I’m Someone Else

Chapter 209

“I won’t bring her back. Her happiness is more important than anything else.” Declan flatly refused.

As Leah glanced at him, she said calmly, “If you don’t go, then I’ll have to go myself. And when I go, Thomas will be dead.” Her tone suddenly turned icy, like a chilling wind in the depths of winter, causing Declan to shiver involuntarily.

He had heard some things about his mother, only knowing that she was once a well-known talent in Irieson, but that was all that he knew. But judging from her look now, she is obviously not an ordinary person. How can an ordinary person emanate such a strong killing intent? The way she appeared now was not like someone in the business world; instead, she seemed more like an emotionless killer. Could it be that she is also a martial arts master like Dad? Judging from the killing intent I just felt, even if Dad were still alive, he might not be as formidable.

She continued, “Listen to me, Declan. If you want Olivia to survive, you must go. Not only go, but you need to bring her back to me.”

At her words, he looked up at his mother only to see her serious and determined expression, completely unlike someone joking around. I can only go. What else can I do? She has made herself clear. If I don’t go, she’ll cause trouble for Thomas. And then it’ll be another meaningless bloodshed.

Thinking of this, he nodded and reluctantly agreed. After that, he stood up and was ready to leave.

“Oh, by the way, also bring Ophelie back. Although Terrence is no longer with us, I’m still here as their grandma. What’s she doing at her Grandpa Harrison’s place? I’ll be waiting here for your good news. Bring the two children back, and let’s have a family reunion dinner tonight.”

When he heard that, he paused for a moment and then hastened his departure with a sigh.

He couldn’t explain why, even though his mother was someone he hadn’t seen in a long time, and even though she had been gentle, she made him feel very uncomfortable. In fact, facing her gave him more pressure than facing Terrence. He didn’t want to spend any more time in that room with her.

Until his figure disappeared, Leah’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smirk. “Thomas? Hmph!”

Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number, placing it against her ear. “Find out everything about Thomas Clifford for me.”

“Yes, ma’am.” A low and sinister voice came from the other end of the phone.

Leah, who had been missing for many years, was not someone ordinary. Her imposing aura revealed as much. Moreover, her timing for appearing was quite suspicious, coinciding with the upheaval in the Pearson Family. So, why did she choose to return at this time?

Especially when she just told Declan that if he wanted Olivia to live, he had to go and bring her back. It seemed that she knew about the mission Olivia bore.

In just over an hour, a man in a suit arrived at the suite with a file in his hand. He respectfully said to Leah, “Ma’am, I’ve found the information you requested.”

“Tell me,” Leah said, sipping her tea and squinting her eyes.

“Thomas Clifford. Eight years ago, he was the SAT top scorer in Irieson. He was admitted to Irieson’s University of Technology in advance of the exam. However, after obtaining the title of top scorer, he chose to join the military. He is an orphan, having been without parents since childhood. His ex- girlfriend’s name is Felice Lott. When he returned from the military, she betrayed him and cheated on him. Currently, he only has a stepsister, whom he barely considers family. Not only did he injure Mr.

Terrence in the past, but he also injured Mr. Norman. Mr. Gavin was severely injured and nearly disabled by him. Even Miss Yukine has been beaten by him.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

After he finished speaking, he closed the file in his hand. “This is all we could find for now. It seems that Thomas has honed his skills during his eight years in the military.”

“He even dared to hit my precious grandson? And almost disabled him?” Leah’s eyes widened with anger.

Does he not know who Gavin is? He’s the future head of the Pearson Family! Such a noble status. How dare this Thomas even lay a hand on him? And from the report, he has practically beaten everyone in the Pearson Family, from the elders to the youngest. What now? Does he think the Pearsons are pushovers? Even though I have long left the Pearson Family and am no longer a member, Norman is my biological son, and Gavin and Yukine are my grandchildren! How can I let him bully them like this?

“Alright, I got it.” She waved her hand, dismissing the man in the suit.

Not long after, a young man and woman walked in, full of youthful energy. The young woman hugged Leah’s arm and acted coquettishly, saying, “Grandma.”

Leah embraced the two in her arms, her face filled with kindness. “You two little troublemakers. You’re finally back. Tell me, where have you two been?”

These two were her grandchildren. After she left the Pearson Family, she remarried and had children.

If Declan knew about this story regarding his mother, he probably wouldn’t know how to react.

“Where else can we go, Grandma? This place is so backward. If I had known it was this lousy here, I would have stayed abroad.”

“Yeah. Grandma, since when did you get in touch with the people from this place? Whatever happens to them has nothing to do with us. Let’s go back. This place is so boring.”

“Be good. After I finish dealing with things here, I’ll take you two back. Just bear with it for a little longer.”

At 8.00PM, Declan returned to the suite, accompanied by Ophelie. He could bring her back because the Denver Family showed him some respect, considering their good relationship. As for Olivia, he couldn’t bring her back. He told her that her grandmother had returned and wanted to see her, but she directly refused, saying, “Grandma? How come I don’t know I have a grandma? I’m busy, Uncle Declan. I can’t go.”

Although Olivia had a good relationship with Declan, she still had lingering fears from when Terrence faked his illness to trick her into coming back. I don’t want to have anything to do with the Pearson Family anymore. Who knows what dangers in the dragon’s den lie ahead of me? Besides, I haven’t seen my so-called grandmother for so many years, and I haven’t even heard of her existence. Now I’m suddenly told that she’s back. Who would believe that?
