Mother! Her mother had a family!
Is my mother a Chapman?
She couldn’t believe it.
Actually, she could hardly even breathe after what Anthony had said.
“Her name is Fiona, and she is the youngest daughter of the Chapman family. She is a genius and learns almost everything at a glance which others might take years. Her presence was a threat to others in the family because she was the apple of our parent’s eye. Naturally, all the best things went to her.”
“That’s unfair. She doesn’t deserve it!” Anthony berated with his voice quivering.
“My mom... Why did she marry Horace?” Ashlyn seemed a little confused.
“Your mon was accepted to several universities at the age of fifteen, yet in the end, she went to Thompson University. She was only eighteen when she graduated with a double bachelor’s degree. However, she came home that summer and told us she was pregnant.”
Anthony’s words caused a surge in Ashlyn’s heart. She was shocked and could only murmur, “And then what happened?”
“Your grandpa was an old-fashioned man. He was so angry and thought your mom had disgraced the family, so he kicked her out. But I’m not sure what happened after that.”
Anthony looked at Ashlyn and mocked, “You’re her illegitimate child without a father. Don’t you dare be full of yourself. Where’s your mom? Where is she? Is she dead?”
“Get lost. Get out of here now!” Ashlyn took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Take him to the police!”
The security guards immediately took the order and escorted Anthony away.
The onlookers looked at Ashlyn with surprise, and some, in sympathy.
It’s hard to believe that Dr. Berry came from such a complicated family. The rich have many secrets indeed.
However, no one dared to gossip in front of Ashlyn.
Her strong aura and cold temperament were too terrifying.
Ashlyn loosened her fists and looked into the direction of Mr. Chapman’s ward, her eyes clouded and gloomy. I think it’s time to have a talk with Mr. Chapman now.
