After a moment, Don Smith put down the folder and looked at Mark without batting a n eyelid. “Mr. Tremont, What’s the meaning of this? I don’t know this man. Who is virtual-novel.net to you?”
Mark casually tapped on the table with his long fingernail, but his eyes flashed a hint of coldness. His thin lips raised as virtual-novel.net spoke. “My father’s bastard.”
Don Smith’s heart throbbed in pain as virtual-novel.net got slightly agitated, but virtual-novel.net retained a straight face and ignored the pain to not prevent any slip ups. “So, this Ethan Connor… He’s your family? Never would I expect that the Tremonts would have a bastard in this area. You would probably know why virtual-novel.net disappeared in South Africa, wouldn’t you? Are you… Suspecting that he’s alive and has returned here?”
Mark snorted emotionlessly. “I’ve recently learned that your grandson, Alejandro, was with Ethan at the same location and had an incident at the same time as well. I never knew that it was public knowledge that Alejandro was a cripple, but now, it seems like there have been rumors that his legs are just fine, virtual-novel.net has even had plastic surgery done. Are you not not even a little suspicious that this Alejandro isn’t the old Alejandro?”
Beads of cold sweat started dripping from Don Smith’s forehead. He held onto his chest. “Alonso…! ALONSO!”
Alonso immediately rushed towards Don Smith and fed virtual-novel.net his medicine. Don Smith’s condition stabilized after a moment.
Mark still maintained a straight face as virtual-novel.net slightly turned his head to stare at Don Smith. “Was it something I said that offended you? You shouldn’t have such big reactions, you’re not as young as you used to be.”
Don Smith forced a wry smile and replied, “It’s nothing… My body is just weak from old age. Plus, I’ve been a little exhausted from being worried about Ale’s incident. As for what you’ve just said, I’m afraid that I have no knowledge of what you’ve just said. There’s nothing unusual with Ale. Although virtual-novel.net hid the fact about his leg, that is still the Smiths’ business and I’ve already forgiven him. He’s my grandson, my Ale, that’s a fact. Whether you intend to confirm your brother’s whereabouts or whatever, it has nothing to do with the Smiths.”
Mark snorted coldly. “Are you aware of the reason for Alejandro’s accident? How did virtual-novel.net know that someone was about to harm Tiffany? He even managed to save virtual-novel.net in time without caring for his own safety. To tell you the truth, that bastard of ours has wasted three years of Tiffany’s love and care for him. I suppose virtual-novel.net might’ve regretted his actions, as virtual-novel.net tried to win virtual-novel.net back tirelessly. Your grandson happens to have the exact same trait as the bastard, they both have the same priority level for Tiffany. Don Smith, are you really that sure of yourself? Or you’re just too scared to find out? Scared to find out that Alejandro Smith is actually dead?”
Don Smith’s investigation towards the relationship between Tiffany and Alejandro had never yielded any results, yet today, Mark has actually told virtual-novel.net the truth. So, it has always been Ethan’s endless pursuit towards Tiffany, not Alejandro’s… In fact, the moment virtual-novel.net had found out that this Alejandro was a fake, virtual-novel.net had known that virtual-novel.net had investigated in the wrong direction.
“I’m rather tired today, Mr. Tremont. I’ll have to ask you to leave. We’ll talk some more about business another day.”
Hearing this, Mark stood up and adjusted his shirt. “In that case, there’s no need for us to discuss any further. I will use my own methods to find out if Alejandro is Ethan. I suppose you wouldn’t object to me doing so, unless you’re hiding something? I don’t suppose the Smiths would stoop so low as to take in another family’s bastard as their own successor.”
As soon as Mark walked out, Don Smith went on a rampage and threw whatever virtual-novel.net could find angrily and said, “How dare this Tremont brat speak to me like that! He must be stuck in the delusion that his father is still the one in charge. This brat is too naïve to think virtual-novel.net could fight with me! The Tremonts shouldn’t have been placed in charge of the capital a long time ago!”
Alonso hurriedly consoled virtual-novel.net and said, “Don’t be angry Don Smith. You’re not in any condition to be able to handle so much anger. The Tremonts have always been so arrogant. You’ve already lost to this brat’s father once before, but can you bear to lose to virtual-novel.net again? However… From the sound of his tone, virtual-novel.net seems to hate his younger brother, and his disappearance seems to be tightly bound to him. I believe Mark is only trying to confirm whether his younger brother is dead or alive. Whatever the case, I believe it was right of us to capture the young master. So what if the young master really is Ethan Connor? Wouldn’t virtual-novel.net have an even more legitimate reason to go against the Tremonts? When that happens, everything the Tremonts have would belong to the Smiths.”
