Chapter 1049 Truth Be Told, I’ve Had Plastic Surgery
Herb lowered his voice and whispered, “In fact, my father has
three siblings and one of them was an illegitimate daughter.”
There was even an illegitimate daughter. The Clark family was really quite chaotic.
Amelia felt a bit disgusted inside but still pretended to be shocked as she said, “Wow, your grandfather is quite restrained. He only has four children.”
This seemed like a subtle insult to his grandfather. Herb didn’t beat around the bush and continued speaking softly,
“That illegitimate daughter did something that harmed the Clark family, so my grandfather disowned her from the family tree. She was originally the second daughter of the Clark
family.”
Amelia didn’t understand these rankings and asked, “So who
is currently the second Miss Clark in the family?”
Herb replied, “Of course, it’s my younger aunt.”
Seeing that she was still confused, Herb raised his hand and tapped her on the head, saying, “You’re really silly. My eldest aunt Alice is the oldest, my second aunt Ashley is the second oldest, my youngest aunt Sumasa is the third oldest, and my dad Carson is the youngest. However, we don’t have a second aunt anymore, so Sumasa is the second young lady of the Clark family.”
Amelia said, “So my mother’s name is Sumasa, and the construction company my sister set up was named after our mother. Is it in memory of our mother?”
“Besides, there’s one more thing that even I, Johnny, didn’t know. It’s something I overheard from my grandparents’ conversation when I was eavesdropping as a child.”
Amelia perked up her ears and leaned in closer to Herb.
“What is it?”
Herb said mysteriously, “Among my father’s three sisters, one of them is not a child of the Clark family.”
“Could it be that Herb’s grandparents dislike my mother because she’s not their child?” wondered Amelia.
Amelia wanted to figure it out, but she was afraid Herb would suspect her. He already thought she looked like his aunt, so it was better not to arouse suspicion. She didn’t want him to know that she was the baby Skender had lost back then. Just

let them continue to be confused and uncertain about it.
“I’ve told you all about my family’s secrets. Can you let me take a picture of you now?”
Herb slammed the table, startling Amelia out of her thoughts.
She snapped back to her sense and glanced at Herb.
“No way!”
After finishing speaking, she picked up the small bread on the table and left without saying anything else.
“Oh, wait!”
Herb caught up and stopped Amelia.
“Amelia, I’ve told you such an important secret about my family. Can you please let me take a photo? Once I send it to my father and get his confirmation, I won’t bother you anymore. Is that okay?”
