Zara’s rebuke caused Fitz a headache.
Yet he couldn’t help questioning Zara within his heart, “Yes, grandpa really did want to kill our mother, but isn’t mom responsible
for her own actions as well?”
“As the daughter-in-law of the Banks Family, she kept thinking about that dead man named Bruce Wade, and even went to
publicly bid for the house that the dead Bruce Wade previously lived in.
Isn’t this disgraceful to the face of the Banks Family?”
“What’s more, we are all adults.
Is it important to hate or not? The Banks Family has trillions in assets.
Is it because of the cruel hand of grandfather to our mother that we should draw a line with him?”
“Drawing a line with him is equivalent to drawing a line with the Banks Family’s trillions in assets.
In the end wouldn’t we be the ones to lose out on that money? If we lose the right to inherit the Banks Family’s property, what
would we do in the future?”
“Don’t forget, our surname is Banks, not Thorne.
Do you still expect grandpa to give us some inheritance?”
However, Fitz could only complain in his heart, and not in front of his sister.
He knew very well in his heart that his sister fiercely held to the concept of right and wrong, so powerfully in fact that there was
almost no room for mediation.
If he spoke this directly to her, she would not listen, but instead would turn her face against him.
With those thoughts, Fitz agreed with Zara’s point of view, and nodded again and again, “Zara, you are right, this kind of thing is
really unforgivable.
Like you, I can’t forgive it either.”
Zara didn’t respond, she knew that with her brother’s words, something more would follow.
Fitz turned around and sighed, “But, let me tell you the truth, we will not get any benefit from turning our faces away from
Grandpa, nor can we bring him any substantive punishment.”
After a pause, Fitz spread his hands, “It’s impossible that he’d accept legal sanctions.
The old man has always been cautious in his work, with more than one scapegoat to take the blame for him.
Do you have solid evidence that he deliberately killed people?”
“As long as we don’t have solid evidence, he can say we’re deliberately slandering him.
Without evidence, he’ll push the crime off on someone else!”
“There are so many people that he can find.
As long as he says a word, I don’t know how many people would rush to take the blame for him.
Do you know how many scapegoats and ghosts Adrian Peters prepared for grandfather? I can’t begin to count them! This is the
old man’s protection!”
“If we don’t have the resources and connections of the Banks Family, we couldn’t bring down Grandpa, let alone even Adrian
Peters!”
Zara kept listening silently, and after Fitz finished speaking, she retorted, “When did I say that I am going to bring him down?”
Fitz also asked, “Then what are you trying to do?”
Zara said seriously, “I will accuse him.
Maybe he will evade sanctions, but you have to know that if I don’t accuse him, he’d have no need to evade! What I want is
justice! Justice in all forms! Not only the results of justice, but also the process and procedure of justice! I know that the resulting
justice is very difficult, but procedural justice is within my power, so I will start with a complaint against him today!”
