Chapter 1009: Father’s Past
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Maverick didn’t seem to anticipate that Connor would undergo such a drastic change after leaving the McDonald family.

At this moment, Connor felt extremely unfamiliar. Both his tone of speech and his approach to doing things were different from before.

He knew that something must have happened to Connor for him to become like this.

He wanted to ask Connor directly about what he had experienced, but Connor remained resistant and showed no intention of answering the question. He decided not to push further.

“How did my parents really die?” Connor, seeing Maverick’s silence, furrowed his brows and asked in a low voice.

Maverick raised his head slowly, glanced at him, and said with a composed expression, “Connor, let me advise you. Knowing too much about what happened in the past won’t do you any good. Some things have already happened, and no matter what we do now, we can’t change them. So it’s better for you not to inquire further…”

“This matter is related to the deaths of my parents. How can I pretend it never happened?” Connor gritted his teeth and exclaimed coldly.

He detested Maverick’s attitude the most. Regardless of the circumstances, Maverick was still Dawson’s father. However, he couldn’t understand why Maverick was so indifferent to his own son’s death.

“Even if you know, what can you do? Can you change anything?” Maverick continued.

“Maybe I couldn’t change anything before, but now I’m not the same person I was back then,” he replied calmly.

Maverick took a deep breath and said softly, “Fine, since you’re so eager to know what happened back then, I’ll tell you…”

Connor looked at Maverick, waiting silently for him to speak.

“We need to start with your father’s past,” Maverick began.

“My father’s past?” Connor frowned slightly, his expression showing confusion.

“Yes, actually, your father is not my biological son. He was just an adopted child!” Maverick nodded.

When Connor heard these words from him, his expression was filled with disbelief.

Although the McDonald family treated Connor poorly, he had never doubted his own blood relationship. He thought the reason why the McDonald family treated him this way was simply because they wanted to divide the McDonlad Corporation among themselves.

But he never imagined that he truly had no relation to the McDonald family!

This meant that he was actually an orphan, with no real family in this world.

Connor stared at Maverick, his expression filled with shock.

He never expected that he wasn’t really part of the McDonald family!

“Are you telling the truth?” Connor asked coldly.

“At this point, I have no reason to lie to you,” Maverick replied calmly, then continued, “I promised your father to keep this secret for a lifetime. But since you’re so eager to know what happened back then, I can only tell you the truth…”

“What happened then?” Connor hurriedly asked.

“I actually had another second son who had a very good relationship with your father. But my second son passed away due to an illness. Then your father suddenly approached me and told me he needed an identity, a clean identity. He wanted to live in this world using the identity of my second son.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “At that time, I didn’t know what your father meant exactly, but he presented a very tempting condition. He promised to change the fate of everyone in the McDonald family. And at that time, I was just a small factory owner, and the factory was not doing well, on the verge of bankruptcy. Faced with your father’s offer, I had no way to refuse!”

Connor looked at Maverick’s face in front of him, shocked by his expression. He never imagined that his father and Maverick had such a history.

“In the end, I chose to conceal the news of my second son’s death and, with everyone from the McDonald family, followed your father to Dexas to start a new life,” Maverick said slowly.

“Do the other members of the McDonald family know about this?” Connor quickly asked.

“Yes, Huxley, Harland and the others are aware of it,” Maverick nodded gently.

Connor finally understood why the McDonald family treated him so poorly. It turned out that everyone knew he wasn’t a part of the family except for himself.

“After arriving in Dexas, your father indeed fulfilled his promise. Within a few short years, he established the McDonlad Corporation, and the development speed of the company was astonishing. Our lives changed along with it. At that time, the McDonlad Corporation was prominent in Dexas, and your father met your mother and then you…”

Maverick looked at Connor and said earnestly.noveldrama

“And then?” Connor felt that something was amiss and asked excitedly.

“I was curious about your father’s true identity, so I tried every means to find out, but I had no success. However, a few months before your father had an accident, he suddenly found me and voluntarily revealed his secret to me…”

Maverick said in a low voice.

Connor looked at Maverick, waiting silently for him to continue.

“Your father told me that the reason he was able to build the McDonlad Corporation so big was because he worked for an organization called Rockefeller. This Rockefeller organization is massive, on a scale that ordinary people can’t imagine!”

Maverick paused for a moment and continued, “Your father was the head of Rockefeller in Dexas. But Rockefeller has a rule that all leaders must conceal their identities and not let outsiders know about Rockefeller’s existence.”

Upon hearing his words, Connor’s expression remained calm. After all, he already knew that his father was associated with Rockefeller, so there was no need for surprise. He was curious about what would happen next.
