Chapter 321

Karl returned to the room and sorted out what Lina had said in his head.

There is no loophole, it makes sense, but he always feel that something is wrong.

Karl felt that he still needed to meet Preston.

Preston and Lina were a young couples, but their relationship has gradually deteriorated over the years.

In the memory, Preston is a gentle and meticulous person with an artist’s unique romance. He became famous in his early years, but because he wanted to accompany Lina, he didn’t think much of his career.

On the contrary, in recent years, he has been busy with painting exhibitions and participating in various activities, and have not even returned to Adams house for the Spring Festival.

Karl made up his mind and went downstairs to find a servant and asked Preston’s phone number.

When he used to live in Lina’s house, his relationship with Preston was pretty good, but then he returned to Rostenvel and the two contacted each other gradually, and there is no contact now.

He dialed Preston’s number.

The phone rang several times before connecting.

“Hello?” Preston’s voice was very gentle, and Gerald followed him on this point.

Karl said quietly: “Uncle, it’s me.”

Preston’s tone was a little surprised: “Karl?”

“It’s me, where are you now, can we sit down and chat together if you have time?” Karl’s memory of Preston still stayed many years ago, but he knew that Preston would not refuse his request.

Preston was silent for a moment before saying: “Of course we can, but I will not return to Rostenvel.”

“I’m in country M, your home.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Karl did not urge Preston, but waited quietly for his reply.

“Well, my painting exhibition here ends this afternoon, and I will go home tonight, but don’t let your aunt know about this.”

“I know.”

Preston will be back at night, just right.

After hanging up the phone, Karl stared lightly, recalling the sentence Preston said in his mind, “Don’t let your aunt know.”

After careful analysis of this sentence, the content is really much.

Without letting Lina know, Preston was willing to chat with Karl. ‘

And Karl didn’t talk about anything from beginning to end.

Obviously, Preston knew what Karl wanted to talk to him.

This is a tacit understanding between smart people.

…

In the evening, Karl and Preston made a phone call and met in a cafe in the city.

When Karl arrived, it was exactly six o’clock.

He ordered a cup of coffee, chose a location by the window that just happened to see the parking lot at the entrance, and waited for Preston to come.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, he suddenly heard several screams.

Accompanied by a burst of noisy footsteps and exclamations.

“Gosh, there was a car accident!”

“How is the person?”

“Call an ambulance.”

Karl frowned slightly, not caring much at first.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he abruptly stood up and walked outside.

He pushed aside the crowd and walked to the person who was hit by the car.

The man who was hit by the car was a middle-aged man, his white shirt was stained red with blood, only the neckline was faintly white, and his entire face had been hit so that he couldn’t see his original face.

Karl squatted down, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and could vaguely see his original face.

This man is Preston!

Karl’s movements stopped there, and he called out, “Uncle? Preston?”

The man lying on the ground moved his finger, and then there was no sound.

Someone beside him took out Preston’s wallet, and said to the certificate on it: “This man is called Preston Caine.”

“Gosh, that painter?”

“My daughter has always wanted to go to an exhibition of his paintings!”

At this time, the police had already arrived.

“Keep all away, get away a little bit.”

The police drove the other onlookers away, and then walked over and called Karl: “Mister, please get up and don’t hinder us from doing things here.”

Karl stood up with a cold face, and stepped aside blankly.

He watched the police stretch out his hand to sniff Preston, and then said to the policeman on the side: “No more breathing.”

…

Karl went to the police station with him, and the police notified Lina.

When Lina came, the whole person was desperate: “Where is Preston? Where is Preston?”

The police stepped forward and stopped Lina: “Mrs. Cain, please, we’re sorry.”

Lina saw Karl and walked directly towards him: “Karl, what happened to your uncle? How could this be?”

Karl raised his head, looked at the tearful woman with red and swollen eyes in front of him, and said, “I will accompany you to see him.”

When Lina saw Preston’s body, he passed out.

Karl stood alone in front of Preston’s body, feeling heavy.

Even if Preston is not Gerald’s biological father, he is also Luther’s biological father.

Luther and Preston have a very good relationship.

The matter of Preston is still under investigation. Whether the accident was man-made or an accident has yet to be determined.

Karl was cooperating with the police throughout the whole process to deal with these matters.

By the time it was finished, it was already midnight.

It is daytime in the country.

Karl sat beside the flowerbed outside the police station and called Alyssa.

After the phone rang twice, Alyssa picked it up.

Alyssa’s soft voice came from the phone: “Karl?”

“I asked her about Gerald.”

“What did she say?”

Karl relayed Lina’s words to Alyssa.

Alyssa was silent for a while, and still asked him, “Do you think this is the case?”

It can be seen that Alyssa did not believe this statement very much either.

But now is not the time to investigate the truth of this matter.

Karl said in a low voice, “Uncle passed away in a car accident.”

Alyssa thought for a while before realizing that Karl’s uncle was Luther’s father.

Alyssa asked, “Have you notified Luther?”

“Someone has already notified.” Karl’s voice was full of fatigue.

“It’s midnight in country M. You have to pay attention to your body and sometimes take a break.” Away from this far, you can only tell him.

As soon as Alyssa hung up, the Smith’s call came over.

What Smith told her was also the news of Preston’s death in a car accident.

Smith heard it from Trevor’s men.

Alyssa didn’t know that Preston was in a car accident when he went to meet Karl, so at this moment she only thought it was a simple car accident.

At the end, Alyssa said, “Smith, you should go to country M with them. Karl’s father should also go to country M with Luther. It’s no problem for me to stay in Rostenvel. It is not convenient for Karl to be abroad alone.”

Smith actually wanted to go to Country M with Karl. Now that Alyssa said that, he had no worries. He flew with Trevor and the others that day.

