Chapter 1413 Sounding Out Titus and Julia

• Toby explained, "Titus and Henry grew up in the same compound, so it was only natural for them to become the best of friends. Their friendship lasted until high school, but as they grew older, their families had increasingly higher hopes for them. Henry had always been an outstanding student of good character and an heir whom their elders approved of the most, whereas Titus, who did nothing all day other than fool around, was just the opposite. They thus became two contrasting examples in the words of their elders, and Titus' parents even compared him with Henry, so he became envious of Henry over time."
• Hearing the man's words, Taylor came to realize something, and her lips trembled. "Was that why Dad cut ties with Miss Reed's adoptive father?"
• Toby replied, "That's right; they cut ties with each other because of that. However, the Reeds got in trouble shortly after that, going bankrupt and dropping out of the ranks of Seafield's distinguished families. The Grays weren't doing any better either. They didn't go bankrupt, but their assets shrank a lot, making them just an ordinarily rich family."
