Nathan were still alive, he definitely wouldn’t have spared the Moore family branch.
Yannis thought of the MZ Group overseas. It was gradually encroaching on the Moore Group. Yannis felt the “M” of MZ Group might represent Moore, while the “Z” might represent Zinnia. Thus, Yannis guessed Nathan was exactly who he was looking for.
“Thanks, Yannis.” Zinnia didn’t refuse.
A cold glint flashed in Zinnia’s eyes. She thought, ‘If the Moore family branch was really behind this, I’ll spare

Time was fleeting. Friday afternoon came. Zinnia and her classmates headed home after their last class that morning.
As Yannis arrived at the classroom to attend the parent–teacher meeting, he bumped into Yvette, who was just coming in.
“What brings you here?” Yvette asked.
Yvette was dressed in a light yellow dress with pearl buttons. Her slender figure was draped in a white shawl. With her hair elegantly pinned up, she looked very graceful.
When she saw Yannis standing there all dressed up and even with his hair gelled, Yvette couldn’t help but wonder why he was there.
“For the parent–teacher meeting, of course,” Yannis replied.
Yannis wasn’t wearing a suit today. Instead, he had on a simple black inner shirt under a camel overcoat, paired with black casual pants. He looked effortlessly relaxed and youthful.
The guardians of the students at present perked up at Yannis’s entrance, eager to strike up a conversation with him.
As they walked into the classroom together, Yvette glanced at Yannis and asked, “Whose guardian are you?”
“Zinnia’s, of course,” Yannis replied.
Yvette said, “Well, she is my daughter. Why do you bother showing up here? Didn’t Zinnia tell you I’d be here for them? Aren’t you busy these days?”
She thought to herself, ‘Even for such a minor meeting, this guy still showed up.’
Yannis replied, “She did, but I figured it’s tough for you to multitask and keep up with what the teacher says about two students. I just thought I’d help share the load.”
“If I can’t handle it all at once, I can listen twice, you know,” said Yvette.
She watched Yannis being stubborn. She knew he was just worried about Zinnia.
“Now that I’m here, you can relax. Go take your seat. I’ve got this,” Yannis said.
Zinnia’s seat was at the front, and Yannis made his way over to sit there.
The guardians of other students noticed where he sat and saw the nameplate on the desk that read “Zinnia Moore’s Guardian“.
Zinnia’s name change had been finalized just days before. After what had happened at the Bacon family’s party, all the prominent families in the circle knew exactly who she was.

Yannis sat down and glanced to the side. He found the adjacent desk was spotless, and the seat remained
empty
Thus, Yannis looked lord it over.
In front of him sat Ethan’s sister–in–law, Jessica.
“Hi, Mr. Perkins, Jessica greeted him politely as she saw him take his seat.
“Hi Yannis nodded.
“Is Ms. Moore alright now?” asked Jessica.
Jessica was poised and elegant. She maintained a good relationship with Ethan and often helped him handle
matters.
When Ethan almost got into trouble last time, it was Zinnia’s timely reminder that saved him from disaster. Jessica and her husband were deeply grateful to Zinnia and sent her a thank–you gift that very day.
Amidst the Bacon family’s constant power struggles, Ethan was the only blood relative of his brother, so his brother and Jessica cared about Ethan deeply.
At the previous party, Jessica’s son received a wellness bracelet from Zinnia, which turned out to be very effective. Jessica and her husband grew even more fond of Zinnia.
They still felt terribly apologetic about what had happened to Zinnia at that party.
Yannis answered Jessica’s question. “Yes, she is fine.”
“Would you like our family to assist with the Shaw family matter?” Jessica inquired.
