“Dad, I’m sorry…”
Shaun’s lips moved. He no longer hated Brennan.
He had suffered a lot when he was young, but Brennan did not fare any better too.
“No. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I’m a man, yet I couldn’t even protect my own son.”
Brennan shook his head. He was filled with remorse. “Luckily, after enduring it for four or five years, I secretly sneaked into Country Y. I changed my name there and found a new identity. I came back before and wanted to meet you. However, after knowing that you went to a boarding school to study, I didn’t want to disturb you. After that, I worked hard in Country Y, started a company, and established Garson Corporation. I heard you became the wealthiest man in Australia too. As your father, I wanted to expand my company further and let us, father and son, reunite. But I didn’t expect to hear about Lyons Corporation’s incident some time ago.”
“So… you were the one who bought the Lyons family’s manor?” Shaun asked.
“Mm.” Brennan suddenly frowned and snorted. “If i t weren’t to help you, I wouldn’t have bought the Lyons family’s manor at all.”
Shaun got the message. It seemed that Brennan still hated Lea a lot.
However, it was understandable. If it were him, he would hate Lea as well.
“Dad, why didn’t you recognize me as your son earlier? I even hit your car at Sherman Mountain, ” Shaun said as he laughed.
“I didn’t want to alarm anyone.”
Brennan smiled and said, “Moreover, I know Lyons Corporation has always wanted to collaborate with Garson Corporation. I’ve been waiting for you for a while now, and here you are after so many days.”
Shaun felt embarrassed. His life was a mess during those days, and he lost his fighting spirit. He was in no mood to think about work at all.
“It must’ve never crossed Mason’s mind that you’re the chairman of Garson Corporation. Charlie even thought of visiting you just now.” Shaun smiled playfully.
“Now isn’t the time to let Mason know yet.” Brennan shook his head. “Although I may not be strong enough to go against the Campos family, they have already joined hands with Landell Group.”
“I knew it.” Shaun sneered. “It was the Campos family who passed the microchip data to Landell Group.”
“That’s not the most important thing. There are a group of secret killers behind the Campos family,” Brennan said with a deep gaze. “Otherwise, how do you think Mason could mobilize so many people to hunt me down overseas more than 20 years ago?”
Shaun’s heart shuddered when he heard that.
“I’ve recently investigated all your matters, ” Brennan suddenly said. “That Wesley, he’s conspiring with the Campos family.”
“I’ve guessed as much.” Shaun frowned annoyedly. “I’m worried he’ll be the second Mason.”
Brennan looked toward Shaun and smiled. He stretched his hand again and patted his shoulders. ” Don’t worry. I’ve warned him before. He won’t lay a hand on Cate for the time being.”
Brennan explained, “I brought some men and gave Wesley a warning before. Wesley doesn’t know about my identity. He’s afraid I’ll take his life.
However, he has been going all-out on investigating my identity lately, so I reckon it can’t be hidden much longer. Shaun, you have to think of a way to deal with Cate as soon as possible.
Make her divorce Wesley quickly.”
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Shaun’s face. “I want to, but she trusts Wesley a lot.”
“You mustn’tlet Wesley be together withher.”
Brennan suddenly said with a solemn expression, “I suspect Wesley didn’t approach Cate only because he loves her. He has another ulterior motive.”
Shaun was confused. “What motive?”
If Wesley wanted to take advantage of the Yule family in the past, Joel had already left Yule Corporation. What other value did Cate still hold for Wesley?
Brenan returned to the sofa and sat down. He lit another cigarette.
Shaun looked toward him. Only when Shaun was getting impatient did Brennan speak again. “More than 1o years ago, I met a woman when I was at Neah Bay. The true lady owner of Neah Bay. She and Cate look very much alike.”
Shaun was astonished. At that moment, it was as if he had found out a secret. “You’re suspecting that person is Cate’s family?”
After a moment of silence, Shaun said, “I remember Cate’s mother was swept away by a typhoon when she went overseas. It was not long after Cate was born.”
