Chapter 485 - A Secret Revealed (1/2)

It was no wonder that Guan Gao Huan was shocked.

Xiong Wuyue was once the former rising Entertainment Queen. She was a former top model and was known as the Modelling Star. She was the princess of the Xiong family. She once stood over people's heads, someone powerful enough to dictate other's life and death.

But now...

There was no trace left of those fine and precious titles on the woman's face.

Xiong Wuyue lost her grandeur.

Her yellowed skin and her sunken cheeks were prominent. Since becoming thin, her eyes appeared bigger in their sockets. Her previously thin body now turned almost skeleton-like. Her hair lost its natural shine and became dull and yellow.

What was more surprising was the air she exuded.

The former Xiong Wuyue was indeed haughty and arrogant, but she still had the noble air of a pampered lady around her.

Right now, she was still haughty and arrogant, but her aura had transformed into something unnerving, like that of an insane patient from a mental hospital. It showed every time she let out a giggle or speak of senseless words, like now.

Guan Gao Huan exhaled and drank tea to collect himself.

The surprise in his eyes also faded.

Xiong Wuyue fell to this extent in just a few months?

It was true that the help of this useless woman's father was cut off and all her properties were on hold.

But surely, Xiong De must have left something behind for his beloved daughter, hidden properties like an unregistered villa, an underground firm, or saved money in an anonymous account.

Xiong De was a man with many sins after all. He would definitely leave an escape route.

Guan Gao Huan's thoughts were right.

Xiong De had prepared many routes beforehand.

However, when Xiong De was taken to prison so suddenly, Xiong Zhi immediately cut off those routes one by one. She did not even spare a single one.

Also, Xiong Wuyue herself was left behind by her manager and the servants of the mansion, and was not informed of most of those routes. And Xiong Wuyue's handling the situation just made things worst.

But Guan Gao Huan never really cared for this useless pair.

Their relationship was to use each other for their interests. And right now, he was the king and they were the pawns which he had thrown away.

Guan Gao Huan glanced at the door.

They were the only people left in this room.

The butler had left immediately after serving tea. This secret should not be known to anyone else, even his trustworthy aides must not know.

”Miss Xiong Wuyue, you seem convinced that I'm not the real Guan Gao Huan? That's really funny.”

Xiong Wuyue stopped giggling and raised her brow to Gao Huan.

”But you know it's true. I'm certain. My mind is very clear right now, I can see things I've never noticed before,” Xiong Wuyue said hoarsely.

Her large eyes seemed to absorb all light. ”That scar might have healed after so long, but there will be something remaining. And your eyes, they changed too.”

”People heal and change a lot from childhood to a.d.u.l.thood.” Gao Huan defended.

”No…” The woman insisted, her wide eyes still on him.

”I am certain. There's something inherently different in you. For sure, these changes in you would be known by those people who were close to you....Like your brothers.”

Guan Gao Huan's golden eyes flashed darkly.

”I've remembered that the real Gao Huan had been hospitalized when he was a child....” Then Xiong Wuyue jolted. Her eyes turned wide. It made the dark circles around her eyes more prominent.

”That's it! You probably switched with him when he was hospitalized. Am I right?”

The man before her did not answer.

The woman continued playing on the dangerous knife.

”...I wonder, if your family's head hear it, what would he think? If he did a paternity test, will it show? Hmm?”

Silence fell inside the dimly lit room.

Two people stared at each other.

It went on for a while, until the woman smiled crazily again and drank her tea with poise.

Guan Gao Huan suddenly laughed.

His laughter seemed gentle, but there was an underlying malice.

His other hand covered half of his face while laughing.

After laughing for a good while, he calmed down.

He leaned back on his chair and observed for a while.
