Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 571 Your Sister Yulia

Layne coughed and said, "Your sister." "Layne, are you trying to die? You dare curse at me?" Baron’s voice immediately rose. Layne quickly explained, "I’m not cursing you. It really is your sister. Your half-sister, Yulia." Baron sneered. "My mom only had me. Where would I get a sister? Even if I did, it would be Yvonne. As for some Yulia, I’m not interested." "No, wait, don’t hang up. Listen to me." Layne’s voice held a trace of excitement. Although Baron didn't know what he was excited about, Natalie wasn't awake, so he didn't mind hearing what Layne had to say. Layne coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "I’ve got some big gossip about the Gunn family for you." "Hm?" Baron had no love for the Gunn family, but he was fine with listening to gossip. "Go ahead. I’m free right now." Baron sat down on a nearby chair. Layne said in a low voice, "You know that stepmother who forced your mother and you out? Didn't she give your dad a son? Well, he apparently got sick a few days ago, and when he went to the hospital for a check-up, they found out he’s not your dad’s kid. This whole thing has blown up in the Gunn family. The son who’s been raised as the Gunn family heir for all these years actually isn't from the Gunn family line. Tell me, isn't that hilarious?" Baron didn't really care about the Gunn family's affairs, but he was still stunned for a moment upon hearing the news. A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Back then, his mother had been forced into a divorce by the head of the Gunn family precisely because that woman was pregnant. She then left the Gunn family with him. At the time, everyone in the Gunn family felt that he, Baron, wouldn't amount to much and certainly couldn't shoulder the Gunn family's future. So, he was essentially abandoned by the Gunn family. Later, that woman had a son named Trent. He was doted on by the Gunn family head like the apple of his eye. For years, all resources were poured into Trent, and everyone knew he was the future heir of the Gunn family. And now, it's revealed he isn't the Gunn family head's biological son? Baron couldn't help but feel like laughing. He, the real biological son, was cast aside like a worn-out shoe, while some bastard from outside was doted on for all to see. Now that this was out, the one who lost the most face was probably the Gunn family head. But what did this have to do with Yulia? Baron couldn't figure it out. Layne had thought Baron would find this satisfying, but when he didn't hear Baron's voice for a long time, he couldn't help but worry. "Baron, are you okay? Don’t you have anything to say about this?" "No." Baron’s voice was flat. "When my mom left the Gunn family with me, I was already done with them. This joke is good for a laugh, but I can't be bothered with the rest. Just reject Yulia's offer. The Gunn family is in turmoil right now. I don't want to get involved. It's bad luck." Hearing him say this, Layne understood what Baron meant. "Okay. I’ll reject it then. But I've heard about this Yulia. Even though she's a girl, she's the type who won't stop until she gets what she wants. I'm afraid she might come looking for you personally." Hearing Layne say this, Baron sneered. "Even if Trent isn't a Gunn family child, he's still her half-brother on their mother's side. I can't imagine what she'd come to me for.""Nope." Layne immediately grew excited. "Baron, let me tell you, that Trent is neither your dad's kid nor your stepmom's biological son. Apparently, when your stepmom was giving birth back then, the baby was stillborn. It just so happened that her older sister was also giving birth at the same time. So she took her sister's son and raised him as her own. Your stepmom and her sister look very alike, and Trent looks just like his mother, so all these years, people just said the son takes after the mom. No one ever suspected Trent's true identity." Baron hadn't known this part of the story. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "So that makes him Yulia's cousin. They're still blood-related and grew up together. She should be helping Trent." "Yeah, you'd think so, but I heard Yulia was in love with a man, and Trent secretly had him killed. Ever since then, the two siblings have been enemies. Now that Yulia knows Trent isn't her real brother, she wants to partner with us at Grant International Holdings to trip Trent up and kick him out of the Gunn family for good. I heard your dad… still seems reluctant to give up on Trent." Layne clicked his tongue twice as he said this. "What do you think your dad is thinking? He already knows Trent isn't his kid, but he still has expectations for him, thinking that after raising him for over twenty years, Trent will repay him. Why hasn't he ever thought about finding you, his real biological son? After all, no matter how you look at it, you're a hundred times better than that Trent."
