Chapter 612: Shocking News

Lucas and Jordan were both a little surprised.

Although Maddy had said that she would be leaving Orange County tomorrow, the destination she had in mind at the time wasnt DC.

The sudden change was probably an impromptu decision.

“Maddy, if you go back now, will… you encounter some trouble” Jordan asked concernedly.

He was naturally referring to Maddys and Roys families.

If Roy added fuel to the fire and exaggerated the matter when he complained to his family, Maddy would probably face the wrath of two families at the same time.

“Its okay.

I have to give my family a clear explanation for this matter.

After all, theyre my parents and my family.

I cant keep being too willful.” Although Maddy had a faint smile, there was obvious bitterness in it.

Jordans heart suddenly sank.

He already knew that if Maddy could reach an amicable outcome after negotiating with her family, she would probably be able to regain her freedom for a while again.

But the more likely outcome would be her family putting her under enormous pressure and coercing her by telling her that it was all for her own good and for the sake of her family.

They might even callously say that she would be unfilial if she objected to the marriage.

Maddy probably wouldnt be able to stand it.

The thought of it made Jordans face gloomy, but he remained silent and chugged a large mouthful of beer.

Lucas was in low spirits too.

He admired Maddy greatly for her composure, wisdom, intelligence, and impeccable medical skills.

But her sex as a woman and the fact that she was born to a notable family left her with no choice but to be bound by the stereotypes and ridiculous standards of prestigious families.

In the eyes of her family and relatives, all of her achievements were insignificant.

Not only would they not be proud of her because of her achievements, but they would even criticize her for not behaving like the noble lady she was because she was always receiving attention from the public.

Besides, she was still unmarried at 30.

In the eyes of many people, she was considered an anomaly who would soon be left on the shelves.

No one cared about her capabilities, value, and dreams.

Lucas honestly hoped that Maddy and Jordan could be together.

As long as they were willing, he was confident that he could help them deal with the pressure imposed by the Stones and the Smiths and help them enjoy a blissful life of freedom.

Unfortunately, Jordan and Maddy had spent too little time alone together.

In the past few days, Maddy had developed a liking for Jordan, but it was probably more of comradeship and sisterly affection.

She saw Jordan as a younger brother, and their relationship was far from romantic, much less an unwavering love that they would be willing to stand together against the world.

This was precisely why Jordan could only remain silent in response to Maddys decision to return to DC.

There was no way he could say, “Im willing to go with you and face this together with you.”

The supposedly joyous gathering ended up becoming gloomy and somber.

——

At the same time, an uninvited guest showed up in the Kingston manor in San Francisco.

A middle-aged noblewoman in her forties to fifties dressed in expensive clothes was sitting in the master seat of the hall.

On the other hand, Lance, the helmsman of the Kingstons, was sitting anxiously next to her.

“Mrs.

Smith, I didnt expect that you would suddenly visit San Francisco.

Its our honor to have you here!” Lance said fawningly and then instructed the servants to serve the best tea the family had.

Lance was really annoyed when he first learned that a woman had come to visit him today.

But when he learned that she was from the Smiths, one of the eight major families of DC, his attitude immediately changed drastically.

She was from a prestigious family from DC!

Although the Kingstons had contact with the Huttons, another of the eight great families of DC, they were subservient to the Huttons, and Lance had almost never personally received anyone from the Huttons.

The eight major families of DC were simply legendary existences.

The Kingstons were insignificant compared to these behemoths.

If he was a bit careless and ended up offending those from truly powerful families, the Kingstons would probably be destroyed.

On the contrary, if he responded amicably and left a good impression on these noble people, he would probably be able to find a powerful backer for the Kingstons that would help them advance to a higher level!

But the noble lady known as Mrs.

Smith was staring sharply at Lances face.

She pursed her lips tightly and furrowed her brows.

Clearly, she was in a terrible mood.

She stared at Lance with a hostile gaze and suddenly said, “Lance Kingston, let me ask you.

How did my son, Marc, and my ex-husband, Moses, die”

Boom!

Hearing this, Lance suddenly sprung up from his seat with shock all over his face.

If it wasnt because his heart was strong enough, he would have probably had a heart attack and died of sudden cardiac arrest!

What did he just hear

This noble lady just said that his son Moses was her ex-husband and his grandson Marc, whom everyone once had high hopes for, was her son!

Lance was extremely astonished and at a loss for words.

He didnt know what facial expression he should have either.

After opening his mouth for a long time, he finally said with some puzzlement and disbelief, “Wh-what did you just say You… youre my sons ex-wife And my grandsons mother His biological mother”

The ladys eyes suddenly darkened, and she said in displeasure, “I think Ive already made it very clear! Or do you want me to repeat it again”

“No, no, no.

I… I was just too shocked.

After all, my son Moses never mentioned it to me!” Lance hurriedly explained.

At the same time, he was also very bewildered by Mosess behavior.

When did my son marry a woman from such a powerful family He never mentioned it to me before!

She was from one of the eight most powerful families in DC!

If he had known this earlier, the Kingstons would have long formed connections with the Smiths from DC.

He might have already expanded the familys power to DC!

Seemingly having seen through Lances thoughts, Mrs.

Smith sneered and said with some contempt, “I know what youre thinking.

But even Moses doesnt know my true identity, so of course you wouldnt!”

Hearing this, Lance became more surprised and curious.

Could Moses have married a woman without knowing her true identity

At this point, Lance finally began to recall the past events from 29 years ago.
