Sam's footsteps paused, and he looked back at Maddox in confusion.
"Mr. Yardley?"
Maddox stared at him with those piercing eyes of his.
"Did I ask you to look into it?"
Sam shook his head.
"Then why are you making your own decision?"
Why was he so nervous about it since Maddox didn't ask him to do so? Sam coughed lightly and felt very shocked, "Sir, I was right, wasn't I? Did Young Madam have a son with you, and he looked identical to you? That's why you're having a hard time figuring out what present to buy for that little guy?"
Maddox ignored him, but it was a yes in Sam's eyes. He sighed and felt that something was off. He whispered to himself, "No, how could Minerva give birth to a child who looks exactly like Maddox? He hasn't seen her for the past five years and she was already one month pregnant when she entered the Yardley family. Then what happened before? Young Master Yardley wasn't married to her before that. How..."
The more he thought about it, the more uncertain Sam felt.
What in the world was going on?
"Minerva gave birth to Maddox's son? When did she give birth to him?"
After thinking for a long time, Sam could not figure it out.
A mocking smile appeared on Maddox's lips when he heard that.
"Yeah, never did I expect for her to fool me for such a long time."
Sam touched his head, Sir, why... I don't think my mind is keeping up. What the hell is going on?"
"Back then, I asked you to investigate a lady. You couldn't find anything, right?"
Maddox's sudden change of topic confused Sam even more. However, he had no choice but to reply, "Strangely, we couldn't find her. She was just a woman. We should have found her given how many resources we used. But... That woman seemed to have vanished into thin air. We couldn't find her, no matter how hard we tried..."
Speaking of this, Sam suddenly paused and he looked at Maddox.
"Sir, was the person you were looking for... Young Madam?"
At this point, Sam was certain that it was needless for him to continue asking to be sure of the truth.
He widened his eyes and couldn't believe it.
Back then, he spent a ton of effort and resources when Maddox asked him to find this lady. But, look what happened in the end?
That person was right under Maddox's nose. However, they didn't know about this and spent so much effort searching for her. Who would have known that all this while, she was right in their house?
"No wonder..." Sam touched his head and began muttering to himself again.
"Does that mean that the reason why I couldn't find this person after searching high and low was because she had been by Maddox's side the entire time?" He thought.
But they overlooked it, or they didn't even expect this.
Another thought flashed through Sam's mind, "Back then... Maddox wanted to get rid of Minerva's child. That means..."
At this point, Sam felt that something was off with the atmosphere around him, so he kept quiet and dared not say anything.
He was taken aback when he thought about this. Back then, Maddox suddenly felt sorry for her so he decided to let her keep the baby.
Otherwise, he would probably have murdered his own child.
Thinking about this, beads of sweat ran down his forehead.
"Sir, does this mean that Young Madam suffered a lot all these years?"
"Suffer?" Maddox was dumbfounded. What Sam said shook him.
