Back in the villa, only Caroline was there cleaning the living room.
"Is Theo in the room?"
"Yes, Sir is in the room. Since you’re back, Madam, dinner..."
"No, I'll go up first."
I could not wait to go upstairs.
When I went to the room and opened the door, Theo was indeed in there. Seeing me so anxious, he knew the situation was serious.
He put down the tablet and looked at me, "You know everything now?"
I nodded. I made my way over slowly and sat by the bed. "But I don't know if it's true or not."
Immediately after that, I told Theo everything Cole told me. Theo was frowning as he listened as if he was also skeptical about this.
When I was done, I looked at him. "How much of it do you think is the truth and how much of it is fake?”
I only hear him sigh heavily. Theo’s expression was solemn. "If it's fake, the story is foolproof and that wouldn’t be good for him. If it's true, then all of this is incredible. So many people are involved. If you’re really part of the Yard family, then you’re in danger."
"You and Cole said the same, that I’m in danger,” my voice was weak as I lowered my gaze.
"The Yards used to be unshakable, and they got there by stepping on the shoulders of many. They have many enemies. So many people want Silas Yard's life, let alone his children’s. The so-called sins of the father are paid for by the children. He has no children, and right now, he only has his grandson. If you’re exposed, it’ll definitely cause many unwarranted disasters."
Hearing what Theo said, I fell into deep thought and murmured to myself, "So what Cole said may be true. Petra may have acknowledged me as her daughter, even making it public to protect me. That way, even if the Yards found me, they wouldn’t act rashly."
