Chapter 183

Charles suddenly brought up the topic of my biological mother, the one who I had thought about eversince I came out of the public notary office!

I still did not know who it was that sent me to the Felixs.

The number that my father gave me was the contact number for Shawn's mother. He said that she wasmy real mother.

However, she was not.

My real mother was not a person like her.

On top of that, she had denied being my mother as well.

For some reason, I knew that this puzzle could be solved by Charles.

I heard him explain, "Miss, it was your blood mother who sent you to the Felixs 24 years ago, but sheonly handed you over to the old madam because she trusted her at that time."

This really did happen 24 years ago. It would be Christmas Eve a few days later, marking my 24thbirthday!

Time really does pass by so fast.

Another year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Too many things had happened this year, and I did not really get to rest.

Hearing this, I bravely deduced, "And that time, the old madam sent me to the Felixs behind yourmaster's back, so in actuality, he did not even know I existed or that the woman had birthed his child,right?"

Wearing a three-piece suit and a tall hat, Charles dressed like a person from the olden days as hereplied, "Yes. If it weren't for us noticing the strange behavior of the madam, we would not have foundyou through investigation, and the old master wouldn't even have known the truth after his passing."

With a wrinkled face, tears suddenly formed in Charles' eyes as he said angrily, "The family placesbloodline first and foremost. By doing what she did, the old master was already being very lenient whenhe presented her with this choice!"

His sudden outburst stunned me. At the same time, he also composed himself after replaceing himselfoverly agitated. "Back then, the old master was also exiled just like Mr. Xenos when he was still youngand came back first when he was twenty years old! He saw with his own eyes how his elder brotherswere drowned. Even though the old master was livid, he was helpless then, as he didn't possess theability to save them!"

Pausing, he continued, "This old rule of the family was indeed cruel, but the old master could notchange the past. He had secretly sworn to let his sons live and work in the family no matter who won.Yet, the madam actually conspired with Mr. Xenos to harm the three other young masters. This waswhy the old master wanted him dead, even though he knew how much you loved Mr. Xenos! Because

he is a cruel man, and the old master was afraid you might be taken advantage of by him!"

Hearing this, I quickly spoke up for Shawn, saying, "No! Shawn had said that he wanted to save hisbrothers!"

My words stunned Charles before he frowned and said, "Maybe we've all been deceived by themadam. But now, the truth no longer matters! Miss, I will tell you your mother's whereabouts now. It'llbe up to you if you want to reunite with her or not."

Charles then handed the note to me. Taking it, I saw that it was an address in Fisoka with a phonenumber attached to it.

Seeing this, I asked, "Who is she?"

"Your mother was married to a duke in Fisoka 24 years ago, making her a duchess now. But, the twohad not conceived even till now. I believe she will replace you when it's time, since they don't have an heirto inherit their possessions."

Charles' words had a hint of ploy in them.

He felt as if this incident could help propel the family to even greater heights.

I did not share his thoughts. Just as I was about to dismiss him, I suddenly thought of the transplantedkidney in my body.

Curious, I asked him, "Who donated this kidney to me?"

Charles knew what I was about to ask.

Hearing this, he answered, "It was your mother."

"The Duchess?" I asked.

Charles replied, "Yes."

"How did she know that I was sick?"

After a brief moment of silence, I said puzzlingly, "If she was the one who donated the kidney to me,she should have known about my situation in the Felixs, but she chose to ignore me for so manyyears."

"Miss, you should ask the old madam about this."

Charles wanted me to ask Eliza about this.

Seeing me fall silent, Charles said, "I've completed my mission in the Xenos Family, so Miss, I don'tthink we'll be seeing each other ever again."

Even though the elder in front of me was smart, loyal, competent and a proven asset of the family, Ialso found him to be the most irritable man to me right now!

Waving my hand, I said, "I wish you all the best then."

After Charles had left, I took the map with me and went back to the apartment before throwing it on thebed and heading to the kitchen.

After having my lunch, I went back to retrieve that map. In actuality, it was a document, listing all theresources the Xenos Family had placed throughout the world.

No wonder everybody feared the Xenos Family. It was because they did have enough power!

Standing up, I locked the map inside a safe together with the two rings.

Taking out the two rings, I placed them together before looking at the numbers carved on the inside ofthe rings.

What do these numbers mean?

Is this Morse Code?!

I did not know much, nor was I too interested in this.

Putting the rings back into the safe, I then saw a line of words on the map, stating, 'The supremeXenos Family.'

The supreme Xenos Family…

And the base of the Xenos Family was the Xenos Fanor.

A thought then flashed across my mind; would the gold actually be somewhere in the manor, and the

string of numbers was a code?

This was just my hypothesis. I locked everything in the safe after that, thinking that I still had to injectthe dose of progesterone in the afternoon.

Now, I would call Merlin every time I went to the hospital, due to me being afraid that Nicholas wouldsuddenly appear and take advantage of me!

As a few bodyguards would not be enough to stop him, Merlin was the only one in Eldham that I knewof that had the ability to stop him.

Yet, I was not sure if it was due to Merlin that Nicholas had stopped disturbing me or that he hadfulfilled his promise!

He did say that he would leave me alone if I left Shawn's side.

Merlin arrived quite late and left in a hurry after accompanying me to take the injection.

Instead of returning to the apartment, I called Gary to pick me up. By the time he had arrived, it wasalready quite late.

Smiling, I asked him, "What have you been up to lately?"

After the Felix Family was gone, Gary was unemployed, so I did not know what he was doing now. ButI knew that people of his caliber would have no trouble replaceing a job.

"I've been lazing around, as I haven't rested this much for a few years now. I plan to play around for a

month or two before planning what to do."

Charles had said that Gary was suitable to be my right-hand man, as he had demonstrated his worthafter following me for so many years and organizing the company well.

Smiling, I asked him, "Would you like to be the assistant to the head of the Xenos Family?"

Stunned, Gary was puzzled. "President Felix, what are you…"

"You should have heard about how I'm the head of the Xenos Family now."

"How did you suddenly take over the family, President Felix?"

"I'm the daughter of the old master," I said.

Though I wished that I was not the real daughter of James.

Shocked, Gary asked, "Then, about Mr. Xenos…"

"Shawn isn't blood-related to me."
