Chapter 1100: Not Biologically Related
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Jace said was like a bolt from the blue, striking Lucas straight in the heart.
He looked at Jace with a dumbfounded expression, his ears buzzing. He couldn’t believe what he had heard at all.
Although Jace said that he didn’t know if Michael and his wife were talking about his mother back then, Lucas knew that Michael wasn’t a promiscuous philanderer. Apart from Jace’s mother, the only other woman he had had an intimate relationship with was Lucas’s mother, Emma Gray.
Furthermore, based on time, the woman they had talked about was obviously his mother!
If what Jace said was true, it meant that Emma’s son wasn’t fathered by Michael. In other words, Lucas wasn’t biologically related to the Huttons at all!
!!
How... how was this possible?
“You’re lying! You must have made it up to deceive me!
“Jace Hutton, tell me honestly. It’s all lies you made up, right?!”
Lucas’s heart was trembling violently as he stepped forward and grabbed Jace’s neck while hollering furiously.
His eyes were red, and he was almost unable to control his strength in the heat of the moment. Overwhelmed with fury, he choked Jace so hard that Jace’s eyes rolled backward, and he was on the verge of death.
Seeing the situation going awry, Jordan quickly went forward to put his hand on Lucas’s arm. He advised anxiously, “Lucas, calm down! Don’t kill him yet. Let’s question him slowly and make him tell the truth before you decide what to do next!
“Lucas, if he dies now, it’ll be difficult for us to find out the truth!”
Although Lucas was furious, he hadn’t completely lost his mind. After hearing what Jordan said, he took two deep breaths to calm himself down and then let go of Jace’s neck.
Jace had just experienced his closest shave with death, and his face was purplish. He lay on the floor, panting heavily, his heart filled with indescribable fear.
He had once again wet his pants out of horror, but it was unnoticeable because his clothes were already drenched in cold water.
He had almost been strangled to death by Lucas. So to Jace, Lucas had become the most terrifying person in the world, even more terrifying than devils!
“Jace, I’ll give you one last chance. If you dare to lie to me again, I’ll break your neck! If you haven’t had enough of the taste just now, I can fulfill your wishes!”
Lucas clenched his fists, trying his best to keep himself calm.
But everyone could tell that Lucas was on the brink of losing his temper and that he was just trying to contain his anger. If Jace really provoked him again, Lucas would definitely kill him in a fit of anger.
Jace understood this very well. He knelt on the ground and cried miserably. “I was telling the truth! I wouldn’t dare to lie to you!
“If... if you don’t believe me, you can call Dad right now and ask him if I lied or not! I swear I didn’t lie to you. If what I said isn’t true, you... you can kill me right now!”
Jace was so flustered that he kept babbling and swearing oaths.
When Lucas heard this, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He knew that Jace was extremely terrified of death. Now that he had said this while facing the threat of death, it meant that everything he said was the truth.
In other words, he really wasn’t Michael’s biological son, nor was he a Hutton at all!
“How... how is this possible... It shouldn’t be like this,” Lucas murmured, at a loss. He took a couple of steps back and fell on the couch behind him.
The truth that Jace revealed completely subverted everything that Lucas had known for over two decades of his life.
It was Jordan’s first time seeing Lucas so dispirited and despondent.
But he had also heard what Jace just said, so he could empathize with Lucas at this moment.
Jordan had been working for Lucas for years, and Lucas had never hidden any secrets from him, regardless of what he did. He treated Jordan as his brother, so Jordan was very clear about the complicated emotions that Lucas had for the Huttons.
In the past, Lucas had been holding a grudge against the Huttons because Michael had driven him and his mother out of the Huttons, which had caused Emma to die at an early age.
But because of Lucas’s mother’s last words before her death, Lucas let the Huttons off the hook and didn’t take revenge on them or Michael. Thus, he had no choice but to force himself to bear with the hatred.
Otherwise, the Huttons and Michael would have perished a long time ago.
But what Jace said revealed that Lucas wasn’t biologically related to the Huttons at all, nor was he Michael’s son. In that case, the hatred he had borne for them for years was no longer justified.
Moreover, since Lucas wasn’t Michael’s son, who was his biological father?
Why did he abandon him and his mother over two decades ago?
Why would Michael rather let Lucas resent him for years than tell him the truth?
It left Lucas in great confusion.
Jordan thought about it and said cautiously, “Lucas, why don’t you call Michael Hutton and ask about it?”
No amount of caution was too much when it came to matters related to one’s biological parents.
Lucas suddenly stood up and said firmly. “That’s right. I’m going to get a clear explanation from Michael Hutton!”
Since he couldn’t make things clear over the phone, he had to question Michael face to face!
He wanted to know the truth of the matter!
Lucas strode toward the door while Jordan quickly asked, “Lucas, what about this guy?”
He pointed at Jace, who was curled up into a ball on the floor, looking terrified.
Lucas looked at Jace with a complicated expression before saying, “Take him with us. We’ll go to the Huttons together.”
“Yes, Lucas!” Jordan immediately acknowledged.
...
During the journey, Lucas sat in the passenger seat with a gloomy expression and complicated emotions within him.
In fact, although he hadn’t gone to Michael to ask yet, he was already clear of the outcome.
He probably really wasn’t Michael’s son.
If Michael really wasn’t his father, it would no longer be necessary for him to resent him for being so heartless for so many years.
Besides, Jace was Michael’s only son, and he could... no longer harm him easily.

Hah, how ridiculous!
Forty minutes later, the black Land Rover drove up to the gate of the Hutton manor in DC.
It was the first time Lucas had returned to this familiar gate since he was driven out of the family when he was eight years old.
