You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 401

Madeline got Sebastian to help with Caitlin's matter.

Sebastian's subordinates wasted no time in getting the job done, and by the very next day, they found her father, Raphael Owen's friend.

Raphael's friend was a man named Howard Gigantes who was currently living abroad in a small country.

Sebastian's subordinates provided Madeline with Howard's contact information, and Madeline passed it to Caitlin herself. "You can call him up right away."

"Thank you so much, Maddie!" Caitlin reached out to Howard at once.

When Caitlin saw Howard appearing in their video call, she couldn't help but gape. Her eyes slowly turned red as she cried out tearily, "I-It's Mr. Gigantes!"

Although the man in the video was a little wizened with age and not as youthful as the man in the photos, his features were largely the same and Caitlin recognized him right away.

After so many years of searching, she finally found the last person who was present during the incident back then.

Howard studied Caitlin for a moment before asking, "Are you Raphael's daughter?"

"That's right." She nodded as she fought back her tears. "Mr. Gigantes, I called you up because I wanted to ask you about the incident back then…"

"The incident back then…" He sounded a little melancholic as he drifted off in thought.

"Yes." Caitlin nodded again. "Back then, after Mr. Wheeler's unfortunate demise, his family started fighting over his inheritance. They even went to court over it, and while they were fighting to inherit Mr. Wheeler's fortune, they treated his son very well and tried their best to win him over. However, once the inheritance was awarded, the one who got it, which was Lucian's second uncle, began to abuse him. When my father went to visit Lucian at his uncle's house, he saw the family verbally and physically abusing him. My father couldn't accept it, so he adopted Lucian…"

Howard frowned. "What about Lucian's mother?"

"His mother didn't want custody," she explained. "I was still young at the time, so I don't know all the details. All I know is Lucian's mother gave up custody. That's why Lucian's uncles and aunt all fought over gaining custody of him."

"Why did she do that?" He frowned and elaborated, "I remember visiting Lucian's mother before I left the country. She even told me that she would do her best to raise Lucian. He's her only son. Why would she give up custody and leave Lucian with that bunch of greedy relatives?"

"I don't know." Caitlin shook her head. "Mr. Wheeler's death is a sore spot for my father, and he never talks about Mr. Wheeler, not even when I ask him."

"Yeah…" Howard sighed. "Your father's not the only one who was haunted by Raphael's death. It's something that'll haunt me for the rest of my life too… I chose to leave the country back then because I couldn't bear to face it as well…"

"Mr. Gigantes, can you tell me what happened back then?" she asked a little frantically. "After my father took Lucian in, my parents treated him as if he were their own son. The four of us were very happy, but Lucian, that fool, believed someone else's words and insisted that my father was the one who caused his birth father's death…"

The thought of her parents who died so abruptly made Caitlin's tears stream down her face. "He took revenge on our family and drove us to ruins…"

"Drove the family to ruins?" Howard straightened up at once. "What do you mean by that? Your father—"

"He passed away…" Caitlin declared through her tears. "Lucian didn't stop at just buying over my family's company. He even snatched our ancestral home anyway. My father couldn't take it, so…"

By now, her face was covered in teary streaks. "My parents were so in love that my father's death broke my mother's heart, and she passed away soon after. I'm the only one left now…"

Seeing Howard, who was one of her father's closest friends, made her think about her father. Racked with tears, her body started trembling.

Madeline and Leigh sat on either side of her and comforted her by holding her.

After a while, Caitlin rubbed her tears away a little forcefully before looking at Howard. "Mr. Gigantes, this is why I've been trying my hardest to look for you. I want to find out the truth of the incident back then and I want to know if my father is the reason why Lucian's father died. If he isn't, then I hope you can be my father's witness and inform Lucian of the truth. I don't want my father to die bearing the weight of a crime he didn't commit."
