Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 577
Chapter 577
At the thought, Trudy shivered. Fearing he wouldn’t believe her, she continued, “Mr. Palmer, I’m not lying. I really didn’t know he was your brother. My mother didn’t know either! If she had known that baby was a young master of the Palmer family, she wouldn’t have dared to touch him, not for a hundred fortunes!”
Beside them, Larissa toyed with a silver needle. “So, what you’re saying is, as long as it wasn’t Haskell’s brother, all those other children your mother abducted deserved their fate?”
Trudy stiffened. “That’s not what I meant…”
Noticing Larissa’s terrifying gaze, she quickly changed the subject. “Mr. Palmer, I’ve been searching for the person who killed my mother and took your brother for years, but I never found them. That’s why I started working for Lucius. He promised he would help me find my mother’s killer!”
As she spoke, she remembered why Lucius had sent her ten million dollars the day before. Had Lucius discovered the secret? Did he know the child she was looking for was Haskell’s brother?
Haskell’s face was a mask. “Tell me everything you know about my brother from twenty–two years ago.”
Trudy didn’t dare hide anything. “Twenty–two years ago, I was newly pregnant. My mother, wanting to earn more money for me, went back to her old trade. She got a request from someone willing to pay two hundred thousand for a son.”
“She was about to go looking for a suitable baby when a man, all covered up in a hat, mask, and glasses, came to her with a one–month–old boy, wanting to sell his own son. My mother was suspicious, but it was business falling into her lap, so she bought the baby for ten thousand.”
“The next day, as she was on her way to deliver the baby to the buyer, she noticed a car following her. She tried to lose it, but the woman driving was unlucky and got into an accident. My mother managed to escape with the baby and called me to say she was safe.”
“But not long after, she called again, saying she might be in danger and that if anything happened to her, I shouldn’t try to avenge her.”
“Soon after, I got word that her body had been found on the side of a road in the countryside. It was mangled beyond recognition–her organs were pulp, and her head was severed from her body. The shock was so great that I fainted and had a miscarriage. It damaged my body, and I haven’t been
able to conceive since.”
“Your mother was scum of the earth,” Larissa said coldly. “Your miscarriage and infertility are nothing more than karma.”
Trudy was too terrified to speak. In the past, she would have argued that those children’s lives were worthless, that it was just their bad luck to fall into her mother’s hands. But now, she didn’t dare. She wanted to live.
Haskell watched her, his voice devoid of emotion. “And then? Continue.”
Terrified by his gaze, Trudy stammered, “The baby my mother took was gone too. Because my
mother was identified as a human trafficker, the police closed the case without further investigation.”

“Mr. Palmer, that’s everything I know,” she pleaded, anxiously watching his face. “I don’t know who took your brother. I’ve been looking for him for twenty–two years and found nothing. Can you let me go?”
“I promise I won’t tell Lucius I saw you. I only worked for him to find my mother’s killer, and now that I know it was all a misunderstanding, I have no reason to continue.”
