During the interrogation, Aiden also revealed the leverage they had used to threaten Frank.
It turned out Isabella’s disappearance had nothing to do with me. It was all thanks to our father being too busy flirting with his mistress.
Frank and my mom’s love story was a typical tale of a rich young lady marrying a poor boy who’d made it big.
The initial capital for founding MJ Entertainment, including the house they lived in after marriage, was all given by my grandfather. My mom oversaw all the big and small affairs of the company. At home, Frank was basically a son–in–law with no power. But outside, he was the young and successful boss of an entertainment company.
That day at the amusement park, he wanted to meet his mistress and used me and Isabella as cover. Isabella went missing because he wasn’t watching her properly.
If my mom and grandfather found out the truth, he would have lost everything. So he could only pin it on me. After all, who would believe the words of a mischievous six–year–old?
My mom’s death was also closely tied to Frank. To shirk responsibility, Frank started blaming my mom for being too busy with work and neglecting the family.
It was because of his daily accusations, coupled with the unbearable pain of losing Isabella, that my mom decided to leave.
Frank was the root of all evil. Unfortunately, he had escaped. But the revenge that was owed wouldn’t be forgotten.
MJ Entertainment was also my mother’s hard work. After news broke that Frank was involved in a murder case, most of the artists chose to break their contracts and pay compensation, not wanting to get involved in the mess.
I found the artists who hadn’t terminated their contracts yet and met with them one by one, discussing future development plans to keep them
on board.
Days passed as I buried myself in work. A whole month went by without me seeing Lucas again.
At first I didn’t think much of it, but later I felt a bit empty inside, like something was missing.
Lying in bed late at night, tossing and turning, I thought back to that kiss with Lucas at the awards ceremony. His lips had been surprisingly
soft.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash from the living room. Before I could get up to check, my head was struck with a violent blow. As the world
spun around me, I lost consciousness.
