Samuel was also a little nervous.
At this moment, Joseph hurriedly took out a small bottle from his schoolbag. He put a drop of the liquid
from the bottle on his hand, and quickly applied it on his temples. Instantly, a strong coolness woke him
up.
He carefully poured the incense ash into a bottle again and began to test it.
Samuel did not disturb Joseph, and Zoe also held her breath, waiting outside.
No one knew how long it took. Joseph finally raised his head and said to Samuel and Zoe, "Dad, it's
done. Please come in."
After he finished speaking, he sprayed some liquids in the ancestral hall, which made the smell of the
incense fade a lot.
Samuel walked in with Zoe in her arms when Joseph finished all these.
"How is it?"
"Something was wrong with the incense. It contained some drug components that can make people
hallucinate. The climate here is very special. It's humid all year round. Once the incense is ignited, it
will have a chemical reaction with the wet air and create some scenes that people may think it's real.
Plus, we are at an ancestral hall. It doesn't usually open windows or doors, so the effect will be even
stronger."
At this moment, Joseph seemed to change into a different person. Instead of being reserved and
wordless, he confidently talked about the medical things, which was especially dazzling.
Watching at Joseph, Samuel seemed to see the young Vincent.
At that time, Vincent did not seem to be as ordinary as they said.
Samuel still remembered that he had watched the reading speech contest that Vincent had attended.
At that time, Vincent was at the same age as Joseph. He stood on the stage, giving the speech to more
than three hundred audiences confidently. He was not nervous at all, just as dazzling as Joseph.
Yeah.
Vincent was excellent when he was young, just like Samuel.
Since when did Vincent become ordinary?
Samuel could not remember.
He only remembered that because of the contrast with Vincent, he had been more and more
outstanding. As Laurel had thought highly of him, Vincent had gradually turned into a nobody, and
people paid no attention to him anymore.
Samuel was lost in memory.
He still remembered how he and Vincent played together when he was a kid.
At that time, they were carefree. Vincent even fought with others for him, but since when did the
relationship between the two of them change?
Now there was a gap between them. Vincent respected him, but they were not friends or brothers
anymore.
Samuel felt heartsick suddenly.
Joseph was still talking, but Samuel could not hear him. He felt that he had seen Vincent in front of him.
Vincent smiled at him, but tears ran down his face.
He said, "Samuel, why do we have to compete with each other? Why can't we play around and have
fun like the other brothers? Samuel, do you remember the great time that we had?"
As Vincent cried, his tears turned red.
Just like the color of blood.
"Samuel, I want to go home. I miss you. But why did you drive me out of the Seapolis City? Why? Why
didn't you ask me to stay? Do you think that I should go too? Do you think I'm a threat to you if I stay?"
Vincent said in a mournful voice.
"Samuel, I have never wanted to compete with you for these years. I just want to stay with you. You are
my twin brother. I don't care even if I pretend to be stupid. All I want is to be with you. Samuel, why
didn't you agree to such a simple request? Why did you agree with Mom to send me away?"
"If I hadn't left the Seapolis City, I wouldn't have die. I wouldn't have been an undercover agent. I'm still
a master in the Green family. Even if I'm useless, at least I'm still by your side, instead of dying alone
here. Samuel, do you know my feelings to you for these years?"
"I love you, but I also hate you. I hate you to send me away. I hate you not to keep Riley stay and let
her meet me here. If I had not met Riley, perhaps I wouldn't have fallen in love with her, and I would not
hate you so much. From beginning to end, the person she loved wasn't me. I was just a substitute for
you, you know? Samuel! Ever since I was young, I have lived in your shadow. I am not stupid, and I
can be a genius as well. However, Mom said that our family only needed one leader. I know your
ambitions, so I give up. I'd rather be a playboy. I am happy as long as you do what you want to do. My
wish is very simple. I just want to be with you. But Samuel, you still sent me away. If it weren't for you,
maybe I wouldn't be dead. Samuel, you were the one who killed me! It was you!"
"No!"
Samuel's heart ached suddenly. He spit out blood and was about to fall down.
"Daddy!"
Zoe was frightened.
She had never seen Samuel like this before.
She tightly gripped Samuel's hand, but Samuel seemed to be in a nightmare, unable to hear her call.
