Chapter 646 - 648: Younger Brother
Her voice remained calm, but every word landed like a blade.
"After all, a man isn’t worth keeping if he can’t even stay loyal."
For a moment, Gwen was completely taken aback.
Mira continued. "Actually, I understand why you did it now."
She rested her chin on one hand. "You’re only human. If your husband isn’t loyal, then of course you’d become paranoid."
The words were spoken casually, yet they stung far more than any insult.
Then Mira’s expression became serious. "I’m going to sue you for all the neglect you’ve put me through."
The statement finally brought Gwen back to reality.
A smile slowly spread across her face.
"Sure," she replied. "Go ahead and do it. I can hire the best lawyers available and make sure I stay out of jail."
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"But remember this. Once I do, I won’t forget everything you’ve said to me today."
Mira chuckled again.
"Sure, sure. That would actually be great."
She stood up from her seat.
"That way, you won’t think about picking another fight with me in the future."
For a brief moment, Gwen felt puzzled.
Why wasn’t Mira afraid?
She had always assumed that even after finding her relatives, Mira wouldn’t have much money or influence.
Yet here she was, speaking with complete confidence, as though she had nothing to fear.
Just as Gwen was about to question her, Mira rose to her feet.
"Alright then," she said. "I got the explanation I came for. I’ll be leaving now."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked away.
Gwen watched her retreating figure disappear through the doorway.
After several seconds, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello, detective," Gwen said. "I need information on someone."
The investigation didn’t take long.
When the results arrived, Gwen’s face gradually stiffened.
Mira’s relatives were extremely wealthy.
Not only that, they also had connections with Ms. Dawn herself.
The realization hit Gwen harder than she expected.
For a long moment, she sat in silence, staring at the report in her hands.
A bitter sense of regret slowly crept into her heart.
’If only I hadn’t pushed her away...’
The thought lingered stubbornly.
Perhaps all of that fortune, influence, and opportunity could have belonged to her family instead.
But it was too late now.
Some mistakes, once made, could never be undone.
Having no choice, Gwen decided that she would tell everything to her husband once he returned home.
She knew that the moment a lawsuit began, there was no way he wouldn’t find out the truth.
And if she waited until then to confess everything... he might try to strangle her. Or worse, divorce her.
The mere possibility made a chill run down her spine.
’No... I can’t let that happen.’
To Gwen, her husband was her last source of security, the only light left in a life that seemed to be slowly crumbling around her.
As those thoughts swirled through her mind, anger began rising in her chest.
Anger toward Mira.
A dark and vicious thought suddenly surfaced.
’If only I had killed that bitch when she was born.’
The moment the thought appeared, Gwen’s body stiffened.
Her breathing became uneven.
Quickly shaking her head, she muttered to herself, "What are you thinking? How can you think something like that about a child?"
Meanwhile, there was someone else thinking about revenge.
It was none other than Angie.
Recently, Angie had gained a considerable amount of influence in the underworld after working tirelessly for it.
Combined with the support of his mother and the resources she secretly provided, he had quickly established a foothold of his own.
And once he finally tasted power, his first target became Olivia.
He still hadn’t forgotten the humiliation he had suffered because of her.
Therefore, he ordered one of his most trusted groups of subordinates to eliminate Olivia.
This time, he no longer wanted her alive.
After becoming one of the rising figures of the underworld, countless women had begun throwing themselves at him.
Some openly pursued him. Others secretly schemed against one another just for a chance to spend a night by his side.
Surrounded by greed, manipulation, and flattery every day, Angie gradually became intoxicated by the attention.
Compared to those women constantly fighting for his favor, Olivia’s rejection became an unbearable stain on his pride.
Now he wanted revenge. He wanted Olivia to suffer.
That was why he acted so arrogantly.
Meanwhile, when Angie’s mother learned about her son’s foolish decision, she became furious.
She had long expected something like this to happen.
After all, power had always gone to Angie’s head. Just like his father.
His father had also become arrogant the moment success found him.
With a cold expression, she immediately ordered her own trusted subordinates to intercept the attack.
Not only that, she added another command. "Do not show any mercy."
Her voice was icy. "If necessary, kill every trusted subordinate Angie sent."
After giving her instructions, she calmly made her way toward Angie’s room.
As soon as she arrived, she pushed open the door.
Inside, Angie was busy being affectionate with a young woman.
A trace of disgust flashed across her face.
Angie frowned the moment he saw his mother. "Mother, leave."
His voice carried obvious irritation. "I have something important going on."
Hearing those words, Angie’s mother glanced at the woman beside him before looking back at her son.
"If I didn’t know better," she replied coldly, "I would think this girl was the one who helped you gain influence in the underworld."
Angie’s expression darkened. The mood he had painstakingly built up was completely ruined. "Just go away."
His voice became colder. "I don’t have time for this."
For a moment, Angie’s mother simply stared at him.
Then Angie suddenly exploded. "This piece of shit!"
He pointed toward the door. "Get out!"
The frightened woman immediately scrambled off the bed.
Her face had gone pale. Without daring to look back, she hurriedly fled from the room.
Once the door closed behind her, Angie’s mother finally looked directly at her son.
"Did you send people to attack Olivia?"
Hearing that question, Angie let out an annoyed sigh.
"I thought you had something important to say."
A smile appeared on his mother’s face. However, it wasn’t a warm smile. It was terrifying.
The next second... Slap!
Angie’s head snapped to the side. For several seconds, he remained frozen.
Disbelief filled his eyes. Slowly, he turned back toward his mother.
"How dare you slap me?"
His voice trembled with anger. To his surprise, his mother laughed.
The sound was neither joyful nor pleasant.
It was filled with disappointment.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that everything she had worked for was meaningless.
From the day she married Angie’s father, she had known he was hot-headed and reckless.
If it hadn’t been for her careful guidance, he would have died long ago in the underworld.
Instead, she had helped him.
And eventually, he had become one of the most powerful figures in the underworld.
Only after achieving success did he finally start paying attention to her.
It was also through years of manipulation and planning that she had managed to isolate Louis from the power struggle.
Yet the son she had placed all her hopes on had become such a disappointment.
Just like his father. Lustful, arrogant, and completely incapable of using his brain.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at him coldly. "Angie."
The room seemed to grow colder.
"You have five minutes."
Her voice carried absolute authority.
"Within five minutes, you will come outside. You will kneel in front of me. You will apologize for your mistake. And you will promise me that you will never go behind my back and attack Olivia again."
Her eyes narrowed dangerously.
"And if you can’t do that... I have already found your brother."
The moment those words left her mouth, Angie’s face turned pale.
His heartbeat nearly stopped. His mother continued.
"So if you still think you’re powerful and untouchable, then go ahead."
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Angie stood there motionlessly.
His ears rang repeatedly. ’I have already found your brother.’
Those words echoed endlessly in his mind.
Fear slowly spread through his entire body.
His hands began trembling uncontrollably.
In fact, he once had an exceptionally talented younger brother.
After that child’s birth, Angie finally understood what true genius looked like.
Previously, he had considered Louis a genius.
But his mother had personally removed that obstacle from his path.
At the time, Angie thought his future would be smooth sailing.
Then his younger brother was born. The child was even more talented.
The pressure became unbearable.
Consumed by jealousy and influenced by his mother’s ruthless methods, Angie eventually made a decision.
He secretly abandoned his younger brother at an orphanage.
Later, he ordered trusted men to move the child far away from the city.
Far away from everyone who could ever recognize him.
He wanted to make sure that the child would never be found.
And never become a threat to him again.
