Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 2799

The atmosphere of the car became dead silent as Sean spoke his mind. There was only smoke and silence filling up the closed space. After a while, Denise looked at Sean with a bitter smile. “Did Nigel tell you all of that?” “Half from him, and half from my own doing,” Sean answered. Denise frowned and did not understand. “You found out by yourself? You‘re from Merchant City and are not related to anything here in Saigen City. Why do you want to investigate my family?”

Sean curled up his lips and took a huge puff of his cigarette. “Yes, neither my family nor my friends are related to Saigen City. This is also my first time here, and your family has nothing to do with me either. But...”

He looked to the side at Denise with his bright eyes. “Not long ago, I joined a gang in Merchant City. Every brother in the gang treated me very nicely, and they were very willing to accept me as one of them. However, there is a scar in their hearts that they can‘t heal.” Upon rolling down the window, the breeze blew into the car and dispersed the smoke in the car. “More than three months ago, they lost their leader, and his seat would always be empty every time a meeting came up. At every gathering, they‘d also prepare another set of cutleries. This is an unspoken way for them to remember their leader. It also pains me to see it, so I think I should do something for them.” Once he finished, he raised his brow and looked at Denise. “Do you understand it now?” Denise kept quiet for the longest time. Finally, she bit her lip. “The leader that you‘re talking about... Is it Luke?”

All this while, she had been kept in the dark. She did not know about Luke and had always thought her brother was awakened from a vegetative state. Her par secret from her, too. It was until yesterday that she realized Luke was another brother of hers. The brother that she was looking at was the other twin brother.

That was why she would spend time getting to know Luke. However, the information she gathered was the information that was available on the internet; a gang leader who dominated Sea City and Merchant City. She thought these kinds of gang leaders were no different from the gangsters she often saw on the street.

Now that she heard Sean talk and reminisce about Luke with respect and nostalgia, she realized she was narrow–minded.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, “This Luke... What was he like?”

“He has a charming and unique personality.” Sean took the last puff and threw the cigarette butt out the window. “Let‘s go.” Only then did Denise regain her senses. She smiled embarrassingly and started the car engine. On the way to the mansion, she could not help but ask about Luke.

“After Luke passed away, did the gang elect a new leader?”

“No.” Sean squinted and looked ahead. “They‘re waiting for him to go back.”

To others, he was here in Saigen City to help Joshua and Luna to look after Riley to ease their burden, but the truth was…

“Sean, we admire your bravery and courage, but you’re not qualified to be our boss.”

“What if I can get Luke’s information?” Sean asked.

“If you can find our boss, we’ll admit and let you be our second–in–charge. If the boss himself says that he no longer wants to be our boss, then you’ll be our boss in the future.”

The words from the person in charge of the gang kept lingering in Sean’s mind after he departed from Merchant City.

He closed his eyes silently. He knew that even though he shared the blood from the Lynch family, his childhood and younger years had decided his path. He could never be a successful businessman that everyone envied like Joshua or Jim. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

However…

If he could achieve what Luke had achieved, that was another type of success, was it not?
