Chapter 653
Sometime later, news went around that the Universe Group might be planning to join the theme park project.
Dora also came across the details of the news on a financial TV station.
She was very shocked.
These days, most people active in the business world knew that theme park project was a big piece of cake, and if you could get it right, you would definitely make a lot of money.
Originally, the Stone family and the Moran family could have fully taken over the project; thus, even though the Todd family was also tempted to take part in the project, they did not want to get involved in it.
After all, it was a really big cake. No one would be willing to share it with yet another person.
Then suddenly, the Bowman family got involved. This really surprised Dora. She couldn’t stop thinking that if one more family was entitled to share the cake, then why couldn’t it be her family? The Todd family?
Wasn’t Wyatt’s relationship with Maurice as solid as ever? How could Maurice prefer to have Jonathan added to this project, rather than give the Todd family a chance to prove themselves?
Dora lamented bitterly that the Todd family had missed a golden opportunity to make a big profit.
As these thoughts reeled through her head, Wyatt slipped into the room.
“Wyatt, so you still remember the way back home?”
Dora walked up to him, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She had asked her son to go for a blind date, but he had clearly not gone there.
Then she picked up the strong smell of alcohol from him.
“Were you drinking? What happened to you, Wyatt? Why did you stand the girl up?”
Wyatt glanced at his mother with a long face.
Without warning, he suddenly flung a pile of documents down in front of Dora and angrily asked, “Mom, can you explain what these documents mean to me?”
Dora was confused. She slowly reached down and picked up the documents. As soon as she read the content of the documents, her expression changed instantly.
These were all documents of Nicole’s mother, Kyra, who had been treated for heart disease at a time in the hospital.
It clearly recorded the time when Kyra was sick, the treatment process, and her attending doctor who had a deep relationship with the Todd family.
“Mom, tell me the truth today. What really happened that time? I want to hear the truth. Why did you have to find a doctor for Nicole’s mother?”
Wyatt kept his gaze fixed on Dora’s face, as if searching for the truth there.
He knew his mother well. Dora was a profit-oriented person. Every move she made was to her own benefit. Every action she took was to ensure that she could make more money. She didn’t know Nicole at that time, but she was willing to help her mother find a famous doctor. There had to be an ulterior motive for that action she took.
As a matter of fact, he already had his answer in his heart. It was a vague explanation, but…
Wyatt asked again, “Mom, did Nicole promise you anything in return? Is that why you were willing to help her?”
Dora dropped the documents and flew into a fit of rage. “Wyatt, you’re my son. How can you be so rude to me? Have you forgotten that I’m your mother? Why are you disrespecting me because of this issue?”
“Mom, I just want to know the truth. That’s all I want to know.” Wyatt maintained his stance and refused to back down.
“Okay. I’ll tell you what you want to know.” Dora gritted her teeth. “At that time I did contact Nicole, but I also had good intentions and wanted to help her mother recover from that terrible illness that was plaguing her. But this woman was so ungrateful that she left without hesitation when you needed her the most after that car accident! I really regret helping her. I didn’t mention this earlier because I didn’t want to hurt you. Do you still wish to speak for such a bad and ungrateful woman now?”
Wyatt’s eyes were filled with disappointment after he heard his mother’s statement.
“Mom, why are you lying again?”
Dora’s heart skipped a beat. However, she maintained her composure and asked, “Lying? I don’t understand what you mean by that, Wyatt.”
Wyatt stared hard at her and said, “If all you have said to me is the truth, then you should loathe Nicole very much. But why did the Todd family sponsor Nicole’s first movie which made Nicole become famous? Why was it sponsored by our family? Mom, I need you to explain it to me. Can you do that?”
Dora was stunned. How did he find out? There was an expression of shock on her face as she stared at her son.
She had done all these things carefully and without the knowledge of anybody, but she had not anticipated that Wyatt would manage to find out everything. novelbin
Now she was stuck. There was no better excuse she could use to cheat him.
Dora sighed heavily and took in a deep breath. She dropped all the pretenses and said, “It seems that you have indeed grown up a lot in the past few years. You now have the guts to question your mother in such a condescending manner. Do you want to break away from the Todd family for that woman?”
His tone softened a little, but the expression on his face still remained very serious.
“Mom, no matter what you say, I have to know the truth today. I choose to come to you first, instead of just going straight to ask Nicole. This is just because I respect you. I hope you won’t let me down again.”
Knowing she could no longer hide the truth, Dora sat down slowly on her chair and made up her mind to tell her son the truth.
“You want to know the truth? Okay, I’ll tell you everything. Get ready, Wyatt. Here comes the truth you have been craving!”
