Chapter 425 His True Identity
Just because her father's company was involved in a corruption case, they were afraid that they would be implicated.
Heh! This was how an aristocratic family was really like! And how a rich and affluent family truly was!
They appeared to live a glorious life. However, deep down inside, they were filthier and more selfish than anyone else.
Dylan closed her eyes as she raised her head. The night breeze blew over her cheeks. She seemed to still be able to feel the intense pain swelling up in her chest that night.
It was a heart-wrenching kind of pain, as if it was deep-rooted in her bones, and could not be erased forever.
Just then, there was an urgent sound of footsteps behind her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and calm again.
The man's angry voice sounded, "Dylan!"
Dylan raised the corner of her mouth and turned around. As expected, she saw Luke's angry face.
Before she could make any response, he had already charged forward to her.
The next second, the man instantly moved to the front of her, grabbed her collar, and pressed her against the concrete railing with a "bang".
She frowned and groaned in pain. Her whole upper body almost fell outside the railing.
Her black hair was blown by the wind into the night sky, as her waist hit hard against the railing, as if it was going to split her into half.
However, Dylan just raised her lips and smiled, and said alluringly, "What's wrong? You're not pretending that you are crippled? Why are you not sitting in your wheelchair? If anyone else sees how agile your movements are, I'm afraid that their jaws will drop!"
Luke was furious when he saw her smiling so calm and peaceful.
He grabbed her collar and gritted his teeth. "What kind of sh*t have you done?"
Dylan's eyes went wide. With a look of innocence on her face, she asked, "What have I done?"
"Stop playing dumb with me! Tell me! Why do you want to kill Anderson?"
His words made the smile on Dylan's face gradually subsided.
Then, he turned his face slightly and said indifferently, "I am willing to do so. What's the matter? Am I ruining the relationship between the Ethanbez family and the Jordan family?"
After that, an idea came up in her mind. She turned her head and smiled at him charmingly. "Luke, we haven't seen each other for a year. Shouldn't we be more polite to each other? After all, we used to sleep in the same bed..."
Before Dylan could finish her sentence, she shuddered as Luke threw a punch into the railing beside her.
Luke's hands suddenly became bloody. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Dylan! Do you know that Clarissa is pregnant? You can hate my family all you want but you can't do this to your good friend who has always trusted you."
Dylan's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, she smiled coldly.
"Luke, how old are you?"
Luke was slightly stunned, and then he saw her saying coldly, "You are already twenty years old. It has been eight years since you joined the Lost Vanguard. Don't tell me you still can't face reality until today. Do you think we are really good friends?
To tell you the truth, back then, the only reason I befriended her was because of her relationship with Anderson. I wanted to use her to get close to Anderson and kill him, but first of all, I wasn't strong enough, and secondly, who would have thought that she would suddenly lose her memory and lose contact with Anderson?
Fortunately, after so many years, she found him again. That's why I used her to kill Anderson. Don't you think it's God's will?"
Luke's lips trembled slightly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you mean that you have been planning this all these years? Just for revenge?"
Dylan pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Not all of them. On the one hand, it's indeed for revenge. On the other hand, someone has paid me a considerable sum to take Anderson's life. I'm just taking the money and to help others to be relieved from their problems."
After that, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, you still don't know Anderson's other identity, do you? Then I'll tell you. In fact, he's the leader of the Lost Vanguard. His code name is 'X'. What do you think? Does it sound familiar to you?"
X?
Luke shuddered and stared at her in disbelief.
He was more than familiar with this code name!
They were beyond familiar with each other!
About seven years ago, this person whose code name was X had done so many unbelievable things that he couldn't count them with his own hands!
And right now, she was telling him that the person was him...
Luke looked at the woman in front of him. Her smile was so alluring and gorgeous. But now in his eyes, she was venomous, just like a scorpion.
At this moment, Dylan's eyes suddenly became stern. Seeing that Luke was distracted, she turned over her wrist, pushed his hand away, and slipped out of his grip.
Her moves were really smooth as if she had practiced them thousands of times. In an instant, Dylan had retreated a few steps away.
Luke felt that his hand was empty and looked up at her. He saw a little smile on the woman's face, but it did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were ice-cold.
He moved his lips and finally said in a hoarse voice, "So, I have been secretly helping you all these years. But I'm just a fool in your eyes, am I right? A suck*r?"
Dylan sneered. "Isn't it? If it weren't for your family and the Jordan Family colluded with each other that year, my father wouldn't have died! He was a scapegoat of the two families. What about you?
You imprisoned me for the sake of your own reputation and interests and stopped me from telling the truth."
I've spent a lot of effort to escape. Do you think that I'll be so touched by your little gesture and make me forget all this hatred?"
Luke looked at her contorted face and moved his lips. Suddenly, he felt weak all over.
"Ha!" "
He gave a self-deprecating chuckle and looked at her with an ironic look.
"Do you really think that it was your father who took the blame for the two families back then, rather than he committed a grave mistake because of his own evil intentions?"
Dylan shuddered.
Her expression changed slightly and she said anxiously, "That's impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? In the past, he had committed corruption and bribery in the name of the Jordan family. Didn't he commit enough mistakes? They were such grievous crimes, don't you think he would have been imprisoned for life even if he could escape the death penalty?"
"He didn't have the guts to face those consequences so he jumped off a building instead. Why is it the Jordan Family's fault now? In order to make up for his mistakes, do you know how much loss Anderson suffered!"
Dylan's expression changed drastically as she shook her head.
"I don't believe you!"
Luke sneered.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. This is the truth. If you insist on thinking it that way, there's nothing I can do. It's a pity that in the past seven years, I've always seen you as an innocent little girl. I was blind. Fortunately, Anderson is alright now. If anything happened to him, I'll definitely take your life!"
After that, he ignored her and turned around before striding away.
Dylan stood on the rooftop. Her long hair was blowing in the wind. with her face full of tears.
Watching the slender figure disappear at the end of the corridor, she finally couldn't help but squat down while she cried her heart out.
"I'm sorry, Luke..."
