When Aidyn slammed open the door of the Howell family, Hackett and Karan were eating at the dining table, and they were stunned when they saw Aidyn barging in. Karan was Aidyn's biological mother. Since they parted ways, they hardly ever saw each other. When Aidyn was young, Karan would occasionally sneak to A City to visit him. But after being discovered by Aidyn once, she never dared to do so again.
That time, Aidyn blamed her for being someone’s mistress, causing the death of his mother and making him bear the crime of illegitimate child. He called her a shameless woman and told her to not come to him again for the rest of his life.
Back then, Karan cried all the way home to B City. She never thought that being the other woman would earn her own son's resentment. She thought that marrying into a wealthy family and providing a good life for her child was the ultimate kindness, but she didn't expect her son to have such a strong sense of justice.
Even when Karan tried to use the Howell family inheritance to lure Aidyn into fighting Tyler, Aidyn didn't waver. He seemed terrified of any connection with the Howell family. Not only did he distance himself from the family, but he would rather be someone's lackey than admit he was a Howell.
Karan thought such a son was hard to handle. So, since then, she never saw Aidyn again, until Liana moved back to A City. She only heard about Aidyn through Liana. Even when Aidyn got married, she hid in her car, watching the bride and groom from a distance, not daring to approach.
Now seeing Aidyn suddenly returning to the Howell family, Karan was shocked, "Why are you back..."
Aidyn led a group of people, walked up to Karan step by step. He pulled a knife out of his boot and slammed it into the wooden dining table.
The knife stuck straight in front of Hackett, scaring him, "You bastard, what do you want to do?!"
Hackett didn't recognize Aidyn at first, it was only when Karan called him Aidyn that he remembered the child sent to A City.
Years ago, Hackett knew Aidyn had grown up and sent people to bring him home, but Aidyn refused. Aidyn publicly stated that the Howells were unjust, and he didn't want to return.
This infuriated Hackett. He not only stopped trying to bring Aidyn home, but also stripped him of his inheritance and never considered leaving him any property.
The reason why Hackett could be so heartless was that Karan gave birth to another son for him in her old age. This son was more obedient than Tyler, not as stubborn as Aidyn, and very smart. At a young age, he was already adept in the financial circle.
He pinned all his hopes on this third son, so he no longer cared about the first two. Whether they went mad or worked for others.
