Chapter 1548 Tell Me What Happened
Davin couldn’t wrap his head around what Juan had said. Something seems to have happened when I wasn’t here.
“Can you tell me what actually happened in detail? Something’s happened in the past few days, hasn’t it?”
“Uncle Davin, we made another discovery.”
His nephew filled him in on the things that had happened patiently, and Davin was shocked after hearing it.
“Are you saying that someone pretended to be your dad and hurt the Maupay family?”
“Yes!” Kyle chimed in.
Davin was incredulous, but he recalled the incident from that day.
“The rise of the Maupay family and them going into hiding was only a short-lived effort. The bad rumors about your dad only started going around when they went into hiding. Back then, when your dad dominated Y City, most reporters dared not put their lives on the line to spread any rumors about him. Besides, everyone in the Maupay family had gone into hiding, so there was no way of proving the truth of those rumors. We would have to take responsibility if we were accused of defaming others. It was also why we’d hear about the rumors from time to time.
“I remember telling your dad that it was probably because Steven was unsuccessful at winning against Seet Group, and he knew that there was no way he could ever succeed, so he had come up with this nonsense and put on a show. I can’t believe that it’s actually true. This is a huge surprise. But here comes the question. Who on earth hates the Maupay family so much and would be gutsy enough to frame your dad like this?”
“We’re trying to figure out what you’re wondering too. We want to look for the people who know about what happened back then and ask them what enemies the Maupay family has. And we want to know who on earth hates Daddy so much that they pretended to be him.”
Someone who hates the Maupay family and your dad?
Smiling, Davin said, “There are lots of them. The rise of the Maupay family will affect many people. As for your dad, he’s a merciless person who is the most influential person in the business world. Naturally, he will also affect the profits of many. Even though these people didn’t dare to say anything, lots of them are desperate to see their downfall. That’s why the Maupay family and your dad share a lot of enemies.”
“Doesn’t that mean it’ll be hard to find out who it is based on what you said?”
“Not really. Steven’s the one who suffered severe losses here. He’ll probably find out more if he does. After all, there shouldn’t be many who would hate him to the point where they would rape his wife, cut off his arm, try to kill him, and even his family. He should know who’s really the one who hates him enough to do all this.”
Davin’s words made sense to Kyle, but he was worried that things would be difficult if Steven were to investigate the matter.
“Steven is convinced that Daddy was the one who did all the horrible things. He has been enduring everything all these years, all to watch the Seet family go up in flames. The hate he feels is already carved into his bones. It’s become his obsession and his sole reason for living. It won’t be easy if we tell him now that he has gotten it wrong all this time. It’s like letting him watch his goal of many years crumble before his eyes.”
Juan nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. A stubborn and self-righteous person like him would rather live in the mistake forever than admit that he’s wrong after all these years. How dumb of him to hate on the wrong person!”
Davin stayed silent as he stared at the siblings.
Steven obviously had had his own plans when he made a name for himself in Y City’s business world back then.
He had been obsessed enough to fight for the companies Seet Group wanted to collaborate with and had tried to take over Seet Group. It wouldn’t be easy for such an arrogant and narcissistic person to admit that he had been fooled by someone.
