Chapter 538: The Owner Of This Island Is Your Mother

Joshua’s pupils shrunk slightly.

Joshua recognized the man before he came near.

It should be Ted King who was walking.

He should be over fifty, but there was no trace of age on his face. He still looked very young, tall, and handsome. There was no youthful sharpness in him, but his whole person seemed very unfathomable.

Moreover, Ted’s face looked so much like his.

No wonder Simon was so shocked when he saw Joshua for the first time and even ran after him so quickly. Just looking at his face was really enough to determine the relationship between him and Ted.

“Idiot!” Ted snapped. “Who allowed you to check Joshua?! Didn’t I tell you that you mustn’t stop any of today’s visitors?”

Joshua looked at him coldly. Ted showed up after the security check, which, in Joshua’s eyes, was indescribable hypocrisy.

The few men hurried to lower their heads, not daring to defend themselves.

“Joshua…” Ted looked at him, his eyes a little more complicated, and then he explained, “my men are too rigid and inflexible. It must have been because you reached half an hour early, so they didn’t know it was you.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Joshua said indifferently. “If I were you, I would not just have asked the other party to go through security but also asked him to take off his clothes to be checked.”

Ted paled slightly.

There was a hint of unapproachable distance and defensiveness in Joshua’s statement.

“Come on, let’s get on the island first,” Ted said no more. He turned and headed for the island.

Joshua followed him with an indifferent face.

The scenery on the island was very beautiful, but neither Ted nor Joshua was in the mood to enjoy it.

Joshua looked at Ted’s back, his eyes as cold as ice. How on earth could such a heartless man deliberately get close to him immediately after seeing him?

“Do you know the name of this island?” Ted asked suddenly.

“I don’t know,” Joshua replied.

This island was a private island, and it was located in the international waters, not under the jurisdiction of Country Z. Besides, Ted had put tight security on this island, so few people knew this island.

“Stacy Island,” Ted whispered, with a trace of imperceptible softness in his voice.

Joshua’s face froze slightly, but then anger rose in his heart.

Soon, however, he managed to suppress the anger.

Now was not the right timing.

“The owner of this island is Stacy Sloane, your mother.” Ted’s eyes dimmed. He had originally given the island to Stacy, but unfortunately, while things might remain the same, people did not.

Joshua looked coldly at the man in front of him, who kept walking, and felt that Ted was more and more unfathomable.

Finally, the two men stopped at a gravestone.

A line of words was engraved on it: “Tomb Of My Beloved Wife Stacy Sloane.”

Joshua’s eyes fell, and the trace of anger he had suppressed rose again and even burned like a flame.

“This is Stacy’s tomb,” Ted spoke quietly.

Joshua’s anger could no longer be suppressed!

What was Ted King doing?

Because of him, Stacy lost everything, was even separated from her son, and suffered from mental illness for more than 20 years. But Ted put up a tomb here? Who did he show affection to?!!!

Ted’s behavior just made Joshua very sick!

Joshua’s fingers tightened as he really wanted to beat up the man next to him!

Trying hard to hold back his anger, Joshua finally lightly said, “Mm.”

His performance made Ted a little disappointed.

“Joshua, let’s talk,” Ted said slowly.

“Fine.” Joshua said lightly, “but I don’t want our conversation to be overheard by a third person.”

All of a sudden, Ted laughed, and a profound light flashed in his eye. Such a smile made Joshua’s heart slightly tense.

The man in front of him really made him very angry, but he didn’t get carried away by the anger. The angrier he was, the more he valued Ted.

He thought he had keen eyesight, but he couldn’t see through Ted. The ambitious, powerful person who once turned the tide now gave people the feeling that he had no desire. But Joshua always felt an invisible pressure from Ted.

“Come with me.” Ted didn’t say much. He took Joshua to his villa on the island.

They went straight to the study, and all the bodyguards and servants were ordered not to go near it.

***

On the shore of Country Z, Simon had arranged for all the people to guard the harbor, and no boats were allowed to sail.

“Young master, there is news from the island that Joshua has landed there,” Chester reported to him.

“Mmm,” Simon nodded, “I see.”

“Then… shall we go and help him?” Chester asked as a feeler.

“Support what?!” Simon hit him hard on the head. “Chester, Chester, I really don’t know what you’re actually a traitor! After staying with me for so long, you are actually trying to help Joshua?”

“No, it’s not that, young master,” Chester explained with a wounded face. “I’m just worried that something may go wrong on the island...”

“What can go wrong?” Simon gave out a sneer, with a hint of frustration on his face. “Joshua can uproot all the forces hidden by the old man in Country Z in such a short time and rob me of the woman I like. Do you really think he is good-for-nothing?”

Chester was very speechless. There seemed to be no connection between the two things?! Besides, how could the young master say it was Joshua who robbed him of his woman. It was the young master who tried to rob Joshua of his woman but failed!

But Chester didn’t dare speak his mind at all. If he did, he would definitely be beaten up.

Simon’s eyes grew darker, but his expression grew grave. “We have been undercover on the island. Joshua also knows the detailed division of forces on the island. The old man’s helpers have been cut off from him, and the organization has been taken over by me. Now I guard the harbor and forbid anyone to support the old man. I really can’t imagine what kind of accident could happen!”

All aspects had been taken into consideration, and they had eliminated all the risks. It could be said that this was a war that they would definitely win, but somehow Simon was very upset in the heart.

For some reason, he felt an accident would happen.

Chester answered the phone, and suddenly his face turned pale.

“Young master, not good!” Chester said hurriedly, “There’s news from the harbor that Miss Crowe gets there and wants to go to sea!”

“What?!” Simon’s face paled instantly, and he became extremely irritated. “Why does Hazel come here now?!”
