Lucas’ eyes darkened with caution when he heard the name ‘Brian Addison’.
Corinne was observant enough to catch the changes in his eyes. “What’s the matter? You don’t like
Brian Addison?”
Lucas shook his head. “Brian Addison was the name Adam used when he was still living in this city.”
‘What? They’re the same person?’ thought Corinne with shock. “Does that mean that piece of land
belongs to Adam?”
Lucas nodded. “What time is the auction tomorrow? I’ll go with you.”
“It’s at ten in the morning.”
“I’ll come pick you up tomorrow then. Meeting’s finished. Now ask the servants to carry the kids’ gifts
from the trunk inside.”
“Sure. By the way, thanks,” replied Corinne absent-mindedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few moments later, a group of servants came out of the mansion to bring the gifts for the kids inside.
Corinne watched Lucas’ car leave with a thoughtful expression. She then looked down at the painting
in her hand.
‘There’s finally a lead on Mom. Maybe there’ll be a lead on Jeremy too…’
…
The kids were overjoyed to get new toys.
“Mommy, are all these toys from Uncle Lucas?” asked Joey with bright eyes as he held the toys that
were meant for him.
Even though Corinne did not admit Lucas was her brother, she did not mind her kids calling him ‘Uncle
Lucas’.
“Yup. Uncle Lucas specially bought them for you all,” replied Corinne. She then handed one of the
extra-large boxes to Bryan. “Here, this is yours, Bryan.”
‘Bryan’ was quietly watching from the side, and his expression immediately turned to one of happy
surprise when Corinne gave him the box of toys.
“Are… Are they really for me?”
Corinne nodded. “Of course they are. This isn’t the first time Uncle Lucas bought you toys. Why do you
look so surprised?”
Of course ‘Bryan’ was surprised. After all, he was actually Benjamin.
Inside the box was a set of ultra, high-end toy excavators. Even though he had a lot of toys at home, he
had never seen such toy excavators as well-made as these.
He always liked excavators, but Sophia would not buy him toys like that. She said only those at the
bottom of society would want to drive a vehicle like that. Thus, she would not allow him to touch it nor
could he play with dirt. Instead, she would buy him car models of high-end brands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe found those very boring to play with.
Benjamin happily hugged the toy excavators to his chest. He was practically in heaven! He could not
believe how lucky he was to live there.
Corinne passed Christine her share of the toys before calling Lucas on the phone so that the kids could
thank him.
After that, she went to search online for more information about Brian Addison while the kids played
with their new toys.
‘So Brian Addison is Adam. Adam Group has been selling off its assets one after another in this
country lately. Maybe that’s why Sophia’s back… She’s here to help her dad handle the affair,’ thought
Corinne.
