Chapter 1349 Yates didnât respond, just stared at him icily, as if telling him that he just had to follow his order, no more chatter.
Sheldon, not one to squabble with an older man, pulled out his cell phone and dialed the butler right in front of him.
The butler was really old, and he had his grandson answer his calls.
Sheldon asked the butler about Vanya. The butler rambled on and on, much to Yatesâ annoyance.
Fearing Yatesâ wrath, Sheldon finally exclaimed, âHey, Greg... Can you hear me? If you can, tell me why my grandfather adopted Vanya!â
Gregâs voice was shaky and unclear, âWhat... I canât hear you...â
Sheldon looked at Yates, âShould we drop it?â
Yates grabbed the phone, his voice cold, âIf you donât speak up, Iâll send someone to wipe out your entire family!â
There was a moment of silence on the other end before the voice regained composure, âWho are you?â
âI am Vanyaâs father!â Yates replied.
âOh, itâs you,â Greg said, âThe master said if you were the one looking for him, heâd tell you.â
Sheldon was stunned. Had Greg been pretending to be stupid?
Yatesâ voice was icy, âSpeak!â
Greg, who was just following orders, had been instructed by Sheldonâs grandfather not to speak of Vanyaâs past to anyone unless her biological father came asking.
Sheldonâs group, always curious, had made Greg pretend to be senile to avoid any slip-ups.
Now that Vanyaâs biological father had come calling, Greg relayed everything as instructed.
Sheldonâs grandfather was a friend of Paulineâs sister. She had left her child in her sisterâs care. But her sister fell ill and couldnât look after the child, so she handed her over to Sheldonâs grandfather and gave him all of Paulineâs money.
Pauline resented Yates. After all, he had killed Paulineâs first love in secret to win her over and tricked her into thinking her first love didnât want her Pauline was unaware of the truth, and believed her first love had left her and slowly fell for Yates. But Yates couldnât marry her.
By then, Pauline was pregnant, but Yates forced her to break up with him and married someone else. In her anger, Pauline left him.
After giving birth, she encountered an enemy of her family. The enemy, whose origins were unknown, was after her family.
Pauline didnât want to endanger her child, so she left her beloved daughter with her best friend while she and her sons stayed on the run.
When Yates came looking for her, he found Pauline had been tortured to death.
A deep sadness spread across Yatesâ aged face when he learned the truth. He had thought Pauline had given up their child out of spite, not out of desperation.
After knowing that Pauline was driven to such a state by the Siren Organization, Yates hated the organization even more!
If it wasnât for Eleanor, he would turn Bernard into a bio-human and throw him into a blender!
Yatesâ fists clenched, veins bulging. Seeing this, Sheldon instinctively defended Bernard.
âThat was the work of the original Siren Organization. Bernard had nothing to do with it...â
The original Siren Organization was called Darkness, a long-standing organization that had committed many atrocities. But Bernard wasnât even born back then. How could he be blamed for everything?
âThey are all the same!â Yates roared.
Just thinking that his granddaughter was married to such a man, Yates was filled with rage.
âHe may be like the rest, but heâs Eleanorâs husband. Donât you plan to spare him for Eleanorâs sake?â
Yates scoffed, âIf it wasnât for Eleanor, do you think heâd still be alive?â
Sheldon frowned, âHeâs still your granddaughterâs husband, and Eleanor is carrying his child. Once the baby is born...â
Yates interrupted him coldly, âAre you saying the Pine family hasnât suffered enough at the hands of the Siren Organization, or that the Laurence family doesnât hate the Pine family enough??
Sheldon was speechless. By rights, the Pine family should hate the Laurence family and Siren Organization, but for some reason, he didnât feel as much hatred as he should. Could it be that his guilt towards his sister outweighed his hatred?
