Chester flung his hand and swept the glass on the table to the floor.
It was as if that was the only way to stop him from feeling so annoyed.
Shaun returned to Lea’s ward.
Lea was already awake. However, she exuded a wave of lifelessness.
“Shaun, you came just at the right time. We don’t know what’s wrong with your mom. I’ve been talking
to her for a long time, yet she hasn’t uttered a word. It’s very unlike her.” Valerie came over and
whispered, “Is she still hung up on Mason since he has gotten caught…”
“No…” Shaun cut her off. He glanced at the few people in the ward and said, “Maybe it’s because she
found out that Liam is hers and Brennan’s son and my biological brother.”
“What?”
Valerie and Spencer were shocked. “Wasn’t Liam hers and Mason’s?”
Catherine frowned as she glanced at Lea. She and Shaun had known about it early on, but they were
afraid it would upset Lea. It must have been Mason who said it himself.
“He’s not Mason’s son.” Lea finally spoke. However, her hoarse voice was empty and sad. “I was
mistaken all along.”
“You… How could you be so silly?” Spencer sighed heavily. “As the child’s mother, you can’t even
figure out who’s the father.”
Lea could not even feel any embarrassment. In fact, she felt that living was meaningless. “In the past, I
always thought I was a failure of a mother. Now, I realize that I’m not even worthy of being a mother.
For more than 20 years, I was fooled by a man.”
She choked, and her eyes reddened. Then, she raised her head and said to Shaun, “Shaun, I’ve
wronged you, and I’ve wronged Liam too. Liam is dead. It was Mason who killed him. I’m so useless
and stupid. I caused Liam’s death.”
As she spoke, she covered her eyes and wept.
She was a tough woman. She did not cry that way even when Mason abandoned her.
However, when she found out the truth, she broke down and cried.
At that moment, everyone was at a loss for words. “It’s not completely your fault.”
Shaun suddenly said, “Actually, I’ve already known about this for a while now. I’ve asked Dad about it.
That night, you were drunk, and he went over to look for you. When he woke up the next morning, he
was embarrassed to face you because of his men’s pride. Hence, he left. Afterward, Mason came and
pretended to be him. Dad thought you got pregnant with Mason’s child not long after you divorced him,
so his hatred toward you deepened. If only you and my dad were mature enough at that time. You were
the prideful princess of the Hill family who looked down on him, while he, having married into the Hill
family, was taunted by you, and he had his own pride too.”
“At that time, Dad and Mom both said that Brennan was quite good.” Spencer said, “Yet, you said he
was targeting the Hill family’s family business. In the end, the one who was really targeting the Hill
family’s business was Mason.”
“Enough, Brother. Stop talking. Don’t upset Lea anymore.” Valerie rolled her eyes at Spencer. “
Anyway, both you and Brennan are to blame for this matter. There’s no need to shoulder everything
yourself.”
“No, the fault mainly lies with me.” Lea shook her head. After wiping her face with a tissue, she asked,
“Shaun, where’s your dad?”
“The reason he came back this time is mainly to get revenge. Now that he has gotten his revenge, he’ll
return to Country Y after some time. After all, he’s Garson Corporation’s director, and his company is
over there. He said he despises Canberra,” Shaun said with a hint of sadness.
“Wow. He’s actually Garson Corporation’s director?” Valerie was surprised. “That’s the top mega-
corporation of Country Y. I never expected he would have today’s achievements when he was so poor
back then.”
“He has always been a smart and capable person. When he was studying, his results were the top in
the school. I was the one who was prejudiced against him.” Lea said with difficulty, “Shaun, please tell
him thank you… for last night.”
“Mm.”
Shaun took out a document. He said, “This is the Hill family’s manor’s Certificate of Title. ”
