‘Will?’
Alex suddenly felt his mind go numb as a worrisome thought popped into his head. His father’s name was William Rockefeller, and the pearl had his father’s blood in it. But virtual-novel.net was calling virtual-novel.net Will.
‘Did virtual-novel.net mistake me for my father?’
From virtual-novel.net tone of voice, their relationship didn’t seem to be just friends either.
‘Could virtual-novel.net be a mistress his father had outside of the family?’
‘Even Mom had no idea?’
He started to feel sorry for his mother, Brittany, because Susan looked like a young, intelligent beauty despite being near death’s door moments ago.
Susan noticed that Alex stood there without speaking so virtual-novel.net blinked and looked closer. “Oh, you… You’re not.. Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”
After a pause, virtual-novel.net asked. “Who are you?”
Her voice was unique throaty but soft, completely different from Angela Seay’s voice, which made Alex feel ill. Susan’s voice was pleasing and seductive to his ears.
Alex thought. ‘Damn, Mom has a strong competitor!’
‘If Dad hadn’t died, maybe virtual-novel.net would have left the family for this woman!’
“My name is Alex Rockefeller!” He answered in a frosty tone.
“Rockefeller…” Susan’s expression changed again.
“This Will guy you were talking about, is his name William Rockefeller?” He demanded.
Susan gasped, a bewildered expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Alex could see as clear as day that Susan Hunter and his father had a complicated relationship, or virtual-novel.net would not have looked like this. But that’s all in the past now. His father has been dead for a year now. Even if virtual-novel.net had mistresses, it wouldn’t make a difference anymore.
‘Thinking back, didn’t I sleep with Daya even after I was with Dorothy?’
‘Maybe Susan had some touching story with Dad.’
At that thought, the disgust in his soul vanished.
“That… Was given to you by William, right?” asked Alex as virtual-novel.net pointed at the pearl.
Susan immediately wrapped virtual-novel.net hand around the pearl, as if virtual-novel.net was protecting it with virtual-novel.net life. “You… Who are you exactly?”
“My name is Alex Rockefeller, so who do you think I am?” asked Alex sarcastically.
Susan struggled to sit up, though virtual-novel.net felt better than virtual-novel.net had in ages and virtual-novel.net head wasn’t muddled or unconscious. Her heart didn’t feel pricks of pain either.
“Are you… William’s younger brother?”
Alex was stunned for a second as William’s face appeared in his memories.
William did look quite young, with well defined features and dark set eyes. He didn’t look like an aging forty or fifty year old man. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked like a mature thirty year old youth. If they stood side by side, they would look like brothers instead of father and son.
Now a problem has appeared.
Susan Hunter didn’t know him, which means virtual-novel.net didn’t know that William had a son named Alex.
‘Did Dad really hide his marriage from virtual-novel.net and made virtual-novel.net his mistress that way?’
‘My god, what a scumbag!’
His image of his father wavered in his mind as virtual-novel.net felt some sort of deja vu… ‘If that was the case, does that mean virtual-novel.net had multiple more mistresses out there?’
Alex made a split second decision to not reveal himself as William‘s son. It would be too awkward.
‘This could be, my… Stepmother?!’
“Ahem, you are quite bright.” Alex brushed his nose off handedly and said, “The Yin energy in your body was too much to bear. If I hadn’t arrived in time, you would be dead by now.”
Susan stared at Alex in quiet contemplation.
Then, virtual-novel.net mumbled something as if virtual-novel.net were in a dream. “You and your brother really look alike.”
