100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 810  His Role in the Revenge Plot

Day Eighty-Five…

~~*****~~

Nathan returned to the living room together with Ethan and Butler Li. He let Axel and the guards wait outside. He would try to talk to Butler Li with the help of Ethan. When the three of them settled down, Nathan started his interrogation with Butler Li.

"What is your role in this plot, Butler Li?" Nathan questioned him while looking into his eyes.

Ethan held Butler Li's hand. "Please, Uncle Li. Tell us everything." The young boy urged him.

Butler Li heaved a deep sigh. "Alright. I'll talk."

"I first approached the Sparks Family when I heard about my elder sister liking Master Xu. She asked me to search for him and get more information about your family. At that time, I only wished for my sister to be happy." Butler Li admitted, recollecting his past memories.

"But things got worse when Master Xu denied my sister and didn't accept my nephew. My sister was obsessed with him. She got crazy for the rejection. Vincent had been neglected. And that was the time I swore to him… I would help him with his revenge."

"I didn't wish to kill anyone…" Butler Li glanced at Ethan, asking him to believe him.

"Vincent was so jealous of you, Nathan. And because of that, he aimed to take everything away from you." Butler Li paused for a moment as he gazed at Nathan. "It was me… who helped Vincent steal your identity as Sizzling August."

Nathan was dumbfounded when he heard that.

"One night, I entered your room and installed an app on your laptop. Vincent learned about Shining Star. He hacked your account. And he saw your messages with her. Thinking that Shining Star was so special to you, he used that opportunity to make Monica part of your life."

"He also acted as Sizzling August while Monica stole the identity of your virtual friend, Shining Star."

Nathan clenched his fists upon hearing that. This made sense. That was the only explanation why Monica and Vincent knew his story with Phantomflake. And because of his friendship with Phantomflake, she got involved in this mess. Vincent and Monica made Jane's life miserable because of Nathan.

Nathan wanted to blame himself. Jane suffered because of him. He failed to protect him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Do you know who is Ethan's biological mother?" Nathan asked.

Ethan looked at Butler Li expectantly, waiting for his response. He wanted to know the truth.

"I don't know. But one thing is for sure… Monica is not Ethan's biological mother. Chairman Xu was about to figure it out that's why, Monica asked me to steal the DNA samples." Butler Li was now confessing what he knew.

"Is it Helena?" Nathan murmured. "Did they use a stand-in?"

Butler Li nodded. "I think so. Monica is only loyal to my nephew. She won't sleep with you, Nate. Since Vincent hated you, Monica also harbored strong resentment toward you. She was the one who volunteered to help him with his revenge against you."

"For the past few years… I've been Vincent's eyes inside this mansion. But I… I never expected that serving the Sparks Family for more than two decades, I slowly became attached to this family."

"I'm so sorry. Nothing can justify my actions. So I will accept whatever punishment you will give me." Butler Li didn't want to resist. He already accepted his fate. Being a traitor was unforgivable. He made Nathan suffer. He deceived the Sparks Family.

Both Nathan and Ethan were silent, trying to analyze and process Butler Li's revelation.

Butler Li smiled bitterly. "Honestly, I'm tired of this. I just want my nephew to find his true happiness. Deep inside, I'm hoping that someone could change my Nephew's mind so that he could just forget about this revenge."

"Maybe… Jane is the answer to my wish," he added.

Ethan immediately reacted at the mention of Jane's name. "No! Mommy Jane can't be with Uncle Vincent. They won't be happy together because she doesn't love him. Mommy Jane loves my father."

Butler Li smiled at Ethan apologetically. "It's not about Jane's feelings. But it's her choice to be with Vincent. I'll tell you this." Butler Li made a dramatic pause when he recollected his latest conversation with Vincent.

"Jane asked Vincent to forget about his revenge and stop bothering the Sparks Family, in exchange, she would marry him and live with him abroad together with Mia."

Nathan's expression turned ashen upon hearing that. Jane made sacrifices just for his sake. But he didn't want any of this. He preferred to fight Vincent with all his resources, instead of giving her up. But Jane was the one who let him go.

"Nate… just forget about Jane. Just allow Vincent to be happy with her. This is the only way to keep the peace in this mansion." Butler Li pleaded.

"As much as I want to take her back, Jane has already made up her mind." Nathan clenched his fists tightly. He felt useless and desperate.

Ethan just took a deep sigh upon hearing his father's sentiments. "Dad, don't worry. Mommy Jane will come back to us. Just have faith. She will find her way back to us. I am betting my life on this."

Both Nathan and Butler Li glanced at Ethan with amusement. He was confident with his words as if the young boy was certain that Jane would come back no matter what.

"Uncle Li, thank you for being honest with us. I know you are a good man. Despite everything, I can't hate you. You are part of my family." Ethan softly mumbled, his eyes filled with sincerity.

Butler Li was speechless. He was touched by Ethan's words.

"But Ethan, I still need to detain Butler Li. I can't forgive him right now." Nathan also expressed his feelings.

"But father–"

"No buts. Just listen to me," Nathan firmly said.

Meanwhile, Butler Li nodded as he understood Nathan. "Nathan… I'm so sorry for everything. I'll make another confession. It's about your Dad. He is not in a coma. It was me who secretly injected him to keep him unconscious."

Nathan narrowed his eyes on him. "Why did you do that?"

"Because Old Man Xu heard Monica's confession that she is not Ethan's biological mother. Since I stopped injecting him, he would eventually wake up soon."

"Uncle Li, did you ever think of harming us for all these years?" Ethan asked him earnestly, hoping to hear a sincere answer.

Butler Li shook his head. "No. I hate violence. I will never use force to harm any of you. I'm only here for information, a spy, not an instrument to kill a person." He reassured Ethan. He couldn't bring himself to hurt the young master. He had become attached to them.

Ethan hugged Butler Li, sobbing. "Butler Li… I don't want to lose you. Can you please keep working here?"

Butler Li sighed deeply. "Things would never be the same anymore, young master Ethan. I like this family, but I have my obligations. I'm Vincent's only relative. I will still choose to support him no matter what happens to me." Butler Li said with conviction.

"It's fine. You can be loyal to Vincent, but you have to stay away from my family." Nathan had contradicting thoughts with his son, Ethan.

"Axel! We are done talking here. Go and detain Butler Li at our facility." Nathan gave Axel his command. Butler Li wouldn't be spared today. He needed to be punished.
