Chapter 891: 017 Smoke Disperses, Clouds Disappear_4

He thought that since his son was back and so much time had passed, he might as well let it go. But now, suddenly hearing Ellie Wilton cry out like that, he wasn’t just being sensitive, he felt even stronger that the so-called accident must not have been an accident.

"What do you mean, what is this about being separated from flesh and blood by someone’s doing, Anna, don’t deceive me, is someone harming you and Ryan, is that it?" Marcus Parker held Ellie Wilton in his arms and asked her directly.

Ellie Wilton cried even harder. In Marcus Parker’s arms, she nodded vigorously, admitting his suspicion was correct, indeed someone was harming them, and the two people doing so made her feel cold-hearted, frightened.

"Who is it?" Marcus Parker’s eyes narrowed. If that person was still alive, he would never let them go. If they were dead, he would find a shaman to ensure their soul would not rest in peace.

Ryan Parker was listening and watching from the side, unsure of how to comfort them. He had never doubted the fire because everyone involved in the investigation had said it was an accident, and everyone had believed it.

At that time, he was also young and even less likely to overthink it. He only harbored resentment towards the mother he mistakenly thought had abandoned him, and then he started a new life.

But now, the original accident had turned out to be man-made, and Ellie Wilton was still enduring such a huge blow. At this time, what Ellie Wilton needed most was her father’s care.

"Tell me, Anna, dear, I will make things right for you," Marcus Parker coaxed. The truth he couldn’t find, since Ellie Wilton knew who it was, then as soon as she revealed it, he would take action.

"It’s no use, they’re all dead, dead," Ellie Wilton shook her head, not knowing how to describe the complex thoughts in her heart. She had just wanted to take out her hatred for Hannah Browman on her children, but now seeing Marcus Parker, whose children bore half of his blood, even though she hated Hannah Browman to death, she loved Marcus Parker.

Thinking about him, she couldn’t bring herself to follow through with her thoughts of revenge, but her heart still ached.

"..." Marcus Parker, hearing her use the word "they," felt his once certain heart waver. Previously, he had suspected Hannah Browman—could it be that his mother was involved in this matter too?

Logically, it seemed unlikely. He knew his mother. If she found out Ellie Wilton had a child, no matter the gender, she would definitely want to bring them back home to raise. His mother was a traditional woman who would neither allow him to abandon his wife and child nor let his bloodline wander outside.

What’s more, if his mother knew about Ellie Wilton’s child, while she might allow them to be separated, she would never intend to personally harm her own grandson.

"Is it Hannah Browman, who else? Anna, tell me?" Marcus Parker’s eyes suddenly tightened. He knew that if he didn’t suggest it first, Ellie Wilton probably wouldn’t say anything.

"You knew? When did you find out?" Ellie Wilton looked at Marcus Parker with red eyes. At this moment, she even began to suspect that Marcus Parker was capable of killing her own child; she was probably a little mentally disturbed.

"Ryan recovered his memory and mentioned the fire. I remember that day, you said it was Ryan’s birthday, and it was also my mother’s birthday. You should remember, right? But that year, Hannah Browman did not show up, so I had some suspicions. I later sent people to investigate the incident of that year, but probably because so much time had passed, the people I sent out found nothing, so I let the matter rest," Marcus Parker sighed and explained, "I truly didn’t expect it to actually be that heartless woman. Don’t worry, even if she is dead, I will make sure her spirit does not rest in peace. I will not allow her memorial tablet in our Parker Family home. To have done such an atrocious act, our Parker Family does not acknowledge such a daughter-in-law."

Ryan Parker was relieved to hear his father’s stance. In many countries, the law tends to let go of the dead, meaning no matter the crime, once the criminal dies, all punishment is lifted.

But their father had no intention of forgiving that woman, even though he was still alive, and even though the woman had been dead for over three years. For Z Country people, being expelled from the husband’s family after death really wasn’t a good thing.
