My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Chapter 123 - Alpha And Zero

"How do you know?"

"You should have told me from the start!" Vincent could no longer hold back his emotions.

"How can I tell you when I just found out that Cathy is Chloe's daughter a few moments ago. From the start, I thought the four of them are Daniel's kids."

"Daniel? Who is it?"

Benjamin sighed. "Daniel Paxton. He's my stepbrother and Chloe's younger brother."

"You have an older brother? How come I never met him?"

Benjamin answered with a sneer. How could Vincent have met him if he never met Daniel himself?

"I heard that Daniel ran away from the house when my father married my mother. Since then, my mother never mentioned Daniel's name and made sure to people that I was Davone's only son."

Vincent shook his head in disbelief. He knew that ever since Lest told him where the Paxton family came from, he knew the Chloe family was very complicated and heartless toward their own kin. As time went on, he did not expect that this family became more complex, like tangled threads that could no longer be untied.

"Where is Daniel now?"

"He is being treated in a mental hospital. It seems that losing the wife he loves makes him unable to withstand the pressures of life."

Vincent's eyes widened at that. He remembered what Cathy said last night.

'Do you know where my father is now? He's in a mental hospital.'

So it was Daniel who has slapped Cathy? The Daniel who made Cathy lose her color vision and made Cathy think she would end up just like her father?

Even though Cathy was not his real daughter, how could someone hurt his niece? Is this character a genetic trait from Paxton? Leonard also had the heart to poison his niece for months so viciously resulted in her death.

This was his reasoning why he wanted nothing to do with Paxton at all. Paxton's blood was contained with ambition, greed, and cruelty. They would do everything they could to achieve their goals... even if they have to kill their kin.

"Then what are your plans now?" Vincent was curious about what his cousin would do after finding out that Cathy is Chloe's daughter.

"I'm planning to send her overseas. That way, neither Martin nor James will ever see her and won't know Chloe ever gave birth to a child."

"Unfortunately... Today Martin has met her."

"What? How come?"

"No matter how far you send her, sooner or later Martin will find her. Shouldn't we think of another solution?"

Benjamin fell silent, thinking about something precariously. Meanwhile, Vincent recalled Chloe's previous warnings. The woman didn't want Benjamin to get involved, and she didn't wish Leonard or Martin to hurt Benjamin.

But Benjamin was not the helpless kid he used to be. He had his own power and insights on par with the members of the core LS team. And again... Vincent trusted Benjamin more than LS.

"Benjie, I have one thing to tell you. Have you ever heard of Alpha and Zero?"

Benjie tilted his head towards Vincent. "How did you know the name? Did they meet you? Where are they?"

"That means you've met them?"

"I've seen one of them. Why are you talking about them?"

"I'm planning to make them come out of their hiding."

Only Alpha and Zero were loyal to protect the heir to the throne of Paxton. It's just that, ever since Chloe killed Stealth, Chloe expelled the two of them, and until now, no one knows where they are.

Alpha and Zero each have extraordinary abilities more than the average human. Not even a member of the LS team could match their skill. Rumor has it that the two were descendants directly from Savannah Paxton. They were both trained to be invincible at Atlas's request to protect Davone and his successors.

Unfortunately, Alpha and Zero only require to act based on Stealth data. If Stealth did not activate, they would not move either. On the other hand, the two would protect the heir as well as his loved ones once the satellite was on.

Unlike the LS, who only to protect the heir and do not care about the people they love, the two independent figure care about everything the heir cherished.

Vincent knew that there were a lot of people that Cathy cared about. She has three younger sisters, Katleen Morse and the people who work at Red Rosemary. He didn't want Martin someday to use Cathy's sister to lure the girl into his trap.

It was highly impossible for LS to send its members to protect Cathy's younger siblings. They only focused on protecting Cathy and seek the key to reactivate the satellite. 

Once the satellite was activated, Alpha and Zero would unquestionably proceed to protect Cathy and her loved ones.

Benjamin knew what Vincent was planning without even asking. Alpha and Zero were quite a legend among the Paxton family. Just because no one had seen them before, they were both considered myths or rumors. In fact, Alpha and Zero had never shown themselves if it wasn't an emergency.

Benjamin himself just happened to meet one of them when he was about seven years old. At that time, he accidentally escaped from his nanny's sight and crossed the road alone. Little Benjamin didn't understand the traffic rules, and a truck sped toward him, almost hitting him to death. If no one had grabbed him and pulled him off the highway, he would have been killed by the truck.

The person who rescued him wore a red mask and told him not to walk across alone. As soon as they could see the little boy's nanny, the red masked man disappeared from his sight.

When Benjamin told Chloe about it, he found out that the person who saved him was Alpha.

It seemed that all this time, Alpha has been protecting and following Benjamin secretly. Chloe also said that there was another person named Zero wearing a black mask. But Benjamin has never met the person.

At first, Benjamin didn't understand why Alpha and Zero had to protect him behind the shadow. Nor did he know why he needed a bodyguard.

But over time, he could comprehend his real situation.
