170 Rex’s childhood
Still, the wench didn’t give up and started to team up with her children’s enemies to bring them down.
Conniving with Mulan and the Xu family to poison Valen was the least Rex would bear. If she dared to
really get involved with what really happened to May, Jeslyn, and Valen, Rex swore in his heart to get
rid of that woman no matter what Maverick would say.
Celestine placed her hand on Rex’s bailed fist. They understood his pain. They were there and
witnessed the brothers‘ struggles, so they know that even though May and Rex are indifferent towards
their mother, somewhere deep down in their hearts, they long for affection. Even though it’s just a little
bit of affection from that woman. Unfortunately, the woman is too greedy and self–centered to care
about her children.
Rex got up and walked out. He was in pain and he didn’t want the others to see him in his worst state.
“What are you still waiting for? Go console him,” Inspector Fin side–eyed Celestine who was staring at
Rex’s back.
“Shut your mouth!” Celestine glared at Fin who smiled meaningfully and nodded his head in the
direction of the door, telling her to go after him.
Celestine rolled her eyes before leaving.
Doctor Matt watched Celestine leave and he subconsciously tightened his hold on the pen he was
holding.
“Let it go already. She doesn’t know about your feelings and also doesn’t have such feelings for you.”
“You talk too much,” Doctor Matt snapped at Fin.
“Why won’t I vocalize it? I can’t be the only one going through a Relationship mess. We all have to go
through the same. What are friends for?” Fin got up and patted Matt on the shoulder before leaving.
Matt sighed and placed the pen on the table before resting his back on the chair and closing his eyes.
Life is not easy for the affluent either!
It was late into the night when Maverick entered Jeslyn’s room, however, she was not sleeping. She
was pacing back and forth, waiting for the result.
The second a click was heard on the door, Jeslyn immediately turned. Seeing it was Maverick, she
hurried to him and held his hands.
“Plum, how did it go?” (2)
“It was a match.”
“R- really? Th- then, will Valen be well now?” Her eyes were already forming fat tears to convey how
excited she was.
“Mn, you saved your son.” Maverick smiled.
The tears fell uncontrollably after hearing Maverick call Valen her son. She hugged him and buried her
face in his chest. “That’s right, Valen is my son.”

Jeslyn felt her anxious heart relaxing after making a strong determination. She got confirmation from
her son’s father, so she is allowed to claim Valen now, right?
Jeslyn knew she was doing the wrong thing by ‘stealing‘ someone else’s child but she can’t help it. The
bond that had developed over the months she knew Valen was simply not something she could fake.
She loves Valen and is possessive of him. It’s as simple as that.
Vera on the other hand was having a sweet dream even though she was not aware of the result yet.
Well, she is. She knew it wouldn’t be a match, meaning that her unborn child would have to be kept.
Also, the real drama will begin starting tomorrow, so she’s enjoying her ‘turning–point‘ sleep.
At Rex’s place…
Rex got out of his car and entered his Villa. The first thing he did was to enter the shower and take a
cold bath.
As the water ran down his clean and smooth skin, his memory jolted.
“Mother, please. don’t go!!” Two and half years old Rex was holding his mother’s shoes while sitting on
the floor. 1
Madam Caroline glanced down at him with disgust before she kicked him away like she was kicking a
ball. She said something after that but Rex couldn’t remember it. It was already a miracle that he could
still retain that memory of when he was just 2 and a half years old.
At three years old, Rex remembered seeing his mother in a gathering with other women and the child
ran away from his father and went to hug Madam Caroline. However, in return, the woman picked him
up from the back of his shirt with her fingers and raised him to her face level.
“Who owns this thing?” She asked before flinging him away. Good thing his father was quick to come to
his rescue and caught him in mid–air. They exchanged words but little Rex was crying and didn’t pay
attention to what was being said. 3
At the age of five, Rex saw little Piper playing in school. They attended the same school. He knew that
she was his sister, thanks to the other Lu family members that kept bullying him and Maverick. So, Rex
approached the child who just resumed kindergarten and intended to play with her but the child cried
so hard that Rex got scared.
The teacher carried Piper away and consoled her. But when Piper’s nanny came to pick her up, the
teacher lied that Rex beat Piper. The nanny went to report to Madam Caroline and she came to school
the next day. Madam Caroline had the teachers make a muddy pool and threw Rex in it to drown.
The school authorities and teachers were all standing around and doing nothing to stop the woman. · If
not for Maverick and his friends who hurried into the pool to drag Rex out, he might have died.
That was the first day Maverick pulled his first trigger. He brought a gun to school for whatever reason
he had. Maverick killed the school authorities and teachers who were quietly watching the show.
If not for Matt who slapped Maverick’s neck to make him tall unconscious, Maverick might have killed
Caroline and Piper because Maverick of that day was like a demon leaving hell.
That was also the day Rex learned to accept that Madam Caroline wasn’t their mother. They only had a
father who died a few days before Madam Caroline bried to drown Rex in a pool of mud. The only
person Rex got to rely on after that day was Maverick
Their father died a few days ago, so they no longer had a backbone.
Rex’s eyes snapped open and he wiped the water off his face before turning off the shower.
