Illegitimate son?
By the way, who exactly was Benny? Liam had never heard of him before.
The more he thought about it, the colder his heart grew.
“Suzie, can you do me a favor?” Liam said in a low voice, “You’re so clever, so when you go to the Campos family later, help me find out who Benny is through Jill. I’ll treat you to chocolates tonight.”
“Fine, I’ll do it for the sake of chocolates. ” Suzie nodded reluctantly.
“But don’t let the adults notice you, ” Liam reminded her.
“Okay, I know. It’s a small matter. With Jill’s low IQ she can’t even compare to me at all.” Suzie had a haughty expression.
When they arrived at the Campos family, Liam went to chat with his grandfather and grandmother while Suzie went to play with Jill.
Although Jill was the granddaughter of Old Master Campos’ younger sister, the two houses’ courtyards
were connected.
When Suzie went over to find Jill, Jill was irritated upon seeing her.
“Why did you come again? I said I don’t like you and I don’t want to play with you.”
Suzie quickly looked around. She saw there were no adults around, so she whispered, “But I’m so bored. Can you play with me for a little while? Sister Jill, are you the one who’s solving this jigsaw puzzle? You’re amazing!”
Jill was only four years old, after all. She was smug after getting complimented by Suzie. “Of course. ”
“Sister Jill, why are you here alone today? Where’s that… Benny?’ Suzie pretended to ask casually.
“Brother Benny has to study. He’s in primary school,” Jill said as she continued solving her puzzle seriously.
“Wow, he’s so great. I’m still in preschool. ” Suzie asked, “But why haven’t I met him before? Does he live nearby? Sister Jill, you’re so lucky that you have a brother to play with you. I don’t have one and I’m so bored being alone.”
“Brother Benny came over yesterday too. He was the one who taught me how to solve jigsaw
puzzles.” Jill was smug after she heard Suzie’s words. “Mm, that’s right. He just lives near here. ”
“Wow, is he the neighbor’s child?” Suzie acted delighted and asked.
“No, he’s Great-uncle’s child…”
Jill covered her mouth all of a sudden after she said that.
“What’s wrong?” Suzie pretended to be ignorant and looked at her while blinking her eyes.
“It’s all your fault.” Jill glared at Suzie angrily. “My mom said to me that this matter can’t be told to anyone.”
“Why can’t it be told to anyone? Is there a problem?” Suzie had a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know either.” Jill had a regretful expression on her face. “But my dad and mom told me that Brother Benny is a secret.”
“Oh, won’t it be fine as long as I don’t say anything about it?” Suzie pretended to be obedient and innocent. “Sister Jill, I’ll listen to you from now on a s long as you’re willing to play with me.”
“Okay, I don’t have any friends now, so I can play with you.” Jill nodded. She thought Suzie was silly and could be her lackey.
However, Jill did not know that once Suzie finished her dinner and walked out of the Campos family’s door, she immediately told Liam all the information she obtained from Jill.
“Great-uncle’s child…”
Liam’s expression changed once he heard that.
The great-uncle that Jill spoke of could only be Maurice or Mason. Maurice had two children, the elder one being Charlie and the younger one being Maddie. Maddie was studying overseas now.
Therefore, Benny was most probably his father’s or Maurice’s illegitimate son.
However, Maurice’s wife was a fierce woman. If her husband had an illegitimate son outside, she would definitely not tolerate Maurice bringing him back to the Campos family.
Benny was most likely Mason’s illegitimate son.
Liam’s heart felt cold. No wonder Mason did not care much about him. It was because he had another son outside.
Mason had even said he was his only son that day and he was almost won over by his words.
His father seemed to be even scarier when he thought about it.
Lea had sacrificed so much for Mason. She even took out tens of billions of dollars in funds for Campos Corporation three years ago, yet Mason had another woman and an illegitimate son outside.
Lea might go crazy from anger if she knew about it.
Luckily, Suzie’s words made Liam calm down. If he really leaked Lyons Corporation’s microchip, the Campos family might become the most powerful family in Australia. However, he would only be Mason’s stepping stone.
The thing was, how was he supposed to tell Lea about it?
“Suzie, don’t tell anybody about this for now,” Liam reminded her. He was afraid Lea could not take the shock.
At night, Liam gave Mason a call.
“Dad, I can’t do what you asked of me this evening. I think we have to use the proper means to win.
Actually, Campos Corporation is already developing well. Why do you have to be so fixated on the rankings?”
“Liam, you make me so disappointed.” Mason’s low tone had a trace of heartlessness.
“Dad, as people, we have to know the limits.” Despite feeling sad, Liam tried to dissuade him. “ You already have enough. Besides, if it weren’t for Lyons Corporation’s support, the Campos family wouldn’t have gotten this far— ”
“Shut your mouth! It’s impossible to be successful if you’re so soft-hearted. No wonder you won’t be able to win against Shaun in this lifetime. You can only be like this forever.”
Mason hung up straight away.
