Chapter 478 The Wilson Family's Taboo
However, in the end, Shirley still couldn't get any useful information from Larry.
"Okay, Larry, if you don't tell me, I'll find it out myself.'
Shirley said stubbornly.
She had always thought that the bankruptcy of the Wilson family was the result of commercial
competition. It was caused by the progress of society. It was not the others' fault.
From the looks of it now, that was not the truth. The story of Larry, the bankruptcy of the Wilson family,
and even the suicide of their parents were not that simple.
"Silly girl, if you want to investigate, then do it. As long as you won't regret it..."
As Larry cooked with ease, he sighed with a complicated expression, "Sometimes, the closer you get
to the truth, the more painful it is.'
"Of course not. Being kept in the dark and being treated like an idiot is the real pain. I am almost thirty
years old and am no longer a naive little girl. Don't think of me as so vulnerable..."
Shirley said with a determined gaze, ' Moreover, I have never been a naive little girl."
The dinner was almost ready, and Shirley suddenly became mysterious.
"Larry, wait for me. I will invite someone to have dinner with us. How about it?"
Larry frowned and was not very happy. He said, "This is the first time we have had dinner together.
Why do we have to invite some unrelated people?"
"No. This person is not unrelated. She is very important to our family. Maybe she can tell us what
happened back then."
"If that's the case, then I would be very happy to have her here. Hurry up."

covered with sculpted reliefs. There was an ancient painting on the wall. Under the soft light, all of them
reflected nobility and elegance.
On the round table, there was a fancy dinner, all of which was cooked by Larry.
He sat in the main seat and looked at his watch from time to time. He seemed a little impatient.
He thought, what's going on? Did Shirley dislike me and find an excuse to run away?
"Someone, go to the ferry to see if Ms. Wilson is back. If there is no one, find a way to bring her back
immediately."
Larry told his men coldly, the lines on his face tight.
Larry was wearing the iconic black and white mask, but even so, it could not stop his perfect lip shape
and lower jawline.
Larry had an extremely handsome face, so much so that even if he grew up in that shabby small
village, he still became very famous.
Even if he did not open the Crimson Pawnshop, he would be able to live a comfortable life with that
face.
Unfortunately, his perfect face was disfigured. The twisted scar extended from the corner of his left eye
to the right corner of his lips. It was like a mark of sin that branded all the good thoughts in his heart.
Shirley was his only hope and his only salvation, so he cared about Shirley.
His men had just walked to the door when they bumped into Shirley and an old woman. They heaved a
sigh of relief.
"Ms. Wilson, you're finally back. If you don't come back, Mr. Wilson will kill someone."
"Kill someone?"
Shirley found it funny and could not connect the cruel Larry with the one that was wearing an apron in
the kitchen. She smiled and said, "Does Larry always overreact?"
"Ms. Wilson, we don't know anything. You will find it out in the future. You should go to the dining hall
now."
Shirley walked to the dining hall and said, "May, be careful of the steps."
May followed closely behind Shirley as if she had never seen such a horrible house. Along the way, the
house really surprised her.
"Ms. Wilson, what is this place? Why does it feel so messy? Everyone looks terrified. Is it dangerous?"
The old woman dragged the corner of Shirley's clothes and asked carefully.
"May, relax. This place is really messy. It was the messiest place in the entire Seatie City. It's chaotic.
But you don't have to worry. We have someone to protect us. No one dares to hurt us."
"Someone is protecting us?"
Just as May was feeling puzzled, Shirley pushed open the wooden door of the dining hall and walked in
with a smile.
"Shirley, you're finally back. Sit down. Let's begin our dinner. The dishes are going to be cold."
The irritable Larry was visibly excited, and his eyes were as gentle as the wind.
However, when he saw May behind Shirley, he frowned with vigilance. "Who is this person?"
One had to know that the Crimson Pawnshop was not a park. Not everyone could come in and take a
look around.
"This is my nanny, May. From the moment our mother married into the Wilson family, she took care of
her. Then, when you and I were born, she had been taking care of me until now. To me, May is like a
mother."
Shirley intimately held May's arm as if she was holding her mother and sincerely introduced her to
Larry.

Larry observed May and then cautiously extended his hand to greet her.
"You ... you are Mr. Larry Wilson?"
May was too shocked and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Although on the way, Shirley had already given her some hints, at this moment, May still felt that it was
unbelievable.
"May, you know my name? Then you should also know why I became an orphan back then, right?"
Larry was extremely excited.
Although his foster mother had always claimed that she had picked him up from the trash, it seemed
that it was definitely not that simple.
Otherwise, his foster mother would not have coincidentally given him his original name.
"Mr. Larry, I can't believe it. Are you really Mr. Larry?"
May's eyes suddenly turned red, filled with tears.
She mustered up her courage and pulled Larry to carefully look at him. She then sobbed, "Back then,
the doctor clearly announced that you were no longer breathing. Your parents were heartbroken. I
didn't expect you to still be alive."
"I seem to remember as well. Previously, Mrs. Haley said that you died because of the umbilical cord."
Shirley had no impression of Larry at all. If not for Mabel, who mentioned it by chance, she wouldn't
have known that she had such a brother.
Because the entire Wilson family was not allowed to talk about this son who had died young.
To the Wilson family, it was a taboo.
"Eh? Actually, Mr. Larry didn't die when he was born. A lot of things happened in between. This was
also the most regretful thing for your parents. They ordered everyone to keep it a secret, so no one
knew what happened back then..."
May let out a long sigh, and her thoughts could not help but return to twenty-eight years ago.
