Chapter 385

Maisie lowered her eyes and said, “Even if Nolan’s great-grandfather nearly died in your father’s hands,
you got revenge on his mother already, right? They don’t owe you anything anymore, so why can you let
bygones be bygones?”

Two wrongs didn’t make it right. Why must they pass on their hate to the younger generation?

Hernandez’s face turned grim. “They don’t owe me anything anymore?”

His countenance was stem as he said calmly, “I would never forgive them. Besides, you don’t even know
what they did to us that

year.”

Maisie did not say anything. She clutched her hands on her laps tightly.

At that moment, Hemandez suddenly turned around and pulled his pants up. What appeared in front of
Maisie was not a healthy human leg. Instead, it was a prosthetic leg.

Maisie was stunned.

“See? Patrick cut off my leg in an attempt to force my father to quit the government,” Hernandez said, his
voice filled with rage. “I was only eight, just a kid. The pain of having my leg chopped off is a nightmare
that I can’t get out of my life, and the person who gave me this nightmare was Nolan’s great-
grandfather!”

Maisie’s face tumed slightly pale.

His leg was cut off when he was eight!?’



Hernandez took a few breaths to calm himself down. After regaining his composure, he harrumphed.
“Patrick promised my father that he would keep me safe and sound as long as he quit politics, but he still
reneged on his promise. Well, it was wrong of us to trust a mutt who grew up in a slum. He was a rogue,
a scoundrel, so of course, he wouldn’t keep his promise.

“My father went to look for Patrick to avenge me. He should count his blessing that he didn’t die in my
father’s hands in the end. However, after I tumed 16 and took over the de Arma family, my father
suddenly passed away.”

Maisie could see the hatred in his eyes. It was so deeply rooted that it seemed impossible to be
resolved.



“When I went to look for the cause of my father’s death, it was only then I learned of the relationship
between Patrick and the b* stard he had with the eldest princess,” Hernandez said, derision thick in his
voice.

As for the “b*stard” he mentioned, Maisie had heard about him from Nolan when she was in the training
camp.

That child was Nolan’s grandfather. The royal blood of Stoslo flowed in him, but he was not legally part of
the royal family.

To the royal family of Stoslo, Nolan’s grandfather, his great-grandfather, and the whole Goldmann family
were “disgrace.”

Nolan’s great-grandfather had merely been a servant of the eldest princess, but they fell in love with
each other and had an illegitimate child, which the royal family would never recognize.



Nolan’s grandfather used to lead a turbulent life and even be hunted at all times because of his heritage.

If everything Hemandez said was true-if it was the Goldmanns who had behaved badly, gone back their
promise, and murdered Hemandez’s father-they should have known that it was them who did the wrong
thing first and that the de Arma family was just taking their “revenge” by killing Nolan’s mother. Why
would the Goldmanns hate the de Amma family so much? 1

Was it really because of the incident involving Nolan’s mother?

Maisie felt something was amiss, so she asked, “Are you really sure that Nolan’s great-grandfather
murdered your father?”

Hernandez snorted. “Do you think it’s possible for me to make a joke about this? No one in this world
knows the Goldmanns better than I do.”

Maisie frowned deeply.

Looking at the serious expression on her face, Hemandez continued. “I’ll tell you this again. If you don’t
want anything to happen to you or your children, stay away from the Goldmanns. The de Arma family is
not the only enemy the Goldmanns have. A lot of people died at Patrick’s hands, and those aristocrats
aren’t happy with them. You’re Marina’s daughter, so I won’t lay a hand on you even if I’m going to get
revenge on the Goldmanns. However, I’m not sure about the others.”
