Chapter 917 Ryan's Background

Ellen knew who he was from an early age and had seen his father once, but he didn't want to go back to the Smith family to fight over the inheritance right somehow. He married someone and set up his own family. He could have lived a stable life peacefully. However, all the other children of the Smith family had died except Riggio and Terry who were fighting over the inheritance right so fiercely. Marlena was apparently useless at that time. What's more, the reigning master of the Smith family at that time didn't wanna hand over the power, so he intended to bring Allen back to the Smith family and used him as a counterbalance to the competition between Reggio and Terry.

Allen and his wife were forcibly brought back to the Smiths, and Allen had to do those shadowy dealings for the Smiths. Allen was born kind and wasn't willing to do those dirty dealings. Instead, he secretly sabotaged the dirty business of the Smiths, causing a great loss to the whole family. Mrs. Robert didn't know what happened to Allen and his wife later. She only knew they died in the place of the Smiths. But it was not that hard to imagine why Allen was killed as he violated the interest of the Smith family.

"I heard Allen's wife was pregnant, but I'm not sure whether she finally gave birth to the baby. Well, Alien's wife comes from Chillen. Look at Ryan..." Mrs. Robert paused and didn't finish her sentence, but all the others knew who Ryan really was. He was Alien's son. Lucia felt even sorry for Ryan, so she gently touched Ryan's head. Ryan knew he had been with his parents before, but he could hardly remember what happened when he was with his parents. It was the first time that he had clearly known the story of his parents as well as his own background. Ryan’s eyes were red, and he threw himself into the arms of Lucia.

Lucia didn't know what to say but to heave a sigh in the end. Meanwhile, August knitted his eyebrows after hearing Mrs. Robert's words. "Why would they let Ryan stay in the place of the Smiths if so? Based on the patterns of the Smiths..." The last thing Terry and Reggio wanted to see was that someone would come to fight over the inheritance right with them. Terry and Reggio would kill him as soon as they could out of their extreme greed when they got to know Ryan was also an inheritor of the Smiths, but they didn't do it.

Casting a glimpse at Ryan, August thought there must be some other secrets about Ryan. Ryan finally looked up from the arms of Lucia. His eyes were still red, but he looked much better. He picked up the box and placed it in Lucia's hand. "It's..." Ryan was taking the box with him when he left the Smith Manor.

Lucia thought it was his toy box, so she didn't ask anything about it. But now Ryan sent it to her. Pointing at the box, Ryan said in his not-so-clear accent, "Daddy...protect..." Ryan couldn't express himself well.

Shaking the box gently, Lucia heard the sound in the box and then turned to look at Ryan, "Could I open it?" Ryan nodded. Though the box was carefully designed with a combination lock on it, August still opened it easily after a glance. Anyway, it was made a long time ago. There was a USB flash disk in the box. August inserted it to the computer which Mrs. Robert asked someone to send here. It was a pity that the disk could no longer be read by the computer as its interface had rusted due to years of improper storage. "It’s a hassle." August said in a deep voice, "But I know someone can figure it out."
