Chapter 1521 A Mystery


    After Raeleigh and the others left, Calvin said right away, "We are here to apologize for what had


    happened in the past."


    Lamar''s expression darkened slightly, but he did not lose his temper. He simply stared at Calvin, who


    gave Belle a look. Following that, Belle stood up in an instant and went to the kitchen to pour some tea


    for Lamar and Jazelle.


    "I have never capitted in my lifetime, except for the sake of my wife. Now, I want to apologize to you


    on behalf of my parents."


    Calvin held the cup of tea and handed it to Lamar, who just stared back at him. There was a starlike


    sparkle in Lamar''s eyes. He did not ept it, nor did he reject it. Consequently, Calvin held the cup of


    tea in air for a long time while waiting for Lamar to receive it. However, Lamar did not do so.


    "It was your mother who stole Raeleigh away back then. I''m afraid that I can''t ept it. Other matters


    are negotiable, but for this one, I''m sorry."


    You are parents too. You understand how precious children are to us. My daughter had been taken


    away when she was born, and I had been looking for her since then. Thank goodness that my effort


    was not in vain. But I could have spent much more time with her in the past as a parent. It was just that


    I had been deprived of the right to do so. Who''s going to make up for all the lost time to me? You, your


    mother, or your son?


    Try to put yourself in my shoes. Originally, we could have put a lid on this matter. I could forgive you


    and your mother if you let Raeleigh go back with us and promised not to disturb us again. But you


    turned a blind eye to your son''s behavior, which in turn led to their marriage.


    Marriage is one of the most important events in life. Although we''re in a modern era, we value the


    traditions one has to go through before the wedding, like the meeting of both families and the nning


    of the wedding.


    I only have a daughter and a son. I won''t let my son marry a person who I have no clear understanding


    of, let alone my daughter.

    Since this marriage took ce without my consent. No matter what''s going on with it, there''s only one


    ending for it, which is divorce."


    "Mr. Osteen..." Belle wanted to speak something, but Calvin held her hand. "We''re not here to discuss


    this. It''s about my mother, who took Raeleigh away."


    "They''re the same, to me at least. I am against Raeleigh marrying your son, and I don''t acknowledge


    this marriage. I won''t tell anyone about what had happened back in the day. Regarding the evidence, I


    will destroy them as well. However, I won''t allow this marriage.


    No matter whether you came for your parents, or your son, my answer is the same, no."


    "Mr. Osteen, why do you have to be so determined? They are in love with each other, but you insist on


    breaking this marriage apart. Doing this won''t do good for anyone.


    When ites to a rtionship, we can''t judge it for them. Only the ones involved can understand their


    own rtionship."


    "Mr. Harvey is right. Outsiders can''t tell the story of their rtionship clearly. Nevertheless, I believe


    that it''s just a temporary suffering to be separated. A few yearster, each of them will find their own


    happiness.


    I think it is worthwhile to use years of suffering in exchange for a lifetime of peace."


    "Mr. Osteen, I can tell that you and your wife are in love with each other. That''s why you should be


    aware that the feelings for someone you love are irreceable. I, too, made some mistakes when I was


    young. No matter how much time has passed, I couldn''t forget about her nor let her go. As long as she


    is still alive, she will stay in my heart forever. A lifetime isn''t that long. I believe that if they truly love


    each other, their feelings willst a lifetime.


    Mr. Osteen, for something as unforeseeable as this, are you willing to bet on it? Using Raeleigh''s


    lifetime as an ante?"


    "You can rest assured that I''m confident. Although Raeleigh loves him, as long as they are separated, I


    have a way to help her get over it and move on."


    "There is no need to make the children pay for the adults'' mistakes. They are innocent."


    As Calvin spoke, he put down the cup of tea from his hand.


    Lamar said, "It might seem to be the case on the surface, but in reality, it will be a disaster for Raelight


    in the future if I let her stay by your mother''s side. There''s definitely no way that I will do so. You should


    know your mother''s character. If she knows that Raeleigh is the child she stole in the past, God knows


    how she will treat Raeleigh.


    I haven''t gotten to the bottom of what had happened that year, but I''m sure that it wasn''t coincident. So


    many lives were lost for the sole purpose of murdering Raeleigh. Isn''t this a well-grounded reason for


    me to separate Raeleigh from your son?"


    "But the two of them have already be husband and wife. Why do you have to tear their marriage


    apart? What''s the point of doing that?"


    Calvin was irritated, but he still stifled his fury.


    Lamar replied, "If it poses a threat to Raeleigh, I will break this marriage apart no matter what.


    I won''t let my daughter be with a man whose grandmother wanted to kill her in the past."


    "You are too stubborn, just like how you were back then." Calvin stood up as he could not continue this


    conversation.


    Seeing her husband getting up, Belle held him down at once and looked at Lamar while asking, "Mr.


    Osteen, if you feel disinclined to ept our proposal, we can discuss it further. In fact, there should be


    a reason for what happened in the past. We are investigating too. It''s just that my father-inw hasn''t


    told the truth so far, and we can''t ask my mother-inw about it. If she knows, Raeleigh may be in


    danger.


    Thus, we''re making slow progress, but anyway, there should be a cause for this matter. Can you tell us


    the cause?"


    "The cause was our identity as renowned archaeologists back then. We were the arbiters when it came


    to the appraisal of artifacts.


    Some people came to us and gave us arge batch of antiques. If one of them were to be genuine, it


    might be worth more than ten million dors. If they went on sale in the market, it would be a


    devastating blow to us.


    After appraising them, we confirmed that they were all counterfeits, so we refused to certify them as


    authentic antiques.


    As a result, those people harbored a grudge against us and threatened us. If we refused to help them,


    they would take measures to coerce us into obeying them.


    We didn''t yield in the end, but we were trapped in the country. Besides, my wife was close tobor at


    that time, and I was perturbed that something would happen on the way. Therefore, we decided to stay


    until the child was born.


    We had made an appointment with a top-notch hospital after careful consideration.


    However, little did we expect that the baby would be taken away right after she was born. Before that,


    the doctor told us that she was gone.


    I didn''t believe it. I went to find the baby, but she was gone.


    We had been looking for the child for a long time, but to no avail.


    It turned out that Mr. Harvey''s mother was the one who took the child away. Why did she do so? It


    remains a mystery even until today.


    The people who came to us back in the day were neither a member from the Harvey family nor people


    with fame. They were a bunch of monstrous robbers whomitted all sorts of crimes. Why Mr.


    Harvey''s mother had dealings with such people was beyond us."
