Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 428 A Rescue Mission

Sonia ran through a list of possible names and faces in her mind but failed to recall anyone she knew with the name Lucius Hayes. However, the name sounded rather familiar to her, like she had heard it somewhere else. That name rings a bell. Where did I hear it?

“That’s right!” Declan looked away with coldness in his eyes and fiddled with his ring. “I’ve been searching for Lucius for a few years, but he is a hard man to find. In fact, he is so good I couldn’t find a way to hurt him, so I turned my attention to you.” The man stroked Sonia’s chin with his cold fingers, sending chills down her spine and filling her eyes with horror.

Feeling utterly dismayed, Sonia acknowledged the distress signal her intuition was sending her. This man is definitely creeping me out. “Turned your attention to me?” She gulped and asked through her shivering lips, “Why me?”

“I just told you. It’s because you’re the woman Lucius cares about, and since he is my target, I can only execute my plan, starting from you. Once I have you, he is going to come and rescue you, and when he gets here, I’m going to kill him.” Declan revealed his evil plan with an eerie smile.

“A-Are you going to kill him?” Sonia asked with a shaking voice.

“I can only find peace in his death!” Declan admitted his sinister intention to kill. In fact, he was Robert’s fourth son, as well as his fourth illegitimate son. When Robert was younger, he loved to sleep around, which was why he had so many illegitimate sons. Although Declan was the fourth son, he still had a few other younger half-brothers.

While all of Robert’s illegitimate sons wanted to be the Hayes Family’s heir to inherit the huge fortune, they all fought among each other, yet Robert did nothing to stop that. Thus, their infighting grew more and more intense, as they all wouldn’t rest until they got rid of each other.

Although Robert initially had more than 10 illegitimate sons, most of them were either dead, maimed, or exiled in other countries, leaving only Declan and four other of his half-brothers. Just when the five sons thought the place to be the Hayes Family’s heir would be a fight among them, they were surprised by Robert, who had no intention of making any of them his heir. Instead, he had been secretly looking for the son that belonged to his wife because that was the legitimate son of the Hayes Family.

Nevertheless, Robert’s legitimate son, Lucius, was cast away from home with his mother when he was 5 years old. Therefore, his half-brothers had never viewed him as an enemy, only to be stunned by Robert’s sudden change in his inclination. Since Robert was growing old and ill, he began to miss his wife and son, so he dispatched his men to search for them, in order to make him his heir.
