However, Kingston didn't force Lydia to answer. He knew she would figure it out sooner or later.
The car suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Meanwhile, the driver was driving quietly.
They soon arrived at Carlson's place.
Carlson's residence was ablaze with lights, and he stood outside the door to welcome Kingston. Hence, it was obvious that Kingston had told Carlson about his arrival beforehand.
Just when the car was about to be parked, Lydia suddenly asked in a low voice, "Dad, why should we tell Master Mo? If we confess to Brenson first, wouldn't we have a better chance of winning?"
"Brenson is old, and Master Mo will take over his position soon. Can't you see it? Our family's incident is a test that Brenson had given to him. The sooner he takes care of the matter, the better it would be for him. After all, Brenson will be satisfied, and the country will support him. Obviously, I know what Diego has been doing this year. He has been trying to win over votes all these years as he's eyeing the position of Brenson, right? Urgh! He's so useless? Does he think he deserves this position?"
Kingston had finally told Lydia everything he knew, so she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that her father-in-law and Brenson knew about everything that they had done.
They were merely stepping stones so that Master Mo could take over the position of power. That was why they had been allowed to survive until today.
Ironically, Diego really thought that he was capable, so he had been proud of himself.
It turned out that this was a trap set by the Mo family from the very beginning!
Diego thought that he had schemed against Kolton and let him take all the blame. He felt that he could escape secretly and pave the way for himself. However, he didn't know that Brenson had known the truth all along. He was just using these events to train Carlson.
Sure enough, the relationship between Carlson and Nathaniel became closer along the way. Besides, Walter and Nathaniel were relatives, and both of them owned the Grey family's shipping route. By then, Nathaniel could provide Carlson with sufficient help through the shipping route he held. Hence, they could handle matters such as secretly shipping goods to overseas battlefields.
Besides, she doubted whether Thomas had really gone missing in the overseas battlefield.
As Lydia thought about everything, she was already breaking out in cold sweat.
Brenson was the slyest person of them all!
So why was she still struggling now?
What was she hesitating about?
Kingston was right. After all, Hattie was her daughter, and she had been doting on her for so many years. Since Hattie had done something wrong, she should take responsibility for it.
She owed her younger daughter, Haniya, too much, and she would have no chance to make up for it in her life. Right now, she would give it all in exchange for Haniya's happiness, so she was not afraid now!
Lydia suddenly understood what she had to do right now.
When Kingston saw her expression, he knew that she had figured things out.
He pushed the door open and got out of the car. At the same time, Lydia followed behind him.
When Carlson saw Kingston's arrival, Carlson quickly stepped forward and greeted him.
"Kingston, what's wrong with you coming over in the middle of the night? What happened..."
"It has nothing to do with anyone. I just want to see my granddaughter."
Carlson was surprised when he heard what Kingston had said.
"Huh? Your granddaughter?"
He was taken aback for a moment.
However, Lydia could not control her excitement and said, "Haniya, we're here to see Haniya."
