Chapter 1528

Ask Her The Truth

Sally felt like she had been hit with a brick and could not react to the information.

A moment of silence passed while she tried to digest what Kyle said to her. “Is what you said true?”

“That’s what I heard from the rumors. However, only your mother knows the truth to the matter, so you
would have to ask her.”

Sally’s expression dimmed. Are those rumors true? Can I trust them? Dad refuses to tell me why he
hates the Seet family and Seet Group so much. Is it possible that this is the reason for it? Is it because
Evan had ruined my mother’s life?

Thousands of thoughts flew across Sally’s mind.

If Evan was responsible for it, Dad would likely hate him and want revenge. Given that Evan cut off
Dad’s arm and wanted to take our family’s lives after that, then I cannot blame Dad for hating on him.
Dad’s desire to destroy Seet Group is justified. However, if that’s the case, Kyle becomes the son of a
man that raped my mother. How am I supposed to face Kyle after I know all of this?

Then, Kyle interrupted her thoughts. “Sally, the only solution is to ask your mother the truth. Ask her
about her impression of the perpetrator so we can clarify what happened back then.”

“How can I possibly bring something like this up to her? That’s equivalent to stabbing her heart with a
knife,” Sally responded in exasperation.

“I’m afraid this knife was already in her heart for years. It’s something she has never been able to pull
out. Giving her the chance to speak out and look for the culprit could be a way to relieve her aching
heart. It could allow her to live more freely and comfortably in the future.”



“But—”

Sally was still hesitant.

She looked up at Kyle. “What if my mother admits that it was your father responsible for it? Will you
allow my mother to take revenge then? How should she avenge herself? Should she kill him?”

“It isn’t my father! Please believe me, Sally.”

Sally silently stood up and muttered, “If it was your father’s doing, I’ll help my father to take revenge for
my mother. Your family will have to pay. On the other hand, if your father is innocent, I’ll help stop my
father from hurting the Seet family. Wait for me to clarify things, Kyle. Who knows, after I leave, we
might end up as enemies.”

Hearing that, Kyle insisted, “No. I’m sure that you’ll stand on the same side as me and try to prevent
this disaster from happening.”

I hope so too.

Without another word, Sally straightened and left the office for Maupay Manor.

On the way there, she thought about her parent’s relationship. Kyle’s analysis seemed to make sense.

How could I not realize that such a horrifying incident had happened to Mom? Perhaps the way Dad
used Mom to threaten me that day was a sign of how much she meant to him. After what happened to
Mom, she probably disgusted him. Over these years, he treated her like a stranger living under our roof
and had few words for her. Maybe, he only stayed with her because of Skyler and me.

It scared Sally the more she pondered over the matter. How did Mom manage to live through the hurt
she felt and the hostility from Dad?



Subconsciously, Sally stepped on the accelerator, hoping to reach her mother, Ruby, as soon as
possible.

When she reached the hideout, she headed straight for Ruby’s room. She saw the older woman staring
out of the window blankly.

Taking small steps toward her mother, Sally noticed how weak and skinny she looked. Her sunken eyes
looked dim, which made Sally’s heart ache.

Her mother was still a rare beauty even though she was older and had aged. The elegance she held
had not diminished the slightest throughout the years.

“Mom.”

The older woman turned around and emotionlessly acknowledged, “You’re home.”

Sally nodded and wrapped her hands around her mother’s. “Mom, I have something to talk with you
about.”
