Chapter 166 - Chloe's Letter For Vincent

I met a small boy after giving birth to twins. The boy had jet black hair and black eyes. Sometimes when his eyes looked at something seriously, the glint in his eyes seemed like they could pierce someone's soul.

The kid reminded me of someone. The one who has nurtured me with affection and also protected me from all dangers. It was not that his face or hair was similar, but the gaze in the boy's eyes was exactly like that of that person.

I was attracted to the child, adored and cherished him like my own son. Sometimes when I miss my children, I will make that boy a substitute for my two children. I pamper him, doted on him even better than my sister.

When I found out that the kid wanted to join the dark family organization, a part of me felt proud of him. Seeing him grow up from a young age into a teenager made me even more convinced that this kid could definitely be a good leader. This child even could become a ruler who will be respected and feared by his competitor.

But part of me said otherwise. I felt guilty for letting him into my world. I was regretful that he couldn't enter the maturation process normally. I ruined his life and his future. I am so ashamed of my selfishness.

If only I had not let him into my life, if I had left the door of the house closed to strangers; I am sure that the child must be happy and filled with abundant love from his family.

I am currently writing this letter because I will probably leave this world in a few hours. The kid sent me an emergency message saying he was in danger. I know he didn't send it. I know this is just a fake message to lure me out. But I'll still be going out. The reason is that before this, someone gave me a threatening letter. If I don't leave this place within the allotted time, not only that kid, but he will harm my two brothers.

Somehow that person knew where Daniel was. That person even knew my daughter and my brother's daughters. This evil person even killed my brother's wife.

Of course, I can't stay silent. That's why I'm using this opportunity to serve as an excuse for me to sneak out.

The reason why I was desperate to go out wasn't just to protect the people I love, but because I knew that someone from out there was trying to destroy my family. At first, I thought my cousin was threatening me, but I realized... there are other people who act even more horrifying than my cousins. I wish I could find out, and I'll try to find a way to warn all of you.

That's why anyone who reads this letter, be it my daughter or that child, I want to tell that child...

I'm sorry, and don't blame yourself for my death. The truth is, my life is only a few months away. Most of my organs have been damaged as a result of consuming too much poison. I purposely hid it from the organization and my two cousins, Alpha and Zero. I don't want them to make a fuss and use any means to cure me. That's why I chose to die at their hands.

At the very least, if that person felt that he succeeded in killing me, my two brothers, my daughter, and the black-haired boy will be safe for some time to come. They have had enough time to get stronger, and when they are in danger, they can protect themselves and their loved ones.

Once again, I want to say to the black-haired boy... I'm sorry, but I would like you to know that I'm delighted to meet you and very proud of you as a mother and sister.

Love always,

Chloeny Paxton

Cathy has repeatedly read letters marked RR2 for the past six months until she memorized it by heart. Shortly after Cathy and Vincent finished their lunch, Cathy told the contents of the letter to Vincent. She felt suspicious that the letter was not addressed to her nor her brother but Vincent.

At first, she had indeed doubted whether Vincent's hair and eyes were black as she saw it, but when she dreamed of a little boy with black hair and black eyes, she became convinced that the child she was dreaming of was the child it meant in the letter. Vincent was the boy her mother felt guilty about.

Ever since Cathy heard her family story and read her mother's letter, Cathy felt the memories that should have been buried and forgotten just burst into the form of dreams.

Even though everyone said the two of them weren't meant to be together, it was just the opposite for Cathy. Little Rinrin followed Vincent wherever he went, and the black-haired boy, who was infamous for being impatient with small children, always accompanied her patiently. The two separate and forget each other but finally meet again more than twenty years later.

When they meet again, the relationship between the two did not go well. But then their relationship got closer and inseparable. Even after not seeing each other for a year, the feelings of the two remained unchanged. It seems that their feelings became much stronger than last year, especially after knowing they had met in the past.

"What are you thinking about? You've been silent." Cathy asked because she couldn't stand their silence after telling Vincent the contents of RR2's letter.

"Nothing important. I find my situation very ironic. I feel guilty for saying such hurtful words about Chloe, while she feels guilty for involving me in LS. I wanted to get out of the Paxton conflict while I didn't want to leave her alone. The person who got me involved in LS was myself. I decided to join because of my own will and not because of anyone's influence. Even though Lest didn't offer me to join, I think I will do something beyond my mind." in fact, he had indeed formed his elite team and built a Flex group with great success.

Maybe if he had never received training from Lest, Vincent would have enlarged and strengthened Regnz's business endeavors. This would endanger the entire Regnz family, and there might be animosity between siblings.

Hence, he was grateful that he had learned a lot while he received the harsh training. He would never be the way he is now if not for Chloe.. Therefore he couldn't really hate the entire LS.
