“But I got pregnant at that time. I had a lover in the Zephyr Organization, and I was pregnant with his child. As for John, do you know what he was like at that time? He was even richer than before, and he became one of the top dogs in the country. He was living a privileged life, but what about me? At that time, I had a bold idea. I wanted true revenge, and not just to simply kill him! I wanted to take away everything from him, so I married him and gave birth to you."
Chris finally realized that he was indeed not John's son, and his real father was...
"Your real father is the man you saw that day. It is not convenient for him to show his face now, but when the time comes, I will arrange for you two to meet."
Helen stood up and gently stroked Chris’ cheek. "Chris, you're my only hope. Now that we don't have any more obstacles, let's live happily, okay?"
However, Chris shook off her hand. He didn’t know whether it was because he couldn't accept any of what he heard, but he looked at her with resentment. "Why? Why did you have to do this? That's murder, murder! You know that he was the one who raised me!"
Chris felt his heart aching so badly as he couldn't imagine that his own mother would be so ruthless to this extent.
"I'm calling the police! Mom, you should turn yourself in!"
"Fine, then go to the police! Go and call the police! Let the police come and arrest me! Let the police come and arrest me, the murderer!" Helen roared toward Chris.
Chris was completely stunned by her screams. Helen's chest kept heaving; she had been so strong all her life, so how could she have given birth to such a useless son?
"I, Helena Yule, have been so smart all my life and have never been willing to be shadowed by others. But I did not expect that my son, the son I raised for more than twenty years, would want to send me to prison! Haha..." She let out a terrifying laugh.
With a thud, Chris fell to his knees in front of her. "Mom, how could this be?”
He really could not accept any of this. John, the man he had so admired and revered all his life, was not his birth father, and the brother he so loved and respected was not his real brother. In fact, he carried with him from birth such a bloody feud between two families…
Chris had always thought he was born into a great family and could do whatever he wanted. After all, he was Young Master Chris of the Fowler Family, so even if he did not do anything, he could enjoy a wonderful life. According to his classmates, he was born with a silver spoon, and he didn’t have to lift a finger in his whole life. But now, everything was completely different, and his world had turned upside down.
Her heart aching, Helen embraced him. "Chris, I'm sorry. I know you may not be able to accept all this for a while. You are a pure and innocent child, but you are also all grown up now, so you should shoulder some of your responsibilities. Do you understand?"
"Mom…" Of course, Chris could not bear to send his mother to prison, since she had also lived a tragic life. When he thought of his mother coming home to the sight of her whole family being killed, he felt heartbroken for her too. After all, she was only ten years old at that time.
"Chris, since things have already turned out this way, we can only move on, and we can't go back." Helen held Chris’ face and wept bitterly.
As for Chris, other than crying, he could not manage to say anything.
The next day, Chris shut himself in the house, while Helen also indulged him in his every want. She knew that it would take time for him to accept all this.
When she opened the door to his room, he was still asleep. So, she did not bother to wake him and gently closed the door.
