Chapter 1466: A Man-Made Car Accident...

"Your grandfather was furious back then and considered me a disgrace to the Seal Family. Coupled with Edrian’s refusal to forgive, he drove us out of City T."

"I know better than anyone if I slept with Olivia, but Olivia didn’t know. When she woke up with her clothes stripped, she broke down crying, demanding your grandfather deliver justice... thus all of the Seal Family’s assets went to Edrian, and I became the disgrace of the Seal Family..."

"I couldn’t stand it, couldn’t stand Edrian’s shamelessness and the way he framed his own brother, so at the time I thought—Edrian seized everything from me by deceitful means, why should I let him profit!"

"And at that time, Celine and Olivia were both pregnant, so the old man graciously allowed our couple to have the child before leaving, fearing the child might be lost on the journey. That’s when a foolish idea formed in my mind..."

"Even if I’m a disgrace to the Seal Family, Celine did nothing wrong, and the child in her womb was more innocent. The old man let us birth the child and head abroad, never to return to the Seal Family. During Celine’s pregnancy, I was constantly scheming that terrible idea, preparing for what was to come..."

"You were born in the morning, at sunrise. Celine and I were so happy, holding you, spending three days in the hospital. When I heard Olivia was also in the same hospital to give birth, the idea went wild in my mind..."

"Both Celine and Olivia were daughters-in-law of the Seal Family, and both had the same doctor for their check-ups. A few months in, we knew Celine and Olivia were both carrying boys. So, I held you, who was three days old, and waited outside Olivia’s delivery room. During a busy moment for the doctors, I swapped Olivia’s child..."

"Edrian used every trick to seize everything from me, so I switched his child in return. First, to vent my anger, and second, to make sure my son rightfully received half of what was taken from us!"

"Olivia had already had Langdon Seal, and by giving you to Olivia, the two sons would mean one day these family assets would be divided into two parts! I wanted my son to effortlessly take back our share of the property!"

"After swapping the child, when I brought him back to Celine’s room, Celine immediately recognized the child wasn’t you. She questioned me... I confessed everything to her. Celine refused, but I begged her... I was wronged by Edrian and became the disgrace of the Seal Family, and I couldn’t swallow that bitterness."

"Celine had no choice, tears in her eyes, she agreed to my plan... and that’s how I placed you at Olivia’s side, as her son... Jose, if you must blame someone, blame me alone. Your mother, Celine Sutton, only agreed because I begged her, she nodded her head with a painful heart..." Stuart Floyd looked at his son, ice-cold and indifferent, and felt an ache in his heart.

No parent can face their child’s coldness with nonchalance.

"And what about Olivia’s child?" Joshua Floyd asked in a deep voice, "The child you swapped!"

Celine Sutton’s eyes were deep with red, looking at Jose Floyd full of guilt, "That child died—not because of us... it was because Edrian feared that even though the old man hated Mr. Xavier Turner, he might leave some of the inheritance to his innocent grandson, our child. So, when it came time for us to leave the country... en route to the airport, our whole family was in a man-made car accident..."

Joshua Floyd’s brow twitched, "Edrian wanted to kill you but ended up killing his own child, the one you intended to take abroad?"

Stuart Floyd nodded, "At that time, it was Celine holding the child. Although the child was Olivia’s, we both hated Edrian and Olivia... but the child was innocent, and with Celine’s natural motherly instincts, she cherished the swapped child dearly, wanting to shower him with the love intended for Jose..."
