Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2558

I regained my spirit and leaned closer. "Tell me."

Sensing my urgency, Nibel winked and signaled me not to worry. He leaned against the sofa with an air of arrogance. "What kind of situation do you think will drive someone to suicide?"

His abrupt question made me feel as if my heart had plunged into the abyss, and my mother's desperate expression that night appeared in my mind.

She had rather died than lived. Why would she ditch her lover and her children if something had not happened to her?

I got a bad feeling and felt flustered.

Nibel looked at me with amusement in his eyes. "I heard Silas gave Thomas Grant access into his own daughter’s room the night before Millicent Yard died and—”

“Stop talking.”

My hands were clenched into fists as I shook faintly.

Thomas Grant was Theo's father. For him to have actually done such a thing…

Nibel let out a sneer. "They took great pains to force Millicent Yard into submission. Unfortunately, none of them expected that she would kill herself. In order to cover up the truth, the Grants and the Yards jointly obstructed the news and had this matter sink into the sea. Tsk tsk, how cruel of them."

They forced her to her death and then kept the news from leaking. If it were not for this investigation, no one would probably dare bring up this matter again.

I gritted my teeth, my heart filled with resentment toward them.

"Don't get angry. Calm down, President Lane." Nibel patted my shoulder as if to comfort me.

"Didn't you want to see me like this?" I moved away to avoid Nibel's hand.

He was not bothered, however. He just placed his arms on the sofa again. "Oh no. You’ve misunderstood me, President Lane. I just told you the truth out of kindness. I thought you had the right to know considering you're Millicent Yard's daughter."
