Facade of Love

Chapter 24 How Did You Know His Eyes Were Once Injured?

Charles looked somewhat bewildered and said, “Mrs. Young, you…”

“It was indeed at the border,” interrupted Mr. Zachary, who was entering from Madam Young’s courtyard. “Mrs. Young, Madam Young wants to see you.”

I nodded at him, gestured for Charles to continue with his duties, and followed Mr. Zachary to Madam Young’s courtyard.

As I followed behind him, I still had some questions on my mind. “Mr. Zachary, may I ask you some questions?”

He nodded. “Feel free to ask me anything, Mrs. Young.”

I paused before asking, “Did Moore and Idris meet at the border?”

Mr. Zachary nodded, looking back at me as he said, “Yes. Mr. Young was severely injured at the border years ago and happened to meet Ms. Moore there. She risked her life to get him back, even taking a bullet for him. Fortunately, it wasn’t fatal. Madam Young had planned to let Mr. Young marry her if she hadn’t suddenly married someone else back then.”

I pursed my l*ps, taking a deep breath. “So, the reason Madam Young agreed to help Scott Corporation two years ago and let Idris marry me was partly because she owed Moore a favor?”

Mr. Zachary thought for a moment, and said, “That’s part of the reason, but not entirely. Family alliances also benefit Young Corporation. Madam Young wouldn’t compromise the Young Corporation’s interests for the sake of a favor.”

That made sense.

I went quiet. No wonder Idris was so concerned about Moore earlier. This woman had gotten injured for him multiple times. If I were
