A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0985

His facial expression turned solemn immediately. “We’ll talk about it in the study.”

When he passed by the living room, Arianne was changing Smore’s diaper. She did not even deign to glance at him. He was quite upset because of that. So much so that he had to take a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions.

After they entered the study, he sat down on the chair. “What did you find out?”

Henry, the butler, reported truthfully. “The Smiths did quite a good job in concealing the incident so it’s rather difficult if we want to get to the bottom of it. According to some of the clues we found recently, it seems like Alejandro had a minor accident around half a year to a year ago. It seems that he was admitted to the hospital because of a gunshot. Moreover, the hospital caught fire, and his face was slightly burned. He underwent corrective surgery recently so the burns could not be clearly seen now. Although his appearance might be different from before, the difference shouldn’t be too vast."

“His legs were paralyzed from a car accident a few years ago. Besides, the Smith family’s background is rather complicated. The brothers and cousins fought among themselves in a dog-eat-dog manner. Initially, Alejandro had more than ten brothers, but he’s the only one left now. Alejandro’s also an illegitimate son, he didn’t grow up with the Smiths. He was picked up to return to the Smiths when he was almost of age. Master Don doesn’t care much about him. If it’s not for the fact that he has no heir now, Alejandro might never get a chance at all."
