Chapter 1531 A Picture
With that, Sally turned her back on him and left.
Kyle’s heart started aching as he watched her figure storm away.
Sally didn’t mention whether her mother had actually accused Daddy as the culprit. Should I ask him about it?
Suddenly, someone pushed open his door while he was deep in thought. Juan rushed into the room, appearing agitated.
“Kyle, I found out that Steven did create a powerful bomb. As long as you activate a detonation chip, the place he wants to blow up will collapse and turn into a pile of rubble in the next second. Now we know why Skyler was so sure that we would burn to death. It seems like they’ve made preparations. Well, at least we should be glad that Uncle Davin brought our grandparents, Aunt Sheila, Joy, and Zayden to K Nation. If anything does happen to us, at least some of our family members will survive.”
When Juan finished talking, Kyle was still silently sitting in his office chair with a solemn expression on his face.
Juan asked in concern, “Kyle, what’s wrong? Are you scared of the explosives?”
There was still no response from Kyle.
Puzzled, Juan waved his hand in front of his brother. “Hey, I’m talking to you.”
That snapped Kyle out of his daze, and he looked up at Juan and stated, “I have a question for you.”
“Ask away.”
Wasting no time, Kyle went straight to the point. “There are rumors that Daddy defiled Sally’s mother years ago. Apparently, she’s confirmed that Daddy was the culprit. Do you believe it?”
Juan felt like he had lost his voice.
Would Daddy be capable of such things?
“I don’t believe it! He would not spare a glance at any other woman other than Mommy. On top of that, he would never touch another man’s wife! Sally is a cunning woman, and I guess her mother must be one too. She probably wanted to seduce Daddy, but the plan backfired on her, so she decided to pin the blame on him instead.”
Then, Juan paused. “However, if Daddy was drunk or drugged by others, he might have lost his senses, and in that situation, there is a possibility that it might happen. If that’s the case, he himself might not even remember what happened after that.”
Kyle was speechless.
Even if that’s true and Daddy cannot remember that horrific incident, he would surely remember hacking off Steven’s arm, right? Why would he deny it then?
“Kyle, we can’t make wild guesses about this because we might be wrong. Why don’t we ask Daddy about it? Maybe he could provide us with some clues to help with the situation.” Juan interrupted his thoughts.
“Will you ask him?”
Raising his brows, Juan scoffed, “We’ll both ask him. He’s our daddy, and we should both be present.”
“That could work.”
If we confront him, we could find out about the truth sooner.
“Wait, do you have a picture of Sally’s mother? If Daddy fooled around after having too much to drink and forgot about it, her picture could help him recall his memories. It might even trigger his mind to think of what had happened back then.”
Kyle thought Juan made sense.
Nodding his head, Kyle said, “I can ask Sally for it. However, she might be unwilling to give it to me. Now, she hates Daddy and is certain that he’s a monster. All she wants is revenge on him.”
Juan sighed. Initially, he thought she could help them stop a tragedy from unfolding or gather information from Steven. Unfortunately, Sally ended up on Steven’s side and became their enemy as well.
Then, an idea appeared in Juan’s head. “If we can’t ask Sally, why don’t we try asking Skyler? I’m sure his phone has a picture of her. I’ll try asking him.”
When Juan got to Skyler, the latter refused to give in to his request. Defiantly, Skyler spat, “What do you want to do with my mother’s picture? I won’t give it to you.”
“Are you sure about that?” Juan threatened. “You’re now in my hands, and it’s not up to you to decide that. If you refuse to hand it over, I’ll make you remember what it felt like being under the hammer. Did you enjoy it? Would you like to experience it again?”
