He frowned and asked the driver to start the car. The scenery outside the car went past unhurriedly.
After a long time, he slowly said, "Your impression of Grandma may be that she was an authoritative woman who
valued family interests, but that’s far from the truth. She was only doing everything she could to secure the
business that Grandpa fought hard for many years. She had a very ordinary dream. She worked a nine-to-five job
like ordinary people. She did not need to have too much money but just enough to feed a family. She just wanted
to have a child of her own whom they could raise together. She wanted to live every day searching for happiness
amidst mediocrity.
"After Grandpa passed away, Grandma faced the risk o f having Grant Corporation being wiped out for she had
never been involved in business. She made the decision to move her family to Salt City and brought a child from
her hometown. That child was Samantha. A s this child was an illegitimate child, Grandma pitied her and took
her away with her."
Theo had never toldstories about the Grants' past, hence | was extremely drawn to the story.
He glanced atand gently sighed. "Grandma was

not willing to lose half of the business that Grandpa had worked so hard to build, so she sentto study i n
Whaldorf City alone afterward. That was when | befriended Mason and Zedd.”
After a pause, he continued, "If Samantha hadn't secretly made a trip to Whaldorf City to see me, she would
probably still be alive by now. When Grandma learned that she wanted to follow me, she permitted her to stay in
Whaldorf City to receive her education. A s the days passed, she fell in love with Mason, but Mason was
indifferent to her.”
| pursed my lips. "Mason later fell in love with her too, right?"
Theo chuckled bitterly. "It was too late when he realized it. Under Samatha’s pursuit, Mason eventually agreed,
but Samatha found out that Mason was merely dating her on a whim and he did not actually like her. After an
argument, Samantha asked t o break up."
| asked hesitantly, "Did she choose to end her life because of this?"
Theo squeezed his eyes shut as his body trembled a little.
This was my first tseeing this man so uneasy.
I held his hand, and he opened his eyes. | noticed that his eyes were slightly red.
"You can stop now." | felt a little heartbroken as well."
Don't recall the past if you don't want to."
"It makes sense that Mason hates me."
Theo said it anyway. Perhaps these things had been suppressed in his heart for too long that he needed to get
them out. "That day, | was reading a contract when Samantha gavea call. When | answered it, she didn't tell
Mason. | actually believed her."
Theo's eyes grew even redder. "She had always been a good girl who never told a single lie. The only tshe
lied actually cost her her life. After calling me, she went to the pub to have a drink by herself and was met with
an accident.”
| suddenly thought of his and Grayson’s conversation i n the hospital. | felt my heart drop.
"When Mason and | found her, she was lying in the alley at the back of the hotel like a broken rag doll. After

Theo lowered his head, his body trembling even more than before. "After she was sent to the hospital, the doctor
announced that she could never conceive."
My heart trembled as | subconsciously clenched my fists. My breathing beclaborious as well.
How could a woman not feel the urge to commit suicide after something like that happened?
"Did Grayson find someone to do it?" | asked carefully.
However, it did not make sense because Grayson had n o dealings with them at the time.
Theo shook his head. "He didn't ask anyone to do it, but he couldn't get away with it either. Grayson knew he
was being targeted and was anxious to clear his name, so he kicked out all the useless rascals working in the
pub. They resented Grayson, so they constantly smeared the Louises' good nand committed all sorts of vile
acts."
I think | understood now. Mason blamed Theo for the incident as he believed in Samantha’s lie and he did not
pick her up to bring her home. He thought that Theo should have suspected that something was amiss when «
Samantha kept crying and immediately went to get her.
