Chapter 507: The Shocking Truth


    Amora arrived in Lostaria.


    "Excuse me, may I know how to get to the Tsurka family residence?"


    "Might you be asking about Jade Garden?" the Jetroinian girl bowed politely and inquired in return.


    Jade Garden? Amora did not know too much about the Tsurkas, but nodded reflexively when she heard


    that name.


    "Yes."


    "You should take a taxi and go about three miles in this direction, Miss.When you see a yard full of


    peonies, you''ll know that you''re in the right ce" said the girl who went on to offer further details.


    Amora thanked her promptly before she gged down a taxi and headed toward the ce described.


    Peonies? Does Japan have peonies? And an entire garden of it? That was the one question Amora


    obsessed over the short ride.


    After ten minutes or so, her eyes widened in astonishment when greeted with the sight of a sea of deep


    purple and brilliant red before she steadily alighted.


    They really are peonies! Not only that, the entire garden was intricately imbued with an old-world


    charm.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    The walls which enclosed this sea of blossoms were constructed using blue bricks and red tiles, with


    circr sectors hollowed out at intervals within its wave-like form.


    At first impression, she felt like she have stepped into a Chanaean garden back home rather than any


    ce in Japan.


    Why would a Jetroinian family employ such an architectural style? That did much to pique Amora''s


    curiosity, and when she came closer, she discovered a sweet voice emanating from the other side of


    that wall.


    "He''s being difficult."


    "What''s the matter? Has he upset you again?"


    The discontent conveyed through that delicate voice was followed closely by the gentle inflection of a


    concerned older male.


    The woman sounded mildly miffed, and it was not certain what she was doing before the sshing of


    water was heard.


    "He''s not being appreciative at all.The reason why I kept thatss around was because he couldn''t


    seem to move on from her, and now he''s cussing at me and even threatening to jump to his death? Is


    he mental?"


    Amora was slightly taken aback.


    This voice, doesn''t sound that lovely anymore.


    After hearing how the demure voice from before had seemingly morphed into that of a mean-spirited


    and foul-mouthed shrew, Amora could no longer refrain from peering inside through that fan-shaped


    opening.


    There was, indeed, a woman and a man inside, but to Amora''s surprise, they were not in a yard, but a


    hot spring surrounded by peonies on all four sides.


    At this moment, a bikini-d woman with a wicked figure was canoodling with a pot-bellied elderly man.


    "So, this is what it''s about.There''s no need to get all worked up over this.The kid cares a lot about his


    pride and surely won''t make a move for as long as that girl remains Kane''s wife.But worry not.With


    Chris now dead, we''ll just have to wait until we secure all of Ronin Corporation''s shares.When the time


    comes, wouldn''t it be easy for us to have her marry Solomon?"


    Amora was all thunderstruck and mouth agape as she listened in.


    Is Chris...dead? However, this was not the worst of it.


    The more terrifying sight she picked up through her vantage point was when the woman was happily


    coaxed into facing around toward the elderly man.


    Smack! Amora''s mind nked out when she red at the woman, stupefied.


    How could this be? This woman...why does she resemble that person in the photograph Mom had


    always kept close to her? Mom said she''s called Yancy Young, her very best friend who, unfortunately,


    passed away when her child was only eight.


    Shell-shocked to see the woman still alive and kicking, Amora staggered backward and missed her


    footing.


    Crash!


    "Who''s there?"


    The man inside the hot spring turned around sharply with a murderous gaze.


    Amora brought a hand over her mouth to prevent herself from crying out, but she had no time to


    escape before several deft shadows rose from within the Jade Garden and pounced upon her.


    "How disappointing.I''ve considered letting you off this once on your mother Heather''s ount, but you


    just have to show up here.Now, you''ve no one else to me but yourself."


    After Yancy got dressed, she walked over with arms akimbo and regarded the woman who had been


    subdued by the bodyguards.


    Amora jerked her head up and red back.


    "So, it really is you.Why did you do it? Why did you lie to my mother?"


    "Hmm..."


    The woman finally evoked some semnce of self-consciousness.


    "It was...a matter of expediency back then."


    "A matter of expediency? My mother supported and raised your son like her own until he turned


    eighteen, and kept his identity a secret at your request.When you wanted to send him abroad at


    eighteen, she put in the money and effort to make arrangements.And now, you''re turning around to


    casually dismiss it as a matter of expediency? How could you, Yancy Young?"


    Recalling everything that her mother did for this woman made Amora choke up when she confronted


    her.
