Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1258

When I saw his eagerness and lack of composure, I quickly spoke up. "You've got it all wrong. I asked you to speak, so I can definitely help you.

"Anson wouldn't have left any leeway if it were impossible. He's old. He misses those who used to be around him, especially since you were once his adopted son and called him father." My tone left no room for doubt.

But in my mind, I thought about it.

I wasn't lying to him. Returning to the Huffman family would definitely not be an issue, but dealing with him afterward would be another problem. After all, he was a ruthless killer, and figuring out how to deal with him would be crucial.

When he heard my words, Millard, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly brightened up. I could even see a faint smile on his face.

I continued calmly. "However, as the current adopted daughter of the Huffman family, I can't let the Huffman family take a wrong step because of me.

"So, how do you plan to return? With what identity? You’ll have to figure that out yourself. Based on your current state—working for a ruthless man, killing without hesitation and showing no signs of remorse—there's no way you'll pass the test, let alone become the true head of the Huffman family."

"That goes without saying. I'm well aware of that," Millard said confidently.

"That's good. I'll find a way for you to do that, but your performance is up to you." We had entered into a negotiation.

After a moment of thought, I continued, "You grew up in the Huffman family. Although the Huffman family walks a fine line, it has its own strict rules. You need to accept them. As long as you sincerely repent and abide by the Huffman family's rules, I’ll support you returning.”

"Agreed." Millard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"After all... even though I'm still somewhat favored in the Huffman family and am grateful for Anson's affection, this is not an empty boast. So, you need to remember this: if you remain as you were before—eager for quick success and narrow-minded—I won't agree to bring you back. I can't afford to embarrass myself like that."