“At first, I didn’t think too much of it either. That was until I came back and saw Cate’s picture because of the matters between you and her…”
Brennan took a long drag on the cigarette. “I can’t be wrong. More than 1o years ago, that woman was just 30 years old. She was as beautiful as a dangerous rose. She was so beautiful that I would never forget her in my life. Furthermore, she had a lot of legendary experiences too. She’s the owner of Soromon Island. She was the one who exploited the petroleum and iron mines of Soromon Island. After that, she got married to Titus Costner of Neah Bay. Titus is the true owner of Neah Bay, who controls the sea lanes all around the world. Not only that but the banks of the Costner family are also scattered all over the world.”
“Dad, I’ve heard of the Costner family before.” Shaun’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
He used to be Australia’s wealthiest man.
Therefore, he knew a lot more compared to ordinary people.
Although the name list of the world’s wealthiest people would be announced every year, it only touched the surface. The mysterious families, who were the real richest people, always kept a low profile. No media would dare to report their names.
The Costner family was such an existence.
Even the prominent Lyons family before was like an ant compared to the Costner family.
However, all he knew was just about the Costner family. It was his first time hearing the name Titus Costner.
“He’s the head of the Costner family.”
Brennan said, “The marriage of those two was one between giants. However, after their marriage, they kept an even lower profile. Currently, everything in the Costner family is managed by their son, Matthew Costner.”
Shaun did not know what to say. All he felt was a wave of helplessness.
Could Cate’s mother have a powerful background?
If she returned to her family, would it not be harder for him to woo her back?
When he recalled himself mocking Cate for taking advantage of his status, he was so ashamed that he felt like his face was slapped swollen.
“Dad, so you suspect Wesley knows about Cate’s mother’s identity?” Shaun suddenly asked.
“I tried him before. I never went into details, but his expression was very nervous as if I was spot on.”
Brennan said calmly, “Anyway, this person is a peculiar one. Does he love Cate that much? Does he love her so much that he can accept her without any hard feelings even though you snatched his bride away on their wedding day? He’s not a saint.”
“Exactly.”
Shaun had the same thoughts. “Moreover, Cate even gave birth to my children. It’s impossible that he doesn’t know.”
Furthermore, Wesley lost a kidney to save Cate in the past. After that, Shaun used despicable methods to threaten Cate, then she returned to his side again.
Although Cate was unwilling at first, she was willing to be together with him afterward. Did Wesley not mind at all?
Cate trusted Wesley because he always seemed to treat her well. However, Shaun was a man, and he did not trust Wesley.
“Dad, according to your words, this person is terrifying. He might have already found out about it a long time ago.”
Shaun said, “Should I tell Cate about this?”
Brennan shook his head. “Firstly, these are just my suspicions. There’s no evidence. Secondly, why didn’t Cate’s mother come back to look for her for the past 2o years? There are too many doubts. Moreover, do you think she’ll believe it?”
Shaun froze. That was true. If he told Cate that her mother was not dead but was also the owner of Soromon Island and Neah Bay, had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation, and was remarried and had other children, Cate would definitely think that he was a liar.
Brennan comforted him. “No matter what Wesley’s real purpose is, you can’t let him be with Cate anymore. First, if what I said earlier is true, the moment he gets to the Costner family, you’ll be the first person he gets rid of. Second, after he’s done with Cate, do you think she’ll have a good end? Think of your mom.”
“I’ve already thought about it.”
Shaun clenched his fists tightly. ” I’ll definitely get Cate back soon. I just want her to be safe and happy. Dad, I forgot to tell you. I just found out today that Cate gave me a pair of fraternal twins.”
“Really?” Brennan was stunned, but he smiled. ” That’s good. Bring them over to meet me someday.”
“There’s no problem with Suzie, but for my son… I don’t think he’ll acknowledge me now, but I’ll try m y best.”
Shaun smiled wryly. “Dad, do you… want to tell Mom about you?”
Brennan’s expression changed slightly. After a long time, he said faintly, “There’s no harm in telling her, but there’s no need to meet face to face. If I didn’t meet her back then, your grandmother wouldn’t have died so early.”
