"I guess it's because she gave birth to her own son," Sebastian said lightly. "Martin mentioned that besides two older sisters, he also has a younger brother, which means that Katrina later gave birth to a son of her own. Martin was no longer useful to them, so she didn't have to treat him nicely anymore. Fortunately, Martin was clever and escaped the house. Otherwise, you might not even be able to see him in this lifetime."
"That sounds about right…" Martin uttered in a trance. "I remember… when my brother wasn't born yet, although my mother was not as close to me as she was to my two sisters, I've never been framed…"
"They… They're beasts! They bullied you!" Karina was desperate to kill them.
When Katrina didn't have a son, she stole Martin away, and when she delivered a son, she abused Martin and even tried to kill him.
In the past, she only thought Katrina was a little hypocritical and insincere, which was why she was unwilling to get close to her, but now, she realized that Katrina, who looked soft and weak, was so cruel!
"What should we do now?" she cried and asked Aidan. "Do we call the police? Even if we do, what if she insists that she didn't swap the babies on purpose but accidentally took the wrong one?"
When she and Katrina delivered their babies, there were only three people in the room, which were she, Katrina, and Katrina's mother.
She fainted at the time, and only Katrina and Katrina's mother were awake. If Katrina and Katrina's mother insisted that there was a storm outside that day that made them carelessly take the wrong
baby, they would have no proof to punish Katrina. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Aidan clenched his fists tightly and growled, "It doesn't matter what they say. What matters is the facts that we see. If Katrina didn't know the truth, she wouldn't have treated her own son like that. Obviously, she was cruel to Martin because she knew that he was not her own son. They stole our son and even tried to kill him. I will hold this grudge against them no matter what they say. I must make them pay!"
Seeing his mother trembling with anger, Andrew wrapped his arms around her shoulders and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Reporting to the police isn't the only way to punish them. Cavendish Group is affiliated with us. If Katrina refuses to admit the truth, we can sanction them in the industry, and with the strength of our family, we can wipe them out with no effort at all."
"I'm willing to help!" Madeline glanced at Martin and announced firmly to Andrew's family. "Even until this day, I couldn't forget the way Martin was beaten and scarred when I first saw him. He almost died, so I can't forgive those who hurt him. If you decide to avenge Martin, I'm willing to help you."
Sebastian then said to Andrew, "We've always been in this together. Tell me if you need any help."
"Thanks, Seb! I also want to thank you, Madeline, but I don't think we need any more help." Andrew snorted coldly, "I alone can crush the nasty Cavendishes with my fingertip! How dare those lowly peasants plot against our family! I will definitely show them what it means to regret their own actions!"
On the other hand, Karina took Martin's hand and stared at him for a long time as if she couldn't see enough of him.
It was probably because of the blood-related nature because seeing this young man who looked very
much similar to her eldest son, she felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart.
She held Martin's hand and urged, "Martin, come home with us! Besides your eldest brother, you also have a second brother. Your second brother is on a business trip today and will only be back tomorrow, but you can stay at home for a day with us while waiting for him. When your second brother comes back, we'll be reunited again!"
Martin frowned because he was put in a difficult position now.
He didn't want to leave Madeline.
For him, home was wherever Madeline was.
When Andrew noticed Martin's hesitation, he turned to his mother and suggested, "Mom, let's take Martin to Cavendish Residence first. We have to show the Cavendishes what they did and why we are going to punish them. We also have to expose Martin's life experience and expose Katrina's conspiracy back then. We must show them that our family is not a bunch of fools who are easy to trick!"
"Andrew is right," Aidan agreed with a gloomy expression. "If they dare to abuse our children, that means they aren't taking our family seriously! Stealing one's child is crossing the line. We must avenge Martin! We will let the Cavendishes know that we aren't pushovers! Even if they plot against us, we will never let them go!"
Andrew then asked Martin, "What do you think, Martin?"
Martin looked at Madeline.
In response, Madeline nodded at him. "Go, Martin. You have to settle your grudges with the Cavendishes. You have to let them know that you already know who your real family is. From now on, you will have nothing to do with them."
The Whitfields could tell how much Martin trusted and depended on Madeline. It was easy to notice how heavy Madeline's position was in Martin's heart.
After everyone reached an agreement, Aidan immediately called Victor and asked him to assemble the entire Cavendish Family.
He informed Victor that he had something very important to talk about and that the whole family must be there.
The Cavendishes relied on the Whitfields business-wise. Although Victor was dissatisfied to be bossed around by Aidan, he still had to bite the bullet and convey his message to the family.
When the Whitfields arrived at Cavendish Residence, Victor, his wife, Cecelia, and his sons' families were all gathered.
The Cavendishes were quite a huge family. Victor had two sons. The eldest son was called Max and was married to Karina's cousin, Katrina. They had two daughters and two sons, but excluding Martin, they had one son and two daughters.
The second son was called Caius Cavendish, and he had three sons with his wife.
The group walked into the living room of Cavendish Residence, and when Victor saw three unfamiliar faces, who were Sebastian, Madeline, and Martin, he was a little surprised.
He didn't know who the three of them were.
When he saw Aidan, Karina, and Andrew coming together, he felt anxious for no reason. What would make the three members of the family come to his house? They even brought three strangers, making him even more uneasy.
Although his eldest daughter-in-law and Karina were cousins, he knew that they weren't particularly close with each other or anything. Since the Cavendishes depended on the Whitfields very much, none of them were going to offend the Whitfields.
Therefore, when he noticed how glum the Whitfield Family looked, he couldn't help his heart from thumping nervously.
