Chapter 1428: Bygone Events

“Yeah, Grandpa had some things to do today, so he ate late.” Without saying more, Diana Wood pulled Bryce Walyon upstairs.

“I’m going to sleep too, you should turn in early!” The Old Master didn’t linger in the living room either, following closely upstairs.

Ryan Walyon’s gaze followed the three figures, tightening his grip on the teacup in his hand.

They had just finished dinner, and he was just with Watt Bennet. Tonight’s meal, was it with Watt Bennet?

The Old Master had dinner with Bryce Walyon and his wife and Watt Bennet and his spouse, but what was the purpose?

The Walyon Family and Watt Bennet have no business dealings.

The only explanation would be Watt Bennet’s identity!

However, during that accident in Northern Ireland, Ryan Walyon personally followed Diana Wood to identify Adrian Walyon, and he also attended the funeral.

How could Adrian Walyon still be alive?

The airline had conducted genetic identification of the deceased!

But if Watt Bennet isn’t Adrian Walyon, how would you explain the Old Master and Bryce Walyon’s actions tonight?

The more Ryan thought about it, the more his head ached. His head felt like it was going to explode, yet he couldn’t figure it out.

Summer Sutton wasn’t someone who loved gossip, but recently she had been paying attention to the news about Lorraine Hughes’ late mother.

She didn’t really want to pay attention, as it had nothing to do with her and didn’t pique her interest.

However, ever since the news broke about Mother Hughes’ suicide, for more than ten days, the news was overwhelmingly filled with reports about her.

Whenever Summer Sutton opened entertainment news, even if she didn’t want to see it, it was there.

The media’s ability to uncover information rivals that of a detective, if not surpassing it.

As long as they caught a whiff of something off, they’d stay on the scent and investigate deeply, eventually exposing everything.

There were various explanations in the news regarding Mother Hughes’ suicide.

The most common one Summer Sutton saw said that Henry Hughes had always been fond of another woman, and marrying Mother Hughes was merely a family-arranged marriage, without any feelings involved.

Even after marrying Mother Hughes, his love for that woman never ceased, and his marriage to Mother Hughes remained cold from beginning to end.

Women often contribute more in marriage than men do. Mother Hughes’ attitude towards the marriage was completely different from Henry Hughes’, loving wholeheartedly after marriage and even having mental issues at one point because her husband loved another woman.

The Mother Hughes seen by outsiders was merely a facade; only she knew the true state of things.

News reported that the reason Mother Hughes and Henry Hughes divorced was because of the woman Henry loved.

Reporters even provided specific details: the night before Mother Hughes’ suicide, she had visited the Hughes Family, entering with a normal expression but coming out with red eyes and nose. Reporters speculated it was after a big argument with Henry Hughes.

Reporters also surmised from this that Mother Hughes’ suicide might be related to the discussion with Henry Hughes that night.

A woman who always loved but could never get love, even at times becoming mentally unstable, has fragile defenses.

And this defense line, as the media sees it, could only be Henry Hughes’ one true love.

As for this woman’s identity, the media had spared no effort in uncovering a lot.

News reports said this legendary woman lives abroad and is an heiress of a large conglomerate, having returned to the country a few days ago.
