Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: The Truth of the Past
It was also at that time that the struggle between Jimmy Simmons and Arnold Simmons began.
Due to the superiority he felt during his youth, Jimmy did not consider Arnold, a bastard son, a rival.
However, unexpectedly, he ended up severely falling on his face against the very person he most looked down on.
That was the first time Jimmy lost to Arnold.
The final result was that his attempt to hire a hitman backfired, leading to his own downfall off a cliff, followed by his disappearance.
After Arnold left, the old butler stood downstairs for a long time, and after a thought, he decided to head to the study.
Having watched Jimmy grow up, over the years, no one knew the internal affairs of the Simmons family better than him.
It was time to reveal something.
In the study.
Several books were scattered across the floor, with an empty slot on the bookshelf next to them.
It was clear they had been tossed to the ground.
The old butler sighed, walked over, bent down, and started placing the books back on the shelf one by one.
Jimmy sat on the side, his head down, his expression gloomy.
The old butler knew somewhat about the current situation of the Simmons’ clan, "Young Master, there are some things, I’m not sure if I should say."
Feeling irritated, Jimmy looked up to see it was the old butler, and he managed to suppress his anger once again.
Uncle Chen had been with their family for many years, following him since his grandfather’s youth.
Jimmy still had some respect for him.
"Uncle Chen, please speak your mind."
Uncle Chen had aged, his eyes were not as good as in his youth; he stayed in the old house to help look after it and keep some memories alive.
Now looking at Jimmy, he could see some of Old Sir Simmons’ youthful features in him, "Actually, the affair concerning your parents indeed had nothing to do with the Second Young Master."
Adhering to the traditions of the Simmons family, in front of outsiders, Arnold was still considered the second young master of the Simmons house.
Jimmy frowned, "What do you mean?"
The old butler let out a long sigh, his muddy eyes brimming with tears, "It’s all misdeeds."
Old Sir Simmons boasted of his charm, and even after being married, he didn’t stop flirting around.
He had a handsome face and seductive, affectionate eyes, which seemed loving to everyone; the number of women deceived by him was not small.
But most of these women were sensible enough to know that following such a man wouldn’t lead to a future, and most didn’t seek to challenge his wife for status, being content with securing some money before leaving.
However, among them, there were deceived decent young ladies.
Arnold’s mother was one of them.
This incident was actually well-known; the romantic escapades of Old Sir Simmons were almost public knowledge in the entire circle back then.
A few years later, Arnold was brought back to the Simmons family.
The events that took place during this period didn’t need to be elaborated on by Uncle Chen, as Jimmy was fully aware of them.
Arnold held no status in the Simmons family, and anyone who found him displeasing could step forward and curse or beat him.
Old Sir Simmons never concerned himself with these matters, and Jimmy’s father naturally wasn’t fond of this brother who was about the same age as his own son.
It wasn’t until Arnold joined the Simmons’ company.
At that time, Arnold was very low-key, seemingly purposefully concealing his capabilities.
But even so, Jimmy’s father still did not trust this brother of his.
Jimmy’s father did not inherit Old Sir Simmons’ acumen for business, managing the business only averagely; Old Sir Simmons was always dissatisfied with him.
If it weren’t for Jimmy, his favored grandson, Jimmy’s father would have certainly never received any favor from Old Sir Simmons.
