Chapter 400

Samuel knew he couldn't do it alone—there was just no way he could go head-to-head with the Brooks family back then. Plus, he still needed to rely on the connections and resources Old Mr. Brooks had set up for him abroad to slowly build his own influence. But those resources were limited, and he wasn’t confident he could pull off his revenge plan solo. That’s when he came up with a totally wild idea. He started hooking up with women constantly, having kid after kid, trying to grow this whole branch of the family that carried his bloodline. And, well, he actually pulled it off. Out of that mess of sons, one finally made it—Matthew Drake. That kid took the Drake name to new heights and eventually secured solid footing in Country M. And once that was done, Samuel set his eyes on Matthew. The virus sample in Clara’s bag that just so happened to “fall out” and get picked up by Grace? Yeah, not a coincidence. Grace got infected, and Matthew, who adored his sister more than anything, lost it.
