Chapter 135: Why Didn’t You Protect My Mother?
Claire didn’t call Robert Dad anymore because Robert was not her real father
and he raised her with her mother’s money, so he couldn’t be considered as her adoptive father.
She no longer had any family affection for this man.
“I want to know who my father is, do you know?”
“Well…”
This was a secret that only the Summers knew, and originally Robert didn’t
know it, but Winona told him before she died.
He licked his dry lips and said in a low voice, “Your father… Your father
is Joseph Felix. His name used to be Joseph Summers, he is the adopted son of
Master Summers. He and your mother grew up together, in the eyes of outsiders, he was the older brother of Miss Winona and Miss Paula…”
“Joseph?”
Frederick’s back straightened up, he looked as if he had heard an extremely incredible thing, and his face paled instantly.
Sean’s brow furrowed as well, “It’s him?”
Claire had not heard of this man, and seeing that the two of them looked serious, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong with him?”
At the mention of Joseph, Frederick closed his eyes despondently, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear, as if he had understood everything.

“I didn’t know who Joseph really is, and before I got engaged to Winona, the Vanderbilts didn’t have much dealings with the Summers, so they didn’t know that Master Summers had an adopted son. But…”
He paused for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
“What Joseph did afterward is known to almost everyone in Ascalon.”
“Uh–huh.”
Sean’s voice was light, “He is the illegitimate son of the Felix family, all
we know is that he was raised outside the family, and the Felix family had never had any intention of taking him in. We don’t know what method he usec to get the head of the Felix family in jail, he hasn’t gotten out of jail even till now. And then he managed to become the head of the Felix family
himself, and…”
Frederick took a deep breath and continued, “And he drove his half–brothers out of the country, none of the direct lines of the Felix family ended well. A lot of them went to jail, some died and some escaped.
Now he’s the head.”
Claire heard and understood that Joseph, in the hearts of the Ascalon people, was a cold–blooded and heartless man who brutalized his own brothers.
She frowned and rubbed her fingers, “Since he’s so resourceful, why didn’t he protect my mother back then?”
“I know the answer!”
Robert hurriedly raised his hand and smiled fawningly, “At that time, the Summers family in Ascalon was also a prominent family. Master Summers is cruel man and Joseph was brought up by Master Summers since he was a chi

manage the family business in the future, but he didn’t expect that his two daughters would fall in love with him. Joseph was a bastard, there was no way Master Summers would marry his daughter to him, he would only…
Speaking of which, he stole a glance at Frederick and smiled awkwardly, “He would only marry his daughter to someone like Mr. Frederick.”
Frederick suddenly clenched his fists and Robert hurried back to the subject.
“Master Summers wanted to make Ms. Winona give up on Joseph, so, to break
Miss Winona’s heart, he wanted to marry Ms. Paula to Joseph. However, Ms.
Paula and Ms. Winona love each other, for Ms. Winona’s happiness, Ms. Paula randomly slept with a man and threatened Master Summers that she would kill herself if he forced her to marry Joseph.”
Frederick realized, “So that’s how Paula and Samuel Klauford got married.”
“Uh, yes.” Robert nodded, “After that, Joseph had thought he would finally be able to marry Ms. Winona when Master Summers sent him abroad on business Right after he left the country, Master Summers proposed a marriage with the
Vanderbilts.”
Frederick was stunned.
As the truth of the matter slowly emerged to the surface, he couldn’t find peace within himself.
It turned out it was because of him that Winona’s life was ruined.
It turned out he ruined her happiness without even realizing it.
“Frederick.”
one in the world understood Frederick better than Sean.

“This is not your fault, even without you, there would have been someone else. Master Summers did not want Winona to marry Joseph from the very beginning.”
Frederick smiled bitterly, “That’s true, but it’s still because of me, even if I didn’t know the truth, I started everything.”

Following a shocking and emotionally exhausting break–up, Amber Jean has a steamy and passionate one–night stand with a random stranger, Ryan, who she meets at a club.
Claire gave Frederick a stare, she didn’t have much feelings for the man. She
didn’t like him, nor did she hate him.
This was already something from a long time ago, and Frederick didn’t even know about her mother and Joseph. It was good enough he didn’t deny his part in the story. However, Claire knew that it wasn’t that simple.
“Robert, did you just say that someone was trying to hurt my mom? Do you know who it was?”
“Of course, I don’t!” Robert was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him and
tried his best to prove his innocence, “If I had known it, I wouldn’t have let Ms. Winona die in the accident. Claire, I have raised you for so many years, even if I don’t see you as my daughter, you were raised by me, I won’t lie to you about this matter.””
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and slapped his thigh, and immediately wailed in pain, “Jesus Christ!”
Chapter 135 Why Didn’t You Protect My Mother?
Claire frowned, “Take it easy, I wasn’t suspecting you, just say what pops into your head.”
Robert frowned for a long time before he endured the pain and said, “Your marriage with Xander, you should still remember it, right? The idea of the marriage was rooted in Ms. Winona saving Evelyn’s life. In my opinion, the accident must have been planned by that person, a trap set for Ms. Winona. But Evelyn was one step ahead and fell into it, Ms. Winona spotted it and saved her. You can confirm it with Evelyn, I’m not lying.”
It was something Claire knew about, of course. However, she just had two things she couldn’t figure out.
“Since my mother had escaped Ascalon and Joseph is abroad, why didn’t she contact Joseph? They could have just fled and never returned to Ascalon
again!”
Robert blinked and looked confused, “I don’t know.”
Claire pursed her lips hard, “Then why didn’t Paula help my mother when she was forced into marriage? Or had Paula been acting the whole time?”
At this moment, Frederick said, “Winona’s escape from the wedding was planned by Paula.”
Claire looked at him in shock, “Frederick, you knew?”
“Uh–huh.” Frederick nodded, “On the day of the wedding, when we couldn’t find the bride, Paula said it herself in confession.”
Now Claire was completely lost.
