Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Ashford County

Emily Wolfe, dressed casually, walked over with a warm smile.

Thank you for letting me join you, Mr. Barclay, Miss Noir. I’ve always wanted to visit Ashford County

Ares quietly glanced at Iris, hoping to catch even the slightest hint of jealousy.

When he found none, he felt strangely disappointed.

Emily and Julie climbed into the back seat together

“I never thought you’d come somewhere like Ashford County Julie teased

She knew Ares a little better than Emily did, and since their families were on similar footing. she spoke much more comfortably around him.

Ares turned toward Iris in the passenger seat with a grin. It’s the weekend. I was hoping to enjoy a little time alone with Iris and have her be my tour guide”

Originally, he’d assumed Julie would be busy learning from Edmund Ashcroft, leaving him free to spend the day with Iris

Instead. Emily had unexpectedly tagged along.

The drive passed quickly, and by noon they had arrived in Ashford County

Meanwhile, at the Sutton residence in Kingsley.

Ever since returning home, Vanessa had been cursing Iris nonstop

She hated her with every fiber of her being.

Because of that girl, the business deal in Nevaris had fallen through.

Now the Sutton family’s company was seeing its revenue drop yet again.

Samuel Sutton was far more rational. He spent nearly every day at the office trying to find a solution.

As for Vanessa, the moment she returned, she hired private investigators to find Iris’s current address.

If that ungrateful daughter refused to let her live in peace, then Iris shouldn’t expect any peace

either

“What do you mean you couldn’t find her? That’s impossible!”

The private investigator sighed over the phone.

“Could the information you gave us be incorrect? We’ve checked nearly every resident in Ashford County and couldn’t find a single household with the surname Noir”

“But when we picked her up back then, the address we were given was in Ashford County!” Vanessa snapped angrily. “How could she not be there?”

“It must be your database that’s useless! Forget it. Don’t bother looking anymore!”

A bunch of incompetent freeloaders.

Fuming, she threw on her coat and headed for the door only to run into Olivia Sutton

“Mom, where are you going?

Vanessa’s face darkened Fine I’ll go to Ashford County myself and find that ungrateful girl you insist on calling your sister”

The moment Olivia Sutton heard that her mother was going to see Iris, she tensed.

“Why are you suddenly looking for her? Did something happen?”

She had worked so hard to drive Iris out of the Sutton family

Surely her mother hadn’t changed her mind?

But judging by the look on Vanessa’s face, that didn’t seem to be the case

“Your sister sabotaged our deal with the Quinn Group in Nevaris. Vanessa snapped. She thinks she can ruin our lives and get away with it? She’s got another thing coming

Only then did Olivia relax.

Seeing her mother about to leave, she quickly wrapped an arm around hers.

“Let me come with you. I haven’t seen my sister in a long time, either. Besides, I can look after you on the trip.”

Meanwhile, Iris and the others had already arrived in Ashford County.

“This place is so remote… and it looks pretty poor

Julie Young leaned against the window, staring at the barren landscape outside in confusion.

“Why would Mr. Ashcroft choose to live somewhere like this?”

With his craftsmanship, Edmund Ashcroft earned more than enough money to live anywhere he wanted.

Why settle in such a tiny, impoverished place?

Every master Julie had studied under before either lived in a villa or at least had a clean, comfortable apartment.

“You’ll understand once we get there,” Iris said.

Both Julie and Emily looked uneasy.

Having grown up surrounded by wealth and luxury, neither of them was accustomed to an environment like this.

Following the address Iris had been given, they drove into a secluded village.

The sleek luxury sedan immediately drew the villagers‘ attention.

“What a beautiful car! I wonder which important guest has come?”

“They’re probably here to see Old Man Ashcroft again.”

“That makes the eighth visitor this month.”

“With that old man’s temper? He chases every single one of them away. These people won’t be any different.”

The car continued through the village and headed toward an even more isolated area.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at an elegant, traditional courtyard.

Looking at the place, Ares Barclay chuckled.

“Mr. Ashcroft and Professor Jett Xu would probably get along well.”

Neither man liked bustling cities.

Both preferred building luxurious homes tucked away in the mountains.

The car stopped at the entrance.

Ares stepped out first and helped Iris from the passenger seat while the driver walked around to open the rear doors for the other two women.

The heavy front gate was tightly shut.

The driver walked over and knocked.

A sleepy voice called from inside.

“Move.”

But he couldn’t place where he’d seen her before.

‘Do people really investigate this thoroughly just to find my teacher?‘

“I stay here whenever my teacher isn’t around,” William declared proudly. “Nobody gets inside.”
