Chapter 392
Ethan left the room after more than ten minutes.

Victoria remained on the couch silently after he had gone. It would be surprising if Bane
had turned out normal after what had happened. As it turned out, Mrs. Morison hadn’t
just killed herself but had become insane before she did, chattering nonsense and even
harming her own son. Bane had been scolded and abused by her, suffering countless
injuries as a result. However, he hadn’t retaliated nor made light of it probably because
he pitied his mother for ending up like this at such a young age.
It had been Old Mr. Morison who eventually discovered this and rescued Bane. She had
committed suicide the day that Old Mr. Morison took him away, which resulted in an
uproar within the family. Old Mr. Morison wasn’t like Bane’s father in that the former
maintained a rigid household and put his morals first, so he immediately rescinded
Bane’s father’s power and made Bane the next successor to the Morisons‘ family
business.
Old Mr. Morison had wanted to get rid of the heavily pregnant mistress who had
wanted to marry into the family, but he didn’t do so because of her condition. Instead,
he had taken her away for a paternity test and only allowed her to remain after he knew
the child was a Morison.

Meanwhile, Bane didn’t have anyone to comfort him after being traumatized by his
family experiences and his mother but had to face continuous training as the family
successor. He was soon an extremely suitable successor, but his heart had become
stone cold as well.

The reason Ethan had thought Bane to be mad all stemmed from the mistress who had
given birth to a daughter. Since she couldn’t get a son during her first attempt, she
refused to give up and tried to get pregnant again afterward.
After succeeding, she had tried to show off in front of Bane, yet her young daughter
hadn’t known anything at all. The girl treated him as a close relative after seeing him
daily and wanted hugs from Bane. The girl had been several years old by then and
spread her arms toward him while standing beside him. Bane had then looked down at
her and studied her face before kneeling in front of her.
“B–bane. Hug me.”
There was a smile lingering at his mouth as he stroked her face with his finger. “Who
asked you to call me that?”
“Bane!”
“Who asked you to call me that?” Bane asked again after getting no reply.

However, the girl couldn’t answer him at all. Bane smiled slightly, though his voice was
freezing. “Is this the useless piece of rubbish she has worked so hard to give birth to?
She’s several years old already but cannot understand a simple question.”
Ethan had stood behind Bane and didn’t know how to answer that since it was far too
awkward. Ethan had wanted to say that Bane shouldn’t expect too much from a small
child. Had it been his biological sister, would Bane call her useless?
It hadn’t been serious at that point since the attack had been verbal, but soon the girl
had snuck into Bane’s arms to demand a hug. However, he had emotionlessly pushed
her away and caused her to fall to the ground. The child was too young and only knew
that it hurt, but the only way she knew how to express it was by crying.
The Morison genes were extremely prominent. Even though she had been birthed by
the mistress, the girl bore no resemblance to her mother at all and looked a lot like
Bane’s father. That meant that the girl’s eyes looked similar to Bane’s. No one would
have suspected anything from their appearances if the two of them were claimed to be
biological siblings.
After the child had burst into tears, Bane knelt there and watched the child sob as if
watching a performance. The sounds of a child crying should have been annoying, yet
he had looked as if he was enjoying a beautiful melody. When he had had enough, he
asked someone to cover the child’s mouth and drag her away. The child never came to

look for him after that.
It was this occurrence which made Ethan think that Bane had a psychopathic
inclination. At the very least, Bane wasn’t normal in terms of his mental health. Bane
should visit a psychiatrist, but Ethan did not dare bring it up for fear that he would be
targeted as well.
Victoria still didn’t understand what Bane was thinking. Had he put her under house
arrest just because he fancied her, or because he couldn’t stand the thought of her
being ripped away from him?
At that thought, she massaged the spot between her eyebrows. If Bane truly had
mental issues, then the entire thing had become slightly complicated.

She remained in her room for a while before going off to find her children and
accompany them. Soon, the butler came to see her. He informed her that the kitchen
had prepared some pre–meal desserts and invited them to go downstairs to enjoy the
food.
She paused and did not accept it, instead asking the butler, “Where’s Bane? I want to
see him.”
“Uh… Mr. Morison has gone out on business.”

Victoria noted a strange look flashing across his face when she asked the question and
instantly became alert. “What sort of business?”
However, Donald had already reoriented himself. “Miss Selwyn, I’m not so clear on the
details. I’m merely his butler and don’t know anything regarding his personal schedule.”
How could she ever believe that Bane’s butler didn’t know his schedule?
She sneered internally before replying, “Fine. It’s okay if you don’t know his schedule.”
The butler reminded her, “Miss Selwyn? What about dessert?”
“We don’t want it since we’re not hungry. You don’t have to summon us for the main.
meal either.”
The butler didn’t know what to say, sensing that something had offended her during
their conversation. However, he couldn’t say anything about it and so excused himself.
When the door had closed, Nicole immediately clung to Victoria’s waist, causing the
latter to look down in amusement. “What’s wrong? Don’t you love dessert? Why didn’t
you say anything?”
Nicole pouted as she muttered, “Mr. Bane is so fierce toward you. I don’t want to like

him anymore.”
Victoria paused. “How did you know?”

“I was crying because I wanted to go back and find you, but he didn’t let me. He’s a bad
person!”
Bad person.
The words stung at Victoria’s heart. Bane should have been someone deemed trusted
and reliable by the children, but he had become a bad person just like that. She didn’t
want her relationship with Bane to end up falling apart if she could help it.
“Mummy, can we not stay with Mr. Bane anymore? I want to go find Mr. Night.”
She pursed her lips and hugged her other child before saying softly, “Alright. I’ll find a
way to bring you to see Mr. Night.”
She didn’t know if Summer had helped her make contact with Alaric. Did he figure out
what happened to me and the children?
