Chapter 463 Risk His Son's Life
Joe finished his last sentence softly, his voice as calm as ever, but under his patient explanation, my thoughts became chaotic
His calmness made me feel exceptionally dirty if he really hadn't done anything to Aaron. Then my actions today were undoubtedly stabbing him in the heart
When his beloved younger brother had an accident, his brother's wife rushed to his house and launched a horrifying accusation against him. Such a situation would be difficult to accept for anyone, wouldn't it?
So I began to regret everything I had done and had to admit that I was actually an extremely
emotional woman. When my temper flared up, I could come here and question Joe regardless of
everything. After he comforted me, I would then fall into endless self-blame and regret
That night, I lay in bed, feeling the cold touch of the silk sheets on the bed beside me, repeatedly recalling the words Joe had said to me today at Morris Manor
I thought I should believe him. As a sensitive person, after he soothed and explained, I should no longer doubt him
But even in the midst of emotional turmoil, I still held onto a bit of rationality
I think I couldn't let go of any possibility, even if I started preparing for the worst from now on. If Aaron really disappeared in that sea area and never came back, I couldn't let this matter be
sealed. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will investigate the truth of the matter
Because this 1s all I could do now
Even Daisy is now unable to determine Aaron's exact location, and of course, I am also unable to search for him like Aaron did when he rushed to save me in Antarctica, disregarding everything
I could only stay in New York, seizing all possibilities before each long night fell, investigating the reasons for his disappearance, hoping to uncover the true cause of the accident in one of the investigations, and then have a specific direction to rescue Aaron
When I told Cinder all of this, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, but she eventually expressed her support
for my idea. "You're right, Olive. In a family like this, even brothers born from the same mother can harm each other in order to fight for an inheritance, let alone two people like Aaron and Joe who aren't even true brothers."
In fact, she herself was born into such a family
The situation in Cinder's family was even more complicated than that of the Morris family. She had been accustomed to the intrigues within the large family since childhood. The weak blood ties were no match for the temptations of money and power
Perhaps in the eyes of family members like them, brotherly affection is the most useless thing
"But Joe seemed a little sad." It was not until then that I slowly realized that the expression on Joe's face today, which I had interpreted as
"guilty," might have had another explanation
That was the emotion that arose after being doubted by the person I trusted the most, or it could be interpreted as feeling wronged
"Olive, under the current circumstances, no possibility can be overlooked." Perhaps due to being an observer, Cinder sounded much more sober than me. "If Joe is innocent, he will definitely not blame you for your impulsiveness today. He will understand your concern for Aaron."
These words made me feel relieved a lot. After my tense mood relaxed a little, I told Cinder all the things Joe had said to me today
She has always been a very good listener, but today, when I mentioned that Joe told me that all of his and Aaron's plans were arranged by
old Morris, Cinder couldn't help but interrupt me
If we consider this idea, everything has nothing to do with Joe, so the only one with a problem is their father, Mr. Morris
I could hear the hesitation in Cinder's words, and I felt the same absurdity as well
Power struggles within wealthy families are not uncommon, and the spectacle of siblings fighting each other is often seen in such households. However, as a father with only two sons, would old Morris really be ruthless enough to sacrifice one of his children for the sake of power?
I was instantly horrified by my own thoughts. "I can't believe it... Aaron said that Mr. Morris had once apologized to him when he was young. If
that's true... does it mean that he not only killed Aaron's mother but now also wants to plot against their only son's life?"
Did he really have the heart to continue walking on the path of power, which was paved with the fresh blood of his own flesh and blood?
