Matthew immediately stubbed out his cigarette.

The door slowly opened, and a little head stuck out. It was Colman. He looked at Matthew and asked, "Dad, can I come in?"

“Wait." Matthew walked to the window and opened it to dissipate the smoke before Letting Colman in.

Before he could say anything, the little boy pointed at the photos on his computer and asked innocently, “Dad, aren't those photos taken by

Mom?"

He looked at him and nodded.

Pointing at the little girl in the first collection of photos, Colman said, "We all know Mom's works. Although we weren't born yet when she took pictures of this little girl, it was Aunt Tessie who told us. This little girl's name is Vera. When Mom found out that her mother was abusing her, she reported it to the police. And before she left, she even gave some money to this Little girl."

"Money?' Matthew pondered. 'Rika might have given the money she got in

Cass to this little girl.’

Colman turned to the second collection and explained while Matthew listened silently.

"I know this too. Mom said that she took these photos from the nearby nursing home two months after we were born. Aunt

Tessie said that when Mom exposed his wrongdoings, the director of the nursing home wanted to take revenge on Mom, so he sent some people to smash our home. They even tried to take us away, but Mom scared them with a knife."

“A Knife?' Matthew thought while clenching his right hand into a fist.

But he continued to listen carefully to Colman's explanation.

"In this third collection, Mom called the police after she has gotten all the evidence to save those poor women and children. Look at this picture, Dad. Mom took a picture of a disabled mother carrying her dying son on her back while crawling out of the house for help.”

When Colman finished explaining the story behind all the photos he saw, he added, “Mom still has a lot of photos that haven't been released.

She was afraid that we would be implicated, so she secretly burned many of them."

Matthew touched the little boy's head and asked, “How did your mom raise you?"

“Mom took pictures for people in the village, and they paid her. She could also get money from winning in all kinds of competitions and tasks. But most of our Living expenses were supported by Aunt Chantel.

She regularly sent us money more than enough to aid us. However, Mom likes doing charity works. She always wants to help poor people. She also invested a lot in photography, so she always used up the money from Aunt Chantel quickly." Colman told Matthew everything he knew.

“Chantel?" Surprise was written all over his face when he asked the little boy for confirmation.

"Yes. Aunt Chantel is awesome!" As an innocent child, Colman didn't know the matters between adults. In his eyes, his father was a great man, so he told him everything he knew.

Matthew was rendered speechless. He didn't expect that Chantel knew where Erica was all these years.

It was all Gifford's fault. He and Chantel hadn't seen each other for years because they were both busy in their careers. Wesley and Blair were the ones who took care of Hugo. The couple would only go back and accompany their son whenever they were free.

If Gifford had paid even just a little attention to Chantel, he would definitely found out something about Erica.
