Chapter 123

Sebastian said calmly, “She chose me over the money.”

“Well, she ain’t dumb, of course she’d pick you! You’re basically a walking ATM anyway. If she becomes the wife of Skyline Corporation’s president, she ain’t ever gonna worry about money!”

‘She’s genuine, you know.”

She was like a blank sheet of paper, but it’d been stained ever since he came into her life.

“What do

you

mean ‘genuine‘?”

“She never tries to flatter or suck up to me just because I’m the president of Skyline Corporation.”

“And why’s that?”

“Cause she’s mad I took advantage of her. She even cursed me for it.”

“Oh? What did she say?”

“Said I look all nice and gentlemanly on the outside, but I’m actually a cold–hearted bastard deep down. She’s got an amazing mom, you know. Even when she was sick, she still cared about her mother. She’s a real filial daughter, working dangerous jobs to make money for her mom’s medical treatment. Everything she does makes me wonder. If my own mom were still here, would I do the same for her?

“But, Grandpa, the day my dad died from anger was their wedding day. You lost one son and didn’t want to lose another – I get it, but I can’t accept it. I see my mom as having died on the same day as my dad”

The Ingram family’s scandals…scandals indeed! Sebastian’s words were dripping with sarcasm.

Jaxon looked utterly embarrassed and couldn’t meet Sebastian’s eyes.

After being silent for a while, he said softly, “I thought you didn’t see through it all…”

Sebastian sneered, “Only someone trying to deceive themselves wouldn’t see it.”

How could he mistake those eyes, which were identical to his own?

As a child, he often dreamed of those eyes watching over him, but when they met again, there was no warmth–only endless avoidance.

They thought he was too young and ignorant about everything, but he was too smart not to speak up.

Jaxon sighed, “Your uncle blackmailed us with his own death, claiming your mom was his first love. They were a couple, but got torn apart by family–arranged

marriage

“Why didn’t he say anything from the start?”

“They met while studying abroad. Never realized who it was that they loved. Your man was tricked into returning to her home country and was forced by her fami to marry. Your uncle searched for her everywhere but found her only when he returned home, by which time she was already his sister–in–law. My biggest regret in life was agreeing to this marriage!”

“I wanna know if my dad’s death had anything to do with them?”

Jaxon shook his head, “Your dad contracted tuberculosis due to fatigue, heavy burdens, and excessive smoking…Your uncle was the one who invited your mom to your dad’s place, and your dad agreed to it. Your dad talked to me afterward…I didn’t approve of it. It would’ve attracted too much attention! But your uncle begged me and threatened me with his life… So Sebastian, this whole thing ain’t anyone’s fault; it’s just fate playing tricks on us!”
