The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1035

"'Cause of my adoptive father."

Josiah clenched his fists tightly.

"Abigail was my dad's first love. But Grant raped her, forced her to be with him, and my dad had to break up with her."

Rosalynn was shocked. Grant's actions were far worse than she had imagined.

Rosalynn remained silent, just listening to Josiah.

"At first, Abigail planned to leave Grant and run away with my dad. But then she got pregnant... Her parents found out, and in the end, she was forced to marry Grant. My dad was heartbroken. He moved to B City and never got over her. He never fell in love again. After a few years, he adopted me."

Josiah's hands were shaking as he gulped down a glass of water.

"Peyton's story is pretty much the same." Rosalynn frowned deeply.

"By the time my dad found out, half a month had passed, and Abigail had already been cremated. My dad and some of Abigail's relatives tried to seek justice many times, but to no avail." Josiah clenched his fists, "And then, one year, he told me that there was hope of catching Grant, but half a month later, my dad disappeared!!!"

Josiah's face contorted with anger, his veins pulsating visibly. He had followed his father's previous arrangements, diligently studying while waiting for him. However, everything changed five years ago when the police discovered a body in a renovated section of road. DNA testing confirmed that it was his father's remains.

Rosalynn furrowed her eyebrows, her expression filled with concern. "It had to be Grant," Josiah seethed angrily. "The year after I graduated from the research institute, I immediately returned. I confronted Grant and he confessed to killing my father right to my face!"

"And then you attacked him?" Rosalynn asked, seeking clarification.
