Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

On the other side, Joyce saw Felix’s eyes widen to their maximum, revealing fear. She knew in her heart that Felix must have figured something out. She nudged Luther, hinting at him to further inquire.

Luther nodded and held onto Felix’s shoulder, preventing him from getting too agitated, then asked, “Felix, do you know who it is?”

With a snap, Felix forcefully broke the chopsticks in his hand. He stood up abruptly and exclaimed, “Coming back from the dead, in his forties, there’s only one person who fits that description-Seren!!”

“Ah!” Mr. Ball’s reaction was even greater than anyone had imagined. He couldn’t stay seated and fell directly to the ground from his chair.

The loud commotion made Joyce and Luther exchange glances. Seren? Who was this person? They must be a terrifying character if they could frighten Mr. Ball enough to make him fall off his chair.

Mr. Ball lay sprawled on the ground. “This can’t be possible. That scum didn’t die? If he didn’t die, how could he have stayed quiet all these years? Mr. Saunders, I know you’re eager to save someone, but you can’t let your imagination run wild. A person who clearly died, claiming that he crawled out of the coffin to cause trouble.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Felix coldly replied, “I don’t want it to be him either. But besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who would have a connection with Fox.”

“Just now, your man, Nishant, the person he brought back for questioning, made some progress. Do you have a photo of Seren? Let Nishant show it to the person he brought back and confirm if it’s Seren,” Luther suggested.

“I don’t have a photo of Seren. We share the same surname but have no connection. Moreover, it’s been many years, and even if I had photos before, I deleted them a long time ago,” Felix shook his head. “Besides, my memory of Seren’s appearance is not very clear.”

“I have it, I have a photo of Seren,” Mr. Ball got up from the ground. “I have a picture of that scum.”

“That’s right. You transferred from the Hilton side, so Seren was originally your master,” Felix glanced at Mr. Ball. No wonder Mr. Ball’s reaction was even more intense than his own.

“Don’t mention that scum. He doesn’t deserve it. Besides torturing women, he also tortured my brothers. They were abused and beaten. As long as they didn’t comply with him, they would suffer his torment. I have several brothers who were killed by him. He is truly a monster among monsters. When he died, all my brothers applauded and felt that justice was served,” Mr. Ball spoke while walking back inside the room. “Wait for me, I’ll bring out the old computer. If I remember correctly, the old hard drive should have something.”

After Mr. Ball left, Joyce asked, “Felix, is there any grudge between Vicki and Seren? Your expression just now worried me.”

Felix clenched his fists, unable to hide his concern in his expression. Taking advantage of Mr. Ball’s absence, he briefly recounted the past entanglement between Vicki, Seren, and Cloud.

After listening, Joyce’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect the remarkable Vicki to have such a dark past. It seemed that her previous experiences must have left a deep shadow in Vicki’s heart. And as for Cloud, whose real name was Rayan, Joyce hadn’t expected such a deep connection between them. It was truly surprising.

After Felix finished speaking, Mr. Ball walked out with the computer. The computer was already turned on, and Mr. Ball searched through the old files until he found a photo of Seren.

He pointed at the photo with his finger. “Don’t be fooled by his appearance; he’s rotten to the core, a complete monster. Countless women were killed by him in the past. My brothers who suffered his torment had nowhere to seek justice. If he’s still alive, it’s an affront to justice.”

Luther examined the photo and said, “Felix, send the photo to Nishant now. Let him confirm if the person in the photo is Seren.”

Felix nodded. Although he was anxious, confirming who had taken Vicki was of utmost importance. Without a direction, they would be lost even if they attempted a rescue.

Mr. Ball sent the photo to Nishant while Felix dialed Nishant’s video call.

In the video, Nishant was in a dimly lit room, surrounded on all sides, making it impossible for even a breeze to pass through. One of the black-clothed individuals he had brought back was tied up in a chair, clearly undergoing interrogation.

Nishant asked, “Mr. Saunders, do you have any instructions for me?”

Felix looked at the video and said, “Show the person in front of you the photo I just sent you. Is this the same person?”

Nishant nodded and grabbed the black-clothed person’s hair, forcing them to look up. He enlarged the photo sent by Mr. Ball and placed it in front of the person’s eyes. “Take a good look. Is this the person who ordered you? It’s an old photo, so the appearance shouldn’t have changed much.”

The black-clothed person looked at the photo several times and shook their head with a hoarse voice, “No, it doesn’t look like him.”

Upon hearing this, Felix’s heart sank. He couldn’t tell if he felt relieved or more anxious. If it truly wasn’t Seren, then they had lost their target. But then, who could it be?

Mr. Ball snorted, “I told you that scum Seren couldn’t possibly still be alive.”

At that moment, the black-clothed person in the video seemed to react to the name Seren. They suddenly looked up and said in a raspy voice, “Seren? I heard that name once. I don’t know if it’s the person you’re talking about. Please let me go. I’ve told you everything I know. I’m just doing this for money, I have no relationship with them. Our task was limited to last night, and once it was done, we went our separate ways.”

Felix was taken aback. “Seren? So there’s a possibility it’s really Seren. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? By the way, you mentioned that his features were a bit off. Can you explain in more detail?”

The black-clothed person replied, “I just felt that his features weren’t natural, especially when he smiled, his muscles seemed stiff.”

“Plastic surgery,” Joyce suddenly interjected.

“Plastic surgery?” Felix turned around abruptly, looking at Joyce.

“Yes. It’s usually women who get plastic surgery, and it’s rare for men. If the surgery isn’t handled well or it’s been a long time since the procedure, the results can appear unnatural, especially when smiling. It’s a common phenomenon,” Joyce analyzed. “Because the plastic surgery techniques in the past weren’t as refined, I’ve seen some women who had surgery many years ago, and they indeed had this issue.”

Luther suddenly clapped his hands. “I understand now. Seren must not have died back then, or he was in a coma or some other reason. After waking up, he used plastic surgery to hide. That’s why no one knew, and there were no traces. Gathering strength over the years, the current Seren has captured Vicki and wants to strike back at the Saunders family.”

Learning from Athena’s lesson, he quickly connected the dots-coma, awakening, and revenge. The script seemed almost identical.
