Chapter 1500

Zachary narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have deduced something through Lucas’ silence, if Miss

Corinne and I weren’t husband and wife, why would I take a child from her back then?”

Lucas snapped back to his senses and glared at him. “I’d like to know the answer to that too!”

Zachary looked at the infuriated Lucas and responded calmly, “Make I ask your surname?”

“It’s Rivera,” Lucas answered coldly.

Zachary asked further, “And what is your relationship to Miss Corinne?”

“She’s my sister.”

Zachary nodded. ‘I understand. Your anger toward me stems from your belief that I’ve wronged your

sister.”

“Wronged? That’s an understatement!” Lucas roared. “The harm you inflicted on her can hardly be

described as a mere ‘wronging’.”

Zachary then replied, “I don’t remember anything, so I can’t offer you an explanation for your

accusations at the moment.”

Lucas had always been gentle in character, but he could no longer help himself from gritting his teeth.

“Do you then expect me to just let you off the hook so you can spend your days away with Sophia with

the child that you took from my sister?”

Zachary clarified, “That’s not what I meant. I don’t trust Sophia at all. If I believed everything from her

lips, I wouldn’t have found this opportunity to bring you here for a detailed discussion.”

Lucas gave him a puzzled look. “If you don’t trust her, why don’t you leave her and uncover the truth for

yourself?”

Zachary sighed self-deprecatingly and glanced at his crippled legs.” Believe me, I would me and

Sophia, you should be aware of the kind of influence that Sophia’s family has in

Molomia. I’m a disabled amnesiac. I can’t escape, and I don’t remember the people I once knew. I

wouldn’t be able to seek help from anyone even if

I could.”

Lucas looked at Zachary sitting in the wheelchair and noted that he lacked the vibrant energy Jeremy

once had. There was a weary, sickly air about him that seemed to be an obstacle for him to escape

Sophia’s control in Molomia.

Lucas suggested, “I can bring you back to your home now that I’ve located you. Are you willing to come

with me?”

It was a rare opportunity for freedom, and Lucas expected Zachary to agree.

Unfortunately, Zachary shook his head and said, “As someone with amnesia, both your statements and

Sophia’s are the same to me. It’s onesided. I find it difficult to trust either side completely.”

Lucas retorted with a cold sneer, “So you’re willing to continue staying with Sophia?”

Zachary lowered his gaze in deep contemplation and responded, “I’m more inclined to believe your

version of events for the sole fact that my son and Corinne’s son are the spitting image of each other.

While I won’t go back with you on an impulse, I don’t intend to stay with Sophia either. Sophia might not

let it slide under those circumstances, and we might risk the lives of innocent people. Sophia came

back to the country to deal with her father’s assets. After that, she plans to take Benjamin and me to a

private island she purchased. She wants to isolate US from the world. I hope you can lend me a hand

before that happens.”

Lucas eyed him warily and asked, “What sort of assistance do you need?”
