Chapter 183

Charles suddenly brought up the topic of my biological mother, the one who I had thought about ever since I came out of the public notary office!

I still did not know who it was that sent me to the Felixs.

The number that my father gave me was the contact number for Shawn's mother. He said that she was my real mother.

However, she was not.

My real mother was not a person like her.

On top of that, she had denied being my mother as well.

For some reason, I knew that this puzzle could be solved by Charles.

I heard him explain, "Miss, it was your blood mother who sent you to the Felixs 24 years ago, but she only handed you over to the old madam because she trusted her at that time."

This really did happen 24 years ago. It would be Christmas Eve a few days later, marking my 24th birthday!

Time really does pass by so fast.

Another year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Too many things had happened this year, and I did not really get to rest.

Hearing this, I bravely deduced, "And that time, the old madam sent me to the Felixs behind your master's back, so in actuality, he did not even know I existed or that the woman had birthed his child, right?"

Wearing a three-piece suit and a tall hat, Charles dressed like a person from the olden days as he replied, "Yes. If it weren't for us noticing the strange behavior of the madam, we would not have found you through investigation, and the old master wouldn't even have known the truth after his passing."

With a wrinkled face, tears suddenly formed in Charles' eyes as he said angrily, "The family places bloodline first and foremost. By doing what she did, the old master was already being very lenient when he presented her with this choice!"

His sudden outburst stunned me. At the same time, he also composed himself after finding himself overly agitated. "Back then, the old master was also exiled just like Mr. Xenos when he was still young and came back first when he was twenty years old! He saw with his own eyes how his elder brothers were drowned. Even though the old master was livid, he was helpless then, as he didn't possess the ability to save them!"

Pausing, he continued, "This old rule of the family was indeed cruel, but the old master could not change the past. He had secretly sworn to let his sons live and work in the family no matter who won. Yet, the madam actually conspired with Mr. Xenos to harm the three other young masters. This was why the old master wanted him dead, even though he knew how much you loved Mr. Xenos! Because he is a cruel man, and the old master was afraid you might be taken advantage of by him!"

Hearing this, I quickly spoke up for Shawn, saying, "No! Shawn had said that he wanted to save his brothers!"

My words stunned Charles before he frowned and said, "Maybe we've all been deceived by the madam. But now, the truth no longer matters! Miss, I will tell you your mother's whereabouts now. It'll be up to you if you want to reunite with her or not."

Charles then handed the note to me. Taking it, I saw that it was an address in Fisoka with a phone number attached to it.

Seeing this, I asked, "Who is she?"

"Your mother was married to a duke in Fisoka 24 years ago, making her a duchess now. But, the two had not conceived even till now. I believe she will find you when it's time, since they don't have an heir to inherit their possessions."

Charles' words had a hint of ploy in them.

He felt as if this incident could help propel the family to even greater heights.

I did not share his thoughts. Just as I was about to dismiss him, I suddenly thought of the transplanted kidney in my body.

Curious, I asked him, "Who donated this kidney to me?"

Charles knew what I was about to ask.

Hearing this, he answered, "It was your mother."

"The Duchess?" I asked.

Charles replied, "Yes."

"How did she know that I was sick?"

After a brief moment of silence, I said puzzlingly, "If she was the one who donated the kidney to me, she should have known about my situation in the Felixs, but she chose to ignore me for so many years."

"Miss, you should ask the old madam about this."

Charles wanted me to ask Eliza about this.

Seeing me fall silent, Charles said, "I've completed my mission in the Xenos Family, so Miss, I don't think we'll be seeing each other ever again."

Even though the elder in front of me was smart, loyal, competent and a proven asset of the family, I also found him to be the most irritable man to me right now!

Waving my hand, I said, "I wish you all the best then."

After Charles had left, I took the map with me and went back to the apartment before throwing it on the bed and heading to the kitchen.

After having my lunch, I went back to retrieve that map. In actuality, it was a document, listing all the resources the Xenos Family had placed throughout the world.

No wonder everybody feared the Xenos Family. It was because they did have enough power!

Standing up, I locked the map inside a safe together with the two rings.

Taking out the two rings, I placed them together before looking at the numbers carved on the inside of the rings.

What do these numbers mean?

Is this Morse Code?!

I did not know much, nor was I too interested in this.

Putting the rings back into the safe, I then saw a line of words on the map, stating, 'The supreme Xenos Family.'

The supreme Xenos Family…
