NEW YEAR NEWChapter 1143 Larry let out a heavy sigh, turned to Alexander, and his smile faded. He sighed again, "Man, you two really look alike." Alexander's brows knitted together. The resemblance was obvious.
"You didn't draghere just to say that, did you?" Alexander shot back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarry said, "They've reached out to you, haven't they?" "So what?" Alexander replied, cool as a cucumber.
Larry sighed again, "It's all those idiots' doing; otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess. But don't jump the gun. Whether you're into it or not, just hearout. I know you're pissed at your parents for ditching you, but that was all your mom's call. Even your dad was in the dark." Larry continued, "Your folks had a business marriage and didn't get along. Plus, your grandpa always wanted a grandson. Your mom wasn't too thrilled, so she played dirty." Larry had been Harold Ethereal's right-hand man, so he knew all the dirt, including this mess, which he had handled himself.
Feeling a bit awkward, he said, "Long story short, your mom held a grudge, so when Kaitlyn swapped you, she kept it hush-hush to spite your grandpa. She claimed she had a baby girl, and Harold was bummed out. She handed the baby girl to Cynthia, and no one really cared after that." "So what?" Alexander stayed indifferent.
Larry shook his head and sighed, "So she got her comeuppance. Your mom got seriously ill a few years later and was bedridden for nearly a decade. She passed when you were about fifteen. After she died, only Cynthia knew the secret." Alexander's lips twisted into a sneer, "No wonder she kept her mouth shut." Larry sneered back, "They were in on it together, so of course, they kept quiet. If it hadn't hit the news, even I wouldn't have known." He only found out the truth after the news broke and he forced Cynthia to spill the beans.
When Ruby was brought back, he thought she was the Ethereal family's kid and raised her with love. Who would've thought she was actually from the Kennedy family? Larry went on, "Alexander, this is the real deal, not the crap Cynthia fed you. Your grandpa wanted you more than anyone. Except for your mom, no one wanted to ditch you or use you to grab the Kennedy family's assets. With their power, why would they need the Kennedy family's stuff? Now he's on his deathbed. Think about whether you want to see him one last time." Alexander stared at the ground, silent for a moment.
Quinn and Abigail had been running around all afternoon. There wasn't much to do in Sylvadora, and she had already hit the famous spots with Alexander last time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing those familiar scenes, she couldn't get excited and kept thinking about him.
"Quinn, cheer up. Why the long face when we're out having fun?" Abigail said, handing her a cup of coffee.
Quinn took the coffee and apologized, "There's really nothing fun here. How about we hit another city?"
Abigail nodded, "Honestly, it's the severywhere. You really want to go until you get there, and then it's just meh. The main point is to chill out." Quinn agreed, "True that."
Abigail offered, "If you're tired, we can head back and rest now and cback tomorrow.
She was also feeling beat. After such a long flight and car ride she didn't have much energy left. inn was more than happy to agree and nodded right away.
