Chapter 1500
Zachary narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have deduced something through Lucas'
silence, if Miss Corinne and I weren’t husband and wife, why would I take a child from her
back then?"
Lucas snapped back to his senses and glared at him. "I'd like to know the answer to that
too!"
Zachary looked at the infuriated Lucas and responded calmly, "Make I ask your surname?"
"It's Rivera," Lucas answered coldly.
Zachary asked further, "And what is your relationship to Miss Corinne?"
"She's my sister."
Zachary nodded. ‘I understand. Your anger toward me stems from your belief that I've
wronged your sister."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wronged? That's an understatement!" Lucas roared. "The harm you inflicted on her can
hardly be described as a mere 'wronging'."
Zachary then replied, "I don't remember anything, so I can't offer you an explanation for
your accusations at the moment."
Lucas had always been gentle in character, but he could no longer help himself from
gritting his teeth. "Do you then expect me to just let you off the hook so you can spend
your days away with Sophia with the child that you took from my sister?"
Zachary clarified, "That's not what I meant. I don't trust Sophia at all. If I believed
everything from her lips, I wouldn't have found this opportunity to bring you here for a
detailed discussion."
Lucas gave him a puzzled look. "If you don't trust her, why don't you leave her and
uncover the truth for yourself?"
Zachary sighed self-deprecatingly and glanced at his crippled legs." Believe me, I would if
I could. Since you know about me and Sophia, you should be aware of the kind of
influence that Sophia's family has in
Molomia. I'm a disabled amnesiac. I can't escape, and I don’t remember the people I once
knew. I wouldn't be able to seek help from anyone even if
I could."
Lucas looked at Zachary sitting in the wheelchair and noted that he lacked the vibrant
energy Jeremy once had. There was a weary, sickly air about him that seemed to be an
obstacle for him to escape Sophia's control in Molomia.
Lucas suggested, "I can bring you back to your home now that I've located you. Are you
willing to come with me?"
It was a rare opportunity for freedom, and Lucas expected Zachary to agree.
Unfortunately, Zachary shook his head and said, "As someone with amnesia, both your
statements and Sophia's are the same to me. It's onesided. I find it difficult to trust either
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmside completely."
Lucas retorted with a cold sneer, "So you're willing to continue staying with Sophia?"
Zachary lowered his gaze in deep contemplation and responded, "I'm more inclined to
believe your version of events for the sole fact that my son and Corinne's son are the
spitting image of each other. While I won't go back with you on an impulse, I don't intend
to stay with Sophia either. Sophia might not let it slide under those circumstances, and we
might risk the lives of innocent people. Sophia came back to the country to deal with her
father's assets. After that, she plans to take Benjamin and me to a private island she
purchased. She wants to isolate US from the world. I hope you can lend me a hand before
that happens."
Lucas eyed him warily and asked, "What sort of assistance do you need?"
