Awkwardly clearing his throat, Lucas stated, "Alright that was my bad, I am not so good at remembering names."


    Looking at Latif, Roger frowned, "What do you mean by there was no funeral?" He couldn''t understand what Latif was trying to say. Lucas not being invited for the funeral was really very strange, in fact, the way his dad reacted after Ange''s death was also very weird. Considering the fact that Ange was his favourite child, his father''s reaction was way too normal and calm. ??


    Keeping quiet for quite some time, Latif started exining, "Ange never died, it was all a part of your father''s n." Without waiting for anyone''s reply or reaction, he continued, "When Ange told your father that she wants to go to the city and continue her studies there, he was very reluctant at first butter when she told him that she has developed a liking towards Mo Yichan, he immediately agreed which is very strange because he has always been very cautious of the Mo family and had always kept a distance with them—"


    Cutting him off, Yufan frowned, "But why?"


    "I have no idea but he has always been careful around them. This is also the reason why he wasn''t a really huge fan of Roger being friends with you all." Pausing for a while, Latif added, "After Ange left, boss assigned a few men to keep a very close eye on her and all of you. He wanted to—he...."


    When he hesitated for a while, Roger snapped, "He what? Speak up Latif."


    "He wanted to turn you against everyone." Without waiting for anyone''s reply, Latif exined further, "Your father knew how much you adored Ange so he wanted to use her to create a difference between all of you. Though his initial n was very different from what happened, he still got what he wanted."


    "What did he exactly want to do?" Roger curiously inquired. After learning the truth, he was feeling very muddle headed and wronged. For so many years, he thought Ange was dead and kept ming his friends who were as innocent as he was.


    Helplessly shaking his head, Latif sighed, "Initially he wanted to send you away and force Ange to create a scene with Yichan. Considering the fact that you are close to your sister, your father was sure that you would definitely me him for hurting your sister and not caring about her feelings. But his entire n was messed up when Ange tried to push her friend in the water but ended up falling as well. Your father''s assigned men were very much present when this happened and were about to save your sister but your friends managed to save her first and took her to the hospital."


    Pausing for a while, he continued, "Ange was alive when she was taken to the hospital and the doctors managed to save her. At thest moment, your father thought of something and decided to bribe the doctors and dere her dead. His men already had the talk with the hospital management and the doctor in charge, Wulos just dropped by and made the payment before taking Ange with him." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Latif sighed, "There were a few obstacles but things became very easy when you decided not to attend the funeral. After a few months, you did the exact thing your dad wanted you to, going against your friends, especially Mo Yichan."


    "But why did he want Roger to go against everyone?" Lucas frowned, he couldn''t understand why his father wanted that to happen.


    Latif sighed and shook his head, "I don''t know but he did tell us that if Roger started going against you all, it would benefit him a lot and he would be able to execute his n well."


    Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What kind of n?"


    "I have no idea, I left the main base and started following Roger years ago. Though I do get information about the activities that happen there, I am still unaware of what the big boss is nning. The only person who knows everything about his ns is Wulos."


    Turning towards Roger, he added, "I wanted to tell you about this a long time back but I couldn''t, it wasn''t safe for you. I knew you would react very violently and challenge your father about it—" Helplessly shaking his head, Latif sighed, "Your father didn''t even think twice before sending his men to kill Lucas who is also his own blood, what makes you think that he would flinch before killing you? I just wanted to keep you safe young master—"


    Cutting him off, Roger snarled, "By lying to me? All these days I kept feeling guilty and ming the people who were a victim of my father''s sly n and you are telling me that you lied to me to keep me safe?"


    "Roger you don''t understand, you were just a pawn for your father and he used you to get his work done. If I had told you the truth earlier, things would have gotten moreplicated and maybe you would also end up losing your life. I didn''t want you to get hurt—"


    Roger mockingly scoffed and was about to snap again when Yichan interrupted him, "Where did he keep Ange all these years?"


    "She is with big boss, he keeps her around him all the time and when he is away, Wulos takes care of her," Latif answered.


    Looking at him, Lucas curiously inquired, "Why are you telling us this Latif? Aren''t you one of my fathers loyal one? Why would you go against him?"


    Keeping quiet for quite some time, Latif sighed, "Since all of you are together and know that truth, I feel that young master is safe now. Even if the masteres to know that truth, Roger is in safe hands." Without waiting for anyone''s reply, he continued, "I will give you all some privacy."


    After Latif left, Roger pinched his brows and slumped down on the couch.
