Chapter 531: Chapter 530: You’re Wrong, I Have a Fiancée
The man on the other end of the phone spoke more enthusiastically, "When I looked into this I wasn’t intending to gossip, just checking around, but found that Laura Locke had been amnesiac for over ten years, and only regained her memory five years ago, then changed her last name to Rhodes. His own wife still reminiscing about her late husband, this must be terribly humiliating for Wesley Caldwell, who likes to put on airs, so he kept this news under wraps. These five years he rarely brought Laura along to any events, so not many people know about this. And those who know wouldn’t want to cross Wesley Caldwell over a piece of gossip. After all, the Caldwell Family has been developing very well these past twenty years, although it’s not as deep-rooted and influential as your Sinclair Family, it has already exerted considerable influence in Creston."
"Wesley Caldwell is very adept at managing, having great connections in the political, business, and underworld circles," Damian Sinclair said, "The Caldwell Family’s business has quite a few shady dealings."
"Once the business expands, even if not outright illegal, there’ll surely be dealings in the grey areas," the man on the other end of the phone said. "Who knows, maybe sometime the Caldwell Family’s business will come into conflict with your Sinclair Family. Want me to dig deeper into Wesley Caldwell?"
"Even given him another twenty years, he wouldn’t dare touch the Sinclair Family." Damian was confident in his family’s strength, "But you should still look into him. No need to check on his current activities, just investigate the time he cooperated with Ronan Rhodes and focus on Laura Locke."
"No problem with that," the man on the other end of the phone asked curiously, "But could you tell me, it’s been twenty years, why suddenly think about investigating your brother’s cause of death?"
"Because I have to clear some things up to solve the issues now."
"What issues? I heard Mrs. Sinclair is forcing you to marry that Lynch girl? No, this doesn’t seem related to what happened twenty years ago."
Hearing this, Damian frowned, his eyes flashed with disgust, speaking seriously, "I cannot marry Cecilia Lynch."
"But I heard she’s pregnant with your child?"
"I’ll extract amniotic fluid to test the DNA," Damian replied, "Only when the test report is out will I know if the child is actually related to me." That night, he had drunk himself to oblivion, mistaking Cecilia Lynch for Bella Acker. But afterward, he sensed something was amiss, still he’s unsure if he pushed her away.
He needs confirmation for things he can’t be truly sure of; he cannot just believe whatever his mother and Cecilia Lynch say.
"Well, I actually think Cecilia Lynch is pretty nice, she’s got looks, she’s got a figure, and she’s liked you since childhood, why don’t you fancy her? You’re so picky, no wonder you’ve been single for 28 years."
"You’re wrong, I have a fiancée." After Damian finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, regardless of how his good friend on the other end felt. frёeωebɳovel.com
Holding the phone, he stood on the balcony without expression for a bit longer before leaving.
Clearly just last night he made the decision to sever ties with her. Yet upon waking, all decisions made last night turned void.
Changing orders frequently; in ancient times, he’d be the epitome of a foolish king.
Damian laughed sarcastically at himself, knowing full well that when it comes to anything related to her, he had long thrown principles out the window.