"No, no! Vincent, I don't care about the Green family. I don't want to be the leader. I just thought that I
am your older brother, so I have to take the responsibility of the family and let you live your own life
without troubles. I have never wanted to hold you down, nor sent you away. However, if you did not
leave at that time, you would be put in prison. How could I let my own brother go to jail? Vincent, don't
hate me! You can't hate me! You're my brother! We are bounded in the closest relation! How could I not
love you? How could I kill you? It was not me! No!"
Samuel cried insanely, and his tears were rolling down on his face.
Zoe was completely frightened.
Joseph was also stunned.
He heard the name of his biological father.
He was very familiar with the name Vincent, but he had never had chance to contact with this person.
His father died just after he was born.
Joseph's heart ached, as if it was being prickled.
Samuel was crying, as if he was repenting or explaining, which made Joseph feel bad.
Joseph did not care about what happened between them. However, at this moment, his heart ached
badly, and he even felt aggrieved and angry.
He just looked straight at Samuel. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the end, Zoe was exhausted and failed to hold Samuel. They both fell to the ground.
The intense pain made Zoe want to cry.
She didn't know what happened to Daddy, nor where Mommy was.
How could such things happen?
Daddy was always strong, wasn't he?
Why did she feel that Daddy was like a helpless child now?
Zoe patted Samuel's arm in fear and whispered, "Daddy, wake up! Please wake up! Uncle is not here.
Daddy, wake up quickly! Just think of Mommy, think of me, and think of Joseph!"
Zoe suddenly remembered that Joseph was also here.
She turned to look at Joseph.
"Joseph, come and check what happened to Daddy. Joseph ... you..."
Zoe widened her eyes.
At this moment, Joseph was cold and indifferent, and he looked at Samuel with intense hatred.
Hatred?
Joseph hated Daddy?
When this thought came into Zoe's mind, she was shocked and quickly stood in front of Samuel.
"Joseph, what are you doing? Daddy may have been drugged by the incense now. Joseph, hurry up
and help him!"
"Help him? Why? Didn't you hear? He is the one who hold my father down. He drove my father away,
so my father died alone in a strange land. He's confessing! Zoe, he's confessing. Didn't you hear?"
Joseph's eyes suddenly turned red and his tears fell down.
"I would also have a perfect family originally. I would have my father and mother who loved me, and we
would live a very happy life. But it is all ruined because of him. He destroyed my father, killed my
mother, and made me an orphan. He even pretended to be a good person and raised me in the Green
family. He said it was good for me, but in fact, it was not my home. My home was destroyed by him. It's
him!"
Joseph suddenly became furious.
Zoe was stunned.
What was going on?
Why did Joseph say that?
Could it be that Joseph has been living so unhappily at home these past few days?
"Joseph, it's not like that! What's happened to you? Joseph!"
Zoe suddenly got up from the ground and ran towards Joseph. She grabbed his arm and shook
violently.
"Daddy and Mommy are really good to you. Don't you feel it? Because of you, Mommy was poisoned
by Laurel and became dumb. She was kicked out of the Green family, but she still brought you along as
she was afraid that they would hurt you. Don't you remember? How can you say things like that? How
sad would Mommy be if she was here? Joseph, this is not you! This is not the real you! Please wake
up! Joseph, we are a family, and you are my big brother! How can you leave me alone at this time?
Wake up! Wake up!"
Zoe's tears fell on the back of Joseph's hand.
Joseph was stunned.
He coldly looked at Zoe who was crying in front of him, but his heart ached that even made him feel
suffocated.
Why did he feel so bad?
Why did Zoe cry?
Joseph wanted to wipe away her tears, but in his heart, there seemed to be a voice scolding him.
"Joseph, are you crazy? She is the daughter of the person who killed your father. How can you love
her?"
This voice was so loud and fierce, which instantly stunned him.
Zoe stopped crying gradually. She suddenly ran over and poured everything out of Joseph's bag. When
she saw a bottle of chili-pepper water, she paused, and then quickly picked it up and immediately
turned back to Joseph.
"Joseph, I want you back! Just come back!"
Zoe cried out and immediately poured the chili-pepper water towards Joseph.
"Oh!"
The spicy sensation stimulated Joseph. He suddenly fell to the ground and his tears were flowing down
his face.
"Zoe, what are you doing?"
Joseph screamed, but Zoe laughed.
