The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 575: FINDING OUT THE TRUTH (II)

CASEY felt like his head was about to explode. He couldn’t comprehend the things the duke was saying. He understood the words one by one, but when combined together, it felt like he was hearing some alien language.

Emmy was alive and always had been? They faked her death? Emmy had twins?

Each one of those was like a fantasy, a lie the duke concocted. He wanted to retort, tell the other how much of a liar he was, but when he raised his head and saw the duke’s expression, he knew the other was not lying. That everything he said was the truth.

What did that mean?

Hundreds of thoughts swirled in his mind. But all he could focus on was one thing – that Emmy was alive. His sister was alive!

Upon that realization, he should have felt happy. But the only thing that filled him at this moment was anger. Blind, hot rage that filled every cell and every fiber of his being.

“You… faked her death? And you didn’t bother to tell me about it? Ha… ha.. hahaha!

Hahahaha!”

A low laugh escaped his lips, then it gradually grew louder and louder. He didn’t even notice the tears that were streaming down his face.

Thomas looked at his younger brother, who was laughing while crying at the same time. He closed his eyes tightly. It pained him to see Cassius like this. The other had always had a sunny and playful disposition. He was never confrontational. Instead, he would just give sarcastic remarks that would hit his opponent right where it hurt.

The fact that Cassius was so overcome with emotion right now proved just how angry he was. Maybe this was the pent up anger he had been suppressing inside him all these years. Which pained Thomas even more.

Because they were the ones who did this to his brother. Cassius was suffering right now because of him and their father.

Casey stopped laughing and said in an almost lifeless voice. “Not even bothering to tell me about it, I guess I really am just a baggage in this family.”

“Cassius, that’s not–“

Thomas wasn’t able to finish what he was saying, because Cassius’ face, that seemed to have calmed down, suddenly contorted.

“But I deserve to know about it. Emmy is my sister, my family! You don’t have the right to keep this away from me!” Cassius shouted, almost like a guttural cry of a wounded animal. “You let me mourn her death! How can you do that? How can…”

As if he had lost all strength in his body, Cassius collapsed and kneeled on the floor. As he cried, he kept on mumbling the words ‘you have no right’ and ‘how dare you’.

Thomas quickly tried to support the other, but was pushed away. The force almost made him stumbled over. He would probably only make things worse if he insisted on approaching Cassius, so he could only stay where he was and watch his brother wallow in his pain and anger.
