NOVPUBChapter 1336: 623 Cause and Effect_1 Chapter 1336: 623 Cause and Effect_1 “Although we don’t have much information for now, one thing is certain: this organization is very mysterious and dangerous.
We still can’t determine whether it’s Virginia Frost’s ally or enemy.
I’m worried if you go alone.”
Agave Rinto firmly said, “I will go with you.”
“Due to the disappearance of cargo ships and Ricky Wood’s serious injury, some hidden instabilities in the group have gradually surfaced.
If you leave Pethkids at this time, who else can preside over the situation?”
Aubree Groove’s indifferent questioning left Agave Rinto stunned.
Aubree Groove was right.
He is now the stabilizing force of The Rintos.
If he leaves Pethkids, The Rintos will be in complete chaos.
...
But how could he just watch as Aubree Groove walks into a dangerous situation?
It seems he must go to the Chinese Martial Sect.

“Mom, there’s a big problem.
Quickly look at the news.” Kevin Groove rushed into the house.
Caryn Wood furrowed her brows and scolded, “Your sister is resting upstairs.
If you wake her up, I won’t spare you.”
“It would be better if she wakes up,” Kevin Groove mumbled.
Sanny Groove has been in a coma since the accident.
She has been checked several times, there are no physical problems, and the external wounds have healed.
Nevertheless, Sanny hasn’t woken up yet, which has left the doctors helpless.
Caryn had Sanny brought home and spent a lot of money on monitoring equipment.
Caryn glared at him.
Kevin Groove quickly showed her his phone and said, “There’s a big problem.
Bella White, she is actually Digby Hart’s biological daughter.”
Caryn was startled and scoffed, “How is that possible?”
But when her gaze fell on the phone screen, she couldn’t help but gasp.
She immediately grabbed the phone.
The internet was flooded with reports related to this.
The Artie Group’s public relations department is very powerful.
It could be said they controlled half of the media.
So how could they have allowed these rumors to circulate freely?
The only conclusion: this information was true.
These days, Caryn has turned down all the high society ladies’ invitation, staying at home to take care of Sanny and was not aware of the happenings at the Artie Group annual meeting a couple of days ago.
Digby Hart was the richest man in Jimenez, and his status was more than just a simple businessman.
There was a deeper power behind him that a small wealthy family like The Grooves could only dream of comparing to.
And now, Bella White, who was once chased out of The Grooves and who was merely a fake daughter, has become Digby Hart’s biological daughter.
It was completely absurd.
Doesn’t this make The Grooves look like a laughingstock for chasing Bella out?
At this thought, a tightness filled Caryn’s chest.
Sanny Groove was only Digby Hart’s adopted sister.
She knew that aristocratic families like The Harts valued bloodline, and they wouldn’t have a place for Sanny once Bella was recognized.
Only a year has passed, but their statuses have completely changed.
At least on the bright side, Sanny was still the Mistress of The Rintos.
The Rintos also wasn’t a bad choice, and their reputation had improved somewhat lately.
However, remembering what Bella had done and her wasted effort, Caryn felt dizzy.
She quickly took a pill that Sanny had given her.
Kevin Groove kept complaining in her ears, “Do you think she will seek revenge on us?
You personally drove her out and did not leave any room for redemption.
If The Harts want to crush us, it will be as easy as crushing an ant…
”
“Shut up,” Caryn scolded.
Kevin Groove touched his nose and said, “The Rintos is the only family who can contend with The Harts.
I think we should get closer to Sanny.
We should invite her to dinner tonight…”
As he spoke, Kevin Groove suddenly widened his eyes, “Damn, speak of the devil, and she appears.”
At the gate, Aubree Groove walked in at a leisurely pace.
Caryn quickly stood up, surprised and somewhat glad, “Aubree?
Why are you here?”
Realizing her words were inappropriate, she quickly went over.
“I came to check on Madam’s pulse and see my senior sister.”
Caryn knew that it was her senior sister who Aubree was truly here for, not Madam.
But she was delighted, because with Sanny here, Aubree would not completely cut ties with The Grooves.
Aubree Groove first checked Madam’s pulse and found no major issues, just a bit of bloating, which is a normal chronic ailment for the elderly.
After adjusting Madam’s diet, Aubree went upstairs.
This once belonged to Xenia Groove.
Maggie Wood had the entire room redecorated, erasing any trace of Xenia.
