Chapter 781
"What''s wrong?"
Carter went forward as he wanted to have a look but Walter hid the report away from him.
"You have never cared about my mother throughout the years, so just stay away from her
regardless of what happened!"
"What are you saying? Your mother and I haven''t even divorced yet."
Carter had a hunch that something was wrong and his expression changed the moment he recalled
the content of the recording.
"Is it that the incident mentioned in the recording is true? Your mother..."
"Indeed, a long-standing toxin is detected in my mother''s blood sample! Are you happy now? The
mistress that you have been taking care of intended to kill my mother and even me! I''m probably
dead in the tomb now if Novalee hadn''t fallen in love with me. Mr. Carter Song, are you contented
with what you''ve done?"
Walter threw the test report to Carter''s face directly.
At that moment, Carter waspletely stunned.
How could this be?
How could Delh be the mastermind of a murder when she was so gentle and virtuous?
The recording couldn''t be fabricated and neither could the blood test report be falsified.
Carter could not ept the cruel truth at that instant.
On the other hand, Thomas was embarrassed to the max.
He had always thought that he was the son of a mistress and that he had broken up Walter''s family,
but he realized at this moment that he was worse than a mistress''s son!
He was overwhelmingly ashamed by what Delh had done and he felt embarrassed standing in
front of Walter and Carter.
"I''ll go back and interrogate her."
Thomas''s voice was hoarse while his eyes were slightly red and he probably would have had a
mental breakdown if it weren''t for his maturity and toughness.
Mango and Nathaniel felt really sorry for him.
No one would be able to ept the reality as not only did Thomas have such a mother, but he also
has an excessively greedy and insatiable father like Mitchell.
Carter had mixed feelings when he looked at Thomas as he thought that Thomas was his son but
everything had changed now.
He took a closer look at Thomas and realized that Thomas didn''t resemble his appearances at all
though he took after Delh. At this point, Carter felt really heartbroken deep down although he
didn''t mind previously that Thomas resembled his mother.
What had he done all these years!
He abandoned his wife in the sanatorium without giving a d*mn about her and letting her live
entirely on her own for the sake of an outsider''s son and for his mistress. Now, the rtionship
between him and his son became even tenser as he had disregarded the fact that his son hated
him throughout the years.
Carter failed to protect his family in his present life and he even had to rely on Walter to support his
business.
Carter felt so ashamed that he no longer expected Walter to respect him.
He was so regretful all of a sudden.
"I''ll go back with you as I want to question Delh what exactly does she want to do."
"What she wants to do? Aren''t you aware of her intentions? Or did Delh brainwash you and
turned you into a fool?"
Walter didn''t care about Carter''s reputation at all and every word he said was harsh and savage.
Carter couldn''t refute and he just left with Thomas in embarrassment.
Mango was worried about Thomas and she said to Nathaniel, "You''d better go and have a look as
I''m afraid that Thomas might..."
"He will be fine as I''m sure that he can handle it. You should go back with Walter to have a look
while I''ll stay here to look after Henry as I think auntie wants you to be with her now. She has
already returned to the Song family''s house when I came here."
"What? My mom went to the Song family''s house? She would not be able to defend herself against
Delh!"
Walter became nervous at that instant.
Mango also felt worried.
"Why did you tell us about it now? What if auntie..."
"It''s okay as I told someone to go after her, so don''t worry."
Nathaniel knew that Mango would be worried and it was impossible for him to let Sophia confront
Delh all by herself.
Mango let out a sigh of relief upon hearing
Nathaniel''s words.
"Alright, I''ll go with Walter now and leave Henry to you."
"Go ahead and be careful, just call me if something happens."
Nathaniel looked at Mango with a faint smile.
"Okay."
Mango nodded her head.
She was grateful for Nathaniel''s love and understanding towards her and she appreciated
Nathaniel''s tolerance. She knew that Nathaniel did this because he treasured her and he was afraid
that she might feel sad and be at a loss. Besides, she couldn''t have settled the issue in time if it
weren''t for Nathaniel''s help although she could probably handle it well herself too.
Mango looked at Nathaniel affectionately before she turned around and rushed out of the hospital
with Walter.
Then, all of them returned to the Song family one after the other and they saw Sophia sitting on the
sofa in the living room while Delh was standing on the other side as she red at Sophia with
hatred.
"What happened? Are you alright?"
Carter entered the house and the first thing he did was to ask Sophia about her condition. Sophia
was surprised at first but she smiled sarcastically after giving it a thought.
"Shouldn''t you be asking what happened to your son at this moment and if he has been bullied by
me?"
Sophia''s voice remained soft and gentle but Carter could no longer hold back his anger after
hearing her words.
"Sophia, we are a married couple!"
"Wow, what a rare asion for you to recall that we''re a married couple... I have been gone for
almost 20 years from the Song family''s house and you let a random woman lived here all these
years as if she belongs here! She isn''t even your wife but she was given the title Mrs. Song... Do
you even still have me in your mind?"
Sophia looked at Carter without a trace of resentment in her eyes as she was as calm as a
cucumber and it was tearing Carter''s heart out.
