“He couldn't turn a blind eye to the girl and his own son, so he decided to keep them both by his side. Your
mother, upon learning this, was heartbroken. She suffered from a bout of depression and one evening, while
taking a bath, she cut her own wrists.”
“The situation at that twas very frightening, and | didn’t care about much else. | hurriedly called your father.
Your father heard that your mother was attempting suicide and was originally going to rush over immediately.
However, the girl didn’t allow your father to get involved with his ex-love, so in the end, your father didn’t come
home.”
“After your mother escaped from danger, she felt a deep despair towards your father. As a result, she made a
decision to completely abandon your father and cut off all assistance to him.”
“Your father deeply regretted his actions. He originally intended to explain everything to your mother, but that
night he was forced to stop. However, you also know your mother well. She is rational, decisive, and once she
has made up her mind, nothing can change it. She ignored your father’s repeated requests to meet, and even
forbade him from seeing you and your brothers. Initially, your grandmother and others thought your mother was
heartless, but | know that this was her only way of healing. After all, seeing your father would greatly upset her.
She still has all of you to take care of and cannot afford to have any problems herself.”
When Zane said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

The voice choked up and said, “Back then, | thought things had reached the worst point. Little did | know, there
was even worse to come.”
“Your father, thinking that they would reconcile as a couple, ultimately transferred all his assets to your mother.
Now that your mother has broken ties with him, your father naturally demands that she return the portion of
assets that belongs to him.”
Your mother was already furious, and she angrily scolded your father, “Do you still remember our wedding vows?
The person who cheats must swallow a thousand silver needles. As long as you keep your vows, | am willing to
give up half of our marital property.”
“Your father widened his eyes and muttered, ‘I didn’t cheat. Your mother questioned him, ‘Who would believe it
when we already have a child?’ Upon hearing this, your father left in a daze.”
“I thought that the two of them, as a couple, would forget each other in the world. But who knew that your father
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould lose everything and gradually develop mental issues. In the end, he took a path of no return.”
In order to seek forgiveness from your mother, he went crazy and swallowed a silver needle. The hospital called
your mother, and she was terrified. She hurriedly went to the hospital. Your father held your mother’s hand and
spoke with great difficulty, but your mother still understood his dying request. He asked your mother to take care
of Mr. Joshua for his sake. He also said that Mr. Joshua didn’t need to be involved in family affairs, just give him a
meal to eat.

“Your mother suddenly went crazy and scolded your father: You're almost dying, yet you haven't said a word of
concern forand the children, but only care about that mother and son. Why should | raise your child for you?
I won't. If you die, | will kick them out of the Capital...”
“Your mother has always been gentle in character and has never yelled at your father like this before. It was
probably at that moment when he realized how much his behavior had hurt your mother. It was also at that
moment when he sincerely apologized to your mother.”
“But your mother did not forgive him.”
“Your father was in tears.”

“Your mother was so disappointed in him that she didn’t stay in the hospital for long. She just left. Before
leaving, she deliberately broke up with your father: You have ultimately betrayed our love. Since | have already
divorced you, my feelings for you have been completely worn away. From now on, we are strangers. | only hope
that in the next life, we will never meet again.”
After saying these words, your mother resolutely left.
“Your father was heartbroken and couldn’t bear it. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and ultimately passed
away without finding peace.”
Zane said this, raised the back of his hand and wiped away his
tears.
Robert was shocked by his parents’ tragic love story and couldn’t find words to say. He had always believed that
his father had passed away from an illness in his early years,

Zane continued, “After your father passed away, that woman left Mr. Joshua at the doorstep of Miller Manor. She
left a letter and then left. In the letter, she confessed her foolishness in her youth to your mother, sincerely
apologized, and mentioned that she wanted to take your father’s ashes back to her hometown to spend the rest
of her life. She vowed to never set foot in the Capital again. In the end, your mother couldn't resist and adopted
Mr. Joshua.”
“Because Mr. Joshua was too young, your mother felt very guilty towards him, always thinking that it was her
fault that Mr. Joshua had no parents. So she made up her mind to raise Mr. Joshua as her own son.”
After listening to this story, Robert couldn't calm his emotions for a long time.
The parents went from being loving to falling apart... It caused him too much pain.
“My father was just an ordinary man, and anyone who reached his stage might have developed saffection
for their own son. It was my mother, however, who was truly remarkable in her clear-headedness, not getting
caught up in setbacks but instead creating even greater brilliance. Her resilience is truly admirable.”
At this moment, Robert still had something weighing heavily on his mind.
“Besides the few individuals involved at the tand yourself, who else knows about my father’s and mother’s
long- standing past, as well as Mr. Joshua's background?”

Zane shook his hand and said, “This kind of thing is a family shafter all. Your father and mother didn’t even
announce their divorce to the public. I'm sure no one else knows about
ie.”
Robert, however, was full of doubts, “But how did he know then?”
Robert was extremely curious about Thorne. He admired him greatly.
Zane was even more surprised, “Sir, who are you talking about?”
Robert gave a casual glance and brushed it off, saying, “This matter happened so many years ago, there's no
need to bring it up again.”
Zane, however, grabbed his hand and said, “Sir, then will you still hand over the company to Mr. Joshua to
manage?”
Robert said, “I was just talking.”
Zane breathed a sigh of relief, “Now that you know about his background, you should also know that your
mother harbored sresentment towards his mother. She had done her utmost to raise him, but she is not the
kind of person who would tolerate any further demands from him.”
Robert said, “Go back and tell my mother, the heir of the company, that | would make a different choice.”
“That's good,” Zane sighed in relief.
Before Zane left, Robert suddenly called him to a stop.
“Oh, by the way.””

Robert pondered over Thorne’s thre
e pieces of advice in his mind, and now that one of them had ctrue, he couldn’t help but believe that the
other two would as well.
“Victoria saved her mother’s life, and her mother is grateful. She should not be unkind to her, right?”
Zane looked surprised, “Lady Miller left Ms. Victoria with the Miller family and even considered adopting her as a
daughter. She even wanted to give her sshares.”
