Chapter 531: The truth of that year
"I'll go over? Then is it okay for you to stay here?" Kong Xiyan did not directly agree to Stella's request, but asked about her situation: "Are you scared?"
"It's okay. I'm not afraid as long as you are with me." Stara smiled and shook her head.
"Then don't you want to go over and listen for yourself?" Kong Xiyan looked at Stella: "Aren't you also curious about the whole story?"
"It's because of curiosity that I want to ask Village Chief Xiao Kong to help me listen." Starla pursed her lips and lowered her eyes: "To be honest, I'm actually a little scared of this place.
I know people here should be friendly to me, but I'm still scared.
And I haven't figured out how to face them. I know they are my blood relatives and they love me, but this love is a bit heavy for me now. I don't know how to respond, and I even want to escape.
I'm not comfortable here. I know I shouldn't be like this. I'm such a coward, but I..."
I had just experienced a near-death experience and witnessed a young life disappear just like that, and the person who did it was the Wilson family's butler.
The one who was very friendly and kept saying that he didn't want to hurt her.
Starla felt a little confused.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest first. I'll be back after I finish listening." Kong Xiyan nodded and went straight out downstairs.
At this moment, in the living room, the head of the Wilson family sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, and all the servants had been sent away.
Lucas Wilson sat on the left of the Wilson family head, while Marco Wilson sat opposite them, staring at his fingers with his head down.
The injured butler was also there. He had simply stopped the bleeding and hadn't even changed his clothes. He looked extremely miserable.
"You're not going to tell the truth even now?" Patriarch Wilson frowned and looked at Marco, who was sitting opposite him. "What exactly happened back then?"
"That was a long time ago." Marco turned away and said, "Is it necessary to bring it up now?"
"Yes." Lucas's expression was unusually serious: "Because of what happened back then, Stella has been trapped again and again. You must explain clearly."
Marco pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
"Back then, three of you brothers boarded the ship, but you were the only one who returned, dressed in rags. You said you were lucky and were rescued by a passing cargo ship." The Wilson family head looked at Marco and said, "Everyone on that ship died. We didn't want to make it public and cause trouble, so we lied to everyone and said you didn't go.
Only your two brothers went, Marco. None of us wants to talk about what happened back then. It was a tragedy.
But that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Marco finally sighed and said frankly, "I did go, but I didn't get on the boat."
"Why haven't you boarded the ship? Aren't you looking forward to it?" Patriarch Wilson said, "The Eastern Morning Star is incredibly luxurious and mysterious. Of the three of you brothers, you're clearly the one looking forward to it the most."
"Yeah, I was the one looking forward to it the most. They both went along because of my constant persuasion." Marco lowered his eyes, "But...but before I boarded the ship, I was completely captivated by a Brazilian chick.
This chick hooked me up on a nearby cargo ship to make out, and I went, and then... I got... hooked."
Lucas frowned, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth downwards, with a complicated expression.
This incident sounds outrageous, but when you think about the person who encountered this incident is Marco, it is not so outrageous.
Kong Xiyan on the second floor was leaning on the railing, obviously having the same idea.
"She tricked me into taking off all my clothes, and I...that was when I was most vulnerable." Marco reached out and scratched his hair. "They took away all my clothes, shoes, and my ticket to board the ship, and then left.
I couldn't get out, so I hid on the cargo ship. The cargo ship later went out to sea and returned. The old captain on the ship found me. I said that I was a person who was killed at sea, and my clothes... my clothes were all washed away by the sea water.
He looked unconvinced, but he gave me a set of old clothes, and I went ashore in that state.
It was only after I came ashore that I heard about the Eastern Morning Star.
I am also very sad that this happened, but I really don’t have the face to say that I avoided that terrible tsunami because of this incident.
I... I don’t know whether I am lucky or unlucky, I just... I don’t know either.”
Marco's voice became smaller and smaller. Over the years, he became more and more fond of drinking and more and more addicted to absurd relationships. In the final analysis, he still did not want to face what happened in the past.
Who is he?
A lucky bastard?
He found it ridiculous even when he said it himself.
"Oh my God..." The old butler's face turned even paler. He never expected that the truth would be like this.
"I didn't know people would suspect me of deliberately killing my brother. I really wish I had been on that ship. I..." Marco felt a sour taste in his mouth. "I don't want to say this. I wanted to take this to my grave."
"Take it away." The Wilson family head's voice was also full of fatigue: "Don't mention this matter again in the future."
How shameful...
The whole living room fell silent.
"If that's the case, why would someone send me something like that?" The old housekeeper's voice was heavy. He propped up his forehead with his hand, his voice full of bitterness: "Why would I believe that thing instead of the child I watched grow up? Why..."
"I also want to know why that person framed me like this." Marco's voice was low.
"The person who wronged you knows better than anyone else that you were wronged." Kong Xiyan's voice came from the stairs: "That Master is a master of hypnosis and a lunatic who is good at attacking the mind. This is not your fault."
Hearing Kong Xiyan's voice, everyone looked up.
"Oh, my God..." Marco scratched his hair in annoyance. This embarrassing thing was also heard by the oriental woman.
"Although I don't know how he approached you, it's too easy for an old man who lost his daughter to give you some psychological hints." Kong Xiyan walked down the stairs step by step and said, "Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout."
"Ms. Kong." Lucas stood up immediately: "Is Stella okay?"
"She's fine. She just had some hot milk tea. My sisters are with her now." Kong Xiyan came over: "Now, let's talk about cooperation."
"What cooperation?" The head of the Wilson family looked at Kong Xiyan.
"A collaboration that can uproot the Master and force him into a desperate situation." Kong Xiyan smiled.
After being plotted against for so long, it’s time for her to take the initiative.
