Chapter 1801 Is He Really My Brother

In Chanaea, Susanne stared at her ringing phone and the foreign number on its screen. After some

contemplation, she eventually answered the call. “Hello. Who is this?”

Vinson felt pained by how melancholic Susanne sounded over the phone. “Mom, it’s me!” Susanne

instantly jumped to her feet when she recognized her son’s voice.

“Vinson? Is that you?” Agitatedly, she rambled, “Am I dreaming? Are you really calling me right now?”

She could hardly believe that her son, who had been missing for such a long time, would call her out of

the blue. Vinson replied, “It’s me, Mom. You’re not dreaming!” After hearing his confirmation, Susanne

hurriedly asked about Arielle, “What about Sannie? How is she? Is she okay?”

Arielle and Vinson had been on the same cruise ship, and Susanne’s concern only grew with the

shocking number of casualties from the shipwreck.

“Mom, she’s okay too. We’ll be back in two days.” As he reassured his mother, Vinson suddenly

recalled an earlier conversation with Arielle and asked, “Mom, do I have a brother?”

Susanne was shell-shocked. How did he find out?

She sputtered, “W-Why are you asking about this?”

Her tone was proof enough that Arielle’s suspicions were correct. Vinson immediately knew the man

they were discussing was likely his brother.

Vinson shared his and Arielle’s hypothesis with his mother. “He probably orchestrated the accidents

that had befallen Arielle and me.”

Though he could not see it, Susanne shook her head and muttered, “What? That’s impossible. Why

would he harm you?”

She simply could not believe that child would harm Vinson. After all, the child’s biological mother was a

proud woman, and it seemed unimaginable that she would raise a cold-blooded mastermind.

“Vinson, could you be mistaken? Your older brother would never harm you.” Susanne stubbornly

refused to accept that possibility.

Meanwhile, Vinson’s gaze darkened in response.

“Mom, is he really my older brother?”

Susanne realized it was impossible to hide the man’s true parentage now that he had appeared.

Alas, she could only confess the truth.

“He’s your older brother from a different mother.” She continued hastily, “But I don’t think he would ever

harm you. His mother is a proud woman, and she would never raise a son like that. Vinson, are you

sure you haven’t misunderstood the situation?”

Vinson fired back, “Are you sure you haven’t misunderstood the situation?” Susanne froze in surprise.

He must have evidence if he’s so sure about this. Perhaps I’m the one struggling to accept the truth.

Suddenly, Vinson piped up, “Mom, I borrowed this phone from someone else. I’ll call you again once I

get a new phone.”

Susanne mumbled an acknowledgment and hung up.

Then, she took out the Nightshires’ family photo from a drawer and gazed at Vinson’s father.

As she stared at the photograph, she mumbled, “I offered to raise the child as ours back then, but she

refused. I never imagined she would raise her son into a monster who would harm Vinson. What

should I do?”

In truth, Susanne had been the innocent party in the relationship. She and Vinson’s father were in an

arranged marriage, and she had no idea that he already had a girlfriend, let alone a child. They had

fallen deeply in love with each other by the time she learned about his old flame. She had even given

birth to Vinson just over a month before the revelation.

Susanne had told him to make a choice, promising to respect his decision even if he left her.

At last, he chose to be with her and compensated his old flame handsomely. Susanne had suggested

raising the woman’s child as their own, thinking it would improve his ex’s marriage options in the future,

but she had disagreed. Now, I can’t allow her son to harm my son.
