Chapter 428 Staying Behind for Revenge
After listening to Gianna, he suddenly felt as if his heart was being submerged in a hot spring, and it
made the blood in his body feel warm and fuzzy. All this while, he had thought that his blood was made
of ice, except when it came to his father, Edward Nolan. He was obsessed with the thought of killing his
father. “These are the happiest and most fulfilling days that I’ve ever had. I’m sure it’s the same for
Brian too. Besides, it’s all due to your efforts that our relationship has improved to what it is today. In
the past, I never dared to dream of a day where I would have a wife and a child. There was nothing
else in my life except revenge.” Gianna felt her heart breaking for him. “Did you stay behind for the
sake of your revenge?” He nodded in response. “Yeah, I guess. It was also because of Brian. At the
time, I was only 15. I was still a student and didn’t know much about how to manage a company.
Moreover, Brian kept following me around all the time. Meanwhile, the entire high society shamed and
humiliated my mother. She could have returned to her family. My grandfather would not have said
anything, but my uncles would have treated her coldly. In the first place, my mother had been framed.
So, when her family refused to help her out and treated her coldly instead, there was no way she would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcontinue to remain there with all the anger she felt toward them. Additionally, Brian would occasionally
faint without warning. He would be in great danger every time it happened. It was potentially life-
threatening if rescue came just a bit slower. If my mother had to take care of both my brother and me
without any source of income whatsoever, how would she survive?”
Staring at him in disbelief, she asked, “You considered all that at the tender age of 15?!” He burst out
laughing. “People grow up quickly when they are faced with troubles. If I didn’t experience all that, I
don’t think I would have thought that far either. That night, I came home from school to see my mother
and another man tied up on the floor and covered in lash marks. Edward was sitting on the sofa with a
stern expression, yelling at my mother and asking for a divorce. Later, I learned that it was because my
mother and that man had been caught in an illicit relationship by my father himself. More than 10 years
ago, an unfaithful woman was not widely accepted by the public. Thus, high society was flooded with
all sorts of unbearable rumors that spread like wildfire, especially since my mother was a well-known
lady. You can never imagine what it feels like to be unable to clear one’s own name despite being set
up. During their divorce, Edward was preoccupied with how he could get away with paying less alimony
to my mother. However, all my mother wanted was Brian and me; she didn’t want anything else.
Afterward, I heard from my mother that she had been deceived by that man. He had tricked her into
going to the hotel. At the time, that man was a butler working
at the residence. Since he usually took good care of us, my mother didn’t suspect him at all.” To be
honest, she had heard this story from Brian before. Still, it wasn’t as in-depth and detailed as what Silas
was telling her right now. “Did your father set it all up?” “Yes. That butler later died and took the secret
of who he was working for at the time to his grave. I’m certain he was being blackmailed or threatened.
But, I can think of nobody else aside from Edward and Lara. After all, Edward had been thinking of
divorcing my mother and marrying Lara for a long time, but Grandpa opposed it. Besides, marriage
among the wealthy was not something that could be broken up without just reason. It’s not wrong to
say that it could lead to a domino effect. When Edward was unable to leave his marriage, he began to
abuse my mother in all sorts of ways. When I say abuse, I don’t mean physical abuse. Instead, it was
emotional abuse. He refused to go home. It might be an exaggeration to say that I never saw a glimpse
of him throughout my childhood, but I only saw him occasionally. On those occasions, he was either
having a screaming match with my mother or leaving the house after arguing with my mother! After
that, my mother would secretly cry all by herself. Of course, both Brian and I would be yelled at too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut, in comparison, he scolded me far less than he scolded Brian!” Gianna asked, “Why? Does your
father prefer girls?”
Silas sneered, “No, he simply hates the children my mother gave birth to! The first time, he slept with
my mother because he was drunk. Thus, I was conceived. For that reason, he married my mother.
Down the road, Edward got into a relationship with Lara and wanted a divorce. On the other hand,
Brian was conceived due to the stupidest mistake my mother made as her last-ditch effort to get back
her cheating husband. I don’t know who she got the idea from, but she drugged Edward and conceived
Brian as a result. After that incident, Edward hated my mother to the core! Because of Brian and I, their
marriage continued for more than ten years. During that time, he even threw Brian out of the house
once. In the end, my mother was framed as an unfaithful wife, and my father finally got the divorce he
wanted. Less than a month after his divorce, he openly married Lara.”
