Chapter 404 The Truth

Natalia nodded.

She could tell that Mr. Kawn meant well.

No matter how he treated her before, at least he treated her much better after he found out she was actually the lost child of Yvonne.

But...

She looked grimmer when she thought about K's death.

"Archie, I don't care how complicated the Lafayette family is, I want to give it a try."

Archie knew what she was thinking.

Natalia had already told him everything about her past. So he could easily see what she was up to.

He held her closer.

"Fine, do it if you want to. Don't worry, I got you."

Natalia smiled.

"Good."

Mr. Kawn's condition was getting worse.

After announcing his will that night, he had fallen into a coma then.

The doctor said several of his vital organs had failed completely and he would have been dead had it not been for the high-tech treatment. Natalia visited him once. He was lying there unconsciously, looking skinny and pale, as if he had withered overnight.

When she came out of his room, she bumped into Wilson.

He had not expected to see her here and he looked quite surprised.

Then he couldn't hold back his happiness."

"Lia, there you are."

Natalia nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Wilson, are you free now? I want to talk to you."

Wilson looked at the time and nodded.

"Okay, there's a cafe downstairs. Let's talk over there."

Natalia agreed.

So they left the hospital, went downstairs to the cafe and sat down by the window.

Wilson didn't know what Natalia wanted to talk to him about, but instead of pushing her, he waited for her to speak.

Natalia hesitated before asking, "I'd like to know more about Yvonne... About my mother."

Wilson was delighted to hear that she referred Yvonne as her mother.

They had been worried that Natalia wouldn't accept who she really was, but now it looked like they were being paranoid.

"Well, what do you want to know? I'll tell you."

Natalia thought for a while and asked, "What kind of person is she?"

Wilson's face lit up with a gentle smile.

"You two actually looked quite alike. All so gentle and beautiful. Cold on the outside and kind on the inside. She respected the elders and treated everyone nicely. She's a very talented woman. By the way, you might not know that she used to be a painter and had done a lot of paintings. She stopped when she fell ill."

Natalia nodded.

"We reserved many of her works in her room. You can come by when you're available and I'll show you."

Natalia was stunned and forced a smile.

"I'd love to."

She paused for a second and asked, "I heard that she was depressed because she was in love. Do you know who the man was and why they separated?"

Wilson paused slightly, as if he hadn't expected her to ask that question.

He thought for a moment and said quietly, "I shouldn't be the one to answer you that question, but since you ask, I must tell you."

Then he told her about Yvonne's love affair.

Yvonne met Jade, the eldest son of the Lafayette family, when she was studying abroad.

They fell in love at first sight and were crazy for each other.

Back then, Yvonne wasn't aware who he really was. She thought he came from a wealthy family judging from the way he spent money.

And Yvonne was the daughter of the Kawn family. She was born and raised with love and money. She had so little regard for money and power that she never thought of it that way. Unexpectedly, it did not take long before the news came that Jade actually had a fiancé and his family even forced him to go back and get married.

Yvonne was devastated. She couldn't believe Jade was lying to her the whole time.

She went to Jade and asked for an explanation, but Jade admitted it was true and broke up with her.

She discovered that the one she loved had been lying to her, and she had unwillingly become a mistress.

It was too much for Yvonne and she had always been so confident.

She returned home and shut herself up in her room for a whole week without eating or drinking anything. She thought it would just go away like a papercut.

Everybody would be hurt by a scum when they were young, right?

Time would heal everything.

But a few months later, just as Yvonne had decided to put the matter behind her, she was assassinated.

Yvonne was the daughter of the Kawn family, which was one of the four most powerful families in Ambario. This had never happened before.

Mr. Kawn was furious. After his thorough investigation, he found that the killer was actually sent by foreign forces, and the legendary Cercis family was involved.

It turned out that the assassin was sent by Jade's fiancé.

Although Jade had chosen to leave Yvonne in order to ensure her safety, the fiancé was still worried and wanted Yvonne to die.

Unfortunately, she didn't know Yvonne's identity before she attacked her, thinking she was just an ordinary girl.

This not only irritated Mr. Kawn, but also Jade.

Jade immediately decided to call off the engagement. Regardless of the opposition of his family, he came to Ambario and begged for Yvonne's forgiveness. Yvonne was angry and wouldn't forgive him easily.

After all, it was she who had been betrayed and cheated.

Jade was not in a hurry. He always stayed by her side and went wherever she went.

Yvonne was bothered and at the same time a little happy.

After all, he was the one she had loved deeply for the first time. Who would want to give up his true love?

But then she heard something.

The woman went to see her in person and told her a shocking fact.

No one in this world would ever think that something so terrible could happen.

The Lafayette family had always been flourishing and everyone thought that it was because they relied on the heritage and abundant financial resources left by their ancestors.

But after that day, Yvonne learned that money alone was not enough to create a Cercis family.

In the Cercis family, every direct descendant's future spouse would be chosen at birth.
