Became A Queen After divorce

Declan believed it was his debt to Natalia, and he had to repay it himself, so he did.

But he had to wait until he witnessed his youngest daughter’s happiness before he could willingly end everything!

“Unfortunately, Sir never lived to see that day.”

Hearing Uncle Brody’s words, Pearl burst into tears.

“So that’s it… Daddy… sob…”

Seeing her so upset, Brody took out a clean white handkerchief and handed it to her.

“There’s something else I haven’t told Miss.”

“Wh-what?”

Through her tearful eyes, Brody solemnly took off his hat and said with deep guilt:

“In fact, I am the head of Raven Hall… and also Sam’s man.”

“Wh-what?”

Pearl looked at the kneeling old man in disbelief.

The head of Raven Hall?

The most mysterious figure in the Gilliam family, directly under Father’s command, even Libby didn’t know his true identity.

So it was the always smiling Brody!

No wonder no one knew his identity, after all, no one could connect the head of an intelligence organization with an ordinary old butler.

“Uncle Brody, are you joking with me? Father said you’ve been with him for over twenty years… how could you be… Sam’s man?”

“Let me tell you a story.”

“Okay.”

“My real name is not Brody, but Reagan Randall. Back then, I came here to eliminate the enemy and got seriously injured and passed out in the jungle.”

Later, he was saved by a disabled boy, who happened to be Declan’s younger brother.

“At that time, I still had other missions on me. I had to complete them before I could come back and repay the favor. But when I rushed back, I found out that your uncle, such a kind person, had died!”

“I always remembered that I still owed him a life-saving favor, so I wanted to avenge him before returning home.”

Because of this decision, he inquired about Declan’s whereabouts everywhere.

Along the way, Reagan saved a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy and adopted him as his own son.

“I named that child Joshua Randall, hoping he would live up to my expectations. With Joshua, I successfully found your father and explained my intentions.”

At that time, Declan was not as ruthless as he later became. He was just a pitiful man burdened with blood feuds, struggling to survive.

The only goal to survive was to avenge his brother.

On this point, they coincided.

So with their joint efforts, they established the Gilliam family in place of the Cunningham family and successfully found their enemy three years later and killed him.

“After avenging, your father changed. He became selfish, cruel, suspicious, and bloodthirsty… As a Chulae person, even though I left my homeland, I still don’t want to create more karma.”

“I proposed to leave the Gilliam family that we built together, but he disagreed and used witchcraft to control me, Joshua, and many others in the Gilliam family.”

“Helpless, my son and I had to continue serving him. Later, when I learned that Joshua died in a mission, I thought it was his fate.”

“Until Sam told me that Joshua’s death was suspicious. And I found out that it was all orchestrated by your father because he wanted to kill Joshua to keep him quiet.”

“Do you know? Before going on the mission, Joshua came to me. He said he found someone he really liked and who liked him too. He wanted to settle down with her and have a family.”

“But all of this… was destroyed!”

Reagan still remembered the night before Joshua left for the mission. They sat together drinking and playing chess, talking for a long time…

After hearing Brody’s story, Pearl felt blank in her mind and pale on her face.

Everything seemed unrelated, but it turned out that everyone couldn’t escape from the word “revenge.”

“Uncle Brody… no, I should call you Uncle Reagan. I apologize to you on behalf of my father for what happened to your son.”

Pearl could feel how much Uncle Reagan missed his son Joshua.

If that person and Giana hadn’t died, he would have been a happy old man with a filial son and a gentle daughter-in-law, and smart and clever grandchildren…

They would have been a happy family.

Thinking of all this, Pearl suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of guilt because of her wretched life!

“It’s my fault, Uncle Reagan. Everything my father did was for me.”

“I don’t want to pursue Uncle Reagan’s betrayal of my father anymore. I hope all grievances can be forgotten… is that possible?”

Revenge?

Pearl shook her head. She knew she had no reason or ability for revenge.

Besides, the more you care about hatred, the more entangled you become;

It’s better to abandon it, better not to think about it.

Then you will realize that there is another way to live life, and the path under your feet will be much wider. Why imprison yourself in the cage of hatred?

Reagan confessed everything to her not to seek complete annihilation. Declan was dead, and the Gilliam family had fallen.

He had no intention of harming Pearl.

“Miss Pearl, please rise. You grew up abroad since childhood; none of this is related to you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Reagan. By the way, do you know that Esteban is your grandson? He’s at the embassy now. I can take you to see him.”

Originally thought that Uncle Reagan would be excited when he heard about his grandson, but unexpectedly he refused.

“No need!”

“I couldn’t find him for so many years before. It caused him and his mother so much suffering outside. Now how can I show up as a grandfather?”

Even when Esteban was captured by Declan and subjected to daily blood draws at Gilliam Mansion, Reagan watched with heartache but didn’t offer any help.

It was Sam who told him about Esteban’s background… Reagan felt he had no face to face that child.

“But he will soon follow Master Glenn back to Chulae. Maybe… he won’t come back again.”

Pearl felt regretful.

Clearly, they were each other’s last relatives in this world. If they could recognize each other, the grandfather and grandson could rely on each other in the future.

“No need. That little girl’s father is someone extraordinary. Esteban will be better off following him than being with me. I won’t disturb him.”

Besides, once he left the Gilliam family, he might encounter people seeking revenge. Taking Esteban with him would only harm him.

Hearing that he didn’t plan to reclaim Esteban, Pearl couldn’t understand.

“But you are his relative. Maybe Esteban has different thoughts from you.”

“Then let him not know! Miss Pearl, may I trouble you with one more thing?”

Reagan sincerely asked her.

“Uncle Reagan, you’re too polite. What can I do for you? Just tell me directly; I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you, Miss Pearl.”

She was different from the others in the Gilliam family; she was truly a kind and generous girl.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
