“… My name is Hera Imm.” Catherine smiled slyly and left.
Matthew was stunned for a few seconds. Hera Imm.
Heroine?
How interesting.
He left the place with his long legs. After getting into the car, he received a call from Sheryl. “You little
brat, did you secretly run off to Australia?”
“Mom, I reached Melbourne last night.” Matthew chuckled. “Didn’t I mention to you that I wanted to visit
your hometown? When I finish making the arrangements, you and Dad can come back. I went to see
Uncle and Aunty this morning and asked
about Grandpa and Grandma’s graves. I’m planning to go pay my respects later.”
When Sheryl heard his words, she forgot to lecture him and only asked after a moment of silence, “Are
your uncle and aunt well?”
“Not really. They’ve been locked up in prison for a few years and seem to have gotten older, but Uncle
does have some resemblance to you.”
Matthew said, “Just in case, I also asked around the old Jones family’s residence. There used to be a
Jones family there, and they had a daughter called Sheryl Jones. However, she got into an accident out
at sea 2o years ago. Jeffery Jones also had two daughters, Catherine and Rebecca Jones. Catherine
was raised by them since she was a child, but Rebecca was trafficked when she was a child. They
found her after that.”
“You suspect that what Rebecca said was false?” Sheryl frowned. “You did the paternity test. She’s
indeed my child.”
“ I know, I was just checking to be sure, ” Matthew said, “Mom, it’s no wonder such beautiful women
like you can be found in Melbourne. It’s been less than a day since I arrived but I already met a beauty
whose looks are comparable to yours when you were young. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve seen
besides you. Although you’re also beautiful, you’re not young anymore—”
“You little brat. How dare you say your mom isn’t young? Do you want to die?” Titus’ roar suddenly
sounded.
Matthew’s hand trembled, as he did not expect his father to be listening. After all, Titus was a wife-
protecting maniac. “I was wrong, Dad. That woman is just a little inferior to Mom. I feel like… I’ve fallen
in love with her at first sight.”
“Pfft…” Sheryl, who was drinking water, spewed out the water in shock and coughed violently.
“Dear, are you alright?” Titus hurriedly patted Sheryl’s back and yelled into the phone, “Matthew
Costner, do you want to die? You sneaked off to Australia without a word and dared to hit on a woman
there? Have you forgotten about your mother’s affairs?”
“ I didn’t forget, Dad. I just coincidentally met that woman. She saved me too.” Matthew smiled. “I think
this is the once-in-a-lifetime feeling you told me you had when you first met Mom. But she’s a few years
older than me. You won’t mind, right?”
“You rascal, if you dare to find a woman older than you, I’ll break your bones, ” Titus warned him. “ Your
identity isn’t ordinary, so the person you marry in the future must be an extraordinary person. There are
some things you shouldn’t even think about wanting.”
“Fine, I was just saying. I don’t even know her name or number.” Matthew pouted.
“Stop messing around. Get your aunt and uncle out much about the culture here.”
“You already said that it was ancient times. This is the modern era. Just talk according to how you
would in your country, ” Catherine explained in amusement.
“Oh.” Matthew nodded. “In that case, beautiful lady, may I ask for your name?”
