    My adoptive father, George, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "Were you the one who received the child from Navi?" rk turned to look at George, squinting slightly, while As urged in a sinister tone, "Speak!"


    "Yes." rk nodded, "That''s how I got to know Navi."


    "How old was the kid? Do you remember any distinguishing features?" He seemed eager and involuntarily took a step forward.


    I knew he was trying to find out about where Gemma was.


    "It was a girl. She was young, around 8 or 9 years old. There was nothing particrly distinctive about her."


    "And what happened to that child afterward?" I asked.


    "She... she is now Ms. Ste," rk said naturally.


    I nced at As.


    Ste again? But why had As said the test results proved she wasn''t Gemma?


    "Are there any other girls around Celine?" I asked.


    "I don''t know." rk nced at As, then quickly continued, "She never let me get close to her inner circle. She only entrusted me with minor tasks and dealt with me personally for trivial matters."


    It seemed like Celine had been very cautious.


    rk looked at George and said, "Actually, my most important task after the ne crash was to take care of Rory."


    "Why did you hand me over to Navi?" my dad asked coldly.


    "Because only I knew about Celine''s n to hide you," rk said sincerely.


    "You said only you knew? But you couldn''t have hidden him by yourself. How did you do it?" As asked sharply.


    "I hired a local. He helped me find a ce to hide Rory, and then I killed him," rk said, trembling.


    "Why did Celine want to kill youter?" I asked rk.


    "I overheard what she said on the phone. She found out, and I lost two children."


    "Two children?" George asked.


    "Mr. As and Ms. Chloe. She didn''t me me at that time, but she made me bring Mr. Rory back to her," rk said disdainfully.


    I looked at rk, realizing that he was right. It matched what As hadter discovered.


    It was clear that rk hadn''t handed my dad over to Celine for a reason.


    If rk had really handed my dad over to Celine, we wouldn''t have been able to be reunited today. Celine would have definitely tortured him a lot


    more.


    "I knew things weren''t going well back then. After all, I drugged you, and I had been responsible for hiding you all along. She had no reason to be suspicious and only asionally asked about you. She had no intention of taking care of you.


    "But since I eavesdropped on her phone call, she suddenly wanted to take over thought that she must have had some other ns. I knew that I was safe as long as I had you. Once I handed you over, I would be dead for sure."


    "Looks like you were cunning enough. My dad became your bargaining chip for survival?" I

    couldn''t help but shout angrily, "But you caused the deaths of so many innocent people!"


    rk looked at me with his rat-like eyes and helplessly said, "I had no choice."


    I wanted to tear him apart as I looked at his defiant face.


    I couldn''t dispel the hatred in my heart no matter how I dealt with this man or Celine, who was still atrge.From N?velDrama.Org.
