Chapter 1143

"Ahem." Luther subconsciously covered his thin lips with his hand to

stifle his laughter.

Karl frowned. He knew it. Complaints were just inevitable whenever he

called Michal.

"Mom, let me ask you. Has Cecelia ever been to our home and did she

take a photo of an old photo?"

He got straight to the point.

"Yes, how do you know?" On the other end of the phone, Michal's voice

raised a bit, "Mr. Gregory, you wouldn't send someone to follow me,

would you? What have you been up to recently? I haven't seen for such

a long time. You used to work so hard that you never pay attention to

your mother, now you have a girlfriend, but you still never pay attention

to your mother! I'll tell you what. If you do the same to Julia, you're

dead!"

"Ahem." Karl cleared his throat, and if he'd known he would not have

put it on speakerphone.

Luther uncomfortably darted his eyes elsewhere. Michal sounded

cheerful and spirited, and how could she have given birth to such a dull

and unsmiling son as Karl, but Michal's personality made him a good

match with Juanita.

He didn't realize that Cecelia had taken the photo at the Cole

residence.

So who was the person in the photo?

"Mom, what I'm about to ask is important. Who exactly is the person on

the photo?" Karl frowned.

"Oh, Mia Cole. you haven't heard of the name, I guess. She's my aunt.

For as long as I can remember, my family has never been allowed to

mention her. Anyone who mentioned it would get a good scolding from

my grandparents. So you don't know."

"She was such a beauty and she was even so gentle and

knowledgeable. In the end, she married Rodney, the military's

commander-in-chief, and later died tragically because of hemorrhage

during childbirth.”

At this moment, Karl and Luther both looked at each other.

The pupils of their eyes violently contracted.

So, that was it!

"Karl, you are well-informed, so what happened to the Heath family? Is

Cecelia okay? The other day Cecelia came to our home to pick up the

invitations and suddenly mentioned Mia, so I searched with her in the

study for a long time and found the only remaining photo of Mia in an

antique octavo box. After she took the picture, she left. Just why would

there be such an incident within the military.”

"Mom, I'm not sure what's happened to the Heath family. I don't know

exactly what's going on with Cecelia now either. No one has been able

to find out what's going on inside the military, since their communication

with the outside world has been cut off." Karl pursued, "You're saying

that after Cecelia took the photo, something happened to the military

the next day?"

"Right. I saw the official announcement the next evening from the TV."

Michal's voice trailed off, "Karl, does the photo thing have anything to

do with the military incident?"

"Maybe it's related.”

"Karl, the Heath family and we are after all relatives. You need to help

them. Especially Cecelia, I am very worried about her."

“I know. I'm in a hurry. I'll hang up now."

"Hey, hey, hey, when are you going to come back and take a look at ..."

Before Michal could finish his sentence, Karl was already impatient to

hang up the phone.

In the office, there was a steep silence.

It was so quiet that even the sound of the pendulum on the wall were

clearly audible.

The sound of their breathing were deep and rapid.

They looked at each other, and their eyes were all clear.
