Chapter 125

Author: Ninth Cup
Winter’s lips moved, but it took a second for sound to come out. Her eyes were unfocused. “I need to… go to Westbury.”

Westbury.

Zac remembered. It was her childhood home.

But she was in no condition to be running anywhere. He knew she needed rest after the shock, so he didn’t agree. He carried her to his car instead, eased her into the passenger seat, and buckled her in.

He was about to straighten up and close the door when she grabbed his sleeve with surprising strength.

As he looked down

    There was also the divorce agreement between Warren and Audrey.Back when the Scott family went bankrupt, their house in Westbury was seized. Not everything inside had been cleared out, and Chris had found an old computer there.After recovering the data, he found the divorce agreement and printed it out.That meant the agreement had already been drawn up before the family moved out of Westbury.Winter had never seen what was in it.Chris had.Under the agreement, Warren would keep all of the property.Audrey wanted only Winter.That made it very likely that Audrey had been the one who asked for the divorce.“Still no sign of George?” Chris asked as he set the stack of files down.George had been the Scott family’s butler.After the family went bankrupt, Warren had let him go. At first, George had refused to leave. He stayed with Warren, Audrey, and Winter, even moving into a cramped rental apartment with them.But one day, he suddenly left Liono City.Winter had still bee

    If Warren really was still somewhere in Liono City, then how had he managed to stay hidden for more than a decade?And what about the two bodies they had found all those years ago?Unfortunately, Chris had no way to obtain usable DNA samples from Warren or his wife, Audrey Lambert.They had found strands of hair in the house at Westbury, but the samples had not been preserved properly. The follicles were too damaged to extract any usable DNA.The ashes Chris had secretly switched out were no help either.That was right.The two urns Winter had scattered into the ocean had never contained her parents’ ashes.Chris had arranged for them to be replaced with another powder beforehand.But right now, everything was still only a theory.Until Chris was absolutely certain, he would not allow things to reach a point that could never be undone.He knew how strong-willed Winter was. He had considered the possibility that she might eventually decide to let go of her parents’ ashes.Eve

    Gavin hung up the phone and said to Chris, “Dominic wants me to go to the biomedical research institute and pick up Richie.”Chris kept flipping through the documents in his hands.Julian was temporarily holding things down at the company, but there were still some matters Chris had to review himself. Turning himself in was one thing. He still had the Xander family business to protect.Not long after Mr. Simmons Sr. left, his secretary had already sent over a stack of files.Without looking up, Chris said, “Go get him.”If Dominic didn’t even have time to bring Richie back to Blackwood Manor himself, then he had probably gotten into another serious fight with Lily.Chris and Dominic were equally hopeless when it came to relationships, so Chris had no advice to give him.If anything, Dominic was even more unhinged.Once he made up his mind about something, no one could talk him out of it.For years, he had been determined to have Lily, even going so far as to break up her relat

    Richie waited for a moment, but there was still no sign of Dominic outside the door.Suddenly, he tossed aside his teether and crawled quickly to the other end of the couch. Gripping the armrest with both hands, he tilted his little head and peered toward the doorway.“Nic. Uncle.”He stared for a while, but Dominic still didn’t come back.Richie pushed himself upright with both hands, then plopped back down on the couch. His little mouth turned down, and his chubby face scrunched up in distress.“Wah…”The instant that first whimper escaped him, panic flashed across Lily’s face.She quickly crouched in front of the couch, her brows drawn together.“Don’t cry.”Richie didn’t listen to her at all.He sucked in a deep breath.Richie was seconds away from bursting into tears. Lily panicked and she hadn’t comforted a child since Dominic was little. She had no idea what to do so she did the first thing that came to mind.She reached out and gently poked one chubby cheek with h

    Dominic lowered his eyes and studied Lily’s increasingly cold expression as he held her tightly against him.God, he loved that look on her.He wanted to kiss her, but with Richie right there, he held back.It wasn’t because he was afraid Chris would beat him up. Dominic might have had questionable morals when it came to Lily, but he still had at least that much decency.He glanced back at Richie, who was sitting on the couch with his short little legs tucked under him.Richie clutched his teether and called out in his soft baby voice, “Nic. Hug.”Lily suddenly stopped struggling.Nic.A distant memory surfaced from somewhere deep inside her mind.When Dominic was still in diapers, he had cried and begged his parents to give him an older sister.Naturally, they couldn’t simply produce one for him, so they had chosen Lily from an orphanage and brought her into the Lynch family.On Lily’s very first night there, Dominic had hugged his little pillow and made a fuss because he w

    Dominic pulled into the parking lot of the biomedical research institute.Every year, he donated a substantial amount of money to fund its research, and the Lynch family was one of the biggest names in the country’s biotech industry.Between his family’s money and influence, Dominic could come and go from the institute like he owned the place.After parking, he opened the back door and unbuckled Richie from his car seat.“Come on. Uncle Dominic is taking you to meet a beautiful lady.”Richie’s big, round eyes darted around curiously, taking in everything outside.He had no idea what Dominic meant by “beautiful lady,” nor did he particularly care. He simply gnawed on his teether and looked around at everything with wide-eyed fascination.Dominic lifted the little boy into his arms and casually swung the car door shut.As usual, he didn’t bother locking it.It wasn’t long before word reached Lily that Dominic had shown up at the institute with a baby.The lab door opened, and a
