After Elle left, Shaun opened the door and walked out soullessly. He was just in time to see Lea come back from outside.
“Why are you back so late?” Shaun asked casually.
“I went to see Willie. His condition hasn’t improved at all. Your uncle and aunt are depressed. Willie is their everything,” Lea said guiltily, “It’s all my fault.”
Shaun had gotten used to her complaints lately, but today, he thought about Liam and could not help but ask, “Mom, do you remember how you got pregnant with Liam?”
At the mention of that, Lea’s face suddenly turned red and then white. “Why are you bringing that up? I was blind back then. I must’ve been possessed. “
“I remember… you got pregnant with Liam before you got married, ” Shaun suddenly said.
“I don’t want to mention the past.” Lea felt humiliated and disgraced.
“Mom, I just want to find out if Liam is really Mason’s son.” Shaun could not figure it out. If Yael colluded with the Campos family, she might have been in the know when he asked Chance to throw Liam out. Logically, Yael should have helped Liam instead. Why did Liam disappear instead?
“What are you talking about?” Lea was dumbfounded and flushed in embarrassment. “Who could it be if not Mason’s? Liam also asked the same question before, but this is a fact that can’t be erased. “
“Liam also asked this before?” Shaun was surprised.
“Yeah, when we acknowledged Suzie, Mason gave her a pitiful amount of money. He gave her less than what he gave his nieces. Liam was very uncomfortable and said that Mason had never cared much about him since childhood.” Lea felt worse the more she spoke, and she missed Liam even more.
Shaun raised his brows. “Then didn’t you find it strange? Is Mason neglecting his own child just because he doesn’t like you? Could he be so heartless? Even tigers don’t eat their own children.”
Lea’s eyes flashed with deep chagrin and sorrow. “I don’t know what’s going on either. From start to end, I was completely used by him. But Liam is still his son.”
“That’s why… I’m asking you to remember what happened that night. Are you sure it was Mason? Have you ever thought that maybe he resented you at that time and found another man to replace him…”
Shaun’s words were harsh and piercing. Lea’s face turned pale.
“That’s enough. Your mom isn’t that stupid… ” As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something and her body shook. “That night, I drank a lot of wine so I don’t remember much. But Mason was beside me when I woke up the next day Just as she spoke, she had a bad feeling. “Do you think I was deceived by Mason?”
“There’s something I haven’t told you yet. I found out that Yael might be colluding with Mason. Yael is Chance’s woman and is pregnant with his child. I suspect that Chance is protecting Yael. It’s very likely that Yael informed the Campos family the day I told Chance to throw Liam out, and the Campos family… got rid of Liam.”
After Shaun finished explaining his cruel speculation, he closed his eyes.
This was a bolt from the blue for Lea. Although Liam had been missing for a long time, she was still hopeful as no body had been found yet. “No, that’s impossible. Why would Mason kill Liam? Liam is his son.”
“That’s the reason why I suspect that Liam might not be Mason’s son. When Lyons Corporation’s data was leaked, I was taken away by the police and just so happened to see Mason bailing Liam out when I came out. At that time, I became even more suspicious that Liam was the spy. Everything pointed to Liam, making us disappointed in him and hate him. But what if it was a plot set up by Mason?” Shaun said thoughtfully.
“What does that mean?” Lea was slightly lost. Of course, it might be because she was unwilling to believe it.
“Coincidentally, Mason met up with Liam in a cafe and just so happened to be seen by the shareholders of the company. They’re father and son. What couldn’t be discussed at home? Why did they have to discuss it outside?”
Lea was horrified. “You’re saying that the meeting was planned by the Campos family on purpose?
They deliberately wanted Lyons Corporation’s shareholders to suspect Liam?”
Shaun nodded. “After Lyons Corporation’s microchip data was stolen, the first person we suspected was Liam. Liam didn’t listen to Mason, so he became a victim. I was the last person to see him before he disappeared, so everyone thought that I killed him. I’m still dealing with that lawsuit.”
Lea stumbled back a few steps, completely unable to accept this reality. “How… How did it come to this She broke down and cried out, “Could it be that it really wasn’t Mason that night? If Liam isn’t his child, then who is his father?” “That’s just my guess.” Shaun frowned. “I was young at that time, but I heard from Aunty that the Lyons family only agreed to let you marry Mason because you were pregnant.”
“Yes. ” Lea nodded blankly. “That year, I had just divorced your father and didn’t want to remarry so quickly. I fought with your father that day and drank some wine. I ended up with Mason.”
Shaun raised his brows at her lost expression. As a son, the only thing he could do was sigh helplessly. ” Is there a possibility that the person might have been my dad?”
Lea was so shocked by his words that she stammered, “That’s… That’s impossible.”
“I’m just saying. You don’t have to think too much into it. I have something to do, so I’m going out. I’ll leave Suzie and Lucas to you tonight.”
Shaun spoke and left the dumbfounded Lea behind.
He quickly drove to the villa that Brennan recently bought in the capital. Although Lyons Manor was Brennan’s now, it was too high profile. Brennan was not living there for the time being.
“It’s so late, why did you suddenly come over?” Brennan was dressed in a robe and had just about gotten ready to sleep when he heard that Shaun was coming. Hence, he came downstairs again.
