Past secrets

Austin's POV I sat in the car, stroking the ring on my hand, and pondering what had happened recently. "Sir, Miss Sophia seemed to have forgotten you had ever met in the past." In front of the car, my assistant and driver, Cary Ogles, made a comment. "It's okay, Cary. I want Sofia to be happy. Now is a good start, and one day, she will come back to me." I was nothing more than the product of an old man's one-night affair, and when I was young, I lived in a slum with my mother, and I was often bullied by bad children, and I felt that life was hopeless. It was little Sophia and her brother Quirrell who helped me beat off the bad boys who bullied me, and Sophia gently healed me. After getting to know them, I felt that there was finally a glimmer of hope in life. Sophia was like a ray of sunshine shining on my heart. In order to see her often, I began to go to school on time, often seeing her happy smile. I thought, just stay with her all the time. When we grew up, we found a job that could provide for the family, and then formed a warm little family with her. It was also very good. But life was always impermanent. When I was 20 years old, the old lady found me and my mother. At that time, the old lady and the old man had a very stiff fight, and she wanted to use me to please the old man. That night, a fire broke out in the slum that destroyed my home and my mother's. The moment I woke up from the hospital, I knew that lurking was my only option, so I chose to bow down to my enemies rather than follow Sophia's news, avoiding putting her in danger. It took me 10 years to take over the reins of the family, and when I thought I could bring happiness to Sophia, I found that she was already with my nephew, and she was as happy as I had ever imagined. I didn't dare to disturb her, but I couldn't help but spying on her life. However, I found out that my nephew was cheating all the time, which would leave her bruised! I wanted to warn her, but I was afraid that she would be devastated because of this, and finally I got the news that she wanted to propose to Steve, and I felt that I couldn't hesitate to let her jump into the fire pit, so I sent the news to Steven's friends, then the next thing happened. That night was an absolute surprise. I got my wish for many years, got my Sophia, my girl, I had the opportunity to spend my life with her again, and the person who hurt her. I will never let go. Steven must pay for his betrayal! Thinking of this, I picked up my phone and dialed Steven's number. "Hey, uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" Steven, on the other end of the phone, looked exhausted and anxious, but I didn't care about it, and said without emotion: "Let's go home tomorrow, and we'll talk about your marriage to Anna Rodham." Steven, on the other end of the phone, scratched his head and pleaded in a low voice, "Uncle, can you help me drag it out, I'...... My girlfriend is missing, and I want to find her first. “ Hearing this reply, I snorted coldly in my heart, but my voice did not leak a trace: "Didn't you say that it wasn't your girlfriend, just for fun?" What is this going to do now? Anyway, you'll be back tomorrow first. With that, I hung up the phone. No matter what Steven was thinking, he wouldn't have a chance to turn back. At ten o'clock on Monday morning, I walked into Adler's villa, and the old man, Steven's parents, Edward and Karami, Steven, Lenny, and the rest of the juniors were all in attendance. Edward was my second older brother, and Lenny's father was my younger brother. As soon as I entered, I saw Karami scolding Steven, and Steven looked angry. I frowned and asked, "What's going on?" “ Lenny replied: "Karami said that she was going to hold a wedding ceremony for Steven and Miss Rodham, but Steven said that he already had a girlfriend and did not plan to get married. “ Steven nodded and said pitifully, "Uncle, you know, I have a girlfriend and I just want to be with her, but I can't find her for a while." “ I wasn't going to pay attention to him, so I turned my head to talk to Kalami and returned to today's topic, "Karami, since the wedding date is set......" "What wedding date is set!" Steven hurriedly refused, "It's nothing, that's nonsense!" ” Karami glared at her son fiercely, trying to save face, "It's all to blame on the woman outside him, who confused Steven's mind. She's a scourge." I glanced at her coldly, and the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, and everyone didn't understand why my face had suddenly changed, and Lenny hurriedly gave way and sat me down. "Karami, don't be too hypocritical." I picked up the coffee handed over by the butler, took a sip, and placed the cup heavily on the coffee table. "Don't forget, today is your good son. You staged such a good show, there is no need to belittle and insult others everywhere, you are so angry now, aren't you demonstrating to me? After all, the old man likes the second brother the most. If Steven can marry Rodham, you naturally have the ability to fight me. Maybe, as long as you seize the opportunity, the Adler family will still be yours in the future, right?" The hall was deadly silent. Adler's family has always been seriously infighting, and everyone wants to be in power, but they are usually false and wronged, but no one has ever exposed this fact to their faces. The old man suddenly began to cough vigorously, trying to stop me from speaking. But it doesn't end there. I stared at Kalami closely, and with a touch of my fingers, I knocked rhythmically on the coffee table, and my face sank a little, and finally it was covered with gloom. I asked Kalami, "Karami, where's the eldest brother?" Boom – As soon as these words came out, the air pressure in the living room dropped to the lowest, the older ones held their breath and concentrated, and the juniors didn't even dare to breathe. I sneered in my heart, the old man had a romantic life, had three wives and countless women, as well as six sons and three daughters. Over the years, everyone has been there, but the eldest brother is missing, because he is dead. How did he die? I drove him to death.
