Chapter 262
“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 no effort to make them pay.‘
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.‘
