Chapter 1379

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

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 youneed to know my identity first?”

Ashton fell silent for a while before answering her impatiently, “You’re Nicolas Hall’s daughter. One ofthe top five hundred richest people in the world, and the youngest candidate in the Forbes list, TiffanyHall.”

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

Tiffany lowered her gaze and chuckled. “My achievement normally would overawe my peers, but youlook 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 hisanger 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 withher small talk.

It was only then Tiffany looked at me from the corner of her eyes. “Oh, you must be Scarlett. Yourchildren are certainly a big help to me.”

I felt uneasy at once. Both Christopher and her daughter had mentioned our babies. What do they wantfrom my darlings?

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

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 hadabandoned Ashton and let him suffer the loss of his parents while they lived happily on the other side ofthe world.

Tiffany had been pampered since the day she was born; that was why she could speak those wordseasily. Although she had nothing to do with the scheme of Christopher, belittling the suffering of otherswas disrespectful and contemptible.

Being able to easily replace us here meant that she was not someone ordinary. However, it was beyondme why she would choose the time when Ashton had just lost his family to ask him to return to theother family that had abandoned him years ago.

Perhaps the Hall family members were all ruthless. Fortunately, Ashton was an exception; he did nothave their heartless personality traits.

Tiffany probably had not expected Ashton to reject her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes beforeretorting, “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 candefinitely get along with us. Although the Hall family’s property mostly belonged to my brother and I, wecan 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 acongenial person. Don’t you think that it’s better to get together? Ashton grew up alone, but now, wecan 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’tyou 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 herfault.