At this moment, a sleeping young lady was lying on the spacious princess bed.
Aubree squinted her eyes, reminiscent of the time before she descended the mountain when her senior was like this.
So peaceful, it was as if she was asleep, yet no call could awaken her.
At this moment, the soul within her was Alaric Moore’s, yet she remained in a long, deep sleep.
“Aubree, when can Sanny Groove finally wake up?
She has already suffered so much, and now she has to endure this hardship, my poor daughter!” Sylvie muttered and then began to cry.
She was truly distressed.
Aubree calculated silently, her pretty brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
In the grand scheme of things, everything in this world is driven by the thread of karma.
This thread, invisible to all, has already been determined.
Alaric Moore’s soul taking over her senior’s body after her death is the effect.
Aubree suddenly thought of something and looked at Maggie, who was drying her tears, “Do you know Caius Moore and his wife?”
Maggie looked confused.
“Who?”
Frowning, Aubree thought that before Sanny’s birth, Alaric Moore had never been to Pethkids, so there could be no strings attached between them.
It could only be the previous generation due to the blood relation, and this karma could pass onto the next generation.
Maggie mumbled, “Caius Moore?
Why does that name sound familiar?”
“I remember now, he is!” As she spoke, Maggie suddenly froze, her complexion turned slightly pale.
Aubree quietly waited for her answer.
Maggie suddenly looked at Aubree, “Why do you suddenly ask about him?”
Aubree’s deep black eyes, like a bottomless pit, could pierce through all thoughts.
Maggie suddenly felt a chill and tightened the cashmere shawl on her body.
“Eighteen years ago, our business was doing well that we attracted jealousy from our competitors who sabotaged our supplies.
At that time, your grandmother was not in good health and your father…”
Maggie’s complexion changed abruptly, and she quickly changed the address, “Tarnin Groove went to Pethkids for meetings.
It was just me who could make decisions at the time.
I was pregnant with Sanny at that time and so I had to go to Avalon with my baby bump to negotiate with the supplier.”
This event was too long ago, and the memories were very vague, but Maggie always remembered that day.
It could be said to be her greatest humiliation in life.
She had never mentioned it to anyone, not even to Tarnin.
After the negotiations with the supplier, she bought a ticket back to Pethkids.
Then, right at the train station, her wallet, ticket, and mobile phone were stolen.
Back then, mobile phones were old and could only make calls and send text messages, not capable of accessing the internet.
Being five months pregnant and feeling nearly insane at the station, she could only ask for help from the station staff.
Seeing that she was pregnant, the staff reported it to the police for her.
At that time, she was so anxious that she suspected two sneaky-looking people at the side of the road had stolen her wallet.
She confronted them and demanded they hand over her belongings.
“Are you crazy?
I didn’t steal your things.
Don’t delay my journey.
My daughter is in high school in the next city.
Her grades are good, but if I’m late, it will ruin her future.
You can’t bear this responsibility.”
At that time, Maggie was so frantic that she grabbed him and didn’t let go.
She insisted that they return her stolen items.
The wife had a hot temper and started to hit her.
She fainted right then and there, bleeding heavily.
When the police arrived, she was rushed to the hospital, and of course, the couple was detained.
Later, the police cleared up the misunderstanding; it wasn’t the couple who had stolen her wallet but a notorious gang.
Her belongings were recovered. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Maggie hurried home, didn’t even bother to apologize, met the couple again at the station, this time what they splashed at her was sulfuric acid.
If it were not for the intervention of the public, her face would have been ruined.
“You sly woman, you ruined my daughter’s future; I, Caius Moore, will fight you to the death.”
She will always remember the man’s hateful eyes.
It became her nightmare afterwards.
When she returned, she kept her lips sealed and never mentioned this matter to anyone.
No one knew that she had once ruined a girl’s future.
Aubree remembered Alaric Moore mentioning that she was an excellent student during her youth and her parents had high expectations for her.
However, when it was her year of sitting for the entrance examination, an incident occurred.
This incident made her missed her exam, and since then, her parents’ attitude towards her drastically changed.
She herself started to neglect herself and her future.
This is the cause.
Aubree quietly stared at Maggie, “You brought this upon yourself, but my senior had to bear the consequences.”
There’s a twinge in Maggie’s heart, “Wha! What do you mean by that?”