"Sophia, I admit that I''ve been wrong all these years."
"What did you do wrong? Carter, what have you done? I''m your woman! You promised me that
you..."
Delh was panicked when she saw Carter''s reaction.
"You shut up!"
Suddenly, Carter turned around and pped Delh on the face.
"Ah! Carter, are you crazy? How dare you hit me?"
Delh fell to the ground as she didn''t see iting and it was right at the moment that she saw
Thomas entering the house.
"Son, my dearest son! Your father must''ve gone crazy as he pped me! Don''t you see how I''m
being treated at home? I wouldn''t have to suffer such misery if you would''ve returned earlier and
taken over the Song family''s property."
"Shut up! Don''t you feel ashamed? I''m so embarrassed to have a mother like you."
Thomas felt extremely disgusted deep down as he looked at the woman who was crying her heart
out on the floor.
How could this person be his mother?
She did such a shameful thing yet she was still asking him to return and take over the Song family''s
property at this moment. Thomas would''ve been in an awkward position now if it weren''t for the
conflict between him and Walter that urged him not to return to the Song family''s house.
It was rather fortunate that he didn''te back to the Song family''s ce!
Thomas felt really thankful that he made the right decision previously.
On the other hand, Delh was stunned when she heard Thomas''s words.
"Son, I know it''s my fault that I didn''t take good care of you in the past few years, but I''m still your
mother after all! How can you say such things when your dad is bullying me with another woman
now? Aren''t you worried that I will feel hurt deep down? Do you know that I have been dying for you
toe back and be by my side all these years?"
"Why should I be by your side? Are you expecting me to work with you and deceive Mr. Song to
steal his property? You just want me to be with you so that you can cooperate well with Mitchell to
Thomas shouted at Delh loudly out of the blue.
At that instant, Delh waspletely stunned and she felt scared all of a sudden.
"What are you talking about? Thomas, what''s wrong with you and why are you mumbling about
such nonsense?"
"Nonsense? Did you forget about the things that you told Mitchell a few days ago? Ah, have I told
you that Mitchell was captured by the police when he was murdering Novalee ording to your
instructions? He is now in the detention center and the police are interrogating him... Perhaps it
won''t take too long before you are asked to go to the police station too. Mom, haven''t you heard of
the saying that justice always prevails?"
Thomas had no idea what to do all of a sudden as he looked at Delh as she was the one who
gave birth to him.
At that instant, Delh''s face turned pale with fear.
She seemed to have realized something and she immediately crawled toward Carter before
grabbing his trousers and cried, "Carter, I have been wronged and I''m telling you the truth! It was
Mitchell who forced me to do this... It''s him! He forcefully raped me and threatened to post the
footage on the inte if I don''t follow his orders! Carter, I''m really afraid of him and don''t you know
what kind of person I am after living with me for so many years?"
Carter looked at the tearful woman in front of him and he recalled the incident that happened 20
years ago suddenly.
Delh cried pitifully as she told him that her parents had died and that she had been sold by her
aunt to be a prostitute in the club. At that time, she had no choice but to ask Carter to help her
redeem her freedom.
Carter could not recall why did he help Delh redeem her freedom back then as it could be due to
Sophia''s obstinateness or his innate evil instincts as a man that urged him to sleep with Delh that
night. After that, he sacrificed everything that he had for her.
Now that Carter thought about it, he had no idea what benefits had he gotten from Delh
throughout the years.
Perhaps it was Delh''s younger age that gave him a sense of superiority or her gentle and
considerate facade that moved him deep down. Nevertheless, Carter realized after thinking about it
thoroughly that it was always when he quarreled with Walter that Delh got the chance to sweet-
talk him and make him happy.
Delh would always side with Walter by saying that he was still a naive child and telling Carter not
to take his words to heart. She said that Walter was still at a young and rebellious stage but he
would surely change his attitude when he matured.
Throughout the years, the rtionship between Carter and Walter had deteriorated day by day and
their quarrels were increasingly intense yet Carter had always thought that it was all because of
Walter''s naiveness. He had the misconception that Walter deliberately fought against him because
of Sophia but it wasn''t until this moment that Carter realized that it was because of Delh!
It was Delh''s schemes that gradually worsened his rtionship with Walter!
It was also her who brought such a disaster to the Song family this day!
At that instant, Carter recalled that the Song family was about to bankrupt previously.
During those few days, Delh kept asking him about the Song family''s economic situation and she
was even packing her luggage one night. However, she told him that she was just putting away her
unwanted clothes when Carter noticed what she was doing.
At that time, Carter did not think much about it but now that he contemted it, he realized that
Delh probably wanted to leave after knowing that he was about to go bankrupt. However, she
dyed her ns as Carter caught her that night and who knew that Walter had the capability to
revive the Song family afterward.
Carter recalled everything that had happened in the past in his mind and he realized all of a sudden
that he had been living in a beautiful illusion all these years.
Delh was the person who created that sweet yet
fake dream for him.

At this instant, Carter waspletely clearheaded and anger poured through him as he saw how
Delh was still trying to gain his sympathy by using her pitiful and pathetic facade.
