Chapter 1672 Secrets Of The Past
“Daddy, it seems that Lucas has already found out about the secret of the treasure! He definitely wants the treasure as well!” Skyler exclaimed.
“We still have the coffer we obtained from Evan. Since the key to the treasure is inside this box, there’s no way he can get the treasure without the key we have. In any case, we should use this time to figure out how to open this coffer and find where the treasure is.”
“Those who obtain the treasure will be invincible! Once we get the treasure, we’ll finally be able to step on Seet Group by their neck! I’ll pay Juan back tenfold for what he did to me with his hammer!” A spark of determination flashed across Skyler’s eyes.
As for Steven, his eyes darkened.
Sally walked into Ruby’s room and when she saw her mother staring at the sky with a blank look, her heart wrenched.
She sneaked to her mother’s side and accompanied her silently.
Moments later, Ruby turned to see her daughter. Her expression was unusually calm, just as how she had been before.
“You’re back?” she asked plainly and emotionlessly.
“Mhm. We’ve figured out what happened back in the day, Mommy! It was all Lucas’ doing! Don’t worry, I’ll avenge you!”
“Lucas?”
“Yeah! He’s Daddy’s half-brother, born to Grandpa’s concubine. After working together with someone else to betray Grandpa, he was kicked out of the family.”
There were finally emotions in Ruby’s darkened eyes.
Everything that had happened back then was flooding back into her mind.
She suddenly smiled with a hint of mockery. “So, it’s Lucas. This must truly be fate. It must be fate…”
Sally didn’t understand what her mother was saying, so she asked her to clarify.
Ruby remained silent for a while before speaking up again. “The cycle of cause and effect. Those who are pitiful have hatred in their hearts, and those who are hateful have pitiful moments in their lives…”
Sally furrowed her eyebrows. “Are you saying Lucas had pitiful moments, Mommy? Do you know something about what happened all those years ago? Does he actually have a reason for treating Daddy and the rest of the Maupay family the way he did?”
Ruby’s mocking smile became even more apparent as if she was ridiculing the drama and despair in life.
“I’m tired. You should go and do your things.” She turned and left.
The shadow of her figure, as if becoming its own entity, appeared to be out of place within the material world.
Sally went into deep thought. What exactly happened back then? What’s the secret behind all of this?
When she returned to her room, she called Kyle and mentioned the revenge but intentionally left out that Steven was the one who had ordered her to do so. She only told him that she wanted to take revenge because she felt bad for seeing her mother being depressed for so many years.
“I’ll handle it. Leave it to me.”
“You’re really willing to help me, Kyle?”
“You’re already willing to give me a child, so, of course, your matter is my matter. Besides, Lucas framed my father, and I’ll make sure he pays the price for that.”
“Thank you, Kyle.”
“When are you coming back? I’ll go and pick you up.”
She couldn’t tell him that her father would only let her return once the revenge was over, so she said, “How about you come and live in the underground hideout? Back in Imperial Garden, it’s too hard to get pregnant under Grandma’s watchful eye. We had to keep doing it in secret. If you come over here, there won’t be anyone watching.”
Kyle smirked. “You want to bear my child so badly?”
“Well, if I can’t deliver a baby, everyone will know that I’m lying.”
“Is that why you want a baby with me? So you won’t get exposed as a liar? Are you trying to use me?” he teased.
Lying was only part of the reason. Sally’s main goal was still to make sure she could stay with Kyle.
Her face turned red, and she intentionally rebutted, “That’s right. I do want to use you. But if I can’t, and you don’t want such a wonderful thing to happen to you, I can always find someone else.”
