Chapter 397: [Bonus - ]Grandma Zhu’s blessing
Silas and Dominic’s resemblance was uncanny and even Heaven was surprised. Although one would notice the difference, they looked similar from a distance and at first glance.
With this fact laid on the table, it wasn’t surprising it brought some issues in the past.
According to Grandma Zhu, Silas was a mischievous child while Dominic was more serious. Even though both children were bright in school, Silas would sometimes cause trouble and frame Dominic just to tease the latter. At first, it was mere harmless pranks and simple dressing up to confuse the young Axel.
However, over time, Silas’s pranks weren’t simple pranks anymore. Especially during their young teen days. Silas got hooked on partying and gambling; he became a troublemaker, rebelling against Grandma Zhu and Lionel Zhu, who stood up as his father after what Leon Zhu did to Dominic.
To make matters worse, Silas would sometime pretend to be Dominic just to get money from others.
"No one knew about it until someone was suing Dominic for not paying his debts," Grandma Zhu let out a deep sigh, shaking her head mildly. "At first, we thought it was a mere slandering. However, with all the evidence, we realized Silas had tarnished Dominic’s reputation. I wanted to disown him, but Lionel and Dominic begged me not to."
Heaven had her lips into a tight line as she listened to Grandma Zhu’s story.
"Why?" she asked, confused. "Why did Dominic and Father beg you not to disown him?"
Grandma Zhu shrugged. "Because those fools were too soft. They believe Silas was only strayed, but not entirely a bad person. So, I just sent him abroad with barely enough allowance for him to get by. If he wanted to change, then he’d find a way."
