Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 The Lost Daughter 

Ashton’s new relationship was exposed. Moreover, he posted on Twitter, saying that he and Deborah broke up peacefully three years ago. 

A new wave of discussions instantly took up the Internet. Public opinion began to improve, and apparently, the attacks on Deborah started to subside. 

Ashton looked at the photos that were exposed, which were the pictures of him interacting with Rebecca at the gate of 

the Civil Affairs Bureau just now. 

Ashton quickly realized that something was wrong and looked sideways at the woman beside him unhappily. 

Rebecca didn’t hide the truth and confessed with a nonchalant smile. “I admit that I hired those paparazzi and asked them to post the photos.” 

Rebecca was a Moxley, and Ashton was the CEO of the Mullen Group. 

Thus, without permission from one of them, none of those reporters and paparazzi would have the guts to use their accounts to post such photos. 

So just now, it was just Rebecca’s plan. She tricked Ashton and lied that someone was secretly filming them to let him get into her car. 

Ashton’s face was filled with disdain, and Rebecca smiled smugly. “In this way, public opinion will be suppressed 

soon. Isn’t it just as you wish?” 

The car soon stopped outside the Moxley Manor, and there were many media reporters inside and outside. 

Donna was getting old, and she enjoyed the lively atmosphere very much. 

The 

reporter. clamored to come and take pictures, so Donna smiled and agreed. 

Rebecca opened the door and got out of the car, then turned around and glanced at Ashton. “I didn’t invite these reporters here, but I’m sure you must know that you have to get it done when it’s already started.” 

When Ashton got out of the car with a sullen face, Rebecca walked toward him. Under the flashlight, she naturally 

took Ashton’s arm. 

The reporter finally got the pictures they wanted. 

Rebecca put on a smug look. After entering the manor, she introduced Ashton to everyone around. 

She only said that she and Ashton were friends. If she actually said that Ashton was her boyfriend, it would be embarrassing if Ashton denied it on the spot and dismantled her. 

On the contrary, the others only thought she was shy when she said Ashton was just her friend. 

When a man and a woman held hands intimately in public, nobody would believe that they were just friends. 

After introducing Ashton to everyone, Rebecca and Ashton walked toward Donna and Kolt, who were sitting in the innermost part of the living room. 

This time, she didn’t need to introduce Ashton to them because everyone in the Moxley family knew him. 

Ashton greeted them, and the elders of the Moxley family all smiled and welcomed him. 

However, they all glanced at the people behind Ashton. 

Rebecca followed their sight and looked back. Then, she saw Adrian holding Alyssa’s hand, walking toward them while

chatting with the others. 

Alyssa was only about eight years old but had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. When she stood next to Adrian, everyone believed that Alyssa was Adrian’s daughter, 

After all, their brows and eyes were quite alike. 

Even Adrian himself joked before, saying that maybe it was indeed fate that made him find his illegitimate daughter 

who was once lost. 

As soon as they came over, Rebecca was obviously ignored. 

she planned to officially introduce Ashton to the elders of the Moxley family and make up a story about how she and Ashton met each other to show off their love. 

But now, she had lost her chance. 

The elders all stared at Alyssa. Donna was so happy that her eyes squinted in joy. 

As soon as Alyssa came over, Donna stretched out her hands when she was still far away. “My baby! Come quickly to Grandma. Let me hug you!” 

Alyssa took off the backpack, stuffed it into Adrian’s hands, and walked over to lean against Donna’s arms. 

“Great-grandma!” 

Then, she tilted her head and greeted the others. “Grandpa, Grandma, uncles, auntie…” 

Although Rebecca was a little upset when she heard Alyssa calling her auntie, she still greeted Alyssa reluctantly. 

This kid came from nowhere, but she was truly adorable. 

Donna hugged Alyssa and reprimanded Steven and Norman, who were sitting on the sofa playing with their mobile phones, “Didn’t you hear Alyssa call you uncle? You two don’t look like decent uncles at all! What a shame!” 

Steven finally looked away from the pile of business affairs on his phone. 

He reached out and touched Alyssa’s head. “Alyssa, you’re here. You’re getting prettier and prettier.” 

Donna snorted coldly, “You will praise the beauty of this kid. If you also praise the girls around you like this, you can certainly find yourself a wife!” 

Steven cleared his throat lightly and stood up awkwardly. 

He glanced aside and saw Ashton. “Mr. Mullen, you’re here as well. Come on, let’s go over there for a drink” 

After he finished speaking, he chatted with Ashton and walked away soon. 

Donna was furious. “He only knows how to chat with men! With such a good opportunity, why can’t he just find himself a girlfriend?” 

She looked aside and soon noticed Norman, who was still playing with his mobile phone. 

Norman noticed that sharp gaze and immediately put away his phone. Then, he got up, wanting to escape. “Ah, I’ll go have a drink with Mr. Mullen too.” 

Donna scolded, “Sit down!” 

Norman immediately sat back on the sofa. 

Donna continued to lecture Norman. “You are even more outrageous! You are in the hospital every day, and there are

so many beautiful female doctors, nurses, and even patients…” 

Norman was speechless. “Grandma, our hospital strictly prohibits dating among colleagues.” 

Adrian looked at them in amusement and sald jokingly, “What kind of hospital is that? How can there be such regulations? For all these years, I have never seen a hospital where Its employees are not allowed to fall in love.” 

Norman looked at him. “Adrian, just sit, eat, and shut up.” 

Donna became even angrier. “How dare you talk to Adrian like that! Adrian has a daughter. How can you compare with 

him?!” 

Norman muttered in a low voice, “Is Alyssa his daughter? He was just lucky and found her at the bottom of the 

mountain.” 

The more Donna looked at Norman and Steven, the more annoyed she became. “If you two can’t get married, you’ll not be allowed to attend my birthday party again!” 

Norman looked over from a distance, and Steven went to drink somewhere else.
