Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Truth (8)

Archie Lockwood raced his car frantically toward the Lockwood estate the moment he got the call.

By the time he arrived, Master Lockwood was lying on the floor, surrounded by a large pool of blood on the carpet. His body was already ice-cold.

He knelt beside Master Lockwood, his mouth wide open as he cried out in agony, "Dad! Dad! I never even got to call you ’Dad’ to your face! How could you just leave? Dad, Dad, I haven’t forgiven you yet! How could you leave me like this? You said you were going to make it up to me! How could you just be gone..."

"Dad, wake up! Please, wake up! I’m waiting for you to make it up to me..."

"AHHH! Dad! Yuna Sullivan! Jason Lockwood! I, Archie Lockwood, will never spare you as long as I live!!"

"Even if I have to die, I’ll send you to hell first!!!!"

...

Mika Summers and Tristan Grayson arrived at the Lockwood estate nearly half an hour after Archie.

She couldn’t help but cry at the sight of him kneeling there, clutching Master Lockwood’s body and sobbing uncontrollably. She walked over to Archie and knelt beside him. "Brother, Master Lockwood is gone. Please... don’t be so sad..."

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Archie, but he slapped her hand away, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Get away from me!"

Mika flinched at his reaction. She bit her lip, her heart a mix of fear and hurt.

Seeing his wife treated like that, Tristan Grayson was furious. But he knew Archie had just lost his father, so it was understandable that he wasn’t himself. Suppressing his anger, he walked over and pulled Mika to her feet, comforting her, "Your brother isn’t in his right mind right now. Don’t take it to heart."

"Mm." Mika snapped back to reality and nodded, but she couldn’t stop her brows from knitting together in a tight frown.

’Her brother had never, ever treated her like that, no matter what. That outburst... it had truly frightened her.’

When Una Sullivan and Joseph Summers heard that their son’s biological father had died after falling down the stairs, how could they possibly remain at home? After Tristan and Mika left, the two of them hailed a taxi and hurried over.

When she saw Archie kneeling on the floor, clutching the body as if terrified someone would snatch it away, Una Sullivan burst into tears. ’He had only just found his father, only for something like this to happen.’

Mika was the first to see her parents arrive. She pushed Tristan aside and called out in a choked voice, "Mom, Dad, why are you here?"

"We heard your brother’s father passed away. How could your father and I possibly just stay at home?" Una Sullivan explained, wiping away her tears.

Archie, who had been silently clutching the body on the floor, suddenly lifted his head. He laid the man in his arms down on the floor and rose to his feet.

Seeing Archie, Joseph Summers quickly tried to console him, "Archie, the dead can’t be brought back. You have to accept it. Your father wouldn’t want to see you this miserable, would he?"

"That’s right, Archie. Even though your father has passed, you still have me and your dad. We are still a family."

Hearing their words, Archie lowered his head with a bitter laugh. He turned, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over everyone in the room. "One family?"

Everyone in the room was clearly stunned by his question.

"Una Sullivan, you and Yuna Sullivan are sisters, right? The destruction of the Lockwood Family is all thanks to her. So now I have to wonder... why did you people adopt me? Were you hiding some grand conspiracy?!"
