Chapter 761 Father and Son

"By chance, Umberto's father met the boss's wife at the company's cocktail party, a lady who came to Hailan for vacation."

"This lady comes from a noble family in Avalon. She is beautiful, rich, and passionate."

"Umberto's father is the tallest and handsome middle-level employee in the company. He is a typical handsome, romantic and passionate man. Compared with him, the boss is a typical cold, old-fashioned and uninterested Fizhen man. "

"You can guess what happened next without me telling you. Umberto's father cheated on his boss's wife."

"At first, maybe he was just having fun, but he didn't expect that the noble lady from Feizhen was a ruthless character. She forced her husband to divorce her and got most of the family property through litigation."

"After that, the lady gave her lover an ultimatum: either abandon his wife and children and marry her, or pack up and leave the company, and don't even think about being in the business world in the future."

"Umberto's father... just like the stereotype of a sea-blue man, he was not a man of great backbone and he gave in quickly."

"In order to please the noble lady, he cruelly abandoned his first wife and young son, and followed his new love to Avalon to develop his career."

"Umberto's mother, a poor little woman, could not accept the cruel reality, so she took her son across the ocean and came to Avalon to find the heartless man."

"It was not easy to find a husband, but the other party treated the mother and son as indifferently as strangers, leaving them to endure hunger and cold in a rented house in the slums of Pattus Street and fend for themselves."

"Umberto's mother was deeply affected and died in despair less than two years after arriving in Avalon."

"Umberto was less than ten years old at the time, so he had to live alone in the slums. At a young age, he embarked on the degrading path of making a living by joining a gang."

"Poor Umberto will never forget the tragic night when his mother stopped breathing on the hospital bed, and he will never forget the fact that he sold his only cotton coat in the middle of the winter just to get some money to bury his mother..."

Speaking of this, Claire's eye circles turned slightly red.

"Umberto was determined to sever ties with his father, and at the same time he did not want to implicate his father, who was already in the upper class, and bring shame to his new respectable family because of his illegal activities, so he changed his surname to 'Aegis. Sposito'.

Gao Fei nodded knowingly.

In the sea-blue language, the word "Esposito" means "exposed on the street."

Many orphans who were abandoned by their parents at birth were adopted by churches or orphanages. Since they did not know their original surname, they were named Esposito. To put it bluntly, they were children picked up on the street.

"For many years after that, Umberto's biological father never visited his son once. Until three years ago, his second wife died of illness and his business encountered a bottleneck. He decided to give up his career in Avalon and return to Hometown development.”

Claire continues to tell Umberto's life story.

"On the eve of returning to China, the old man came to Patus Street for the first time in more than ten years to look for his son and asked Umberto if he wanted to go back to Hailan with him."

"Umberto flatly refused his father's invitation."

"Firstly, it was out of resentment towards his father, and secondly, because his father had re-established a family and had a half-brother, and Umberto did not want to destroy his father's new family."

"After the old man returned to Hailan, his business grew bigger and bigger. As his wealth increased, he seemed to have finally found his conscience. He often wrote letters to his eldest son and sent money and gifts to Umberto. At the end of each letter, he always advised Umberto to Returning to his hometown, father and son are reunited."

"Umberto refused to go to Hailan to meet his father. Instead of being a rich second generation sitting back and enjoying his success, he seemed to enjoy his current life more."

"Part of the money sent by my father was used to renovate the cemetery of my late mother, which is regarded as repaying the debt owed by my father."

"Umberto gave all the rest of the money to the poor and kept not a cent for himself."

"The old man knows that Umberto likes famous wines. Every year when new wines from major wineries come on the market, he will send a batch to his son."

"Umberto never drank the wine sent by his father. He kept it on the wine cabinet and used it to entertain his friends and gang brothers."

Claire pointed to the wine cabinet behind her.

"Musk, Lisa, now you know why I want to treat you to such expensive red wine, right?"

"What a wonderful and sad story."

Gao Fei picked up the wine glass with a complicated mood.

"Let us drink to brother Umberto, and hope that he can get out of the shadow of an abandoned childhood as soon as possible and untie his knot."

Just as the three of them were clinking glasses, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Mario Ricardo ran in furiously.

"Hey! Good evening, brother Musk! Miss Lisa! Claire, do you know where the boss went?"

"Brother Umberto is at the Savoy Hotel. Captain Dantès invited him to dinner. You are in a hurry to find him. Is there something urgent?" Claire asked.

"Well, since the boss isn't here, there's no point in worrying. Let's just talk while drinking."

Mario sat down next to Goofy, took the red wine from the red-haired girl, and drank it in one gulp.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Mario burped with satisfaction.

"Your crude way of drinking is such a waste of good wine."

Claire scolded Mario angrily, and then poured him another glass of wine.

Mario angrily changed to a polite drinking method, holding the goblet and asked Goofy: "Brother Musk, do you still remember that ogre?"

"What ogre?"

This nonsensical question confused Gao Fei.

"Oh, no wonder you can't remember, that happened more than half a year ago." Mario shrugged helplessly.

In this game module, half a year is not a long time span. Have you ever encountered an ogre during this period?

Gao Fei recalled it for a while and quickly remembered it.

"Mr. Mario, do you mean the ogre who was fighting in the ring that evening six months ago when I came to the Paradise Tavern for a party?"

"That's right! It's that stupid big guy!"

Mario smiled and nodded.

"At that time, several young men in our gang took turns to challenge the ogre, but they were all beaten to the ground by him."

"Later, you kid took the initiative to challenge on stage. Claire and I thought you were seeking death, and we advised you not to make fun of your own life."

"Only Brother Umberto could tell at a glance that your strength was far superior to that of the ogre. Not only did he allow you to compete on stage, but he also placed a heavy bet on you. As a result, you actually defeated the ogre!"
