Chapter 538


    I followed behind Mom carefully. Watching as they got into the car, I stopped a taxi and asked the driver


    to follow behind them. For some reason, Mom entered a hotel with Lucas’ father and stayed inside for


    quite a long time.


    I decided to take a seat in the café opposite the hotel. My face gradually turned pale as I stared at the


    luxury-looking door of the hotel. What’s the rtionship between Mom and Lucas’ father?


    As I pondered, more and more questions appeared in my mind. I reached out a hand to hold my head


    as I felt that my brain was going to explode. Three hourster, Mom finally walked out of the hotel.


    This time, Lucas’ father did not follow beside her. She stood at the hotel entrance as she took out her


    phone to make a call. A momentter, a car pulled over beside her. As soon as she got into the car, the


    car drove away like a sh of lightning.


    Before the driver stepped on the gas, a man lowered the car window of the backseat. I saw Mark


    through the café window and my heart skipped a beat upon seeing the gloomy expression on his face. I


    don’t understand. What has she been doing over the past few years? What secrets is she hiding?

    I took some time to get myself mentally prepared before I walked up to the entrance of the Goldstein


    residence. Standing in front of the ancient-looking mansion, I could not help but feel as though I had


    traveled back to Avenport twenty years ago. I could see tall, gigantic trees behind the roofs. As I


    walked closer, I saw an antique-style mansion that smelled like decayed woods.


    After greeting the security guards at the entrance, they brought me into the residence. I looked around


    in the living room and sat patiently on the couch. I remembered seeing Mom just now when I was still


    outside, so I wondered where she went as I came in.


    Suddenly, a sense of curiosity surged within me. I was dying to know how Mom’s ce looked like, so I


    continued walking on the path in the backyard. As soon as I reached another house, an argument


    echoed from the side. “Dad, what do you mean by transferring all the shares to Uncle Mark? What


    about us? We’ve been giving all of our efforts to the family over the years, and he’s going to take over


    thest things we have.”


    “Lucas, that’s enough! All of these indeed belong to your uncle. I was only managing for him back then.


    We’ll move out of here tomorrow after transferring the shares to them. Your uncle can only feel relieved


    with that.”


    “No, he’ll only feel relieved after I’m dead,” Lucas responded furiously.


    “Shh! Keep it down! Don’t you understand the current situation in our family?”


    “I’m already suffering because of him! Will that be any different from death?”


    I blinked my eyes slowly as I heard everything from outside. I was very familiar with Lucas’ voice. When


    we first met each other, I had asked something about his health. He told me that idents happened


    more frequently in wealthy families. It turns out that someone has set up the ident on purpose!


    Lucas roared, “Dad, he has pinned you down for so many years. Do you not hold any grudge toward


    him? Back then, you knew he was the one who caused my ident, but you pretended to act like a


    fool! He gave you an excuse that he was recuperating overseas and asked you to take over his


    company. It seemed that he had trusted you a lot. In fact, he was only taking all your power away. You


    became a doll who could not do anything even though you owned part of the shares for thepany.


    Look at you. You don’t even dare to say anything. You don’t think for yourself, but what about me? Do


    you n to wait for me to die first before you start fighting for your right?”


    “Lucas, your Uncle Mark is a capable man. He should be the one to manage thepany. I beg you to


    stop talking about it. Our rtionship will be ruined if he hears that.”


    “That’s right. He asked Isabelle to test you just now as he wanted to know if you would fight back. Do


    you think I can’t see what he’s doing? Dad, you have a perfect opportunity, but you let it slip away like


    that. Do you want to see me suffer before you learn your lesson?”


    Suddenly, I realized I had stumbled across some deadly secrets. Feeling anxious, I wanted to leave the


    house as soon as possible. However, Lucas walked out of the door with a darkened expression before I


    managed to turn around. He froze for a moment, but his vicious look turned calm gradually. “What are


    you doing here?”