“I read the news today. Garson Corporation and Campos Corporation intend to cooperate,” Shaun said gravely.
“Yeah.”
Brennan nodded. “But I didn’t show up. I let the company’s GM contact Charlie Campos. Although the Campos family is the top family in the country, their brand isn’t very good. The microchip was licensed to them by Landell, but the fact is they only earn a margin in profit. The Campos family has no tech in this field and logistics is monopolized by Yule Corporation, which is why they really want to introduce Garson’s technology so they can develop products. We’ve reached a preliminary agreement where the Campos family will invest 3oo billion to establish an industrial park for this project.”
Shaun quickly understood, and his eyes lit up. “But you already signed that technology to me long ago, so Lyons Corporation got invested first. When our product is released before Campos Corporation’s, the Campos family’s 300 billion will have been squandered on a bad investment.”
“Yes, this is a trap I dug for the Campos family. ” Brennan smiled. “But if you do that, Garson will be violating the contract. The Campos family can sue Garson Corporation for fraud,” Shaun said with difficulty.
“That’s why the contract you signed was never with Garson Corporation in the first place but with another company. Although it’s not under my name, it’s controlled by me. That company licensed you the top technology, while Garson licensed Campos Corporation the secondary technology.”
Shaun was struck by a realization and admired his father’s far planning. “Then I’ll seize the opportunity to develop it first and give the Campos family a surprise.”
“This matter can’t be leaked out, so you should keep a low profile for now. It’s fine if you pretend to be in dire straits and get bullied by others. It’s important for people to learn how to hold back.” Brennan suddenly said faintly, “Even if you want to teach Wesley a lesson, you have to endure it first.”
Shaun’s handsome face reddened. He did not expect Brennan to know that he wanted to get someone to teach Wesley a lesson. “Dad…”
Brennan said meaningfully, “Shaun, it’s not the time to expose yourself now. The more they look down on you, the more they’ll underestimate you. This is when you secretly take advantage of the situation to rise up. An oppressed person will not arouse suspicion.”
“I understand, Dad.” Shaun sighed inwardly. He thought he was very smart, but compared to Brennan, he was still too inexperienced.
“As expected of my son. When you rise again, the time will come for us father and son to take revenge. ” Brennan’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Shaun’s lips moved slightly. “Dad, I want to ask you a question. 20 years ago, after you divorced Mom, did you two ever… sleep together again?”
Brennan was startled. After a moment, his eyes flashed with annoyance. “Why are you asking that? It’s been so many years that I’ve already forgotten. Just the thought of Lea makes me nauseous.”
” Is it because of Mason and her?” Shaun could not help but ask.
“What else could it be? No man can stand something like that. I don’t care what history she had with Mason. She should’ve at least kept a distance from him for the sake of her child after getting married, but what did she do instead? She neglected you and went out with Mason every day. “
Even though it was so long ago, Brennan’s veins still popped out in anger at the mention of it. ” Afterward, she wanted to divorce me because I beat up Mason. We fought several times and I was disheartened, so I left.”
“Dad, I’m not asking about your history with Mom. I’m asking if you’ve ever slept with her after the divorce,” Shaun said very seriously, “It’s really important. Maybe my mom got drunk or something A touch of embarrassment flashed across Brennan’s handsome face. “There was that one time. I had a big fight with Lea and said many harsh words.
Afterward, I felt that I had been quite hurtful and went back to find her. She was drunk, and… Ahem. It’s all in the past. Don’t mention it again.”
He did not know that his words had caused great waves in Shaun’s heart.
Lea said that she had been drunk at that time. Could it be that she was so drunk that she failed to recognize who the man really was?
In other words, Liam was most likely his full brother?
His body trembled violently as his face went white.
“What’s wrong with you?” Brennan became uneasy.
“Dad, did you leave right after sleeping?” Shaun asked shakily.
“Of course I did. If I had waited for her to wake up, I would’ve definitely gotten scolded for trying to use a lady like her to climb up the social ladder. People would say I’m aiming for a woman out of my league.”
Brennan scoffed coldly. “But I didn’t expect her to be so loose. She slept with Mason right after sleeping with me. I heard that she was one month pregnant not long after.”
“Dad, you got it all wrong.”
Shaun muttered, “Mom was never pregnant with Mason’s child. The baby was yours. After you left that day, Mason went into the bedroom, so Mom thought she had slept with him. Then, she married Mason because she was pregnant. She said that she didn’t want to marry Mason so soon either, but it was only because she had Liam.”
Brennan was stupefied.
Even though he had experienced countless storms before, he was still at a loss. “That’s… That’s impossible.”
“Dad, it’s absolutely true. I asked mom before I came. She was also confused.”
Shaun’s eyes reddened in pain. “That’s why Mason never once cared about Liam since he was a child. It’s because he knew Liam wasn’t his son. He used Liam and turned Liam and me against each other, making us destroy each other. Liam’s death must have been caused by Mason.”
The more he thought about it, the more pain he felt. He covered his eyes and could not accept this reality. “I was too stupid. I got my own brother killed. If I had been calmer and didn’t beat Liam up that day, if I hadn’t told Chance to throw him out, he wouldn’t have gone missing.”
