Chapter 1555 - Chapter 1555 Chapter 1555 An Extra Chess Piece
Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: An Extra Chess Piece Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: An Extra Chess Piece Xaviera’s eyes suddenly grew cold, glancing at Caleb Mamet beside her. His expression appeared calm, but she could clearly sense the chilling aura emanating from him.
On the surface, Caleb didn’t seem to care much about his brother Yigol Mamet, often even wanting to beat him up. However, Xaviera knew how much Caleb valued him, trying to protect him from any harm. Caleb had secretly been searching for Yigol’s biological parents for a while but had found no clues. Now, hearing about it from Will Mamet, he likely also doubted the truth in Will’s words.
Will was Yigol’s adoptive father and the head of the Mamet family at the time. Logically, he wouldn’t have accepted a child of unknown origin, so it was highly likely that he knew Yigol’s identity.
Yigol’s expression faltered. He had always thought that he was an orphan adopted by Jenny Green from an orphanage, but now, after hearing Will’s words, he realized that things were not that simple.
“Aren’t you curious why Jenny and I adopted you? I already had two biological sons; why would I raise someone else’s child?” Seemingly noticing Yigol’s darkening expression, Will’s tone was full of satisfaction, “You might think it’s because of Boyd Drew, but no one knew of our plans. We had already switched Caleb and Boyd’s identities. Your presence was just to showcase how outstanding Boyd was, wasn’t it? It would have been the same without you!”
Yes! Upon reflection, in Will and Jenny’s plans, Yigol was like an extra chess piece, with his existence not affecting the plan at all.
Initially, Xaviera thought that Jenny adopted Yigol to highlight Boyd’s excellence in the future, making it easier for Boyd to inherit, but if Yigol didn’t exist, Boyd’s ascension to power might have been even smoother. So, there must have been another purpose for adopting Yigol.
Xaviera tugged at the corner of her mouth. In front of Caleb, Will blatantly revealed the plan to switch the two sons’ identities, apparently unafraid that it would anger Caleb. He was sure Caleb was afraid of Yigol getting hurt, so to protect Yigol, Caleb wouldn’t dare lay a hand on his own father and instead treat him well.
Yigol’s gaze was downcast, his emotions unreadable.
Will’s voice carried a hint of sinister intention: “Yigol, now you have taken over the Mamet family, and there’s no one related to you by blood by your side. You must be very curious about who your biological parents are, right? You probably want to know how they reacted after losing you too!”
“I can tell you clearly that your arrival at the Mamet family was no accident. It was a conspiracy. Don’t you want to know who was behind all of this?”
Will asked, word by word, as though a devil was tempting the young man to plunge into hell.
Xaviera’s eyes grew colder and colder. She and Caleb had investigated Yigol’s background but had always been without clues, as if everything had been deliberately erased by someone.
However, she remembered that Mrs. Russell had mentioned once that Yigol and Timothy Cole looked somewhat similar.
Timothy was a talented pianist twenty years ago, and the Cole family was once a prominent family in the Imperial City. However, due to some incidents, the Cole family gradually declined. Some members died, while others went insane. Timothy had vanished too.
At that time, Xaviera was slightly suspicious, so she immediately checked the Cole family’s information but found no missing sons. Hence, she didn’t continue the investigation.
