Chapter 497: Chapter 498

Chapter 498 298 Vouchers Robert’s face emerged with hesitation and conflict.

He had entered his twilight years, and had a close relationship with his mother, but he never knew that his fourth brother was not his biological sibling. If he were to go to great lengths to investigate his fourth brother’s parentage, he feared that his brother would discover the clues and it would affect their family relationship.

Robert said, “What you said today is a serious matter. I will investigate it thoroughly, and once I have the results, I will come and see you again.”

Thorne nodded lightly.

Robert was almost staggering as he left.

The Miller Manor.

Robert came back home with a pale face and locked himself in his room for a while. After organizing his thoughts, Robert deliberately called Zane, who was at home, into his room and the two of them had a long and intense conversation.

“Zane, how many years have you been coming to my house?”

“Sir, thanks to your kindness, I have been with the Miller family for forty–four years.”

“You did very well,” Robert said, and then fell silent. Suddenly, Robert looked up with a deep gaze and said, “The Miller family has four children. Besides me, who has no 0.00%

O Chapter 498 288 Vouchers descendants, among the other three, which branch do you think has the potential to sustain the Miller Group?”

Zane looked surprised, “Sir, you were in very good health, and you were thinking about things too early.”

Robert said, “Zane, what did you think of the four–bedroom house?”

Zane looked panicked and said, “A four–bedroom house? Although Mr. Joshua is young, he is only good at idling around and doesn’t know anything about doing business.”

Robert stared into Zane’s eyes and said, “Although he didn’t understand business, he was at least intelligent. As long as I took the time to mentor him seriously, he could still succeed.”

Zane became even more anxious, “Even if Mr. Joshua is intelligent and can sustain the Miller Group. But what about Mr.

Joshua’s successor? The Miller Group only has one daughter, Naomi, who indulges in eating, drinking, and having fun, and is not suitable for business.”

Robert laughed and said, “Zane, it seems like you didn’t have much faith in the fourth house, huh?”

Zane said, “Sir, I was doing it for the good of the Miller family.”

Robert’s expression slightly hardened as he said, “Zane, you have been following my mother all these years, so you must surely know about my mother’s affairs. There is one thing I want to confirm with you. Do you still remember the scene when my mother gave birth to Mr. Joshua?”

Zane was dumbfounded.

Chapter 498 Time passed by minute by minute.

288 Vouchers After a long time, Zane seemed to have not come up with a satisfactory answer. Finally, he sighed and said, “Sir, it has been too long. I don’t remember very clearly. I just vaguely remember that it was a stormy day. Lady Miller stayed up until midnight in the old mansion, only to hear the sound of a baby crying.”

Robert laughed.

The smile was pale and weak.

“Hmph.” He emitted a cold snort from his nose.

I felt as if I was being invaded by ice streams from all directions, and my heart froze, contracting.

“If he hadn’t reminded me, I would never have known that there was such a thing as the Miller family pulling a switcheroo,”

Robert exclaimed, in awe of Thorne’s genius.

Zane’s expression changed.

Robert directly exposed his lie, “Zane, what kind of family are we, the Miller family? We come from a prestigious lineage. When my mother gave birth to the three of us brothers, she went to the best hospital. How is it that now, when she is older and considered an advanced maternal age, she is willing to risk her life by giving birth at home?”

Zane felt a bit nervous under Robert’s gaze.

“Grandpa, when Lady Miller gave birth to you, she had no experience, so she went to the hospital for delivery. But when she gave birth to Joshua, she had more experience and felt 35.39%

Chapter 498 that going to the hospital was troublesome.”

Zane knelt down with a thud and pleaded, “Sir, please spare me.”

Robert looked surprised.

Originally, Thorne was thought to be just speculating randomly, and in order to give him an explanation, a symbolic investigation was carried out, so as to have evidence to refute Thorne’s nonsense.

But after a few rounds, Zane showed his fear. This effectively confirmed Thorne’s speculation.

How did he know?

Robert scratched his head and couldn’t figure out why the Miller family kept this matter so tightly concealed. Apart from the few individuals involved at the time, even their own brothers in the Miller family were completely unaware.

How did Thorne know?

“Tell me the truth,” Robert said weakly.

Zane let out a heavy sigh, “Ah.”

“Sir, you are an intelligent person. Since you have already noticed the unusualness of the situation, there is no need for me to hide it from you anymore.”

“In the past, although your father and mother were deeply in 53.48%

One time, he drank too much and ended up lying in a hotel when he woke up. There was a strange girl lying next to him, and your father gave her some money to keep her quiet about the incident.”

“Little did they know, over a month later, the girl appeared at the Miller family. Your father was terrified and dragged her outside, questioning why she didn’t keep her word. The girl knelt before him, crying, and confessed that she was pregnant and didn’t know what to do.”

“Your father was merciful and would never do anything ruthless or extreme. He placed the girl in a villa in the suburbs and hired someone to take care of her. He planned to send the mother and child away after she gave birth.”

“But the girl sent a text message to your mother, which deeply affected her and caused her to suffer from depression. This behavior of the girl successfully angered your father.”

“Your father knelt in front of your mother and presented the truth on a tray. He sought your mother’s forgiveness. However, your mother was unwilling to forgive him. She said that your father could have told her the next day when the incident happened, so they could face the consequences together. But your father chose to conceal it, allowing that woman to come before her arrogantly.”

“Your father, knowing he was in the wrong, allowed your mother to handle it. Impulsively, your mother divorced your father. The girl, full of joy, thought she could take advantage of the situation, unaware that your father had lost love and family, and harbored deep hatred towards her.”

The girl was in despair and tried to use the media to force your father to comply. Seeing her madness, your father simply transferred all his assets to your mother. And he left with nothing.
