Chapter 104: The Third Child
Ethan read the message again.THE THIRD CHILD LIVES.For several seconds, nobody spoke. Peter took the photograph from his hand and examined it closely. "Whoever sent this knows exactly what they're doing."Ethan looked at the picture of Margaret standing beside Malcolm Voss. "That photograph was taken tonight. They have her."Augustus shook his head. "Malcolm wouldn't hurt Margaret."Ethan turned sharply. "After everything you've told me, you still believe you understand what that man is capable of?"Augustus lowered his eyes. "I knew him before he became this.""That doesn't answer my question."Daniel Grant stepped forward. "We need to understand the message first. Why would someone mention a third child when the agreement only talks about two?"Samuel had joined them through a phone call and was listening carefully. "Because there was never supposed to be a third child," he said.Ethan immediately looked at the phone. "Explain."Samuel took a breath. "The original agreement was cr
Chapter 103: The Secret Beneath the Chapel
Ethan stared at the photograph on his phone. Richard Carter was sitting in a dark room, his hands tied behind his back. The man standing behind him was partially hidden by the shadows, but there was something familiar about his appearance. Ethan enlarged the picture. "Who is this man?" he asked.Augustus looked at the screen. His expression changed immediately. "Where did you get that?""Someone just sent it to me. They claim to be holding my father."Augustus slowly sat down. "Then things are worse than I thought."Ethan stepped closer. "You said Jonathan was working with the person who ordered the fire. Now you're telling me there's someone above him. Who is it?"Augustus looked towards the entrance. "His name is Malcolm Voss."Peter frowned. "Malcolm Voss? I thought he died years ago.""He was reported dead," Augustus replied. "But that was part of the plan."Daniel Grant shook his head. "I knew Jonathan had someone giving him instructions, but I never knew it was Malcolm."Augustu
Chapter 102: The Man Behind the Gun
Nobody moved. Daniel Grant stood at the entrance with a gun pointed directly at Ethan. Peter slowly raised his hands. "Daniel, what are you doing?"Daniel Grant ignored him. "Step away from the girl, Ethan."Ethan remained beside Emily. "You have some explaining to do.""Put your hands where I can see them."Ethan slowly raised his hands. Emily grabbed his sleeve. "He's the one I told you about," she whispered. "I heard him speaking with Jonathan."Daniel Grant smiled. "She's a clever girl. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the full story."Peter stepped forward. "I trusted you twelve years ago.""And that was your mistake."Peter's expression hardened. "Did you work with Jonathan to start the fire?"Daniel Grant lowered his gun slightly. "You still believe the fire was the beginning of everything. It wasn't. The fire was only the moment everything went wrong."Ethan looked at him. "Stop speaking in riddles. Tell me what you did."Daniel Grant looked towards the corridor. "First, we nee
Chapter 101: The Mother Behind the Secret
Sophia couldn't take her eyes off Margaret. The old Ainsworth estate had become unusually quiet. Even Victor, who had been standing beside Jonathan, seemed interested in what would happen next. Sophia took a small step forward. "Is it true?" she asked.Margaret's lips trembled, but no words came out."Please, don't just stand there looking at me. I need an answer."Jonathan smiled faintly. "Why are you asking her? I've already told you the truth.""Nobody asked you!" Sophia snapped. For the first time that evening, Jonathan's smile disappeared.Ethan moved closer to his wife. "Sophia, take your time. Nobody is going to force you to accept anything without proof."Sophia nodded, although her eyes remained fixed on Margaret. "Did you give birth to me?"Margaret lowered her head. A tear rolled down her cheek. "Yes," she whispered.Sophia felt the ground shift beneath her feet. She stepped backwards, shaking her head. "No. That's not possible.""I'm sorry," Margaret said."Sorry?" Sophia
Chapter 100: The Son-in-Law Rises to Supremacy
Sophia stood beside the car, holding her phone as if it had suddenly become dangerous. "Someone just told me that I may not be who I think I am."Ethan looked at her carefully. "Who called you?""I don't know. It was a woman. She said she had seen my real birth certificate.""What else did she say?""She said my grandfather was murdered because he discovered the truth about two children."Richard slowly closed his eyes. "Edward Lawson knew this day would come."Sophia turned towards him. "You knew something about this?"Richard didn't answer immediately. "Your great-grandfather was involved in an agreement that was supposed to protect two children. When he discovered that someone had changed their identities, he began investigating.""Who changed them?""That's what he was trying to discover."Sophia looked frustrated. "Why does everyone keep speaking as if the truth is some dangerous secret? My grandfather is dead. My family has suffered. Ethan's family has suffered. How much longer
Chapter 99: The New Heir Is Crowned
The car moved through the night at full speed. Ethan sat in the passenger seat, staring at the photograph Peter had shown him. Margaret Carter was standing behind Sophia at the old railway station. And in her hand was the third golden ring."Stop the car," Ethan suddenly said.Daniel glanced at him. "What happened?""Look at this photograph again."Daniel took the phone and examined it. His expression changed. "That's your mother.""Yes. And she's holding the third ring."Peter leaned forward from the back seat. "That ring was supposed to remain with Samuel Carter. How did Margaret get it?""That's what we're going to find out," Ethan replied.Daniel increased the speed. "There's something else. If Margaret is at the railway station, then Jonathan may not have taken Sophia."Ethan looked at him. "Or he may be using my mother to get to her."Nobody spoke after that. Ethan called Sophia again. This time, the call connected. "Ethan!""Sophia, where are you?""At the old railway station.
