As the eldest daughter-inw of the Banks Family, Deana’s immediate response upon seeing this post was to click and find out what had transpired. Although she seldom discusses her husband or the Banks Family, she is, after all, part of the family and has heard various stories about them.


    Her son and daughter were kidnapped and nearly killed in Japan, an incident that left her with lingering fears and heightened concern for the situation in that country.<fnf0c5> Original content can be found at find~novel</fnf0c5>


    Deana was also aware that Xion had killed members of the Matsumoto family. While she thought this situation was somewhat exaggerated, Zayne was furious at the time. When he issued the order, his determination was unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation.


    Subsequently, Xion and arge contingent of Banks Family experts were captured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Deana recognized that this event significantly impacted the Banks Family, greatly diminishing their overall strength. From that day forward, Zayne was rendered almost helpless, and Deana remained a constant presence by his side.


    However, she was unaware of Zayne’s n to rescue Xion, and this made her quite curious when she stumbled upon the post.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon clicking, she found an announcement from the Japanese National Security Agency, which stated that the Banks Family had instructed and carried out the murder of several members of the Matsumoto family. As a result, all of the Banks Family’s men were captured by the Self-Defense Forces stationed in Osaka. Xion also fell victim during this turmoil, but unexpectedly, the Banks Family had allied with high-ranking officials in the Self-Defense Forces, resulting in Xion being removed from police custody, leaving her whereabouts unknown.


    In response, the Japanese Homnd Security Bureau issued a formal protest against the Banks Family, demanding that they return Xion to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without dy. If not, the Banks Family would face aplete blockade throughout Japan, with only 24 hours toply.


    Reading this, Deana was taken aback, unable to hide her surprise. She muttered to herself, “Why would they invest so much time and resources for Xion? Why risk offending the entire Japanese government and its people? This doesn’t align with my husband’s usual approach. Not to mention, my father-inw, Lord Banks, isn’t the type to make such decisions!”


    Curiosity pushed her to read further.


    The announcement went on to reveal, “In truth, the Banks Family did not genuinely intend to rescue Xion. Instead, they viewed her as a pawn for negotiations and power exchange. They hoped that by rescuing Xion, they could sell her to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces for recognition, and at the same time, appease her maternal family. Xion’s mother, Kairi Elms, hails from one of China’s four prominent martial arts families, and they intended to win her favor.”


    Deana was left speechless! “Xion is Kairi’s child?! How have I never known this?!”


    She was familiar with Kairi, who had once been Zayne’s bodyguard until she sustained injuries while protecting Lord Banks and subsequently left the family.


    “But when did Kairi have a daughter? And why did she send her daughter to the Banks household to serve as Zayne’s bodyguard?”


    “Furthermore, why is Kairi’s daughter named Banks?!”


    Deana scrolled down again, encountering a shocking revtion that left her in disbelief! It imed that Xion was the illegitimate daughter of Zayne from an affair with Kairi, who concealed her true identity and sent her to the Banks Family. This revtion struck Deana like a bolt of lightning!


    Even though there was no concrete evidence to support this im, her intuition as a woman told her that what she read was likely true!


    She never imagined that her husband, whom she believed loved and remained loyal to her, could betray her—especially not twenty years ago! Moreover, he had an illegitimate daughter!
