Theoretically speaking, it did not make sense at all.
Brettley had been in Banyan City and had never left in the past.
Thomas and his family, meanwhile, resided in Saigen City at Europa.
If Thomas’ mother rescued Brettley’s mother and brought her to Saigen City…then Brettley did not have the chance to see her mother.
The distance between Saigen City and Banyan City was more than several thousand kilometers!
Thomas sneered when he saw the perplexed look on Yannie’s face.
“Guess you’re not as stupid as I think you are.”
He sighed deeply again and told Yannie the story about Brettley’s mother.
Rianna and Eanne were twin sisters.
When Rianna was 20 years old, she met Adrian, a handsome ladies’ man.
In fact, he changed his name to Adrian because he was pursuing Rianna.
He wanted to tell Rianna his determination to surrender himself entirely to her.
Under his fierce pursuit, Rianna fell in love with Adrian very soon and married him in spite of everything.
However, after the marriage, Rianna found out Adrian pursued her not because he was in love with her.
At that time, Adrian was just a nobody in the Morrison family.
Brettley’s grandfather passed away a long time ago, and Granny Morrison knew Adrian was an incapable man and unworthy of taking over Morrison Group.
Thus, she never handed the authority over to Adrian.
Adrian knew he did not have the gift in him.
Hence, he put all of his hopes in his future wife.
Rianna was born into a famous noble family with a huge net worth and was talented in managing the business.
She became his target.
After Adrian and Rianna got married, Adrian kept forcing Granny Morrison to pass her authority to him.
He had the authority in his hands and let Rianna work for him.
As Rianna’s sister, Eanne saw everything that was happening.
She had many times talked Dp{! +b|d advised Rianna to leave Adrian, yet Rianna was stuck in the fantasy romantic world Adrian created for her.
She never once listens to her family and sister’s advice.
After that, she was pregnant and could not work hard to handle Morrison Group.
Granny Morrison ordered her to rest at home since her body was not doing well.
Shortly, Granny Morrison gradually took back control of the business.
When Adrian knew the power and money were slipping away from him, he began to smoke and felt disgust for Rianna, stemming from the bottom of his heart.
Hence, he locked up Rianna during her pregnancy and abused her.
There were a few times Rianna nearly suffered a miscarriage, but she did everything she could to keep Brettley.
Later, Adrian secretly transferred a huge sum of money away from Morrison Group and intended to use that money to travel around the world after Rianna died of a difficult birth.
Thus, he secretly made a plan to let Rianna die after the labor.
Things did not go as he planned.
After Rianna was pregnant, she continued to be hopeful with Adrian.
However, in desperation, she also looked for her sister and hoped Eanne could save her if she was in trouble.
Because of that, Eanne was able to rescue Rianna when she was nearly killed in the delivery room.
After that, Rianna became crazy and searched for her son every day.
The doctor said she missed her son too much, which caused her sickness.
She would only recover if she was to see her son Although Eanne hated the Morrison family, she was helpless with it.
When Brettley was five years old, Eanne brought the demented Rianna back to Banyan City in secret.
She wanted to let Rianna meet with Brettley secretly, and she did.
However…
Brettley was too well-protected that he treated Rianna as a bad person.
He used his phone to seek help and sent a photo of him with Rianna to Adrian, who had just returned to Banyan City after a vacation.
He pleaded with his father to rescue him.
Once Adrian got the news, he immediately sent someone to capture Rianna and Eanne from the kindergarten. In addition, he humiliated and insulted Rianna right in front of Eanne before sending Rianna off to a mental asylum. Three days later, Adrian released Eanne, who rushed to the mental asylum and discovered Rianna had unfortunately taken her life. Rianne’s lifeless hand grasped tightly a letter she had written after she became insane. It was a letter to Brettley, and there were only two sentences in the letter
[I’m your mother. Brettley, I love you.]
Eanne held Rianna’s dead body in her arms and cried for a long time. Before she left Banyan City, she found out Rianna wanted to see Brettley before she died, but her request was denied.
The people who returned the message said Brettley said his mother had passed away a long time ago. He even said his mother was a smart woman, not a deranged person.
After that, Eanne never allowed anyone in the Moore family to mention Brettley and the Morrison family. She felt Brettley had the same blood coming from Adrian, that he was cold blooded, ruthless, and only cared about money.
“But…”
After Thomas finished the story about Brettley’s mother, Yannie opened her mouth wanting to say something, but she did not know what to say.
She only knew about Brettley from her mother and Bethan. The only interaction she had with Brettley was the short period when Brettley asked her to collect Thomas’ DNA samples.
All the time, she thought Brettley was a good person because her mother, Mrs. Flores and Bethan had praised him well. This was the first time she found out Brettley’s father was a scumbag and how miserable Brettley’s mother was.
“But what?”
Thomas raised his eyebrows and shifted into a more comfortable position on the chair as he stared at Yannie. “After all that I said, are you going to tell me Brettley is innocent? Yes, he was innocent when Adrian tried to kill my aunt when she was giving birth. He was a newborn and couldn’t do anything at that time. But what about five years later?
“He was five years old that year. He couldn’t recognize his own mother Gs &*d}f even did something that hurt my aunt so badly. He’s an accomplice to my aunt’s death!”
After that, Thomas closed his eyes. “The blood in his body belongs to that scumbag, so he, too, is a scumbag. Otherwise, why did Bethan leave him in that way when she was three months pregnant seven years ago?”
He knew Brettley too well. That was why he rushed over to Merchant City after knowing Riley was in Brettley’s hand.
Because of that, he did not dare to visit Riley as he liked.
“But…”
Yannie sighed. “I don’t think Brettley did it on purpose when he was five years old.”
If she was a five–year–old and people around her told her that her mother was dead, she would not possibly believe the word of a crazy woman if she was to say that she was her mother.
Thomas snorted and said nothing. Yannle sighed again. “And… You said it yourself: your aunt, who is Brettley’s mother, is a good person. How are you sure that Brettley only took after his father’s genetics and not his mother?
Thomas furrowed his brow and said nothing to Yannie’s words.
Yannie, assuming that Thomas was considering her logic with his silence, slowly persuaded him, “Thomas, I know you don’t like Brettley that much, but you can’t just determine that he’s terrible because his father was a scumbag and how naive he was when he was five years old.”
No matter how Yannie was reluctant to believe Thomas, she could tell whether Brettley was a scumbag or not. All this time, she knew how Brettley’s attitude was when treating her mother, Bethan, his three children, and Riley.
Moreover… Thomas had been in Merchant City for more than a month. Ever since the first day he arrived, he went after Brettley and Bethan, even using being the ambassador of Bethan’s jewelry company to threaten Bethan. Despite Thomas’ challenges and provocation, Brettley did nothing but had Yannie gather Thomas’ DNA specimens in exchange for payment. Brettley tolerated, understood, and took care of Thomas.
Yannie did not believe a man like Brettley was what Thomas said he was.
