Chapter 497: Reiner – Embracing the Truth
Mum, if you’re still looking down at me from above, I hope you can see that I’ve found happiness now. I’m doing great for myself and there is nothing that you need to worry about anymore...
Since Reiner didn’t know and there were strict policies in place in disclosing names of clients at King’s company, I had given up on finding who was behind my mother’s death. For a while, I thought that it no longer mattered if I knew the truth or not. Time had passed, life moved on, and most importantly, I had moved on. I stared at the document on my laptop’s screen and realized that it felt so different to know the truth. Finally, thanks to Zak, I can fully put this behind me.
Perhaps it was because his mother was responsible for my mother’s death that Zak wanted to share this information with me. Maybe he felt like it was his responsibility to expose his mother’s crimes and all that she had done to hurt me. Madame Francesca was never been kind to me and she probably saw me as less than a human being; however, because she was so well respected and revered, I never imagined that she would be involved in so many illegal activities.
At that moment, I didn’t care too much about Madame Francesca because I was more worried about Zak. After all, they are still mother and son.
My eyes fell to the handwritten note that Zak had sent to me along with the USD drive when I realized why we needed to talk. With all of this information that had undoubtedly painfully collected, what does he plan to do with it?
‘Call me when you are ready’
Am I ready to call him right now?
I glanced at the clock in the room and realized that I only had around an hour before Reiner would be back. After we go on our honeymoon trip, I might not get a chance to call Zak until after the trip. If I wanted to call him, it was clear that I had to do it now.
Ready or not, I have to face this head on.
I reached for my phone and then I started inputting the phone number that Zak had written down for me. Despite his playful nature, Zak doesn’t do things without a good reason. I prayed that he would pick up the phone.
My wish was swiftly granted. After a few seconds of waiting on the line, the line connected, and I knew that Zak was the one on the other side of the line.
