Chapter 2438
Joshua‘s words stunned Thomas for a good few seconds. After a while, he managed to calm himself and looked at
Joshua, “What makes you ask me this question, Mr. Lynch? If I remember correctly, we‘re not close enough to be
calling each other brothers.”
Joshua changed his position to a more comfortable posture. He sat on the couch in a kingly manner and stared at
Thomas, who pretended to know nothing. “Do you not know, or are you just pretending that you know nothing? I‘m
sure you remember your mother‘s family name.”
Thomas squinted at this. “I‘m sure my mother‘s family name has nothing to do with you.”
Thomas‘ mother was, in truth, Senior Howard‘s first wife. Back in the old days, Senior Howard was just a poor
young man, while Thomas‘ mother was the second daughter of an affluent, powerful family.

leaving her family and twin sister behind, vouching to never reunite with them again.
At that time, she thought she was set for life as though she was the main character of a romantic drama, having
lowered her status to marry a poor man. She thought she was the type to give up everything just for the name of
love.
As it turned out...it was not what she thought after all.
The love Senior Howard had for her only lasted that long. When she helped Senior Howard become a successful
business in the town, he no longer appreciated this woman who supported him from the ground up.
Even when Thomas‘ mother was the one who funded the business through the money she earned in her spare
time, and even when Thomas‘ mother was the one who helped to earn the first bucket of gold in the business...
Senior Howard thought that it was all his hard work and had nothing to do with the plain–old housewife.
Thus, he chose to desert Thomas‘ mother to gain more benefits for himself.
After that, he married his current wife, the new Mrs. Howard, who was from a family with a powerful background.
At that time, Thomas‘ mother‘s family slowly declined, and her twin sister passed away, too. Since she had severed
all ties from her family, she did not have anyone backing her up or supporting her.
In the end, she was forced to a corner by the new Mrs. Howard where she committed suicide by jumping into the
sea.
Her son, Thomas–the true eldest son of Senior Howard–was then called a child born out of wedlock instead.
Everyone thought his mother was a maid in the household and that he did not have the right to inherit the family‘s
wealth.
Moreover, they thought that was what Thomas thought, too. He was only four or five years old when his mother
passed away. Naturally, they thought that he knew nothing.

In fact...no one knew that Thomas had started to develop memory at that time. He knew and remembered
everything that happened when he was a child. Everything was so vivid that he remembered his mother‘s real
name.
“I followed the investigation‘s result closely, you see. Your mother was a maid working in Senior Howard‘s house
previously. Her family is Levine, am I right?” asked Joshua.
Thomas aneered at Joshua‘s words. ‘Guess the almighty Joshua Lynch isn‘t that formidable after all!
He was expecting more from Joshua, thinking that maybe Joshua could truly get to the truth about his identity, but
he thought wrong,
Joshua Lynch was just an ordinary person like everyone else.
“However...” Just when Thomas had that thought in his mind, Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Thomas with
his deep, dark pupils.
