Chapter 356 - Trauma

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

So many years had passed, but Huo Xia remained a trauma in Mr. Huo’s heart. He still remembered that he had entered his family’s company at that time and worked hard every day. However, when he occasionally heard his father talking to his trusted subordinate, he’d mention him and Huo Xia ina

regretful tone.

Mr. Huo still remembered that his father sighed and said, “My two sons are really worrying. The eldest son is ambitious, but he’s mediocre and can only barely protect the family business. If I don’t have my youngest son, he could be considered a qualified successor. However, God had given me a genius

youngest son. It’s a pity…”

At that time, Mr. Huo didn’t know what his father’s last words of pity meant, but he felt that his father was already leaning towards handing the Huo Family to Huo Xia.

Since then, Mr. Huo had trouble sleeping countless times. Every time he saw Huo Xia, he wanted him to die sooner. However, he knew that if he were to lay his hands on Huo Xia, their father would definitely not let him off.

The devil in his heart kept growing. In the end, a crazy thought popped up in Mr. Huo’s mind. Why not just kill his father? When his father died sooner, as the eldest son, he would naturally be able to obtain most of the inheritance. Then, he would be able to get rid of the eyesore mother and son. Wouldn’t

that be a foolproof plan?

‘What Mr. Huo did not expect was that although the plan went well, his father seemed to have understood the truth behind this plot at the last moment.

Old Master Huo did not send his eldest son to prison. Instead, he left behind a will on his deathbed to let Mr. Huo, his eldest son, inherit the Huo Family’s company. He only left some fixed assets overseas for his widow and youngest son, sending them far away from Mr. Huo’s territory.

At first, Mr. Huo was only happy that his father suddenly valued him and that he had become the true successor of the Huo Family.

However, later on, when the joy dissipated, Mr. Huo realized that his father’s actions had a deeper meaning. He seemed to have expelled his youngest son and his young wife, but he had also ensured their safety.

Mr. Huo did not know how much his father knew about his plan, nor did he know if his father had told the mother and son what he had done. However, after so many years, when he occasionally thought of Huo Xia, he would still feel wary and afraid.

It wasn’t that Mr, Huo hadn’t thought of completely getting rid of the eyesore mother and son, but Old Master Huo’s arrangements before his death were very thorough. He left all his connections abroad to Huo Xia.

This made Mr. Huo unable to reach them and could only let them live freely for so many years.

Now that he had seen the man he was most afraid of at the Hill Family’s banquet, Mr. Huo felt uneasy again.

Then, Mr. Huo consoled himself inwardly. (Now, I’ve completely taken control of the Huo Family, but Huo Xia still looks like he won’t be able to live for much longer. Even if he knows the truth about our father’s death back then and wants to come back to take revenge on me, he has a dilapidated body and

also didn’t have any foundation in the country. What can he do?)

With this in mind, Mr. Huo slowly felt relieved. However, he didn’t know that his peace of mind wouldn’t last long. Soon, he would welcome a storm that could completely destroy him.

At this moment, the Huo Family’s old mansion, which had been quiet for more than ten years, welcomed its owner again. A white-haired maid stood at the door, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the thin and weak young man slowly walking out of the car. She called out in a choked voice,

“Young Master, you’re finally back…”

At this moment, Huo You and He Yu were exchanging a passionate kiss before she pushed the man, who had been hugging her tightly, away mercilessly.

Her clothes had been messed up by the man. Earlier, her gaze was blurry as she sank into a love trap. The moment she pushed He Yu away, Huo You’s eyes regained their composure. “Let’s stop here for today. I have to leave.”

He Yu panted slightly, feeling very dissatisfied with Huo You’s performance. He bit her lip lightly and said in a dangerous tone, “You better give me a reason that can convince me..”
