Ashton, on the other hand, was calm and collected. He seemed unfazed when he asked, “Where is

Mother?”

Years of relationship had made both of us have the same lines of thought.

The woman before us removed her sunglasses and flashed a bright smile. “Does it matter? Don’t you

need to know my identity first?”

Ashton fell silent for a while before answering her impatiently, “You’re Nicolas Hall’s daughter. One of the

top five hundred richest people in the world, and the youngest candidate in the Forbes list, Tiffany Hall.”

Ashton seemed to have looked into the Hall family after finding out that Christopher was still alive.

Tiffany lowered her gaze and chuckled. “My achievement normally would overawe my peers, but you

look so calm. It’s no wonder you’re Dad’s son.”

Ashton’s face fell instantly when he heard her mention Christopher. Worried that he might take out his

anger for his father on her, I quickly grabbed his hand to placate him. Then, I looked at Tiffany and said,

“Please do us a favor and cut to the chase. Tell us what you’re here for, Ms. Hall.”

The woman had purposely come to meet us on the day of the funeral of Charlie and Helen. Obviously,

she was not a person who was considerate of other people’s feelings, so she might as well stop with her

small talk.

It was only then Tiffany looked at me from the corner of her eyes. “Oh, you must be Scarlett. Your

children are certainly a big help to me.”

I felt uneasy at once. Both Christopher and her daughter had mentioned our babies. What do they want

from my darlings?

She seemed to have read my mind, seeing as to how she added, “Don’t worry; I mean no harm. I’m only

here to persuade Ashton to bring all of you to the Hall family.”

Judging from her appearance and her achievements, she was clearly a career-oriented woman. Why

would she ask Ashton to go back to the Hall family and be one of her competitors in the family?

Only the fittest would survive the fierce competition in an affluent family, and Thora was the best

example.

Ashton clenched his fists. “Who told you I’m a part of the Hall family?”

His words were filled with anger and extreme disappointment.

A family was supposed to care for one another and stay with each other. But, the Hall family had

abandoned Ashton and let him suffer the loss of his parents while they lived happily on the other side of

the world.

Tiffany had been pampered since the day she was born; that was why she could speak those words

easily. Although she had nothing to do with the scheme of Christopher, belittling the suffering of others

was disrespectful and contemptible.

Being able to easily find us here meant that she was not someone ordinary. However, it was beyond me

why she would choose the time when Ashton had just lost his family to ask him to return to the other

family that had abandoned him years ago.

Perhaps the Hall family members were all ruthless. Fortunately, Ashton was an exception; he did not

have their heartless personality traits.

Tiffany probably had not expected Ashton to reject her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes before retorting,

“I don’t really like to joke around, Ashton. Even though Dad and Mom did not want you, I still accept you

as a Hall. I’m not as narrow-minded as them. We’re biological siblings, so I believe you can definitely get

along with us. Although the Hall family’s property mostly belonged to my brother and I, we can surely

help you if you need…”

“Wait,” I interrupted. “Are you saying that Christopher has another son?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ashton’s entire body tensed up. He clenched his fists even tighter.

“Ah…” Tiffany flashed us a small smile. “He tends to keep a low profile, but don’t worry; he’s a congenial

person. Don’t you think that it’s better to get together? Ashton grew up alone, but now, we can finally be

together and take care of each other. I’m sure our family will become more prosperous.”

As she continued to chatter away, she suddenly paused and looked at Ashton, smiling. “Ashton, don’t

you want to be a part of the Halls?”

How could a person who was born into a happy family feel the pain of an abandoned child?

Tiffany’s words were indeed hurtful, but I knew, deep down, that whatever had happened was not her

fault.
