Chapter 940

The atmosphere instantly turned solemn as the air grew thick with sorrow.

“Can you tell me what exactly happened back then?” Quinton asked, lowering his voice. “Even though the Everheart family abandoned me, I have the right to know the truth.”

“No, it’s not like that, Mr. Quinton. Please don’t misunderstand Mr. and Mrs. Everheart. They never abandoned you. They loved you just as much as they loved Miss Ren. However, an accident did happen that year.”

With a sad face and enduring heartache, Margaret told them the tragic events that happened 28 years ago.

“At that time, everyone was happy that Mrs. Everheart was pregnant with twins. They picked the greatest private hospital for your and Miss Ren’s arrival on the day of your birth. Finally, both of you were born safely. But then a gang of thugs burst into the delivery room and kidnapped you and Miss Ren. Madam had just given birth to you two and was weak, so she could only protect Miss Ren and watch you being taken away by those people…”

“Damn it!”

Renee was furious. “Those people were far too brave. I recall that that time was the peak period for the Everheart family. We were once The Great Eight of Beach City. Only the Hunt family came close to our wealth. How were those people so bold?”

“Yes. We want to know too how could they be so brave!”

Margaret gritted her teeth, and her body shuddered with wrath. “At that time, Mrs Everheart was so depressed and lost so much blood that she almost died. The Everheart family exerted all their might to locate Mr. Quinton, but there was no news at all in the end.”

“After three months, Mrs. Everheart was diagnosed with depression because she missed Mr. Quinton so much.” She tried to end her life numerous times but was unsuccessful. Mr Everheart completely lost interest in continuing the business. It was then that the Everheart family began its road to downfall.

Several families saw the opportunity and stole the Everheart family’s businesses!”

“Then I was abandoned in a small village and never met my parents anymore?”

“No. At that time, the Hunts had a good relationship with the Everhearts as they were the only family who didn’t take advantage of them. Mr. Hunt utilized his contacts to locate you in an abandoned factory.

But…”

Margaret shook her head slowly. “But we were late. When you were transported to the hospital, you had stopped breathing. The Everheart family buried you beside the mountain and river and cleaned up all your traces, and left just a quilt as a memento that you existed. Soon after, it was as if you had never existed.”

“Hahaha. Is that my destiny to never exist before?” Quinton questioned with a sad face.

He couldn’t understand why his life had been so difficult since birth.

It wasn’t always because he chose the bad path but because he was already in a dark path from the beginning.

“Did they find out who kidnapped me?” His face was flushed as he choked and questioned Margaret.

“No.”

She shook her head again. “Because there was still Miss Ren to look after, Mr. and Mrs. Everheart decided to stop thinking about it, and none of us ever mentioned you anymore.”

Renee sympathized with Quinton. She patted his shoulders and comforted him, “Brother, believe me, they might say they want to forget you, but they never once forgot you. I’ve always seen Mother holding onto the quilt and crying. I didn’t know why then, but it appeared because they missed you.”

She had always assumed that the quilt with the unique print had been used to wrap her, but she recently discovered that it was also used on Quinton.

“Of course, I’m aware that they never forgot about me. It’s just that they have no idea I’m still alive. I’ve never blamed them, I only loathe the people who took me away.”

Quinton clenched his fist, his eyes filled with rage. “I’m guessing the person who took me away, bankrupted the Everheart family and killed Mom and Dad is the same person.”

“How come you’d say that? Do you have any clues?” Renee asked sharply.

“I have some, but I’m unsure… I’ll let you know when I get solid evidence.”
