My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again

Chapter 146

"Hiss. You're too ruthless," Lucas said as he inspected himself in the nvirror,

Looking at his handsome face that had been beaten black and blue, he bared his teeth and glanced at Pearl plaintively

Pearl did not feel guilty at all but regretted not hitting Lucas harder instead.

"You asked for a beating. Who can you blame?" Pearl retorted.

Pearl's heart ached for the calligraphy and paintings on the wall that were almost destroyed. These were much more valuable than Lucas's life.

Lucas knew that he would not be able to get anything from Pearl However, he did not expect his charm to not be of any use at all here. Pearl would not even lend him a child.

Lucas put a band-aid on his disfigured cheek and frowned in pain.

"I was just thinking that since you have five half-brothers with the same mother and different fathers, you definitely won't reject this type of Who knew that you would be so offended about that... Lucas said.

Before Lucas could finish, Pearl interrupted him stoically, "Other than you and Marc, does anyone else know that I have five elder brothers?"

request.

"I don't know. There shouldn't be anyone else. Please, your bio is so difficult to decrypt. I can't even decrypt it, let alone others. Lucas replied as he glanced at Pearl.

Seeing the murderous intent in her eyes, Lucas subconsciously tensed up and became vigilant as he asked, "Don't tell me you want to o silence me?" "I would be lying if I said I don't have such intention, Pearl responded. "After all, those who know this secret are basically all dead now. Even if I let you go, my five brothers won't allow it. So, Lucas, you'd better be careful when you walk out in the streets at night."

If Lucas was still smiling cheekily just now, his mood could not help but become heavy after hearing these words. He began to fear for his life.

Lucas did not want to accomparry Marc to investigate partly because his hacking skills were not as good as Pearl's. The more he delved, the more shocked he became at the information he unraveled.

The fact that Pearl had five older brothers with different surnames was shocking enough.

They only knew the identities of four of the five brothers

Quentin was the Crown Prince of the Quarks Sect.

Henry Shaw was a critically acclaimed celebrity,

a

Noah was an internationally renowned doctor

Hubert was a top hacker.

There was also the mysterious Oliver, whom they had yet to find out more about

These people were all either well-to-do or well-respected. They were all top figures in various industries. These seemingly unrelated people were biological siblings

Lucas and Marc were shocked when they saw the file. The

file. They felt that Mrs. Woolery was not an ordinary person

However, Mrs. Woolery was even more mysterious. Her background and identity were all a mystery. She was as low-profile as Ken was high-profile when he was still alive. She never showed her face in public, but she was part of the reason why the Woolery Group was successful.

From all indications, Mrs. Woolery did not look like someone who had been married six times and given birth to six children. Therefore, they guessed that it might be because of the eggs she donated that Pearl had five brothers with different surnames, However, there was another question that Lucas could not figure out

If men could not procreate or did not want to get married and only wanted to reproduce, they might accept egg donations. However, according to

thear understanding, that was not the case,

They did not know much about Henry and Noah's biological extended family. However, the Quarks family offspring. They could not have all been created through "special" methods.

I the Law family had many male

Pearl was expressionless as she listened to Lucas's analysis. Her expression was turning increasingly stole by the minute. "Are you done! Fnafraid you're bored. You're so interested in other people's business. Don't you know that curiosity

to yourself. Also, advise your brother not to push by buttons.

Ti neither a good-tempercil person or a good person. My brothers certainly aren't either," Pearl added. "Ill take what happened today as you spouting nonsense. If you walk through this door, everything will be forgiven. Don't mention this to anyone ever again. I don't want to be your eniny, so don't force mem".

Loafer in his tracks when he saw Trails are and heard her words. It was as if he could not move at all.

Only then slid he realize that she was really angry

Marc entered the study and stood in front of Bronke's desk.

Brooke did not hide his disinterest in talking to Marc and said aggressively, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Hurry up and get out you're done."

"Grandfather,

1, do you have any relationship with Master Marlene?" Mare asked.

not want to annoy Brooke, so he directly stated his intentions.

Mare did not want to

Brooke was not surprised by Marc's question. He asked, "You want to work with Master Marlene?

"Yes. The batch of products Males Jewelry was planning to launch is still in storage and hasn't been made available in the market yet. I think if I can get the backing of Master Marlene, even if she was merely lending her name, it might be able to he listed again. Brooke shook his head. "I'm afraid it's very difficult. Based on my understanding, Master Marlene has always been elusive. Even I'm surprised that she chose to collaborate with Woolery Jewelry

Mare frowned as he said, "Are you saying that perhaps Master Marlene is a smokescreen created by Woolery Jewelry?"

"We can't rule out the possibility. After all, Master Marlene has not appeared in public, Brooke replied.

Mare thought about it and asked, "Have you seen Master Marlene when she was young?"

"The old curator told you, didn't he? What a loose mouth he is Brooke commented as he pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. "I've seen her before, but it was many years ago. Besides, Marlene was still a little girl back then. She hadn't even grown up. She must look different now."

"I heard from Mr. Miller that you have two pieces of Master Marlene's work here. Can you let me take a look?" Marc asked.

For some reason, Mare lud a vague premonition.

Master Marlene and he had an indescribable fate, which made him feel that they would eventually meet.

Brooke frowned. There was an indescribable emotion between his brows

"I did collect it, but the company's funds were not operating well a few years ago. Your third uncle failed in his investment and owed him a lot of money. He begged me. I had no choice but to sell them, Brooke lamented. Mare's heart skipped a bear as he asked, "You sold Master Marlene's work?"

"Master Marlene's works have always been priceless. Not only are they collectible, but they grow in value too. I couldn't bear to part with them. After all, they had their eyes on Master Marlene's works. Brooke felt helpless about this. Now that he thought about it, his heart ached.

Marc was disappointed. It seemed that he would have to return empty-handed again.

"However, as far as I know, the buyer hack then had yet to sell it. Now that Master Marlene's popularity is so high, the price is probably several times more expensive than back then, Brooke added. Marc's eyes lit up as he asked, "Who bought ir

"A well-known collector in Link City Brooke said as he searched through the drawer and found a business card. He handed it to his

grandson

Marc took it and looked at the address on it. He thanked Brooke and was about to leave when he turned around and saw his mother.
