Chapter 1001
Carol looked Ashton over. She hadn’t expected him to come out unharmed
Sully, who had been standing beside her, looked slightly puzzled as he spoke
“Ashton, why would the Zapata family let you go? After what you did to Mr. Zeke, they just let you go
Ashton ignored them and walked away with Scarlett.
“What’s with that attitude?” Carol snapped, her expression darkening.
“Forget it,” Sully said. “Someone like him, who always resorts to violence, is bound to cause to sooner or later. Carol, you need to cut ties with him. Don’t let him drag us down.”
“I know what I’m doing,” Carol said coldly, “Grandpa’s birthday is coming up, and the Lowe family probably split the assets then. Ashton chose this exact moment to return to Linton Island. He’s clearly here for his share. I won’t let him get his way,
“Once that’s over, I’ll have nothing to do with him. I don’t want someone like him to be my cousi”
“You’re right,” Sully said as he slipped an arm around her waist and smiled.
“Once you get your share of the Lowe family’s assets, we’ll get married. Once our families join forces, we’ll be one of the top families on Linton Island. After that, people like Ashton and Scarlett will be the ones looking up at us,”
“Anyway, my grandpa’s birthday is in two days. Make sure you prepare a proper gift. Don’t embarrass me I’m going to outshine everyone there on that day,” she said, her gaze fixing on Ashton’s retreating figure
“Relax. I’ve got everything ready. I’ll definitely make sure you steal the show,” Sully said with a sneer. “If! get the chance, I’ll humiliate Ashton and make sure he never lives it down.”
Half an hour later, Ashton, Scarlett, and Carol returned home to find Irene, Kevin, and Sarah just wrapping up their conversation.
“Irene, we’ll see you the day after tomorrow for Dad’s birthday,” Kevin said. “He’ll be happy to see you, it’s a good chance for him to meet his grandson, too. He may act tough, but he’s always had you on his mind.

“Alright. I’ll bring Ash to see him then,” she replied.
“That’s great. Then, we’ll see you the day after tomorrow,” he responded.
A moment later, Irene walked Kevin and the others to the door.
“Ashton, see you the day after tomorrow,” Scarlett said, waving at him with a bright smile. Her attitude toward him was noticeably different now.
“See you,” Ashton said.

He had a decent impression of her. Since they were family, he didn’t mind setting her up for a good life
As for Carol, her fate would depend on her own choices. He had no intention of treating her as family.
Irene and Kevin were pleased to see Ashton and Scarlett getting along, and they smiled.
Sarah and Carol stood at the side, keeping their distance from Ashton and Irene while looking at them coldly. When they left, they didn’t even say goodbye.
“Ash, your grandpa’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. They’ll probably divide the family assets then. If they offer you anything, don’t take it,” Irene said, her expression dimming slightly. Truth is, I’m the one who dragged the Lowe family down all these years.”
Back then, she was young and reckless. She ran off with Cyril and left a mess behind. Even so, her strict father had never punished her. Instead, he had only cut ties with her.
Looking back now, Irene understood that it had been a form of protection. If she had remained part of the Lowe family, she would have been forced into a marriage with the Zimmerman family. If she refused, they would have retaliated.
After she left Linton Island with Cyril, the Zimmermans did retaliate against the Lowe family. They suppressed the Lowes to the point that, even now, they had never been able to rise again.
