Sarah felt a sudden flash of pain in her eyes, followed by a wave of cold that rushed from her soul to her head.
She instinctively backed away and pointed at Ashton. But under his intense gaze, her insults caught in her throat, rendering her speechless.
Kevin yanked Sarah back. “That’s enough, Sarah! Have you forgotten our purpose for being here? Do you really want to keep defying Dad’s wishes?”
Sarah’s face turned red with rage, but she ultimately settled for a sharp, resentful grunt.
“Why don’t you come inside, Scarlett and Carol? You haven’t met your cousin before, right? He might be your younger aunt’s son, but he’s actually a bit older than you.
“You should come and get acquainted-all of you from the younger generation will be expected to pay your respects at your grandfather’s birthday celebration!” Kevin exclaimed warmly to the two radiant young women at the entrance.
They were Scarlett Lowe and Carol Wilkinson-the younger daughters of Kevin and Sarah, respectively.
They walked in and froze the moment they spotted Ashton. They hadn’t expected their older cousin to appear so youthful and good-looking, carrying himself with such a distinct presence compared to other men.
“You’re all from the younger generation. Ashton just got back to Linton Island, so take him out to have some fun and get to know each other.
“You guys don’t have to be shy since you’re all family. Your aunt and I need to have a proper talk too, since those of us from the older generation don’t get to meet often,” Kevin said.
“Why don’t you spend some time with Scarlett and Carol, Ash?” Irene suggested.
Ashton nodded in assent, understanding that Irene needed some time to reconnect with her siblings and find out how Colton Lowe, his grandfather, was doing.
“Come on, then! I’ve made some plans with friends, so I’ll take
you to broaden your horizons!”
Carol’s eyes brightened. She was tired of staying in this secluded area, longing instead for the glitz of the city.
She quickly grew bored with Ashton, as to her, a man being good-looking wasn’t enough. She hung around with the wealthy elites and power players who could ruin a person with a single sentence. That was the world she truly wanted to belong to
Scarlett remained courteous toward Ashton and said gently, “Carol and I are heading out to meet some friends. You can come
with us
if you’re not used to it, you can leave whenever you want.”
“Let’s go,” Ashton said with a nod.
After all, they were his relatives. He felt this especially about Scarlett, Kevin’s daughter. Kevin had supported his family many times when he was a child, particularly after Cyril’s unexplained disappearance.
“You should stay quiet when we get there–don’t embarrass me in front of those rich elites,” Carol said
She was dressed in a silk V-neck camisole, revealing a hint of her smooth, pale skin. She had her long hair draped to one side. her glamorous makeup enhancing her seductive charm
Scarlett wore a simple outfit a cardigan paired with denim shorts and flats that gave her a youthtul, energenc vibe
Ashton didn’t feel like bickering with Carol, opting instead to begin cultivating by circulating the Cosmic breathing Technopies.
