CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 593: LAST CHANCE

Leon’s mother stared at the paper talisman thrown on the coffee table, her eyelids twitching violently, feeling extremely nervous, praying that this thing wouldn’t fall into Leon Keane’s hands, but it did after all.

What kind of excuse should she find? To smooth this over?

Old Mr. Pierce slowly walked out, snorted, and said discontentedly, "Come in and act like a mute, don’t even know to call me grandpa."

Leon Keane treated Old Mr. Pierce like air.

Old Mr. Pierce, seeing this, was furious, wanting to lash out at Leon Keane, but seeing Lucas Pierce winking at him, telling him not to offend Leon Keane now was not the time, Old Mr. Pierce clenched his old hand, turned to Leon’s mother, and said, "Look at the good son you raised."

Leon’s mother was worried sick, how could she spare time to deal with Old Mr. Pierce?

Her eyes rolled around, pretending not to know it was a "spirit curse killing talisman," reached out from the coffee table to pick it up, looked at it, and confusedly asked Leon Keane, "What’s this?"

Leon looked at his mother, she probably didn’t know that every time she lied, her eyes would shift slightly, which was a sign of guilt, but in the past, Leon trusted his mother, deliberately ignoring her flaws.

"Found in your coat pocket, you should know better than anyone else."

"Found in my coat pocket?" Leon’s mother repeated Leon’s words, "How could it be? I don’t have such a thing, this should be a peace charm, right? I remember, just arrived on the isolated island in F Country, I was in a very bad mood, so many times didn’t want to live, maybe the island’s maid was afraid something would happen to me, so secretly stuffed the peace charm into my usual coat pocket."

"This isn’t a peace charm."

Leon knitted his brows and said coldly.

"Not a peace charm? Then what is it?" Leon’s mother pretended to carefully look at the talisman in her hand, "Eh, why does it have your birth date and time on it? Could it be that the maid requested it for you?"

Leon’s heart sank to the bottom, couldn’t listen anymore, shouted, "Stop pretending, you personally requested the spirit curse killing talisman, now in front of me, don’t you dare admit it?"

Leon’s mother’s hand trembled, panicking, said: "I didn’t request it, definitely someone is framing me. Leon Keane, I’m your mother! What reason would I have to curse you? Think carefully, don’t be deceived by insidious and despicable people."

Lucas Pierce stood by Leon’s mother, said: "Exactly, maybe this spirit curse killing talisman was secretly stuffed into aunt’s pocket by our malicious wife’s people on the island, trying to frame her!"

Leon shot a cold, severe look across, and Lucas Pierce’s heart trembled, somewhat afraid.

"Ivana doesn’t even know the exact location of the island in F Country, and all the people on the island are arranged by me, how could she harm you?" Leon let out a desolate laugh, "Yes, you are my mother. So, I want to know even more, what is your reason for harming me? Why exactly?"

Leon’s mother dared not meet Leon’s dark eyes, his gaze was too sharp, as if it could shatter all lies.

She pinched her thigh and burst into tears, "Oh heavens! Oh earth! What sins did I commit in a past life to have a son who doesn’t trust me? He would rather believe outsiders than his own mother..."

Old Mr. Pierce slammed the table, pointing at Leon Keane: "You are a rebel, back then your mom shouldn’t have taken you in..."

Halfway through speaking, Old Mr. Pierce suddenly stopped, realizing he had misspoken.

"Taken me in what?" Leon heard, immediately turned around and sharply asked Old Mr. Pierce.

"What take or not take? I meant she shouldn’t have given birth to you."

Back then he didn’t support Leon’s mother doing that, after all Leon wasn’t Leon’s mother’s biological child, although he was the head of the Kane family, there was no blood relationship with Leon’s mother, it was essentially Leon’s mother raising someone else’s child.

And now, raised a thankless wretch.

This ungrateful wolf, in turn, wants to take on Leon’s mother.

Old Mr. Pierce was infuriated, sighed repeatedly, wanted to scold Leon Keane harshly, but feared saying the wrong thing and accidentally revealing the events of the past.

Leon’s mother took a sharp intake of breath in fright, glanced reproachfully at Old Mr. Pierce, earlier too scared, afraid that Old Mr. Pierce would blurt out everything, that would really ruin everything.

"You clearly said ’taken’, didn’t you?" Leon wasn’t stupid; he heard Old Mr. Pierce’s words loud and clear.

A very bad, bold guess suddenly formed in his mind.

Could it be he wasn’t Leon’s mother’s...?

Lucas Pierce was silent, deep in thought, for a moment there, he seemed to have suddenly figured it out, his face showed an expression of understanding, no wonder grandpa often mumbled those sentences in his sleep, he initially thought grandpa just disliked Leon, didn’t expect...

Haha, so that’s how it is.

"I didn’t say." Old Mr. Pierce shamelessly denied.

Leon Keane chuckled coldly, said: "If you’re willing to tell the truth, I’ll give you ten million, if not, in the future, I’ll leave my mother to you, she’s given you a lot of money, Lucas Pierce should have no problem providing for her, right?"

Ten million?

Old Mr. Pierce and Lucas Pierce weren’t interested, Leon Keane was too stingy, wanting to buy their giant secret with just ten million?

Lucas Pierce, hearing Leon’s last words, jumped up: "Why? Leon Keane, you’re her son, I’m not her son? Why should I care for her? I won’t, if you give me a hundred million, then you can take aunt, that’s what aunt owes me, has to be a hundred million, I’ll tell you, not a penny less."

Lucas Pierce decisively made his decision, Leon Keane said that, definitely not going to unfreeze aunt’s money, then aunt has no more value to him, might as well gain a hundred million now.

Leon Keane looked at Lucas Pierce amusedly: "A hundred million? Not a penny. You’ve taken so much from the Kane family, providing for her is only right, if you don’t, I don’t mind reclaiming all the benefits you’ve received from the Kane family."

Lucas Pierce’s complexion changed: "You... don’t think of tricking me, what aunt gave me is mine, there’s no reason to take it back."

"Is that so? What she gave you was Kane family property, I’m entitled to reclaim it, if you don’t believe, go ahead and try."

Leon Keane finished, gave Lucas Pierce a decisive cold smile, and turned to leave.

"Wait, don’t go."

Lucas Pierce panicked, afraid Leon Keane would really do that.

Leon Keane halted, didn’t turn back, "I’ll give you one last chance, will you say or not?"

Old Mr. Pierce shook his head at the nervous Leon’s mother, his eyes telling her Lucas Pierce didn’t know.

Leon’s mother finally sighed in relief, not knowing was good, not knowing was good.

The next words from Lucas Pierce, however, left both Old Mr. Pierce and Leon’s mother completely stunned.
