?Chapter 1754:


    After a pause, he continued, “You likely remain unaware of the extraordinary position Car upies within the Happer family. Throughout her father’s generation and the one that preceded it, no daughters graced the family line. Car emerged as the first and only female during that era. The moment she was born, the entire Happer family erupted in unprecedented celebration. Her grandfather, whomanded the family empire at that time, bestowed upon her twenty percent of the business shares as a birth gift.”


    Lucas looked at Belinda. “To illustrate this remarkable situation, consider that even though Nn currently serves as the CEO of Happer Group, he merely has thirteen percent of the shares. This should paint a clear picture of how treasured Car is in the family. And it extends far beyond just her grandfather’s devotion to her; her father and two brothers shower her withplete adoration as well. So when they learned of the incident, the whole family came here to see her.”


    Following Lucas’prehensive exnation, Belinda nodded with dawning realization. These intricate family dynamics had remainedpletely hidden from her awareness before.


    Her knowledge had extended only to the obvious affection Lyle and Mitchell had demonstrated toward Kylee.


    At that moment, Belinda asked Lucas, “Will you remain home with me tomorrow?”


    “Of course,” Lucas replied without hesitation. “I’ll arrange for Gordon to transport my work directly to the house.”


    “I appreciate that tremendously,” Belinda replied, her smile blooming as she lifted herself slightly to nt a tender kiss on Lucas’ cheek.


    Lucas’ mouth curved into a warm smile, and he leaned down to return the gentle gesture, pressing his lips softly against Belinda’s cheek.


    Drawing Belinda closer into his protective embrace, Lucas appeared to recall something significant. His voice dropped to a low, gravelly whisper. “Gordon haspleted the investigation concerning my sister.”


    At this revtion, Belinda’s curiosity sparked immediately as she asked, “What did he find?”<fn7e68> Readplete version only at fin?novel</fn7e68>

    “Absolutely nothing,” Lucas replied, his expression hardening into something cold.


    Belinda detected the underlying implications threading through his words. Her longshes trembled slightly as she asked, “Nothing? Does this suggest that…”


    Lucas’ voice carried a deep resonance as he exined, “Every single trace of what transpired—from the moment my sister conceived until she delivered her child—has been systematically and deliberately erased.”


    “Erased?” Belinda’s eyes widened with genuine shock.


    “Precisely,” Lucas said with a slight nod, releasing a scoff. “But this only suggests that my sister has something to hide. If circumstances had unfolded naturally, and Faye had entered this world underpletely normal conditions, what possible reason would drive my sister to erase every trace of that period? Doesn’t this cover-up only serve to raise suspicions?”


    After a brief moment of reflection, Belinda gave a small nod. “You’re right. That is far too suspicious.”


    She paused, her voice lowering slightly. “It really does seem now that there’s something odd about Faye’s parentage.”


    Lucas said nothing, but the silence between them spoke volumes; he thought the same.
