Chapter 8 Return to Its Rightful Owner
Standing just a few steps away, Yank looked at Austin coldly while Austin seemed as if he didn't see anything. This old fox was really ruthless.
Before he returned to the Long family, Yank had received a message from Ellie. Just as the laughing Buddha was about to kidnap Lucy, Austin sent a skillful killer to almost wipe out the Browns. All the people older than thirty were killed.
It turned out that the Browns had already planted spies in the Long Family. The Browns knew the true identity of Lucy and Yank. Carson personally went to arrest Yank and failed, so he immediately sent the laughing Buddha and Kim to kill them. His ultimate target was Yank's master, Lucy's biological father.
When Austin learned that the news was leaked, he directly killed all the insiders of the Browns.
Yank would not foolishly think that Austin did everything just to protect him and Lucy.
According to the clues found by Ellie, there seemed to be some shocking secret about his master back then. Therefore, the Long family and all the aristocratic families here wanted to find his master and gain great benefits.
But so far, except for the Browns, the other families still did not know the identities of Yank and Lucy. Otherwise, the Browns would not be the only family to come after them today.
Ellie asked Yank if he should continue investigating the past. Yank did not agree.
No matter what had happened that year, since he had come to Bayland, he would be responsible for everything.
Even if he would be the enemy of the entire Bayland clan, he would never retreat.
Austin comforted Lucy patiently. Half an hour later, Lucy broke into a smile and wiped away her tears.
"Austin, you called me back before. What's the matter?" Lucy sat beside Austin and asked.
Austin looked at her with a complicated expression. He turned around, took a bag, and handed it to her. Lucy was stunned when she opened it.
"Austin, I..." Lucy looked at the file in her hand in panic.
It was the missing part of the files of the GD Company. Apparently, that meant her grandfather had already known what she had done.
"Grandpa, I don't doubt you. I just..." Lucy explained immediately.
Austin patted the back of her hand and said, "Lucy, I'm not angry. It's natural for a daughter to miss her father. What's more, the GD Group was founded by your father, so I handed it over to you regardless of your uncle's opposition. I just return it to its rightful owner."
"If your father knows, he can rest in peace."
Austin's eyes misted over as he spoke.
Lucy wiped his tears immediately and explained that she wanted to solve the misunderstanding between Yank and her grandfather, hence she wanted to know what actually happened.
Austin nodded with a smile. "Maybe you've been wondering why I didn't tell you your father's name, and I didn't want others to know that you were his daughter."
"Austin, I got it. I believe that you won't hurt me. Everything you have done must be for the good of me." Tears poured down Lucy's face. She hugged Austin and sobbed.
"That's because your father offended many families for the Long family. In order to get rid of your father, those families framed your father for taking an important thing from them. Later, an accident happened to your father, so the matter was smothered up. All these years, I have been hiding your identity because I was afraid that they would hurt you."
"Although your father didn't die back then, I think he didn't come back to see you because he didn't want to didn't bring you any trouble from his enemies. Don't blame him."
After Austin finished speaking, he kindly rubbed the hair on top of her head.
Lucy nodded heavily with truly trust and gratitude for Austin.
Yank looked at all this coldly without saying a word.
He knew that Lucy had fully believed Austin's words. Without evidence, he could not expose Austin at all.
In the past few years, Yank had faced countless situations of life and death, but none of them confused him like this.
Yank didn't want to enjoy Austin's performance anymore, so he turned around and left the room.
Looking at Yank's back, a sinister smile flashed across Austin's face. Lucy, who was bathed in happiness, did not notice it at all.
At this time, in the most luxurious KTV private room in Bayland, Lucy's eldest uncle, Ted Long, was lying with a flushed face in the arms of a barwoman. He was drunk and a little unconscious. Next to him was the drunken Mike. Two bar women beside him were still plying him wine.
After a while, Ted stood up unsteadily, squeezed in front of Meyer, and put his arm around his shoulder. "Mi... Mike, how... how did you know Yank?"
The beautiful woman next to Mike held up a glass of wine and handed it to Mike's mouth. He raised his head, drank it, and then patted Ted on the shoulder excitedly. "I... I'll tell you... I'll tell you, your niece married the Pr..."00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
