"Sebastian Ford! I hate you to death! I hate you! I hate her! I hate everyone! I hate you b*stard! Don’t let me see you. If I see you, I must sever your head and put it i n front of her grave to mourn her! You son of a b*tch! How could you bear to let her be imprisoned for a decade? You jerk!"
Holden cursed plenty. His speech was incoherent. He hated everyone and he hated his biological mother. However, his words were clearly filled with a strong emotion of guilt for his biological mother. Was it the o r love? Perhaps he himself could not tell.
"You have a mother's love, and you also have a father's love. You have everything. The Ford family left everything for you to you, but what about me? I have n o mother's love, and I also have no father's love. I was fostered by someone else. I have nothing. Sebastian Ford, you son of a b*tch...Tell me, aren’t you a son of a b *tch?"
After listening to Holden's disorganized mumbles for s o long, Sebastian finally spoke up. "Holden, it's not what you think."
Holden spat at him. "Go to hell!"
Sebastian remained calm. "Before I had gone to Star Island, I didn't know about your existence. Mom was already diagnosed with cancer when she was in prison. Her days were numbered. At that time, even I
was being controlled by my elder brothers in the Ford family, let alone her. Both of us were hardly able to save ourselves. The reason Mom did not tell anybody that you were on Star Island was actually to protect you. She did not want all three of us, mother and sons, to die a violent death. Do you understand, Holden?"
When he said that, Sebastian was very heartbroken. A t that time, his position was not strong enough yet, so how would his mother dare to tell him that he still had a biological younger brother on Star Island? He brought his mother out of prison the moment he rose t o power, but his mother had only lived about two months. At that time, who understood his mother's concerns?
Instead of letting her youngest son live in South City i n the midst of the battles and unpredictable situations, it was better to let him stay on Star Island and carry Payne as his last name forever. At least his parents from the Payne family only did not like him, but they still raised him.
Holden roared ferociously. "I don't understand! Don't understand! Don't understand! I just know that I have died and I didn't even get to meet her!"
Up until this point, Holden had never even called out the word mother. His words were even filled with incomparable resentment. However, Sebastian could tell how regretful he was. He regretted not being able t o meet his biological mother.
Sebastian sighed. "Holden, come back. As long as you return, half of the Ford Group is yours." "Bullsh*t!" Holden scolded back in fury. "Do you think I will fall for your trick? I had long known how cruel and vicious you are! You asked me to return to South City and split the family fortune, but it's true that you will kill me once I return, won't you?" asked Holden miserably. "You had never once thought of me as your younger brother, right?"
"You are my younger brother. You’re Aino’s uncle. She misses you very much." Sebastian tried to use Aino to ease Holden's emotions.
Sure enough, Holden’s tone was suddenly much gentler. "Aino...doesn’t she...didn’t she say that she hated me?"
At that time, a child’s voice suddenly came from behind Sebastian. "Dad, who are you talking to on the phone?”
