Chapter 536 A Father’s True Love
The couple died in an “accident,” just like that.
Walter thought about how one brother after another had left him behind, and now even Raymond, his most trusted subordinate, was gone.
The grief and helplessness surged back into Walter’s chest.
“Do you know those people have been searching in secret for something-hiding in all kinds of places, digging for years, all for that one thing?”
“I … didn’t know that,” Amelia said dully.
She still hadn’t even digested what he’d just told her.
Now he dropped this on her, and she was even more thrown.
Looking for something?
What is it?
She’d never heard of it—and she’d never found anything about it in her own digging.
“I’m guessing your father didn’t want you to know,” Walter said. “So, he blocked whatever you tried to uncover—and he never planned to tell you.
“I thought he’d told you.
“Sigh… your father protected you extremely well. He wouldn’t let you know anything that was too dangerous, and he also prohibited me from telling you.
“If you hadn’t uncovered the truth about Regina yourself, he probably wouldn’t have given you anything more.”
Hearing that, Amelia got more anxious and blurted, “What does that mean? What are they looking for?”
“A compound that can undo their experiments.
“Hendrick led the work. The three of us developed it together.”
This compound could break the restraints placed on both the researchers and their subjects- what they called “rewriting genes” to create geniuses.
Only that way could they stop more people from suffering and then dying from the side

effects.
This whole “reverse your genes, become stronger” fantasy was nothing but a brief, dazzling illusion.
If the price was your health-and someone else’s—then it meant nothing.
Your body was the baseline. Without it, everything collapsed.
But the people blinded by profit would never think that far.
They were afraid their plan would be destroyed, so they used every method to find that thing— and erase it.
Walter had handed it to Raymond for safekeeping.
Later, the people behind the scenes discovered it was with the Nygard Group, so they sent Regina to get close to Raymond.
That was why everything that followed happened, one disaster after another.
It even included placing Gianna into the Nygards’ home.
“There’s one thing I have to tell you,” Walter said. “And you have the right to know it.”
He thought for a long time before speaking again.
“What?” Amelia felt like she couldn’t breathe properly.
Her mind was a mess. She still hadn’t processed the last wave of truths.
She’d always believed her father was mediocre—and didn’t care about his family.
That he couldn’t even run the Nygard Group properly.
She’d never imagined he’d done so much in the dark-made sacrifices that huge.
“Back then, the person who found you in that lab-and got you out fast-was your father.
“When you disappeared, the one hit hardest-the one who nearly broke-was him.
“He searched in secret day and night until he found you. But he was afraid that rescuing you himself would make Regina suspicious.
“Because he was still playing the role of a man indifferent to his family, devoted only to Regina.
“So, he came to me. He had me stage it like an accident-like I’d stumbled into their den—and I

pulled you out.”
And because that move spooked them, their trail vanished.
After that, it was almost impossible to find even a thread.
“He … saved me?” Amelia froze completely.
