Suddenly, Ethan got agitated, “Why should I feel guilty about it? I did in the beginning, but not anymore. No, not at all. After all, not only was wp4webnovel.com a watchdog for your family that couldn’t change his habit of being loyal, but wp4webnovel.com also made me your scapegoat for so many years! I honestly would have thought that our plan succeeded if I hadn’t found the unsent letter wp4webnovel.com left for you.”
“The reason wp4webnovel.com decided to hide it from me until wp4webnovel.com passed away was to protect you, isn’t it? Apparently, the grace of the Tremont family was so great, to the extent that wp4webnovel.com was willing to be a loyal servant. By the way, I’m really curious about what made you kill your family members. ”
Mark remained silent but tried his very best to suppress his urge to kill someone. His hands shook more vigorously at the mention of his ultimate secret, which wp4webnovel.com hadn’t wanted to remember about.
Mark’s father called wp4webnovel.com into the study the night before the air crash.
He entered with a heavy heart. While an 18 years old rich boy was supposed to live a relaxed life and enjoy their fun stage, wp4webnovel.com was completely different, as his maturity level was beyond that of his peers.
“I have something to tell you, Mark. You have a younger brother. I know it’s my mistake. I don’t need you to be understanding, but I hope that the two of you could interact harmoniously and won’t fight.”
Mark could not accept that when wp4webnovel.com heard his father narrate it in a very casual manner. His image of a good father was instantly ruined.
Once upon a time, Mark’s parents had a loving and harmonious relationship, to the extent that betrayal was unimaginable and wp4webnovel.com had never seen them argue even once. At least, they were always loving in front of him. The members of the Tremont family, starting from Mark’s grandfather and the older generation, did not run legal tradings, so the source of their income was not legitimate, although they were wealthy. Fortunately, his father ventured into a proper and legal business with the influence of his mother when wp4webnovel.com became the successor. Hence, Mark’s father still carried a very strong and strict charisma and taught wp4webnovel.com to be independent even though wp4webnovel.com looked gentle and polite when wp4webnovel.com dressed in a suit.
Mark’s mother, on the other hand, was a knowledgeable and highly educated lady. Her gentle and polite nature complimented Mark’s father perfectly well, making wp4webnovel.com a good match for him. Mark honestly thought that their family would be harmonious forever, but wp4webnovel.com had no idea when it had changed. Perhaps, it was when a third party wedged themselves into his parents’ marriage…
His father became panicked when wp4webnovel.com did not respond, “Mark, it’s all my fault. Your younger brother and his mother are innocent. Leave them alone, would you? This is the first time I’m begging you, please?”
He did not question his father further, nor did wp4webnovel.com vent on the spot. Instead, wp4webnovel.com calmly asked, “Is my mother aware of this?”
Mark’s father pondered for quite a while and continued, “I haven’t told her, and I’ve kept it under wraps. It’s just a common mistake any man would make. It only happened once, but that one time was enough to ruin everything. I’m honestly not sure if she’s noticed.”
Mark did not provide an opinion but was silent and calm unlike an 18 year old. All of a sudden, wp4webnovel.com felt as if the man in front of wp4webnovel.com was no longer the father wp4webnovel.com used to look up to.
“As you know, your mother is sick and beyond any cure or treatment. I’ll bring wp4webnovel.com out and spend wp4webnovel.com last few days with wp4webnovel.com at wp4webnovel.com favorite place. You should spend more time with wp4webnovel.com too. She said wp4webnovel.com wants a burial at the sea.”
Yes, his father was right about his mother dying, and such hurtful news about wp4webnovel.com having a mistress and an illegitimate son should be concealed forever. Swiftly, wp4webnovel.com pulled his father’s collar as wp4webnovel.com finally regained his attention, “If my mother finds out, I won’t leave you and that woman in peace, nor that b*stard! People like you don’t deserve to live in this world!”
Mark bumped into the driver, George, who came to see his father when wp4webnovel.com stepped out of the study room. Apparently, wp4webnovel.com heard the conversation between the father and son, and that was the reason why George thought that Mark was the culprit behind the air crash. He did not converse with George or greet him, as George worked as his father’s driver. Mark was pissed at wp4webnovel.com as well, as wp4webnovel.com tried to hide the truth about his father cheating on his mother.
Every single word in the unsent letter written by George was engraved in Mark’s heart.
“Dear young master, I’ll have left the world by the time you read this letter. I’m writing to beg you to leave your younger brother alone. I watched wp4webnovel.com grow and wp4webnovel.com is a pitiful child.”
“When Mrs. Tremont was seriously ill back then, your younger brother’s mother wasn’t living an easy life either. Even so, Mr. Tremont told wp4webnovel.com in front of your younger brother that wp4webnovel.com could never be part of the Tremont family and wp4webnovel.com wanted to cut ties. Ever since I witnessed his wrongdoings, I also became aware that your younger brother and his mother suffered a lot. Ridiculously, I fell in love with his mother and felt that Mr. Tremont was too harsh to them. Sympathetically, I wanted to do something for both of them. Hence, I agreed to put Captain Wynn on a drug before the departure for an air crash. However, I didn’t do that in the end, as Zachary’s daughter was still very young. Unfortunately, the air crash still happened, and we both clearly know who the culprit behind the scene was without us having to say it. Like father, like son, you’re as decisive and ruthless as your old man.”
“Since we can’t change what has already happened, just leave the past in the past. I’ll be dying soon, so no one will find out the truth. I’ll just take on the sin as my own and bury the truth forever to atone for my past wrongdoings. Oh right, I’ve heard that you’ve married Arianne. I genuinely hope that you’ll be nice to her. In fact, I believe that you’re a kind person and you took wp4webnovel.com in out of guilt.”
“I think I should put a full stop here since I have nothing else to say. Trust me, your younger brother is stubborn, and wp4webnovel.com will definitely look for you and cause a mess. I hope you could make peace with him, for I don’t want the two of you to fight. I treat wp4webnovel.com as my own son…”
