Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 868 - 720: The Grand Finale (Part 4)

The Queen Haotian sniffed, "I knew everything that happened afterwards. We attended the same middle school, and then went to the same university. Once, Xiang Zuo asked him about his parents, and he got upset. After that, none of us dared to bring it up again."

The Emperor Haotian gave her a displeased look.

Yi Luowa quickly tugged on her father’s sleeve.

The Emperor Haotian sighed deeply, "He’s been thinking about you for more than just a day or two. Haven’t you noticed at all?"

"Did you notice?" the Queen Haotian asked angrily.

The Emperor Haotian slapped his forehead with force, "That old boy, he’s too deceitful. Who could ever understand what goes on in his mind!"

Tong Airui smiled faintly, "Joel is indeed like that. He hides his true intentions so well that no one can truly figure out what he’s thinking. With his intelligence, seeking revenge for his mother and capturing the throne of R country would be effortless, yet he’s been staying here all along."

Yi Luowa slightly furrowed her brows, "He might be able to discern a bit of his intention, which is that he truly likes my mother. I heard what he said to her back then; his words weren’t lies."

"Cough cough..." Tong Airui lightly cleared his throat.

Yi Luowa raised her eyebrows slightly, "What are you afraid of? My dad is much more open-minded than you."

Tong Airui reached out and pinched her nose, "Don’t make a fuss! One more thing, I want to say, Joel did a lot of bad things, but he didn’t poison Danton, nor did he order it. He’s been controlling Du Ma all along and only later got in touch with Kai Di."

Yi Luowa was taken aback, "You know that too? And me, he ordered the switch, didn’t he?"

"Yes. Because Xia Rou loves him, he used that to have Xia Rou stir up trouble."

"Did his nursemaid’s daughter tell you these things?"

"Indeed she did, but she doesn’t know everything. After her mother passed away, she lost track of what Joel was up to."

The Queen Haotian looked over, "Where is that person?"

"I’ve arranged for her to stay in the courtyard in the back garden, where there are fewer people, so she won’t be discovered."

"Have her come over, there are some questions I want to clear up."

Tong Airui took out his phone and called Da Peng, who promptly brought the person over.

The woman was in her forties, slightly overweight, and seemed a bit timid seeing so many people in the hall.

The Queen Haotian came over, took her hand, and sat her on the sofa, "Don’t be afraid, none of us will harm you. I just want to ask you a few things."

The woman nodded nervously, "I know what you want to ask, but I don’t know much. Even if my mom were alive, she wouldn’t know much either. What I told Prime Minister Airui before were all things my mom overheard."

"He even kept things hidden from your mother?" The Queen Haotian asked, puzzled.

"Yes, my mom said his character resembles his father’s, suspicious, cunning, and very dark. I always suspected my mom’s death had something to do with him, but I had no evidence. His influence is so vast, I could only endure it until now. Prime Minister Airui found me, and I felt the time was right!" The woman looked at Tong Airui, "Prime Minister Airui, when you interrogate Joel, could you ask him for me? If he really did it, I’d consider it avenging my mother."

Tong Airui nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to find out for you."

The woman smiled gratefully, "Now I’ll tell you what I know. My mom said that Joel was fond of a girl from a very young age. They even argued over it with his mother. He once said he wanted to live a good life with that girl, but his mother was determined to have him kill Sato Hara and her son to take the throne of R country.

Joel was in great agony, and it was because of this that his personality changed drastically. Eventually, he listened to his mother, befriended Du Ma, and became his strategist. He wanted to use Du Ma’s influence to return to R country, but after spending time with Du Ma, he discovered that Du Ma was utterly useless, then planned to take his place. Just when he was about to succeed, Prime Minister Airui arrived with his men and thwarted his plans.

However, my mother said he was a very smart person. Long before Du Ma died, he had hidden much of Du Ma’s underground force, which he gradually expanded over the years. He’s even made connections with R country; Sato Hara’s two children obey his every word.

Oh, and that fake Princess Nancy was cultivated by him too. I heard from my mother that Nancy suffered a lot under him. He was abusive towards her, often saying he chose the wrong person and that if he had chosen the younger sister for the cosmetic surgery, maybe his grand plan would have succeeded... that’s all I know."
