Chapter 385: 385: That Adulterer
Oh right, they were going to take their wedding pictures, Olivia Jenkins had completely forgotten.
“Dear, you should get some rest, I’m about to get breakfast, I’ll be waiting for you to come back.”
“Okay, Bye!”
The video call ended, and Olivia immediately opened her notes to jot down the date they were to take their wedding photos.
This meant she would have to cut her stay in Cross City short by a day, she needed to return earlier to try her wedding dress.
The next morning, Daniel Marshall took a helicopter to another city.
Daniel specifically went to see a butler who had once worked for the Marshall Family.
Although it had been twenty-seven years, the butler recognized Daniel at once.
“You look very much like your father, but your eyes, your eyebrows, they resemble your mother’s.” Unconsciously, the old butler’s thoughts fell deep into past memories.
With sincerity etched across his handsome features, Daniel furrowed his brows slightly and began to speak, seeming hopeful, “I hope, sir, you can tell me clearly about what happened in the past. I’m relying on you.”
The old butler sighed slightly, his gaze avoiding Daniel’s sharp look.
Considering his own numbered days, he was willing to divulge what he knew.
“Young Master, I am currently suffering from a fatal disease, you know that, right?”
Daniel nodded slightly, still staring intently at the old butler.
“It’s precisely because my time is short that I dare to tell you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare. In actuality, I don’t know much. I personally don’t believe your mother would have cheated. She loved your father too much to do such a thing.”
“My grandmother told me the same thing before her death, but there was no evidence. After all, my mother was caught in bed with another man by my father, and it was hard for her to defend herself.”
“Your mother was kind and careful in her actions, however, she found herself caught in such a situation. Bella Thompson was the only friend your mother had in Serene City. I remember answering the phone call that night. Bella asked your mother out. Bella had an urgent matter, and your mother went because she wanted to help her. Your father was supposed to be on a business trip abroad, but he happened to come back early.”
Daniel’s hand, clenched into a fist, had visibly whitened.
Daniel’s face darkened, he was working hard to suppress the anger that was threatening to burst out.
After a brief pause, the old butler continued speaking, aware that his words would likely provoke Daniel’s anger.
The old butler was also angry, but it was not his place, as a servant, to interfere.
Although many years had passed, the old butler hoped to restore justice for the lady of the house.
Back then, the lady of the house was chased out of the Marshall’s household, forbidden to see her own child. She carried all the shame and insults. The lady of the house was truly unfortunate.
“That adulterous man, I have never seen him. The only person in your mother’s circle was Bella Thompson, there were no men. I do not believe the photos that were used as evidence of her infidelity back then. It must’ve had something to do with Bella Thompson.”
“After leaving the Marshall family, I emigrated to Country M with my son. I met that man in Country M. He was dressed in branded clothes and appeared wealthy, which contradicted his previous penniless appearance. I suspect he must have received a huge sum.”
The butler’s trembling hands flipped open an old, yellowing folder, taking out a picture and handing it to Daniel.
“This is the man. I heard his name is Joseph Charles, and he is from the same hometown as your mother.”
Daniel clenched the picture, his dark eyes glaring intensely at the man in the photo. “Can I take this picture with me?”
The old butler nodded slightly, “After that, I haven’t seen him. I don’t know where he went to. Several years later, I randomly met someone from my hometown who said they saw your mother holding a little girl.”
