In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1379

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.
