Wiona was desperate to see what her biological father looked like.
What kind of charisma did he possess to make Luna, a cherished daughter of the Blue family who was doted on by all, fall for him so completely? She was willing to defy her family, defy her parents' wishes, and even risk her own life to bear his child...
What kind of man was he?
Ryan shook his head with regret. "I'm sorry, my mother took the photo with her."
"I considered it a source of shame, so I never thought to make a copy."
What?
Paige left the Blue family and took the picture with her?
Could she be any more ridiculous?
Wiona was naturally disappointed.
But there was nothing she could do if she couldn't see the photo. She had to press on. "Well... what else do you know about him?"
Ryan nodded. "I do know a few things."
"And I can tell you."
"But..."
"Wiona, I'm being selfish and despicable, but I want to ask for something in return."
As he spoke, Ryan looked into Wiona's eyes, his own filled with guilt.
Wiona wasn't surprised. She knew that if he was bringing this up, he would want something for himself.
And if she wasn't mistaken, he was about to plead for Paige.
"Go on, Ryan."
At this moment, with both siblings harboring their own secret motives, things felt a little more even.
Wiona's guilt subsided slightly.
Ryan said, "If, in the end, the evidence proves that my mother was the one who hurt our aunt... I don't care about the other Thompsons, but my mother... could you spare her life?"
"Just her life."
"I don't think your request is outrageous at all."
"She's your mother. It's only natural that you would want to protect her."
"Alright, I promise you. If the truth is inseparable from Paige, I will let her live."
After all, besides death, there were many other ways to make a person suffer in this world.
If Paige was alive, she could atone for her sins more effectively.
Receiving Wiona's promise, Ryan felt a lump form in his throat. He nodded, his eyes turning red.
Her word was enough.
He had done his duty as a son. What came next was the reckoning between the Blue family and the Thompson family.
For now, the heaviest weight had been lifted from Ryan's heart.
He pressed his lips together, then continued where he had left off. "Wiona, do you know why our grandparents were so vehemently against our aunt being with that man?"
"From what I've heard, our aunt was always the most obedient and sensible girl. Even though everyone in the family spoiled her, she never developed any arrogant or willful habits."
