Bill just got up that morning and he was dressing Noy when he received a call from John.
"Bill, I heard some news about the matter of Caine that you asked me to check."
"Really? What did you find? What happened to him?" Bill immediately made a detailed inquiry.
John smiled narrowly on the other end of the phone: "Well, you are in such a hurry… it was a complicated story, come to the hotpot restaurant with Noy, we need to talk face to face."
"Alright, we will go there."
Bill hung up the phone and he was too excited to continue his motion. Noy, who worn half clothes, looked up at him curiously:
"Daddy, clothes, clothes…"
Bill realized it, he looked at his son whose clothes were piled up on his shoulder and only showed his small brain. He smiled: "My silly son…"
In fact, Noy’s eyebrows and eyes really looked like Caine, especially his big black eyes that were blinking like stars; and his small red mouth slightly pouted, it seemed like Caine when he acted coquettishly.
"Well, I will dress you, after that we will go to the hotpot restaurant, and then let’s ask Uncle Zhao make breakfast for you, how’s that?"
Noy stood on the bed, he was turned over and over by his father at the time he said with a adorable expression: "Okay~!"
After the father and the son got dressed and washed up, they set out. The hotpot restaurant was not far from their residential area so they arrived there soon. There were few customers at that time so the employees were preparing the foods and ingredients in the kitchen, and waiters were busy in cleaning up. They greeted to them one after another when they saw Bill and Noy were coming:
"Good morning, sir!"
"Wow, Noy is coming, come to me and give me a kiss."
Noy already got familiar with them so he was easy to get along with, he left from Bill’s arms and went to play with them.
Bill also greeted to them and then went to the kitchen, he found Cook Zhao, who was responsible for the foods in the kitchen, and then he asked him to make two bowl of rice cake with green vegetables.
"Noy, come here, let’s go and find Dad John. Do not disturb uncles and aunts, they have to work." Bill held Noy who had received numerous kisses again, and then they came to the upstairs to look for John.
John was there as expected; he was sitting in the office and checking the account book. Bill greeted to him:
"Good morning!"
"It’s already over nine o’clock." John complained without mercy, and the he said: "Fortunately, you are the boss, so it doesn’t matter whether you come early or late… Come, Noy, come here."
There was no doubt that Noy ran over with his short legs: "Dad! Dad!"
John Jiang held up Noy with a little distressed look: "He must be like Caine, how could he still not speak ‘Dad John’ after learning for so long? Every time I heard him calling ‘Dad’, I felt like I was an elderly landlord…"
Bill laughed and said: "Exactly! He is a silly boy of the landlord indeed."
John laughed, too. After a while, he said: "With regard to Caine, do you know what the person I entrusted found out?"
The smile on Bill’s face suddenly froze and he finally asked, "What did he find?"
John, holding Noy in his arms, said earnestly, "He said it was Caine’s brother Karl who secretly haunted him with his mean."
"Karl?"
"Yes, it was him. After Garry Huo and his wife passed away, Karl took out Garry’s testament to prove that all property of Garry Huo was belonged to him, including the shares of the company and all immovable property. What’s more, the court predicated that the testament was valid, and then Caine was expelled from the Huo’s family without anything."
Bill heard it and then could not help frowning; he knew that the two brothers of the Huo’s had different personalities. Karl was a shrewd, intelligent and he was the typical "potent CEO" of romance novels. Karl was a child of Garry’s ex-wife and he was not well treated by Garry. However, Caine, who disliked studying and managing company, preferred to call his friends to enjoy car racing, dining together and travelling all day. He was a typical good-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family, but he was more innocent than Karl, he did not have intention and always said sweet words. Moreover, he was the son of Garry’s current wife, so he received more favor from their family.
After Garry’s death, it was not surprising that the two brothers under one roof of the Huo’s became discordant.
But in any case, Caine was also of great family origin. Even though he did not inherit his father’s legacy, should his mother’s legacy be there? No matter how terrible the situation he met, the houses and cars he owned... weren’t they worth a lot of money? How did he come to live in another city and work as a coolie?
Bill told John his thoughts, and John laughed sarcastically.
"Bill, do not underestimate Karl. He did not only want all property of the Huo’s; but he also wanted to kill his younger brother!"
Bill looked at him with astonishment.
"Caine hadn’t gone bankrupt since he was robbed of all his inheritance, but do you think it would be his willing? He appealed to the court, but it didn’t work out. And then he decided to use artifices secretly, however, he made friends carelessly and one of his friend brought him to the casino. His friend was bribed by Karl already, so he defrauded Caine with the casino. Caine won eight million dollars at first, then he became aware of the benefits and started to keep betting on it until he gambled away all his fortune, even the two cars of him were mortgaged…"
Bill’s heart seemed to sink into the bottom of the lake after heard that, he felt cold and breathless.
John also felt sympathy for Caine, he signed and said: "Karl did not leave him a way to live. No one had offered him another hand since Caine was out of his pocket. All his friends and followers turned their back on the old relationship. Even if there was someone else, they were afraid of Karl and did not dare to offend him. So Caine had to find a job by himself, but he could not find any job, you know? There was no one who dared to employ him in large company, even if he found a job in a small company, he would be dismissed in a few days. Afterwards, he lowered his stature to serve as a waiter but there were local hooligans to trouble him, thus no one was willing to hire him. Later on, Karl said that as long as he left S City, he would not get off his back anymore… Since then Caine came here."
Bill only felt that his heart was severely strangled by someone after heard those words. If Caine was a rich second generation who took advantage of his power to bully people, it would be a retribution that he was punished like this. But he knew that Caine was not a villain, he was just a spoiled child by his family and did not know the sufferings of the world…Wasn’t it already painful for him to lose his parents at that time? Why Karl treated him ruthlessly…
Ordinary people who were used to driving cars to work might felt uncomfortable if they had to take the subway suddenly. After all, it was difficult to experience from extravagance to frugality. What kind of pain and despair would be for Caine, from a high-ranking, luxurious, and wealthy family suddenly fell into the dilemma and then became a person despised by everyone?
He dared not think further.
John looked at Bill with his head lowered down; he caught a glimpse of his hand on the desk clenched tightly into fist… He said: "I will support you in any way; I also think what Karl did was excessive…Moreover, Caine had taken care of you somehow, and we should help him, so as to save some people from saying that how we ungrateful."
Bill heard it then nodded slowly.
He knew that John had a sharp tongue but a tender heart… and, even if John objected, he would go to Caine’s side without hesitation. After all, he still liked Caine.
Moreover, he was Noy’s biological father.
