Chapter 914 The Story about Julien's Parents
At it, the Old Madam became startled.
But soon, she calmed down and nodded with a sigh. "The biggest problem is that Dallin is still alive. Although you have never met him, you will see him one day anyway. Then the secret will be exposed, and you’ll know about it. But how did you learn about the secret since you’ve never met Dallin?"
The Old Madam stared at Julien.
Julien took a step back and sat in a chair on her left. "Leaf told me about it."
"Syd?" The Old Madam became stunned.
So did Felicia. "How did Ms. Raines know about it?"
‘The secret is just between the Old Madam and me. Even Mr. Julien himself didn’t know about it. How did Ms. Raines learn about it?
‘This is really strange.’
"After meeting Dallin, Leaf thought he was very similar to the former me, and she made such a guess," Julien answered straightforwardly, without hiding anything.
The Old Madam suddenly tightened her hold on the cane. "What? Syd met Dallin? How did she meet him? Did she go to Jackal City?”
"No." Julien shook his head. "Dallin came to our city for his illegitimate daughter and met Leaf. His daughter plotted against Leaf, so we called the police to arrest her.”
"I see." The Old Madam nodded understandingly, and then a strange expression appeared on her face. "Julien, you mentioned his illegitimate daughter just now. Does Dallin have an illegitimate daughter?"
Julien nodded. "Yes. He seems to have an illegitimate daughter."
Julien was still doubting whether Greta was his illegitimate daughter.
But before Zach's investigation results came out, Julien regarded Greta as his illegitimate daughter.
Hearing Julien's words, the Old Madam rapped the floor with her cane and gave a sneer. "An illegitimate daughter? Huh! Isabel loved such a man."
Isabel was the nickname of Julien’s mother.
The Old Madam always addressed her as Isabel.
"I don't know whether your mother would feel angry and regretted if she knew what Dallin has done." The Old Madam looked up at Julien.
Julien clenched his fists and looked up at her. "Grandma, do you also know the agreement between my mother and Dallin?"
She nodded. "Yes, I know. Though your mother thought she managed to hide it from me, I knew everything that she had done. When your mother married your father, your father had just inherited Flint Corporation. Compared with those people who are born to be a businessman or a leader, your father seemed mediocre, so at that time, many high-level executives refused to defer to your father's decisions. Later, it was I who temporarily took the post of president to help your father daunt them in the corporation so that your father could cultivate his loyal subordinates. Therefore, the most powerful person in our family at that time was not your father, but me. And I asked many men
to watch Flint Corporation and our family in case those people had planted spies. So, I knew everything your mother had done."
Julien listened to the Old Madam quietly.
After listening, he had a guess, and his pupils dilated slightly. "Well... you also know how my mother got pregnant?"
The Old Madam sighed. "Of course. Didn't I say that I knew everything your mother had done? I really got furious when I learned that your mother and Dallin had an agreement that she would stay a virgin for him. I was aware that your mother married your father unwillingly. She had a lover. But as she had to marry your father due to the engagement, your mother had to break up with her lover and become your father's wife. For this reason, we felt very guilty. This was also the reason why we neglected your mother being indifferent to your father until she conceived."
The Old Madam gave a mocking smile and continued, "When I found that your mother was pregnant, to be honest, I didn’t feel happy, but strange. Because your mother didn't like your father and treated him coldly, how could she accept that she was his wife? Then I asked someone to investigate what had happened, and the truth almost pissed me off. As your mother promised to be a virgin for Dallin, there was nothing between her and your father. She didn’t get pregnant in a natural way, but through artificial fertilization. She did so just because your father promised her that he would give her freedom as long as she bore him an heir."
"Madam, have some tea, please." Hearing her hoarse voice, Felicia handed her the tea.
After drinking the tea, the Old Madam added, "This is the only way for your mother to have a baby. But it’s utter nonsense. As a married woman, your mother couldn't leave her lover behind and did those things. Your father even indulged her decision and cooperated with her, though I knew your father wanted to respect her and not to force her. Your father was willing to give in because he understood that your mother wouldn't forget Dallin and fall in love with him."
The Old Madam gave a cold snort suddenly. "Julien, don't think your father was so generous and great that he could allow his wife to be with another man. Actually, your father was very sad because he loved your mother genuinely."
“What?” Julien was shocked. "My father loved my mother?"
"Yes." The Old Madam nodded.
"How is this possible..." Julien’s eyes widened in disbelief. Obviously, he hadn't recovered from the shock.
Since he was a child, he had noticed that his mother was cold to his father and that his father was polite to his mother.
The two of them were worse than strangers. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
But now his grandma told him that in fact, his father loved his mother.
"Mr. Julien, it's true. Your father really loved your mother in the past. You probably don't know how their engagement comes," said Felicia, gazing at Julien kindly.
Julien shook his head in confusion.
He had no idea.
Felicia looked at the Old Madam.
The latter nodded. "Tell him."
Gaining the Old Madam’s permission, Felicia slowly said, "Actually, your mother and your father knew each other when they were children. At that time, your father was ten years old while your mother was seven years old. They met at a party and had a good time together. When they parted,
your mother was reluctant to leave and asked your father not to forget her. She even said that she wanted to be your father's bride when she grew up. Although we adults all knew that it was just a joke, your father took it seriously and even went to Jackal City to find your mother secretly. He was only ten years old then."
"What happened later?" Looking at Felicia, Julien wanted to hear more about his parents’ story.
He was ten years old when his mother died.
He was only a teenager when his father died.
So, he knew little about his parents’ past.
