Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 129

Theodore looked at Arthur’s contorted face as he was deluged with a sense of disappointment. “Do you know what you’re talking about, Arthur?”

Despite the smile on Arthur’s face, he appeared dispassionate. “I do know what I’m talking about.

You were the one who killed my parents with your car and made me an orphan. You were afraid

of retribution, so you took me in despite your unwillingness. I’ve found out about all that.”

“The incident is not like what you think, Arthur. The accident happened because your father was drunk driving. I happened to pass by the place and saw that you were the only survivor. At that

time, your face was covered in blood, and you were seated there alone. I didn’t have the heart to

see you suffer, so I decided to adopt you. How can you accuse me of killing your parents?”

As though having expected what the other man would say, Arthur sneered. “Mr. Winthrop, you should at least try to fabricate a story I have never heard before. I knew you were going to say that, so do you think I’ll believe you?”

A month ago, he accidentally found out that Theodore wasn’t his biological father. Instead, his father had been a lorry driver. Shocked and sorrowful, he went to a bar and got himself drunk.

The president of Alphascape Group happened to be there and broke the truth to him, which

solved the mystery that had been hidden from him for over 20 years.

He had always regarded Theodore as his father, but it wasn’t until that moment that he realized

Theodore had killed his parents. He had acknowledged a murderer as his father for a long time, and he wasn’t valued in the company. As such, he was determined to get his revenge.

When he saw how disappointed Theodore looked, he only thought that the other man felt guilty and didn’t dare tell him the truth. “Say no more. From now on, I’ll have nothing to do with the
