Chapter 686

But of course, he couldn’t possibly say that to Oliver.

Still, his eyes were filled with clear disdain.

He even looked thankful to Oliver for telling him something so important.

That little bit of guilt he had felt for Kayla had vanished without a trace.

Unfortunately for Oliver, this wasn’t the end result he hoped.

In fact, the look on Julian’s face made it seem like what he had done worked against him instead.

Oliver was so furious, his accumulated feelings of inferiority and humiliation from years of being trampled under Julian’s feet and losing to the latter began arising in his chest.

And so, he decided to reveal the truth about Simon Channing.

“Julian Fulcher, you pride yourself in having everything under control and that nothing escapes your eye. But in actual fact, not only did you mistake your own savior, but you don’t even know that your parents left you with a biological younger brother!

Where’s your control?

Where is your power?!”

Oliver’s words were like an arrow that shot directly into Julian’s heart.

Occasionally, his heart would hurt due to the after-effects of his surgery.

Right now, he wasn’t sure whether his heart was hurting because of his wound, or because it was in deep pain.

After a moment’s thought, Julian decided he could let go of the fact that Diana hid the truth from him.

He didn’t mind it.

But Simon Channing…

“Are… Are you sure he’s my biological younger brother?”

“Yes, I am.” Oliver saw the dazed look in Julian’s eyes, and felt like he had finally gotten his revenge—it made him feel good. “If you don’t believe me, you can do a DNA test with him.”

As long as they confirmed their blood relation, the fact that Simon was Julian’s biological brother of the same father but different mothers would be indisputable.

“But there’s no need for that,” Oliver went on. “Simon was just born when he was sent to the Channings. It was your grandmother who personally pleaded with my father to never reveal his identity.

Otherwise, your mother would never tolerate him.

It was a point of humiliation for their wedding.

Your father had broken your mother’s heart completely.”

The more Julian listened to him, the more fantastic it sounded to him.

To him, his parents were extraordinary people.

They were also a very loving couple.

How could it be possible…

For his father to have an illegitimate son from nowhere?

And his most trusted grandmother was the one who personally sent him to the Channings to take care of him, to boot.

She even hid the truth from him for so many years, and brought this secret all the way to her grave.

Worried that Julian wouldn’t believe him, Oliver quickly added, “If you don’t believe me, just check out the many projects that the Channings collaborated with the Fulchers over the years. A large majority of them were approved by Madam Fulcher.”

She was a shareholder of Fulcher Inc. and had the right to do so.

‘They were all special approvals done to repay the Channings for taking care of Simon.”

The fact that they were special approvals showed that these projects might not have been up to standard. Yet, Madam Fulcher still let them pass. If Julian wanted to look into it, he just needed to retrieve the proposals of all the projects that Fulcher Inc. collaborated with the Channings.

Oliver’s claim seemed indisputable.

After Oliver left, Julian returned to the living room. He saw Diana still busying herself in the kitchen.

The pastries were all wrapped up, and she was covered in flour all over. She walked out of the kitchen and flashed Julian a bright smile, reaching out in an attempt to smear some flour on his face.

When she drew closer to him, however, she realized he didn’t look too good.

Diana immediately clapped the flour off her hands. ‘The talk didn’t go well?”

Julian finally snapped back to attention upon hearing her voice, and his face paled.

He suddenly felt very alone.

He felt as if he had fallen into a long, dark river and had been floating around in it for an eternity without any support or help whatsoever.
