Chapter 577\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the thought, Trudy shivered. Fearing he wouldn\u2019t believe her, she continued, \u201cMr. Palmer, I\u2019m not lying. I really didn\u2019t know he was your brother. My mother didn\u2019t know either! If she had known that baby was a young master of the Palmer family, she wouldn\u2019t have dared to touch him, not for a hundred fortunes!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beside them, Larissa toyed with a silver needle. \u201cSo, what you\u2019re saying is, as long as it wasn\u2019t Haskell\u2019s brother, all those other children your mother abducted deserved their fate?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trudy stiffened. \u201cThat\u2019s not what I meant\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing Larissa\u2019s terrifying gaze, she quickly changed the subject. \u201cMr. Palmer, I\u2019ve been searching for the person who killed my mother and took your brother for years, but I never found them. That\u2019s why I started working for Lucius. He promised he would help me find my mother\u2019s killer!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
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\u2019s brother?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s face was a mask. \u201cTell me everything you know about my brother from twenty\u2013two years ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trudy didn\u2019t dare hide anything. \u201cTwenty\u2013two 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe 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\u2013month\u2013old 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut not long after, she called again, saying she might be in danger and that if anything happened to her, I shouldn\u2019t try to avenge her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSoon after, I got word that her body had been found on the side of a road in the countryside. It was mangled beyond recognition\u2013her 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\u2019t been\u00a0<\/p>\n
able to conceive since.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother was scum of the earth,\u201d Larissa said coldly. \u201cYour miscarriage and infertility are nothing more than karma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trudy was too terrified to speak. In the past, she would have argued that those children\u2019s lives were worthless, that it was just their bad luck to fall into her mother\u2019s hands. But now, she didn\u2019t dare. She wanted to live.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell watched her, his voice devoid of emotion. \u201cAnd then? Continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Terrified by his gaze, Trudy stammered, \u201cThe baby my mother took was gone too. Because my\u00a0<\/p>\n
mother was identified as a human trafficker, the police closed the case without further investigation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Palmer, that\u2019s everything I know,\u201d she pleaded, anxiously watching his face. \u201cI don\u2019t know who took your brother. I\u2019ve been looking for him for twenty\u2013two years and found nothing. Can you let me go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise I won\u2019t tell Lucius I saw you. I only worked for him to find my mother\u2019s killer, and now that I know it was all a misunderstanding, I have no reason to continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
