Chapter 429


    Chapter 429 How Could You Think That of Me


    All of a sudden, Cam 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 too 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, na?ve, 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, Cam stared at him


    in surprise. “What?”
