The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 122 (2)

Worried about any misunderstandings, Rockefeller shook his head immediately.

"No, it's not that I'm interested, but... how should I put it... you two look so much alike."

As he spoke, Rockefeller carefully observed Ricardo's expression.

However, there seemed to be little to gain from his dry expression.

"It's because we're twins."

"But do you usually live together with your sister?"

"No, we usually live apart. This time, she came to see me because she wanted to see the sea."

"Is that so?"

This time, Ricardo asked with a smile.

Ricardo laughed and asked, "You seem to be unusually interested in my clueless younger sister. I thought you weren't interested in women like others."

"No, it's not like that. I'm just curious."

"What about working with my sister? If you really like her, that is."

"What? All of a sudden? What..."

"As I said, my sister can't just play around all the time, she needs a job. From my perspective as her older brother, it seems better for her to work as a secretary here rather than in a more troublesome place."

Rockefeller spoke seriously to Ricardo, "I think you've misunderstood something. I wasn't particularly interested in your sister."

"I wasn't serious either. I was just asking if you could try my sister as a secretary if you have the time."

Ricardo continued, "Wouldn't a female secretary who acts more efficiently than me be better? And you'll need someone to help you when I'm not around."

What was his intention?

Rockefeller's mind began to race.

'Is he trying to plant someone else beside me because he wants to focus on other matters as the head of the family? Is that why he's keeping his sister's true identity a secret?'

The most annoying thing was that he couldn't determine the true identity of Ricardo's sister.

'What on earth is her true identity?'

"Hmm... I've been short on help lately. It's not because your sister is beautiful or anything. It's just that I need more hands."

Getting closer to her would be the best strategy to find out her identity.

'If she's from the Ismail family, it wouldn't be bad to have her by my side to protect me.'

"But does your sister know anything about our business?"

Ricardo replied with a smile, "Since I've been working in this field, my sister has naturally taken an interest in it. She's not an expert, but she knows enough to be useful right away."

"Is that so? Then I guess we'll have to interview her. I don't know if it's rude at this late hour."

"It won't be rude. As her older brother, I've always been worried about her doing nothing all day. If it's not a problem, I'll go downstairs and bring her up."

When Rockefeller agreed, Ricardo went downstairs and brought his sister.

"Is it true that you're looking for a secretary?"

Rockefeller alternately looked at Ricardo and his sister, carefully examining their builds.

'Their body shapes are quite similar. Ricardo was said to have a small frame for a man.'

Ricardo, the head of the Ismail family, was different from ordinary men. He had a small stature, a slender figure, and a delicate appearance, making him look like a beautiful young man.

In another way, he could perfectly disguise himself as a woman.

'If he wore a chest pad made of slime powder and put on makeup... It's no wonder he's known as the man with a thousand faces...'

"I heard you were looking for a job."

While speaking, Rockefeller looked at Ricardo's sister again.

She was taller than other women, had an appropriate chest size, and had hair and eyes that were identical to Ricardo's, as they were twins.

If she were to dress as a man, it wouldn't be too difficult to transform into someone like Ricardo.

'Since she's a tall woman, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for her to dress as a man. After all, the people of Ismail disguise themselves as others as naturally as eating.'

"Let me ask you simply. How much do you know about our business?"

At Rockefeller's question, Ricardo's sister seemed momentarily flustered.

She was undoubtedly a woman.

"Your business? I don't know much about it..."

At that moment, Ricardo gave her a hint, and she closed her eyes tightly and said, "I don't know much, but I'll do my best!"

Rockefeller frowned, unsatisfied.

'If she's from the Ismail family, that must be an act too.'

"What you said is completely different from what I expected. But I was hoping you knew a little more."

Ricardo reacted to his words, "You may not see it now, but she will definitely impress you if you give her a chance."

"Really?"

"She learns quickly, just like me. So you don't have to worry too much."

"Hmm... It's not that I'm particularly impressed, but I am short on help. She can start working here tomorrow."

At that, her expression brightened, and she clasped her hands together.

"Really?"

"Yes, you can start coming in tomorrow."

As Rockefeller watched her reaction, he suddenly had a thought.

'Now that I think about it, it was Ricardo who revealed that his sister had died. Maybe Ricardo might have been lying in the novel. After all, the novel didn't go into much detail about Ricardo's family.'

Who lived and who died at that time wasn't very important to Rockefeller.

Whoever lived there, Ismail's intent to spare him had been already confirmed.

Speaking of which, in Ismail's world, it is said that to impersonate someone, you even need to tailor your thoughts to the person being impersonated. They say you must go to such lengths to never get caught.

Rockefeller's gaze turned to the two siblings standing in front of him.

One certain thing was that one of them was a fabricated fake.

'And the other is the real Ismail family head, just as I thought.'
