Oriana quickly furrowed her eyebrows. She looked at the lawyer,
“What did you just say? Can you repeat it?”
“Oriana, don’t panic!”
Joyce immediately stood up and blocked Oriana behind her. She looked at the lawyer, and asked,
“Damien wants to sue me for…rape?”
“Miss Brown, you heard it right. Mr. Robert is suing you for raping him twenty three years ago. Miss Brown will definitely not be able to deny this case, because Miss Hendrix is your evidence,”
the lawyer replied. Oriana was completely stunned. She couldn’t understand what was happening. She had just brought a lawyer to bail Joyce, who was accused of being a prostitute. And then suddenly, her biological father had accused her mother of raping him. Joyce really did not expect that Damien would act this way. He still had the nerve to sue her. Didn’t she make him happy back then?
“Miss Robert, since your daughter, Miss Hendrix, is already old, Mr. Robert doesn’t plan to send you in. Mr. Robert chose to reconcile in private.”
With that, the lawyer handed over a stack of documents to Joyce.
“Miss Brown, have a look. Here is our estimate of Mr. Robert’s loss. In the last
twenty three years, because of your actions, Mr. Robert has suffered physically and men tally. He was also psychologically affected by your actions. So, we will reasonably charge you with an amount. Once the amount of the claim is received, we will let this matter be turned over and we will forget about it.”
Joyce turned to the last page and looked at the amount of claim. She murmured with widened eyes,
“10.1 billion?”
Oriana also leaned over to take a look. The amount claimed was over ten billion dollars.
“Miss Brown, Mr. Robert claim amount is 10.1 billion, the lawyer said with a smile.
Joyce looked at the lawyer in shock.
“10.1 billion? Why doesn’t he rob a bank?”
Twenty-three years ago, she had chosen the most perfect genes in the world, and thus she selected Damien. That night, she slept with Damien, the son of Imperial. She just didn’t know that he was worth over ten billion dollars. The lawyer smiled and said,
“Haha, Miss Brown, you are really funny. There are countless banks. under Mr. Robert’s name. Therefore, there’s no need for him to rob any.”
Oriana took Joyce away from the station to her home. In the villa, Oriana pushed open the door and they entered inside, Joyce had just taken a shower and was wiping her damp hair with a towel,
“Mum, how are you and daddy going to resolve this?”
Joyce put down the towel,
“Oriana, don’t worry about this matter. I’ll handle it properly. I know it’s 10.1 billion. I don’t have that much money. I’m in the early stages of starting a business and I really need money.”
Oriana was not very worried about this matter. It should be no problem for her mother to solve her problem with her dad.
“By the way, mum, the last time you told me about the demon bell, can you tell me more about it now?”
Oriana asked curiously. Joyce regained her composure, and said, ‘Oriana, the Mermen incident involves our ancestor. Back then, the ancestor of Greenland and our Visionary ancestor were a couple, but the ancestor of Greenland changed his mind and betrayed our ancestor.”
“Empathy, different love? Could it be that the ancestor of Greenland had empathized with the mermen?”
Oriana probed. Joyce looked at Oriana approvingly,
“Yes, the ancestors of Greenland fell in love with the Princess of the Mermen, and broke his vows with our ancestor. Moreover, our ancestor and the Princess of the
mermen were sisters.”
This was the first time Oriana had heard of such a story. The ancestor of Greenland actually got entangled between two sisters. He was really a scu mbag.
“Our ancestor experienced the double betrayal of her lover and sister. In a rage, she left Greenland and created Visionary. Slowly, our ancestor realized that the princess of the merman race always had a bell on her body. The crisp sound of the bell could actually deceive people’s hearts. Only after that did our ancestor know that it was a demon bell.”
“Mum, since the Mermen princess is good at seduction, was it possible that the ancestor of Greenland was only bewitched by seduction, and that the one he loved deeply was our ancestor?”
Joyce slowly said,
“Back then, our ancestor was armed with a wolf cavalry and possessed medical skills that could treat any illness. Naturally, she could not tolerate the existence of a monster like the mermen. Therefore, our ancestor led the wolf cavalry to chase the mermen away. After the ancestor of Greenland woke up from the charm that was used on him, he wept bitterly in front of our ancestor and asked for forgiveness. Our ancestor and the ancestor of Greenland reconciled.”
Oriana was fascinated.
“Then this should be a story of reunion. Why did Visionary disappear from this. world, and what happened after that?”
“Later, the ancestor of Greenland proposed to our ancestor. On the wedding day, our ancestor wore. fiery red wedding dress and thought that she was going to marry her beloved lover. But the ancestor -of Greenland pierced the heart of our ancestor with a sword.”
Oriana was startled. Joyce held onto Oriana’s hand,
“At that moment, someone slowly walked out of the bridal chamber, it was the merman princess. It turned out that the ancestor of Greenland had been with the dying Mermen princess. Their plan was to assassinate our ancestor on the grounds of a big wedding, and take advantage of the wedding night to destroy our country.”
“Because I was not born at that time, I just read the records on the ancient scrolls of Visionary. According to legend, that night, there was a blood war. Corpses were sca ttered everywhere, and the water of Greenland was stained with blood.”
“Our ancestor who was stabbed by the sword of her lover, looked at her people who had lost their lives because of her own mistake. Her eyes were reddened. At that time, the princess of the merman told the ancestor of Greenland that the mermen had cursed Greenland. Even their lords can’t escape the mercenary’s seductive tricks, they’ll all be ser vants of the Mermen.”
“Our ancestor heard the curse of the Princess of the Mermen race and immediately raised her head and laughed. Our ancestor pulled the ancient sword out of her heart bit by bit, and then forcefully inserted it into the foundation of Visionary. From then on, the gate of Visionary was closed, which prevented the slaug hter of thousands of more people in Visionary. But Visionary also perished at the sea and completely disappeared from this world.”
“At the last moment of her death, our ancestor swore with her blood and left a prophecy. She said that a hundred years from now, if there was a daughter in Visionary, Visionary will definitely be stunning again.”
“Our ancestor died on that bl oody night with monstrous anger.”
Oriana listened to the thrilling past regarding the history of Visionary, Greenland, and the Mermen. It turned out that the mystery of the disappearance of Visionary went this way. The ancestor of Visionary was indeed a legendary woman. She wore a red dress stained with blood and pulled out a sword from her chest. She laid the foundation for generations to come. However, from this story, Oriana could also feel the unforgettable hatred of the ancestor of Visionary against the ancestor of Greenland. In fact, from the moment she woke up in Visionary, she had already felt the hatred for Greenland, in the hearts of the Visionary’s people. The seed of hatred had been propagated and passed down from generation to generation. It. seemed like the two countries were never going to reconcile.
Oriana’s face was devoid of emotions. She walked over to the window, looking at the moonlight outside.
“Oriana, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about you and Deacon?”
Joyce asked. Oriana nodded,
“Yes, Deacon has the blood of a child. Aunt Annabelle should be the princess who was born with Logan back then. It’s just that when she fled, she was taken to Imperial City by a ser vant girl.”
In fact, when Joyce and Anabelle became best friends more than twenty years ago, Joyce did not know that Anabelle was the imperial sister of Logan, the ruler of Greenland.
