    Chapter 429 How Could You Think That of Me


    All of a sudden, Gianna could somewhat understand Ss’s hatred. Anybody would choose to get


    revenge if they had a father who not only shirked his duties as a father but also framed their mother,


    who had suffered all sorts of abuse because of him. Then, she nced at Ss suspiciously. “At that


    time, Lara and Edward must have been very suspicious of you, right? How did you survive? Moreover,


    you even managed to help out your mother and Brian in secret.” After saying that, she abruptly turned


    to look at him. “What Brian said couldn’t have been true, right?” It wasn’t as if she didn’t trust him, but


    the way he was acting tonight clearly showed that he med himself for what happened. If this incident


    had nothing to do with him, he wouldn’t act like that!


    In response, Ss lifted his gaze and looked at her with an expression that seemed to say: ‘How could


    you think that of me?!’


    Thus, she hurriedly exined, “I know you weren’t behind it. But, the way you act makes me think that


    you were involved in the matter somehow, right?”


    He sighed deeply before saying, “Yes, you’re right! My mother got into the car ident six months after


    she left the Nn Family. After they left, I began recruiting and training my own men in secret. I didn’t


    have money, but Grandpa doted on me at the time. Thus, my allowance was never cut off. Isaac was


    the first person I recruited at the time. He wasn’t chosen to be a bodyguard candidate, but I took him in


    because he seemed capable. But, I didn’t hire him to protect me. At the Nn Residence, I was


    protected by Grandpa. Therefore, Edward and Lara didn’t dare to openly do anything to me. However,


    that wasn’t the same for my mother and Brian. For that reason, I sent Isaac to secretly protect my


    mother and Brian. After that, he devoted himself to protecting my mother for more than three months.


    During that period, he managed to solve some minor troubles for them. Just as I was starting to let my


    guard down and focus on my own affairs, I received a phone call from him one day. He told me that he


    had identally collided into the car my mother was in while he was driving, and my mother was in the


    hospital for emergency treatment.” Pausing for a moment, he sighed again. “I was still young and


    inexperienced, so I didn’t think too much about it. When I was older, I finally noticed that there were tooOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org.


    many coincidences lined up together for that incident to actually be a coincidence. Isaac was working


    for me, but he ran into my mother. The main purpose for that was to turn us brothers against each


    other. You saw it for yourself; Brian would still believe that even today. Secondly, they wanted to get rid


    of my mother lest she caused trouble in the future. Lastly, Brian would be a goner without my mother. It


    was three birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider it so deeply at the time. Back then,


    Isaac knelt in front of me and begged for mercy. So, I sent him to the police station after beating him


    up. By the time the pieces of the puzzle clicked in ce for me, he was gone without a trace. Since


    then, I’ve been looking for him. I’ve been ming myself for it-why didn’t I notice what they did in the


    first ce?”


    Upon hearing that, her expression became one of disgust. After that, sheforted him, saying, “You


    were young, naive, and inexperienced back then. Moreover, no ordinary person could have imagined


    that they would do something so unimaginably cruel! Still, don’t you think it’s strange that the man


    you’ve been looking for all this while would suddenly turn up at your doorstep?” He replied, “Yes, they


    must be trying to create a rift between Brian and me on purpose. I guess they felt that we were getting


    along too well. So, they released that man to confuse us with falsehoods.” She asked, “Do you mean


    Lara and your father?”


    In response, he looked gloomy. “Who else could it be if not them?”


    On the other hand, she looked extremely concerned. “But, how are you going to exin this to Brian?


    After all, Isaac was one of your men! I believe everything you said, but Brian might not!” Holding her


    hands in his, Ss’s thumb gently made circles against the back of her hand as he mockingly smiled


    and said, “They must be certain that Brian and I will turn against each other like how we did before.


    That’s why they released Isaac. But, they’ve forgotten that I’m no longer the same person I was back


    then. If it wasn’t out of respect for Grandpa, we might have been at each other’s throats a long time


    ago. For now, I want Grandpa to live out the rest of his life peacefully. I will get my revenge on them


    sooner orter. Besides, I have sufficient reasons to make Brian believe me.”


    Then, Gianna stared at him in surprise. “What?”
