Chapter 3

The three of them had arrived at the best fine-dining restaurant in the city. Other than a few waiters, there were no other customers in this place. They entered into a VIP room with an exclusive bar inside.

Once they entered the room, they walked to the sofa in the center. The young man with a face resembling Lucas's invited her to sit. "Have a seat."

Lucas nodded and sat on the sofa, facing the man who looked much like him. As for Chris, he stood not far from them with a silver suitcase in hand.

The man picked up the menu book and opened it. There were many kinds of drinks in this place. "Want something to drink?"

Lucas shook his head. He didn't want to mince words and got straight to the point. "Who exactly are you?"

A few moments ago, he was very surprised when he saw a man who looked so much like him sitting in the car. At that, Lucas wanted to join them.

The man smiled and closed the menu book he had opened. "I'm Louis Carter."

"Louis Carter?" Lucas confirmed.

Louis nodded. "As well as the current head of the Carter family."

Rumor had it that the head of the Carter family was an ugly and stupid young man that no one should expose to the outside world. However, looking at this man in front of him, the Carter family was headed by a very young and handsome man, just like himself.

Lucas felt strange about wanting to talk to the man who looked so much like him. However, he couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore.

Considering how rich and powerful the Carter family was, they couldn't invite a meeting for no apparent reason.

"This... what exactly do you want?" Lucas wondered.

Louis looked at Chris for a moment, which made Chris nod. He took a document from the small suitcase and handed it to Lucas.

"Read it," Louis asked.

Lucas nodded and opened the document without hesitation.

"What is this?" Lucas was confused as he read the document.

"Just read it. You will know." Louis began to explain everything he knew to Lucas.

"We are identical twins separated at birth."

Lucas looked at the document as it caught his attention while listening to Louis's explanation.

Lucas looked at Louis. With the Carter family's wealth, they could have engineered all of this, including Louis Carter' face that looked so much like his.

Lucas's eyebrow dipped, illustrating him disbelief at this situation. "Really?"

"You think?" Louis asked back. Everything was already written in the document. There should be nothing he needed to explain anymore.

"I'm just an orphan," Lucas replied nonchalantly. Never once in her life had he thought that he was the descendant of a tycoon. He dared not even think about it.

Johnson smiled slightly. Lucas's hard life had molded his character to be this hard. From the look Louis gave Lucas, there was only honesty, nothing else. "Besides, there is another fact, you are Lucas Carter."

Chris, who saw Louis's tired face, interjected. "Young Master, let me explain."

Johnson, who felt his energy running low, nodded and allowed Chris to do so. Chris began to explain everything he knew.

A few years ago, the Carter family had gotten into so much trouble that there was a split. The head of the Carter family at that time, who was none other than Louis's father, was busy taking care of it all.

Since Kiara's pregnancy became known, Yosef, Lucas and Louis's father sent Kiara to a halfway house. The atmosphere was so chaotic that Kiara was forced to leave. He didn't want his presence to disrupt Yosef's focus and jeopardize the safety of their family.

After months of living in a halfway house, Kiara finally gave birth. Unfortunately, Kiara's pregnancy was discovered by the enemy. At that time, they carried out a massive attack that killed Kiara.

Lucas was frozen in silence. He still found it hard to accept this truth. Her eyes were glued to Chris, who told this story in such detail as if he was describing a script he had memorized. If this is true, his fate changed so quickly because he was the twin of Louis Carter, the eldest son of the Carter family. "You know, this sounds like something out of a movie."

Chris shook his head. "This is not our scenario. This is God's scenario."

Lucas felt his chest tighten a little. He still had a hard time believing this. He then shook his head. "It still sounds absurd."

Lucas patted his cheek several times, ensuring this was not a dream.

"Young Master, this is all real."

Lucas leaned back on the sofa. He was still having trouble accepting this much truth. "Wait... if there were an attack, you wouldn't know my whereabouts, right? Then how did you guys find me?"

"Like Chris said, this looks like a good scenario." Louis sighed. "You remember three months ago at the city hospital?"

Lucas tried to remember something. Three months ago, he did go to the city hospital to see Elena off. But he was only there for fifteen minutes.

"You saw me there?" Lucas was surprised. It was an incredible coincidence.

Chris nodded and said. "You remember a man was reading the newspaper in the waiting room?"

"I remember, but I didn't see his face," Lucas replied.

Chris smiled. "That was me."

"You followed me?" Lucas squealed.

"That was the first time I saw you, Young Master. I wasn't stalking you."

If not stalking him, what was Chris doing in that place? Lucas became curious and asked. "Then what were you doing there?"

"That's because of me," Louis replied. "Because I was receiving emergency treatment at that place."

"Are you sick?" Lucas asked with a serious look directed at Louis.

Louis nodded. A strange wave crept up Lucas's chest at the knowledge that Louis was sick.

But on the other hand, Louis also didn't want to look weak in front of his brother. "Forget that. I want to tell you something else."

"What is it?"

When Chris told him about Lucas, he became curious and asked Chris to investigate Lucas's background. After a month of investigation, Chris discovered that Lucas had grown up in an orphanage without anyone knowing his background.

A few weeks following Lucas, Chris managed to get a sample of his hair to do a DNA test. Despite getting what he wanted, Louis didn't stop. He wanted to reveal why his twin was separated from him.

After several weeks of gathering evidence, the truth was revealed. They deliberately took Lucas prisoner, in the hope that Yosef would pick him up and exchange him for power. What they didn't know, however, was that Joseph didn't even know about Lucas's whereabouts, so he wasn't looking for him.

"Then why didn't they contact you?"

Louis smiled broadly. "In those days, technology was not sophisticated. Although there were phone lines in the city, they wouldn't reach the remote island. Besides, Father was also a feared man in his time. They wouldn't dare show themselves."

Lucas shook his head. This all seemed strange. There were many odd things she felt when she heard Louis's words.

"Lucas, you are part of the Carter family. Come back because I need you."
