Chapter 988 Enlightenment Teacher (1/2)

Arthur reflectively shook his head and said matter-of-factly, ”It has been a long time. The people arranged to go HA City at that time have long gone. Even if we figure out the truth, it would be hard to gather any evidence.

At any rate, I still requested someone to inquire about it. As long as there is any new information, I'll surely track it down.”

Carla gently nodded in agreement. And after a while, she bluntly spoke her mind, ”Grandpa, what people in Yu Sea City value most is the moral codes and etiquette. If we can find the evidence, it'll unquestionably outweigh anything else.”

Still looking intently at her, Arthur readily agreed, ”That's right.

Dorothy secretly posted someone to slip in and blend among the people I especially arranged to deliver the gifts. At that time, you were still a baby, and she intended to take you away. It was all for her selfish interests, that she even didn't care about her entire family. If this disgraceful thing spreads like wildfire, it will have a far-reaching impact on her and her daughters' reputation in Yu Sea City.”

Andrea, who was keenly following Arthur and Carla's conversation, suddenly fell into a daze. Her face turned ghastly pale.

Her mind was in chaos as a myriad of thoughts raced wildly in her head. Although many years had passed, she could never calm herself down every time people brought up the painful past.

”That's more likely. Chances are, he conscientiously planned most of the unthinkable things that Dorothy executed. I know who he is, and I'll send someone else to spy on him right away,”

Arthur concluded. He wore a formidable expression as his fingers touched his grey beard.

Andrea's emotions were still in turmoil while being reminded of those events in the past. Feeling too uncomfortable, she hastily stood up and gingerly made her way towards the window, intending to take in some fresh air.

”Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?”

Carla instinctively asked as she hurriedly ran after her. She felt alarmed, noticing how pale her mother's face was. So she quickly reached out for Andrea's arm to give her support.

”That fateful event of that year made me live through these years with a heavy and aching heart. By then, my sister turned into a stranger to me.

With a gloomy sigh, Andrea darted a glance at Steven and then at Carla before probing, ”Tell me the truth, why does Mr. Su know so much about this matter?”

Maybe it was because Andrea had no inkling or didn't keep up with what was going on between Carla and Steven. Or, more likely, she was feeling somewhat uncomfortable now, remembering that she used to have some unpleasant experiences with Steven's father.

”Mom, do you feel uncomfortable because of what occurred back then, or is it because of Steven?”

Carla spoke in a barely audible voice, quickly throwing a glimpse at Steven.

Andrea gently shook her head, not feeli
