She tiptoed and put her ear against the door.
“Darling, I’ve let Alice down. I was muddle-headed at that time and shouldn’t have chased her out of the house.”
Hera could clearly hear her grandpa’s voice, which was laced with sounds of sniffles.
She blinked her eyes. Is grandpa referring to Aunt? Hera was aware that she had an aunt who was disowned by her grandparents after she did something shameful and brought disgrace upon the family.
“I have never imagined that I would get to meet Alice’s daughter one day. She’s really pretty and had even become an outstanding doctor. Darling, I regret it so much! Alice was equally brilliant at that time. I have failed you too! I felt so guilty when I met Alice’s daughter. What should I do to make up for it?”
Is grandpa having a heart-to-heart talk with my late grandma?
After eavesdropping for a while, Hera finally knew what was going on.
Looks like grandpa’s greatest regret was chasing Aunt away back then!
Hera frowned.
So what if he regrets it? She was repulsed at the thought of becoming cousins with Ashlyn.
Who wants to be that b*tch’s cousin!
“Darling, do you think it’s a good idea if I hand over the Chapman family baton to her? Given her capabilities, she would definitely be able to lead the family to greater heights and ensure the continued prosperity of our Chapman family!”
What? Is grandpa thinking of letting Ashlyn inherit the family business?
Is he crazy?
That b*tch is not even a Chapman!
If she’s in charge of the Chapman family, how difficult would my life be next time?
No way!
Hera needed to stop her grandpa from doing that.
A menacing glint appeared in Hera’s eyes. Not only was Ashlyn always picking on her, but she was also snatching the Chapman family’s fortune away from her now. Hera was furious and could not wait to skin Ashlyn alive.
Suddenly, Hera heard her grandpa’s voice again, “Darling, I need to find that child and tell her the truth of what happened that time! I need to atone for my mistake!”
Truth? What truth? Hera was lost in her thoughts when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
