That man cast Irene a sympathetic look and sighed. “Dad had his reasons for being so against you and Cyril. He had already promised your hand to the Zimmermans, but when you fled the wedding, you shattered the bond between our two families – a rift that hasn’t healed since, Irene.

“He’s actually keeping you safe by kicking you out of the Lowe family. After all, the Zimmermans never would have let you go if you were still a Lowe. You know better than anyone how ruthless the Zimmermans can be, Irene.”

“I’m aware of all that, Kevin…” Irene said, her face clouding over as tears welled in her eyes. “Is Dad truly at the end of his rope?

“That’s right. Dad is only asking for you now because he knows his time is up, Irene,” Kevin Lowe, Irene’s brother, replied while shaking his head. “He seems to be looking into settling his will. He cared for you so much in the past, so he’ll certainly set aside a portion of the Lowe family’s inheritance for you.”

“Dad is so biased! He still cares about Irene even after all this time!”

It was then that the woman beside Kevin snorted, her displeasure clear when the subject of the family inheritance was mentioned.

“That’s enough out of you, Sarah!” Kevin snapped.

“I’m just saying what everyone knows! Do you have any idea how much the Lowes lost because Irene ran away? I mean, we were once a famous, powerful family in Linton Island. Now, everyone treats us like a doormat! Do you know that I can’t even hold my head up around my in-laws because of Irene?”

Sarah Lowe, Irene’s sister, sneered derisively. “You threw everything away to run off with Cyril and had two children with him. but look at him now, Irene. Has he cared for you at all? You probably can’t even track him down.

“You might as well go back and ask that man from the Zimmerman family to see if he still wants you. You know, the word is that his wife just passed away. He might still have a thing for you.”

“You’d better shut that mouth of yours this instant, Sarah! You don’t have to comment on everything. You ought to know that even if Irene doesn’t return to the Lowe family, you won’t be receiving any extra share of the Lowe family’s inheritance,” Kevin snapped.

Sarah crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

Irene sighed. “I know I’m the reason the Lowe family suffered all those years ago. I stayed away because I didn’t want to bring any more trouble to the family, but I won’t miss Dad’s 80th birthday. I’ll be there on that day.”

“Good morning, Mom!” Ashton called out and walked toward them.

Upon spotting Ashton, Irene’s tense expression softened, showing a hint of pride. “You should come meet Uncle Kevin and Aun! Sarah. They used to hold you in their arms when you were a baby, Ash.”

“Hey, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Sarah,” Ashton greeted politely.

“You’ve grown up to be a good-looking young man, Ash! Your mother has told me all about you countless times, trene is quite proud of you!” Kevin exclaimed with a smile.

good-looking, but apparently not enough to keep your ex-wite arul daughter Sarah shot Ashton a dismissive look. “You’re quite by your side. You’re single now, I suppose. You wouldn’t be back in Linton Island because you’re eyeing the Lowe fantuly’s inheritance, would you?”

“You’ve gone far enough, Sarah,” Irene snapped, her gentle demeanor vanishing instantly as she fixed a cold glare one Sazalı She could handle being insulted herself, but she wouldn’t stand by and let someone talk to Ashton that way.

Sarah flinched under Irene’s cold glare and stepped back. She averted her gaze but remained undigung starling. “I’ ́in cui

“You shouldn’t waste your breath and get yourself worked up over a wretched woman like her, Mom,” Ashton said softly as he stepped up to Irene’s side
