Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1251

He looked at me, clearly unsettled.

"Do you know why I said that?" I asked Millard.

He seemed taken aback by my sudden question but quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because before I came here, Anson told me that if I encountered any trouble, I should find someone specific," I said, pausing intentionally and looking at him.

He immediately became eager, putting his leg down from the stool and asking, "Who?"

"Someone called Millard Huffman," I said firmly.

I didn't know how I dared say that, but I did. My logic seemed clear, and I came up with it on the spot.

I was taking a risk, but there was no turning back now. Hence, I continued, “He asked me to find where this person is. Oh, right. He wanted me to check if this guy is still working for Navi too.”

“You're lying!” Millard roared.

He was right. From my understanding of Anson, he wouldn’t give Millard a second chance, even if he knew Millard was working with Navi. Millard betrayed him, after all.

Plus, he had so many men working for him. I was sure he knew exactly where Millard was.

I had to find a reason to convince Millard that I was telling him the truth. That was the most important thing to do now.

"Hah! You don't understand how soft an old man can be toward his child," I said calmly, then asked him, "How long have you been away from the Huffman family?"

"12 years," Millard replied stiffly. "At the time, his daughter was only in her teens."

"Do you know why he asked me to handle this matter?" I asked him again.

"No," he said, completely puzzled.

I smiled faintly, giving him a moment to digest the information.

Then, I looked at him and sighed, "You had plenty of opportunities, but you ruined them yourself.

"A while ago, something happened to Trinity. Anson told me he never wanted to hand over the Huffman family to Trinity. He just didn’t have anyone he trusted enough to manage the family. He sounded disappointed in you because he knew your potential.”

"What happened to Trinity?" Millard immediately asked.

It seemed he still cared a lot about Trinity.

"She went missing. But there's news of her now. Anyway, Anson once talked to me about the Huffman family's affairs. He hoped for a man to take over the family so that Trinity could live a normal life, get married, and have children with the man she loves.

"But unfortunately, he doesn't have a son. He mentioned that he once had an adopted son, but he pushed him too hard, and the rest of his words went unsaid. I think... it must be you, right? Did he adopt any other sons?”
