Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

“Hmm.” Luther helped Felix up and let him lean against the back of the bed. “On the way here, Mr. Ball briefed me on the general situation.”

At this moment, Joyce quickly brought a glass of water for Felix. “Your throat is hoarse, drink some water to soothe it.”

Felix wore a worried expression. “No need, it doesn’t matter to me.”

He grabbed Mr. Ball urgently and asked, “Vicki, have you found her?”

Mr. Ball shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Saunders, we haven’t found your sister-in-law. However, Nishant brought back someone from the other side who is being interrogated. Perhaps we can get some clues.”

Felix’s eyes dimmed, devoid of any light. He had already guessed it; otherwise, upon waking up, he wouldn’t have seen Luther and Joyce. If they had found Vicki, Mr. Ball wouldn’t have called them. Something must have gone wrong.

Luther comforted him. “Don’t worry. Vicki is not an ordinary person. Under normal circumstances, she can handle herself. If it’s not her own will, Cloud can’t control her. Our priority now is to figure out who is targeting Vicki.”

Joyce handed him water again. “Take care of yourself first. Don’t wait until you receive news about Vicki and then collapse. What should we do then?”

Felix took the glass of water and drank it all at once. He knew Joyce was right. Right now, he had to recover as quickly as possible in order to focus on finding Vicki.

Seeing Jamie, Felix nodded in gratitude. “Who took care of the wound so professionally? It turns out to be you.”

Jamie smiled. “Mr. Saunders, you always have a way with words. It’s my duty. Your injuries are only superficial, nothing serious. Now, do you feel dizzy or nauseous?”

Felix shook his head. “None of that.”

Jamie nodded. “That’s good, then. There shouldn’t be any major issues. I’ll leave you some medicine-take two pills three times a day. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I’ll be there.”

Felix responded, “Okay, thank you.”

Luther waved his hand. “Alright, Jamie, you can go back now. I’ll contact you if necessary.”

Jamie nodded, and then he left with Mr. Ball.

When only Luther, Joyce, and Felix remained in the room…

Luther finally asked, “Felix, Mr. Ball and I analyzed the situation just now. It’s not OGW, not the Ballard family, nor any other gangs. Apart from the Saunders family, who else dares to offend them like this? Do you have any suspicions?”

Felix’s eyes narrowed. “Yes! You’ve thought of it too! That’s right, besides Hilton’s branch, I can’t think of anyone else.”

Joyce looked at Luther. She didn’t know much about the history of the Saunders family, but it seemed like a family dispute.

“By the way, there’s another important thing I found out recently,” Felix said in a low voice. “Westbrook, you know about him, right?”

Joyce nodded. “Yes, I know. He’s the one you sent to the kindergarten and had a few conflicts with Anderson.”

“Yes, Westbrook is the devil incarnate of the Saunders family. I deliberately sent him to the same kindergarten as Anderson, hoping that Anderson could teach him a lesson and make him suffer a bit, so he would restrain himself,” Felix said.

Joyce… This was an interesting approach.

“What happened to Westbrook? Isn’t he your brother? What does he have to do with Vicki?” Luther asked.

“Reese’s illegitimate child, who is usually doted on. But I discovered that Westbrook is not Reese’s biological child. He was born to my stepmother and another man,” Felix solemnly said. “He’s not my brother.”

“Ah! Reese doesn’t know yet, does he?” Joyce asked.

“I haven’t told Reese yet. I don’t want to until things are clear. The most crucial part is when I went for a paternity test. Although Westbrook’s sample and Reese’s sample didn’t match as father and son, there was still some biological connection,” Felix continued.

Joyce looked puzzled. “Not father and son, but there’s a biological connection? What does that mean? I don’t understand.”

Felix shrugged. “That’s the most bizarre part. It means that although they are not father and son, there is still some blood relationship. For example, they are relatives.”

“Relatives?!” Joyce was even more surprised. “You mean Westbrook still has some Saunders family blood flowing in him. Even though his father is not Reese, he is related to the other Saunders?”

“Yes, exactly.” Felix spreadhis hands. “That’s how absurd it is.”

Luther rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment. “Actually, this can explain a lot. Your stepmother has always been hostile towards you, not an ordinary person. She had an affair and gave birth to a child with another man, aiming to use that child as leverage to control the Saunders family in the future. And that man she had an affair with is a member of the Saunders family. So, that man is the mastermind.”

“I’ve thought about that too. The man she had an affair with is from Hilton’s branch. But…” Felix furrowed his brows in confusion. “The men from Hilton’s branch are either too old or too young. I can’t think of anyone who could be involved with Fox.”

Luther added, “I’m not very familiar with the other branch of the Saunders family. Let’s do this: you get up first, change into clean clothes. We’ll analyze this together.”

Joyce also chimed in, “You must be hungry, right? I brought some food. Let me prepare it. Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. You go wash your face and clear your mind. Maybe you’ll have new ideas.”

Felix nodded.

After a moment, he freshened up in the bathroom, changed into casual clothes, covered his wound, and looked as if nothing had happened.

He entered the dining room, where Joyce had already prepared breakfast, and everyone sat around the table.

Mr. Ball, while eating, said, “Nishant called just now and said they made some progress in the interrogation of the person he brought in. The guy is tough, initially refusing to talk. But eventually, he revealed that someone ordered them to do it. The person is around forty years old, with a scar on his chest. Regarding his appearance, he said his features were somewhat peculiar, nothing else stood out. They don’t know who he is, just that he paid them to do it.”

Felix’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper. “Around forty years old? That’s similar to Fox. It’s really strange. As far as I know, the men from Hilton’s branch who are around that age are either too old or already deceased.”

Joyce spoke up, “Are you sure he’s dead? Did you see it with your own eyes? People can come back to life, don’t jump to conclusions too early.”

Felix was startled suddenly. That’s right. The news of Seren’s death had always been hearsay.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

What if Seren didn’t die?!

Oh no! Felix’s pupils contracted.

If Seren didn’t die and he was the one who kidnapped Vicki, then…

It’s over!
