My Supermodel Wife
Chapter 996 - The Illusion Of The Haunted Past
Chris raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then sneered. "That woman clearly wants to take Merry away and give Jade a kidney. If she really regretted her past, she would never leave Merry at the orphanage's door!"
"No, she won't have that chance!" Jean lifted his thin lips and said with certainty.
At this point of the conversation, Chris had no intention of staying long. Before leaving, he asked a final question. "Jean, you are supposed to have a secret information network, how did my father find out the truth about Emma?"
If it weren't for his father reminding him today, he probably wouldn't have come to Villa Lakeside and that the information he received had been sabotaged.
At this time, the man stood up slowly. He glanced towards the stairs of the second floor and then smiled, "Your father has indeed lived on the mountain in seclusion for many years, but do you think he really neglected his affairs in this world?"
Chris laughed. "So… that old man's abilities are no worse than yours!"
Jean pursed his lips pretentiously. "In front of your father, I really need to lower my head!"
After those words were finished, the smile on the corner of Chris' mouth narrowed slightly.
Is he too dense to understand his father?!
When Chris walked into the hallway and was about to leave, the man behind him said inexplicably, "Tomorrow morning… take some time to go to the Hiroshi family's house."
Chris glanced back in confusion. "What would you do?"
"You'll see tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I'll be going then!"
Chris pursed his lips helplessly, turned and stepped into the moonlight.
When the door closed again, the man turned around with a smile, looked up at the stairs, and spoke excitedly, "Eavesdropping for so long… Are you not tired?"
A few seconds later, Lilia walked out of the corner leisurely. She smiled and replied, "This isn't eavesdropping, I was just passing by!"
"Come here!"
The man opened his arms to her and smiled, his eyes filled with pleasure.
Lilia slowly stepped aside and glanced down the hall. "Is Chris gone?"
"Yes, is Lian sleeping?"
Lilia led him to the sofa and nodded. "I wanted to greet them when I woke up earlier, but when I heard you were discussing a serious matter, I didn't dare to come out!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes flashed, then she looked at the man to the side and asked suspiciously, "Jean, how should I put it… I feel that… this matter with Brother Samuel… Why do I feel that you are just a spectator?"
The man smiled while holding his fingertips, asking, "Why is that?"
Lilia said seriously, "It's just that I have such feelings, but indeed Brother Samuel didn't handle things properly this time."
"Actually, it's not a matter of meddling or not, we should let Samuel make his own choices!" The man looked at Lilia, frankly speaking his mind.
Hearing this, Lilia pulled the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but agree. "That's right! Outsiders really can't help with this kind of thing. Like you said, if Brother Samuel himself is quite aware, such fake news shouldn't fool his eyes."
That night, Lilia and Jean chatted in the living room before returning to the bedroom to sleep.
It seemed that everyone could see the truth, but Samuel was blinded by the illusion of the past that it seemed it would take a while before he realized the truth.
...
At six o'clock the next morning, Samuel returned to his house.
He didn't come back all night. After stepping into the main house, he threw his coat on the sofa, and when he pulled his hand away, he caught the cufflink on his wrist, and a trace of guilt came from his heart.
He didn't come back last night, the man accompanied Emma to watch the sunrise in Malang city.
Even though nothing happened to them, this kind of togetherness reminded him a little of when he was in love.
At this time, Samuel stopped in the living room, rubbing his cufflinks sadly.
Not long after, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned and walked back into the master's bedroom.
At nine in the morning, the butler continued to wander around the main house.
His master hasn't come out of his room yet, why did he wake up so late today?!
Currently, Merry has gone to the company.
And Anna also ran to find her sister.
In the deserted Hiroshi family's home, except for the passing maids, it was completely quiet.
With the document sealed in his hand, the butler walked in circles again in the living room.
Just as he was thinking about finding something else to do, he happened to hear footsteps upstairs.
The butler quickly walked up the stairs, raised his eyes and greeted with a smile. "Master, you are awake!"
Samuel was still rubbing his sore forehead as he descended.
Since he was getting old, after staying up all night, it was inevitable that his head would become sore.
He didn't see the document in the servant's hand, he walked straight into the kitchen as he descended the stairs.
Upon seeing this, the butler called out to him from behind. "Master, this is the document you wanted!"
Samuel stopped and looked back in surprise. "What document?"
The butler handed it over and explained, "When Madam was about to leave, she asked me to hand it over to you today. She specifically asked me to say that this is a very important document. Don't you… remember?"
At this moment, Samuel looked down at the given document and took it suspiciously. "She asked you to give it to me?"
"Yes, Madam told me to give it to you today!" The butler explained patiently with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
What's the matter with the master recently?!
He is always in a daze!
If this document was not important, the madam would not have told him to pass it with such a serious look!
At this moment, Samuel did not pay attention to the other party's expression. He took the document and carried it as he walked and asked, "Did she say when she would be back?"
The butler walked behind him and shook his head in response. "No, or… should I call her and ask?"
Samuel threw the brown folder away after taking the documents inside, then looked back at the other party and rejected his offer. "Forget it, don't bother, let her relax outside."
"Yes sir, I will prepare your breakfast!"
"Yes."
After the waiter left, Samuel pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table. Previously, he was holding a coffee cup in one hand and a file in the other.
In a second, the coffee cup in his hand suddenly fell.
Hot coffee spilled on his trousers, the cup hit the edge of the table, then rolled onto the ground, immediately making a loud cracking sound.
The butler and the maids outside the kitchen rushed back when they heard the sound. They stopped at the kitchen door, saw Samuel's stiff back and asked. "Sir, are you alright?"
But no one answered.
Samuel was silent, and the servant didn't dare step forward to clean.
They stood by the butler, looking at each other in bewilderment.
At this time, Samuel's gaze fell on the title of the paper he was holding.
Divorce Agreement.
What was written on the paper was not an illusion…
"No, she won't have that chance!" Jean lifted his thin lips and said with certainty.
At this point of the conversation, Chris had no intention of staying long. Before leaving, he asked a final question. "Jean, you are supposed to have a secret information network, how did my father find out the truth about Emma?"
