Chapter 0779

At the mention of the company that had belonged to his late wife’s parents, everything clicked for Marcus. Vincent Moriarty was the estranged son of Simon Stephenson his late wife’s father. Now it all made sense. Anthony and Vincent’s strange interest in him had a reason. The aunt Anthony had once mentioned was none other than Valentina Stephenson Moriarty.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me Valentina was your aunt?” Marcus asked in shock.

The revelation hit him like a bucket of cold water. He had never had the chance to meet this so–called brother. He knew his brother–in–law had hated him. He knew what a terrible father he was. But he had never imagined he would see him again. Even after everything that had happened, he had never stopped to wonder what had become of Simon and little Anthony.

“If I had told you the whole truth, you wouldn’t have cooperated the way you did. You would’ve focused on something else, and we wouldn’t have gotten this far,” Anthony said honestly.

“When Magnus contacted us, I didn’t think we would make it this far. My son was rising in politics–not because he wanted to be a governor or any of that nonsense. He wanted to be a judge. He wanted to punish people differently than you did,” Vincent added calmly.

“I still don’t understand your motives…” Marcus admitted, still struggling to piece it all together.
