Chapter 1640 An Impostor
Half an hour later, a feast was laid out on the table, and everyone was already seated.
Meanwhile, the two foodies, Joy and Zayden, kept staring at their favorite food with their rolling eyes.
“Zayden, come and sit beside me! I’ll pick any food you want for you.”
Unexpectedly, Zayden turned around and said insistently, “No! I want Uncle Evan to pick the food for me!”
“Have you looked at everyone at the table? Uncle Evan looks the fiercest! Why do you want him?” Davin glanced at his beloved son curiously.
“Didn’t you say I ought to learn from Kyle? Besides, Kyle has inherited Uncle Evan’s good qualities. In that case, I can learn from Uncle Evan straight away instead of learning from a middle man. Who knows if I’ll become the next Kyle soon?” Zayden rebutted in a childish voice.
Juan interrupted jokingly, “Uncle Davin, Zayden has learned to be eloquent from you.”
“Of course, my son has inherited my good qualities.” Davin felt proud upon hearing it from Juan.
“I’ve also inherited all of Mommy and Daddy’s good qualities. Hence, I want to become a superstar when I’ve grown up!” Joy blinked her eyes excitedly.
“Well, you’re pretty and smart. I support you to chase your dream, for I believe you will be a well-known superstar in the future,” Davin replied.
“I support you too!” Juan added.
“Feel free to do what you like. I’ll support you too.” Kyle chimed in.
“I support you as well,” Sally said.
With that, they lifted their glasses to propose a toast. At that moment, Sophia looked at Sally and said, “Sally, you can’t drink because you’re pregnant.”
Sally only remembered that she was supposed to be pregnant upon hearing it. As such, she put down her glass immediately and changed it to a glass of milk. “I was too excited just now. Anyway, allow me to use milk to replace beer.”
“You have to remember it, or else your baby might get affected.”
“Alright, Grandma. I won’t do it again next time.”
“Kyle, you have to remember it and remind her often.”
“I know it, Grandma. Don’t worry.”
After that, they proposed a toast and gulped down their drinks.
Sophia recalled what Sheila said about the Zieglers back then. Since Kyle and Sally seemed careless, Sophia thought she had to take some preventive measures.
Meanwhile, Evan glanced at Juan and asked about Riley.
“Daddy, we’ve figured out who Riley is. He is not the real Riley!” said Juan.
“The real Riley was killed by the impostor as soon as he returned. After that, Riley’s father, Ulric, was severely ill and passed away overseas. Also, Ulric’s illness was related to the impostor.”
Evan’s expression turned grim upon hearing it. “In that case, who is the impostor? What does he have to do with Steven?”
“Well, the impostor isn’t an outsider. Instead, he is Steven’s half-brother, given birth by the mistress of Steven’s father.”
Juan continued to explain. “His real name is Lucas. He lived with the Maupay family until he was ten years old. After that, his mother had an affair and was caught red-handed by Steven’s father. Hence, he and his mother were driven out.”
He then paused for a while to let Evan process the information before continuing. “After that, he was informed that Steven’s mother framed her mother for it. As such, he held a deep grudge against Steven’s mother and always wished to take revenge against her.”
Evan quietly listened as Juan continued. “However, God didn’t offer him the chance. He was only thirteen when Steven’s mother passed away. Although his enemy was gone, his hatred kept growing day by day. After all, her mother had depression and eventually passed away after they were driven out. Hence, he decided to punish Steven to avenge his mother!”
Then, Juan continued, “He planted some spies around Steven to wait for an opportunity. Finally, he heard that Riley, who lived abroad, wished to come back and develop his career. Also, Steven replied to Riley’s letter, saying that he wanted Riley to help him. Therefore, he thought of the plan to replace Riley with himself.”
“It looks like Lucas sure is a sly one! However, why did he want to impersonate your dad?”
