The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Nathaniel Sloan Knew All Along

Of course, Nathaniel Sloan’s surname was Sloan. What else could it be?

He had nothing to hide, so Nathaniel Sloan nodded again.

The color instantly drained from Scott York’s face, and his eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

Estelle Lockwood: "...?"

She instinctively glanced at Nathaniel Sloan, her eyes clearly asking, ’You didn’t bully him, did you?’

Nathaniel Sloan: "..."

Mr. Sloan felt terribly wronged. This was, in all honesty, the first time he had ever met Scott York.

The three children immediately rushed over to comfort him, and Scott York told his friends the truth.

"My nanny said... my daddy and mommy got into a car accident because they offended someone named Sloan."

’Offended someone named Sloan?’

Young Mr. York and his wife had died five years ago, passing away in a car accident not long after Scott York was born.

And the nanny said it was because they had offended someone named Sloan.

In Crestfall, the surname Sloan, combined with the word ’offended’... no matter how one thought about it, it had to be the Sloan family.

But when had Young Mr. York ever offended the Sloan family? And why would offending them lead to death?

Who in the Sloan family had he offended?

Suddenly, Nathaniel Sloan’s eyes narrowed as someone abruptly came to mind.

「The two-day autumn trip passed quickly, and on Sunday afternoon, they began the journey home.」

After dropping the three children off at home, Estelle Lockwood sensed that Nathaniel Sloan was deep in thought and asked, "What’s on your mind?"

"I’m thinking about the person Scott York mentioned."

Nathaniel Sloan traced a pattern on the tabletop with his finger. His eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed from behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

Estelle rested her chin on her hand. "Named Sloan... Was it your father, or Old Mr. Sloan?"

Nathaniel Sloan raised an eyebrow. "Who uses their real name when they’re up to no good? When Young Mr. York died, Stella York and the original Mrs. York refused to believe it was an accident. They hired countless lawyers and had the police investigate over and over, but they never found anything conclusive."

"The original Mrs. York later died, unable to move past her grief, but Stella York never stopped investigating. Still, she found nothing."

Estelle Lockwood understood. "Even Scott York knows his father offended someone named Sloan. If the nanny said it, Stella York must know as well. It’s just that—no one fits the description."

Nathaniel Sloan’s tone was full of meaning. "Correct. Publicly, no one in the Sloan family had any dealings with Young Mr. York."

Because of Laura Jennings and Ethan Sloan’s relationship, the Sloan family had always been close to Mrs. York and Thea York, so they naturally had no contact with the branch of the family from the first wife.

But Young Mr. York wasn’t completely powerless. How could it be that he would die just for offending someone? Therefore, the person he offended must have been powerful and influential... Named Sloan. Who could it be?

"Theodore Lancaster."

Nathaniel Sloan suddenly uttered a name.

Estelle Lockwood froze for two seconds, then her eyes shot wide open.

’That’s right. Who ever said Theodore Lancaster’s surname wasn’t Sloan?!’

The Sloan family claimed Theodore Lancaster was the son of Ethan Sloan and Miranda Lancaster, which meant he was a Sloan too!

But why would Young Mr. York die for offending Theodore Lancaster? Could it be that his status got in Theodore’s way? Yet Theodore was the Sloan family’s "legitimate son," his situation practically a mirror image of Young Mr. York’s.
