Chapter 510
“Bethany, is she the daughter they adopted later on?”
“Yes” I nodded. “Simone dotes on her very much, like she was her biological daughter.”
Yasmin frowned slightly. “Isn’t she about two years younger than you?”
“How did you know?
Hearing my response, Yasmin’s brows curved in a sympathetic manner as she explained, “It’s highly likely that Ben is raising the daughter of Simone’s former lover.”
“What?” Caught off guard, I was stunned. “What do you mean? Bethany is the daughter of Simone’s former lover?”
It’s just a guess
Yasmin smiled and elaborated, “Simone’s first love was a thug in Jeswood named Kevin Sullivan, I think. Later, when Kevin got into trouble and went to prison, Simone started an affair with Ben.”
“Kevin got married not long after he was released, but his wife died during childbirth. Soon after, he got into trouble again, this time for murder. He killed someone with a significant background, which was enough to cost him his life. He fled the country, leaving behind a newborn child.”
“Rumor has it he escaped abroad, and there has been no news of him for many years.”
I was dumbfounded, and after a while, I said, “So, you suspect that Bethany is that child?”
“But why would she be so kind to the child of her former lover and another woman?”
Given Simone’s character, she would probably have wanted to get rid of the child.
Yasmin chuckled. “Do you know who Kevin killed the person for?”
I clicked my tongue. “For Simone?”
Yasmin didn’t speak but gave me a “guess” look.
I immediately felt a chill.
The doorbell rang, and the servant went to open it. A group of casually dressed people entered, carrying
various items.
“Stop thinking about it for now.”
Yasmin glanced at the time and said proudly, “Get ready for your makeup. Tonight, my precious daughter will definitely outshine everyone.”
The celebration banquet was held at a six–star hotel in Jeswood.
The banquet hall was grand and spacious, with dazzling lights and high standards. The guests invited were all prominent figures.
At this time, some guests had already begun to enter the hall in small groups with their invitations.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, Frank called to let me know he was on his way.

I hung up with a smile, and Yasmin immediately saw through it. “Has my future son–in–law finished his work?”
“Mom!” I felt a bit embarrassed. “You just said you wanted to observe him a bit more.”
Yasmin laughed lightly. “Since you’re so satisfied, what more is there to observe? I trust you. Whoever you bring home, I believe he must be a top–notch son–in–law.”
