Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170

Hannah thought that Zeke would catch her hint since she had made it so obvious.

Hence, she left after saying those words.

On the other hand, Zeke was left in great puzzlement as he tried to decipher her words.

“Did mom ask for two extra eggs for Lacey because she thought there wasn’t enough nutrition in Lacey’s breakfast? But Lacey has been having a great appetite lately. So much so that her stomach is starting to swell. Also, Mom didn’t mind my smoking in the past. Why did she tell me to quit suddenly? Bad for the child? So it seems no matter how old Lacey is right now, she’s still a child in her parents’ eyes.”

At the Thisleton Manor.

Julian, who was crippled, lay on his bed with the help of his servants.

No matter how hard he tried, he just could not fall asleep.

Now that he was a cripple, he no longer had a place in the Thisleton family.

If Lacey were to return to the family, then where would he stand?

What should I do? He heaved a heavy sigh.

Creak!

In the dark and silent night, a creaking noise sounded.

It sounded like someone opening a wardrobe.

Instantly, Julian tensed up.

The first thought that came into his mind was that an assassin had broken into the house.

Just as he was about to shout, a warm hand covered his mouth abruptly.

“Hush, Julian. It’s me.”

Julian shuddered.

It was the voice of his mother, Lilith Goldace.

Didn’t she escape in fear of punishment when the earlier incident was uncovered? Why is she here?

After recollecting himself, Julian asked, “Mom, why are you here?”

Lilith whispered, “Don’t speak, Julian. I’ll bring you somewhere.”

Julian asked again, “Where to?”

Lilith answered, “You’ll find out when you’re there. You can’t walk, so I’ll carry you.”

Pretending to be one of the servants, Lilith sneaked out of the Thisleton Manor with Julian on her back.

Outside the Thisleton Manor, a car was waiting for them.

After they boarded the car, it drove off.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in a small village.

Julian instantly recognized that this village was the one relying on the Thisleton family for its survival.

The villagers here made a living by selling their agricultural products to the Thisleton family.

After getting down from the car, Lilith carried Julian into a shabby house.

In the house, a towering man was fully focused on his book.

It seemed like he did not notice their arrival.

Julian looked at the man, baffled. “Who is he?”

After placing Julian on the chair, Lilith stepped forward to pat the man’s shoulder. “Sir, I’ve brought him here.”

“Good,” the man answered as he turned around.

A shudder ran through Julian’s body, and he nearly fell off from his chair.

Bloodsworth was the head of the Bloodsworth Syndicate and the archenemy of Eurasia.

Oh my god. Bloodsworth is in Eurasia, and he’s hiding so close to Ares!

What was more shocking to him was that it seemed like his mother had pledged loyalty to Bloodsworth.

There were too much information to digest at one go and it took Julian some time to recover his shock.

In fact, Julian was still unaware of the fact that Bloodsworth had assumed the identity of his father, Ares, two years back.

It was purely coincidental for Lilith to pledge loyalty to Bloodsworth.

After she escaped from the Thisleton Manor, she encountered Bloodsworth.

Bloodsworth then captured her and gave her two choices.

She could choose to pledge loyalty to him, or he would send her back to the Thisleton family.

Lilith knew that she would be doomed if she returned to the Thisleton family.
