Chapter 218 A Secret Past of the Hale Family

“Zora, let Leighton order you some nice food tonight.”

Hallie and the others all picked light vegetable dishes for their meals. They believed good friends shared joy and hardship alike.

Keeping a plain diet was good for health, and they didn’t want to tempt their friends.

“Okay.” Zora ate slowly.

“Have you heard? Mr. Hale is back in town. He’s throwing a big party at Pine Restaurant in three days. I wonder if we can find a way to get on his good side and have him get us some White Jade Balm. That balm works wonders on skin.”

Some students walked past and chatted excitedly.

“Hasn’t the one invited over by the Frost family left yet?” Easton asked in confusion.

After Tessa fell ill, her father specially reached out to the Hale family for help. It was Evan who came over to see if there was a way. Later, when Tessa woke up, he’d been bragging everywhere that he was the one who saved her life.

They hadn’t known Zora had helped before, and everyone blindly believed Evan deserved all the credit.

Turns out he was just stealing the fruits of others’ labor.

These days, they had grown tired of hearing others praise how outstanding Evan was. Only those who had met him knew he was nothing but a spoiled, arrogant playboy.

He had even sent out numerous party invitations in a high-profile manner recently.

“Not yet. I heard from my grandpa that the Hale family ran into huge troubles overseas and could barely hold their ground, so they decided to come back home,” Hallie said while eating.

“Come back? The current Hale family can never compare to what it used to be. Without the reputation built by the former family head, they would never even catch our attention,” Easton scoffed.

His father once said the current leader of the Hale family was utterly incompetent. The family only stood firm relying on the old foundation laid years ago.

Zora listened quietly without saying a word.

No one talked more about the Hale family afterward, and none of them planned to attend Evan’s party.

Zora thought about the address her mentor had given her.

“Does anyone know where Primeway Avenue is?” she raised her head and asked softly.

Finished

She was still unfamiliar with every corner of Seacrest. She had planned to take a taxi there the day before, yet unexpected incidents ruined her plan.

“Primeway Avenue? Isn’t that the old Hale Manor?” Easton stuffed a big mouthful of food and looked up.

“That place used to belong to the Hale family. They moved abroad years ago and sold the manor due to financial troubles. An unknown wealthy businessman bought it later. Why do you ask, Zora?” Hallie added.

“That’s right. My dad once wanted to buy that manor too, but he missed the chance,” Easton agreed.

The Hale family.

Zora pressed her lips tight the moment she heard the name.

It was truly inevitable to run into matters related to them again and again.

“Nothing much, I was just curious.” She hid her inner thoughts calmly.

“Do any of you know more stories about the Hale family?” Zora asked again.

“We don’t know too many details. They moved overseas 20 years ago, long before we were born. I only heard elders talk about them occasionally. Back then, their power and status were almost equal to the Marlows and the Pierces. Marvin Hale, the former family head, was an extremely remarkable man who led the whole family to thrive, and all the elders in our circle spoke highly of him.”

Hallie explained patiently, seeing that Zora was interested.

“Who exactly are the core members of their main family?” Zora wanted to learn more.

“There were only three core members in the main branch: family head Marvin Hale, his wife Sabrina Hale, and their only son Asher Hale.”

Felix joined the conversation with a hint of regret in his tone.

“Asher was also praised by every elder. If he had grown up safely, he would have surely become an extraordinarily brilliant figure.”

Even now, people in their social circle still spoke highly of Asher, calling him wise beyond his age and exceptionally talented.

“Go on, tell us more!” Easton urged eagerly.

“The whole family moved overseas 20 years ago. Three years later, a violent terrorist attack broke out. Their overseas manor was completely destroyed in the explosion, and the three of them all lost their lives in the fire.”

Most people knew little about this hidden past, but Felix’s elder brother worked in the intelligence department and got access to more exclusive news.

Everyone sighed in sorrow after hearing the story.

“Why did they choose to leave the country? They would never have suffered such disasters if they had stayed here.” Hallie felt confused.

“No one knew the exact reason for their emigration. Some rumors said Sabrina suffered from a rare, stubborn illness, and they went abroad seeking better medical treatment. No one could have expected such a tragic ending,” Felix said in a low voice.

“They left their hometown forever and never got the chance to come back,” Easton murmured.

“Didn’t Marvin master superb medical skills? Why did he still have to travel far away for treatment?” Hallie felt even more puzzled.

The Hale family was famous for their extraordinary medical skills, so it was hard to believe even Marvin could not cure his own wife.

“No matter how skilled a doctor is, there are always illnesses beyond cure in this vast world,” Zora said softly.
