Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Nevertheless, the two SteelFort members had no choice but to pass the message in the end.

What left them utterly stunned was how they received news from Oceanic Estate within twenty minutes.

“Mr. Hayes says that place should be Eddie's other military supply storehouse.”

“The other?” A frown formed between Kurt's brows.

I remembered Karl mentioning the military supply storehouse. According to him, it should've been blown up in the

underground tunnel during the battle back then. Why will there still be one here?

“Does that mean that he is a remnant of Eddie's followers? And he's going to make a comeback? Then why is he

after Susan and Timothy? Aren't they the grandchildren of Eddie?”

“Erm... that's not it. Don't get too agitated, Kurt. Mr. Hayes says this person probably only wants to seek revenge for

his family.” The SteelFort member sounded a little awkward. He took out the phone and clicked open to show Kurt

the information Sebastian sent.

Revenge?

Kurt was left completely puzzled until he took the phone over and saw the photo that revealed the true identity of

that person before his eyes.

“Maurice White? His last name is White?”

“Yes. He's the grandson of Alfred's brother. Back then, after Alfred suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Mr.

Hayes, Eddie saw that there was no use for this pawn anymore. Afraid that Alfred would divulge his secrets, he got

Elizabeth to poison them to death.”

“Poison them to death?” Kurt raised an eyebrow.

“That's right. This child coincidentally was placed under his grandma's care, and that was how he was lucky to

escape death.”

Kurt's face turned grim.

Without a doubt, he knew who Elizabeth was. He was, after all, the one who killed her.

Even if she has something to do with Eddie, she's still Alfred's wife. They even gave birth to Baylor. How could she

be that ruthless?

Kurt shifted his gaze to Maurice again, who was barely alive after being badly whacked up by him earlier.

“So, your real motive is to avenge your family members?”

“I-Isn't that the same? Aren't those names on the list all die at Eddie's hands? I merely gathered them together. I-Is

there anything wrong with me killing Eddie's descendants and taking his things?” Trembling involuntarily on the

floor, he exerted all his energy to query his doubts.

Kurt went silent.

He could not find words to answer those questions. After all, Eddie was also his enemy whom he held a grudge with.

Back then, had he not colluded with Daphne in an attempt to usurp Elysium to make it his base, Daphne would not

have bewitched his father to kill his heir, one after another.

It was first Calvin and Channing, then him.

That was why he could totally relate to that person when he mentioned boring a grudge.

But grudges aside, choosing to kill some other innocent people just because you wanted to seek revenge, what

difference will that make of you from Eddie or Elizabeth?

Kurt returned the phone to the members beside him.

“Do you have any idea who killed Elizabeth?”

“Who?”

“Me!”

A silent pause ensued.

“Then, do you know what she did before I killed her back then?” Kurt kept his stoic expression as he continued to

ask.

No words could come out of that person's mouth. The words he heard seconds ago left him completely paralyzed,

his brain unable to process anything.

He had been looking for Elizabeth all this while. It was a pity he could not find a trace of her throughout the years,

and it was only until last year that he received news about her death.

He learned that she was killed by a mad youth.

Back then, that youth had charged toward Yartran and single-handedly wiped out all the nests Elizabeth occupied

within a day. Eventually, he also annihilated that cunning woman personally.

Even at that point, he remembered every single detail of the incident.

Because of that incident, he had been hoping to meet that youth to show his appreciation for helping the White

family seek their revenge.

“The last thing she did was kill her biological son just so that she could run away. And her son was none other than

Susan's father, Colton. Think about it—if she could bring herself to kill her son, she wouldn't bat an eye on killing

you?”

There was no response.

“In other words, Colton was actually a victim too. Why would you see him or his children as your target for

revenge? He had never mentioned anything about his true identity to his daughter. And because he tried to save

Vivi from the snake venom, his mom killed him. Not everyone wants to be the devil in the darkness in this world,

and he was one of them. He only wanted to live a normal life. Why did you not let them off?” It was rare of Kurt to

advise anyone with such patience.

Perhaps, he did that because mentioning someone else's family tragedy reminded him of himself.

Laying on the floor, Maurice finally stopped saying anything.

He stared blankly at the ceiling. His face, probably because of too much blood lost, had turned as white as the

dead, and as time elapsed, he slowly shut his eyes tight.

“Take him away.” Kurt waved his hand as he figured the matter had been settled.

Shortly after, when he strode out from the deserted house, Matteo, who had brought people along with him, ran

toward him.
