254 Ch. 254 The Answer Anxia Wanted

“I’d like to see your master.” That was the first thing that came out of Anxia’s mouth after escorting Elliot to his room and meeting her new attendant.

“My apology. Master Shu is not in this country at the moment. Instead, there is someone who wants to meet you. I will escort you to the place if you don’t mind.”

“Why didn’t he just come here?”

“We don’t want to attract too much attention from your mother.”

Anxia’s brow furrowed at this, suspecting even Deke Shu was hiding something from his daughter. The longer she lived here, the more Anxia realized her family was messy.

It’s no wonder that at the beginning of her pregnancy, Anxia didn’t love her fetus in the slightest, and she took extreme measures to abort the fetus. If Ling Meng hadn’t persuaded her then, Anxia would never have felt what it’s like to be a mother who loves her child.

Anxia would also never have the chance to meet the adorable Lori and Elliot.

Or could it be that… her grandfather already knew that the current Loraine Shu was not his biological daughter? Ah, that’s impossible. If Deke Shu had known that Loraine Shu was not his natural child, the old man would not have let Loraine gain control over his property, let alone rule this island.

Hence, Anxia couldn’t understand why Deke Shu was acting so mysteriously by keeping something a secret from his daughter. Anxia herself was also surprised when she saw her mother’s unusual reaction when she recognized the face of her new attendant.

.....

For the umpteenth time, Anxia looked at the man named Liam with a probing look. Even if she accepted this guy’s offer to be her attendant, Anxia couldn’t blindly trust strangers.

She even suspected her grandfather had sent a confidant to monitor her movements and ensure she wouldn’t carry off the only heir.

Well, at least this guy didn’t follow her around the clock like a stalker and gave her some privacy. Liam would only appear when Anxia summoned him or needed him to do something.

This young man didn’t even comment on the accusing stares and seemed to be probing him like a hawk’s eye. Thus, Anxia couldn’t find any opening to find out her grandfather’s purpose in sending someone to approach her.

“Miss, are you leaving now?” in a polite and respectful tone, Liam asked back without feeling intimidated by a stern and suspicious look from Anxia.

“Should I go? I’m sure I have nothing to discuss with anyone other than my mother or grandfather.”

“I can tell her you don’t want to see her. But miss, you might get the answers you want to seek if you see her.”

Her? So it was a woman who’d like to meet Anxia. “Does this lady know what I wanted to know the most?”

“You will know once you meet her.” came the lad’s straightforward answer.

Anxia wanted to know whether Loraine Shu was her mother or Jamie. But she didn’t need to go out because Richard would tell her the results in a moment. He also wanted to know who had saved her father when a group of people beats Zhou Yu Hue almost to death. Anxia even felt that the person who saved her father had some intentions.

All the negative thoughts and various kinds of suspicion that assaulted her brain made Anxia feel mentally tired and weak.

Just a while ago, she had closed her past grudges and reconciled with Michele. Now she must be confronted by an unknown past with many dark secrets.

Knowing that her parents were still alive was a miracle she never expected.

Suppose there was one question that she needed an answer to, that was to find out who the mysterious man that traumatized her son was—she wanted to find out that man’s identity. If that person threatened to cut off her son’s tongue, then Anxia would carry out that threat and cut off that man’s tongue because that evil man had uttered a toxic phrase to her son’s mind—inflicting a deep trauma and turning her innocent baby boy into someone she’s not.

Anxia glanced at Liam once again, wondering if she would be able to find the man who had threatened her son if she met the person Liam was referring to.

“Alright. When do we leave?”

“We can leave now if you wish.”

“But my mother...”

“Don’t worry. The madam had rested in her room, and she wouldn’t want to be disturbed for a few hours.”

What a hard-working attendant this guy is. Without knowing whether Anxia would be willing to leave or not, this guy had prepared everything. Remarked Anxia in her mind. “Let’s go now, then.”

As Liam said, Loraine Shu was resting in the room right now while Mei Yin accompanied Elliot to study. Thus no one would realize Anxia had gone somewhere, and she would be back before Loraine woke up from her peaceful rest time. Furthermore, Anxia had started to be able to entrust Elliot’s safety to the girl even though she didn’t like the young girl.

Thus, she didn’t need to worry that Loraine Shu would inquire about her whereabouts and vent her anger on Elliot. She knew Loraine wouldn’t be able to hurt Elliot, but it seemed her lover could hurt the boy regardless of whether Elliot was Deke Shu’s great-grandson.

But Anxia wasn’t worried because Elliot would be fine if Mei Yin were by Elliot’s side.

Anxia walked casually to the pier to cross the ocean by boat. When she arrived at the port, someone came to this island and got off his boat.

The person was a middle-aged man who still looked dashing and muscular, but his facial appearance was quite gruesome due to the deep scar caused by a sharp object from the left temple down to the nose and right lower jaw.

Anxia was aware of this unknown man, but she didn’t care and continued to follow Liam, who had now boarded the boat to start the engine.

If she had known that the person who had just arrived was the one who was punishing and threatening Elliot, perhaps Anxia would not have just let that man go.
