Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 1296:

The realization hit her like a tidal wave. In an instant, her posture straightened.

“Mr. Thatcher!”

She snapped into formality, giving Denby a crisp, precise salute.

Denby raised a hand, a silent gesture for her to lower hers.

“You can still call me Denby. I’m not your direct superior. This conversation isn’t about official matters.”

Then what was it about? The question stirred in Madisyn’s mind.

Denby spoke again, as if reading her thoughts.

“Qiviut Organization is the most specialized division under my command. You are one of the best operatives in the mission department—I recognized you the moment I saw you. I’m revealing my identity to you because it is necessary. Andrew brought you to me, which means you are already aware of the situation surrounding his mother and me. So I want to lay everything out for you, so you can grasp the full picture. There are certain things I’ve never even shared with Andrew.”

At that, Madisyn’s expression turned serious.

“Denby, please continue.”

Denby’s voice was steady, measured.

“For years, Andrew and his paternal grandfather believed his mother died because the mission was too dangerous. But that isn’t the truth. I know my daughter. I raised her. That mission wouldn’t have been enough to take her down. There had to be another reason for the incident. I have spent years investigating, relentlessly pursuing the truth. And now, I finally have leads…”

Madisyn listened intently, her brows drawing together in thought.

On one hand, she was struck by the sheer difficulty of Denby’s long, exhausting investigation. On the other, she hadn’t expected Andrew’s mother’s death to have a deeper, hidden layer to it.

She couldn’t interfere with Denby’s investigation. But after a moment, she asked, “Why didn’t you tell Andrew the truth about his mother’s death?”

Denby let out a slow sigh.

“Of course, I know I should tell him. But aside from my responsibilities, I am also a father and a grandfather. Before she died, his mother made one thing clear—she didn’t want Andrew to be caught in the same dangers. I made the choice to keep the truth from him. And even without knowing, he has still become the man he is today. But knowing his personality—if he had known the truth back then, what do you think he would have done?”

Madisyn thought of the Andrew she once knew—far less steady, far more impulsive.

Even just believing his mother had died on a mission had already driven him to take on the weight of her unfinished work, pushing himself through grueling training, throwing himself into missions alone while still in his teens.

If he had known the full truth—if rage had consumed him… there was no telling what reckless path he might have taken.

Madisyn fell silent, the weight of the revelation settling over her. But after a while, another thought surfaced in her mind.noveldrama

“Do I need to tell him about my role in the Qiviut Organization?”

“No need,” Denby said immediately.

“My revealing my identity to you today was an exception. Let Andrew find things out in his own time. There is no need for you to burden yourself with forcing anything.”