Chapter 322

Because Preston is a famous painter, his car accident has a certain social influence, so the police quickly issued a traffic accident certificate.

A car accident is ultimately defined as an accident.

After the traffic accident certificate was issued, he began to deal with the funeral of Preston.

After Trevor and his party came to Country M, Karl no longer needed to deal with Preston’s affairs.

He finally got free.

Before the funeral started, Smith came back from outside and went straight to Karl’s room.

Karl was dressed in solemn black clothes and black pants, sitting on the sofa with a pensive look.

Smith walked over and cried respectfully: “Sir.”

Karl did not raise his eyes to look at him, but asked aloud, “How is the investigation going?”

Smith said: “What I found is the same as the result given by the police. It really seems to be a traffic accident.”

Even Grace could be taken away without knowing it. Karl naturally had reason to suspect that Preston’s car accident was not an accident.

Knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Then came the voice of the servant: “Mr. Adams, now we are going to the funeral home.”

Karl stood up from the sofa when he heard the words, adjusted his black shirt, and said to Smith, “Let’s go.”

…

When they arrived at the funeral home, all the members of the Cain family had arrived.

Gerald accompanied Lina to receive people who came to express their condolences.

In just one week, Lina lost a lot of weight. Even the heavy makeup could not conceal the old state displayed by age, and the whole person looked very haggard and thin.

Karl nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Sad.”

Lina didn’t speak, but just nodded, so she looked a little more gloomy.

Karl frowned, glanced at her, and went in.

Walking inside, he saw Luther kneeling on the ground.

Although Luther has been stocked all these years, blood is thicker than water. He is 15 years old this year and knows what death means.

He lost his father forever.

Karl walked to him and knelt down and handed him a tissue.

Luther looked up, his eyes were red and swollen, his nose was also red, and his voice hoarsely called: “Cousin.”

With just such a cry, Luther’s tears came out.

Even if he pressed his lips stubbornly, he could hear the depressive choke in his throat.

“Yeah.” Karl replied and stuffed the tissue into his hand.

There are many things in life that you can’t grasp, and there is no alternative.

The comfort of language, most of the time, is an extremely pale thing.

Luther held the tissue that Karl handed him tightly in his hand, burying his head low to prevent Karl from seeing his face, but Karl still saw it as if the thread was broken. The tears hitting the ground.

Karl just patted him on the back and stood up.

…

After Preston’s funeral, Karl and his party will also return to Rostenvel.

At noon the day before leaving, everyone sat in the hall to have lunch.

Gerald suddenly said, “Mom, come back to Rostenvel with us.”

When the others heard him, they turned to look at Lina.

Only Karl, as if he hadn’t heard of it, lowered his head to eat his own meal, as if he didn’t care what happened at this table.

Lina paused, but did not immediately give an answer.

Trevor also said immediately: “Yes, Preston is not here anymore. Gerald and Luther are both there. If you stay here alone and helpless, why not come back to Rostenvel with us?”

Everyone was waiting for Lina’s answer.

Lina put down the fork in her hand and said softly, “No, I’m used to living here, so let’s continue to stay here.”

As soon as her voice fell, Luther put the cup in her hand heavily on the dining table and made a “bang” sound.

Now, even Karl couldn’t help but let us look sideways to see Luther.

Luther’s complexion is also very bad recently, and a pretty little face is also very haggard.

He looked at Lina with a cold gaze: “As you are, you don’t care about us anyway.”

Trevor was the first to react, and murmured, “Luther!”

Without even looking at Trevor, Luther got up and strode out of the restaurant.

“Mom, don’t go to your heart, Luther is still young, I’ll go and see him first.” Gerald said comfortingly in Lina’s ear, and then immediately got up to chase Luther.

Lina stayed for a few seconds, then stood up: “I’m full, you eat slowly.”

Like a farce, the mother and son left the table one after another, leaving Trevor and Karl sitting face to face at the dining table.

What happened just now did not affect Karl, he still ate slowly.

Seeing this, Trevor frowned and looked at him dissatisfied: “Karl, you and Luther have a good relationship, turn around and persuade him.”

Karl neither agreed nor refused, but said, “Gerald is his own brother.”

The words “Brother” was emphasized by Karl.

Upon hearing this, Trevor’s expression changed slightly.

He stared at Karl for a few seconds before saying, “You all know?”

Karl did not speak.

With a “pop”, Trevor slapped his hand on the dining table and said angrily: “Karl, I’m asking you something.”

Karl lowered his eyes and said with a sneer: “Do I know it’s important? My mother has been concealed by you for a lifetime. Even grandpa only learned about this later, right? You are really amazing.”

Trevor said with a green expression, “That was an accident.”

“The kidnapping case back then was an accident. Grandpa’s business was an accident. Gerald as illegitimate son was an accident. The uncle’s car accident was also an accident…” Karl paused and said with a mocking tone: “You have been being caught for half your life Surprised by an accident, I really fail to live.”

Trevor was almost so angry that he lost his reason, pointed at him and shouted: “Karl, do you think I dare not pull you from the position of CEO of Adams?”

Compared to Trevor’s anger, Karl appeared unusually calm.

He didn’t rush and said: “Then you might as well try. It’s you who pulled me from the position of president faster, or I let Adams bankruptcy go faster.”

Trevor was willing to hand over it to Karl so early, mainly because Karl did have inhuman talents in business.

Adams was already in his own hands with many problems, and only by handing it over to Karl could he take it to the next level.

But he never thought that Karl would have such an idea.

He looked at Karl incredulously: “What good is it for you to bankrupt the Adams’ family! Don’t forget that you are also named Adams! You, us, and the Adams’ family are one body!”
