Chapter 99 Fighting for a Chance for Me and Walter
I shook my head, speaking softly, “I won’t go back on what I promised you initially. I just want to
confirm, the reason you want me to divorce Walter.”
She turned cold, her face showing little patience, and said, “I’ve said it before, the daughter-in-law of
the Hinton family must be clean. Your father deceived us years ago, which made me very angry. If it
weren’t for your decent behavior in the Hinton family over the past two years, I would not have let it go.
Of course, it’s not just for this reason, Tabatha, you know better than I do that the Conner Group is of
no help to the Hinton family at present, and may even inadvertently involve the Hinton family. Your
father is not here, and it’s not easy for you to hold on. Walter’s wife can add luster to the Hinton family,
but she can’t be a burden to the Hinton family. Besides, our Walter doesn’t have much affection for you.
Do you understand?”
In plain terms, the Conner Group no longer had any interest in the Hinton Group, and Carley, true to
her nature as a businesswoman, had everything calculated clearly.
After she finished speaking, I remained silent, not rushing to respond. Instead, I calmly took a moment
before saying, “If I could clear my name from the events five years ago, and I wouldn’t let the Conner
Group drag down the Hinton family, would you still force me to divorce Walter?”
Her action of pouring tea paused slightly, she glanced at me, a hint of surprise showing on her aged
face, “Are you saying, you don’t want to divorce Walter?”
I didn’t directly answer her question, instead I said, “Grandma, this is
00%
what I found out at the hospital today.”
I handed her the ultrasound report I was holding.
She furrowed her brows, taking the paper with a puzzled look. After a glance, she was clearly taken
aback. Then, an undeniable joy spread across her face as she looked at me and asked, “Are you
pregnant?”
I nodded, opening my mouth to say, “Yeah, it’s been six weeks now, this child came as a surprise to Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
me. I’m not a person who breaks promises, what I promised you, I’ve always kept in mind. Since my
dad left, I’ve been thinking about divorcing Walter, but I didn’t expect to suddenly become pregnant. As
an elder, I respect you, and I think, like me, you don’t want this child in my belly to face an incomplete
home after birth, right?”
She tightly held the ultrasound report in her hand, joy spreading across her face without any attempt to
conceal it, but she was a very astute Carley,
Would not easily change one’s decision because of a child.
After listening to me, she put down the ultrasound report, her face much calmer. Her cloudy eyes
stared at me as she asked, “What did you mean when you said you could clear the stain of disgrace
from five years ago?”
Five years ago, I was reluctant to explain, thinking that without
evidence, others would only see it as me making excuses. But now it’s different, I’ve found the clues.
So, there’s no need to hide anything from Carley anymore.
I told her every single detail about why I was kidnapped and how I was
sold that year.
After hearing my words, she couldn’t hide the surprise on her face, “Are you saying, you were sold to
the border because you were lured
34.09%
by Ashley?”
I nodded.
She became even more confused, “Why? Aren’t you biological sisters? Why would she do such a
thing? What’s the reason?”
I pursed my lips, took a slight breath and said, “Five years ago, I couldn’t understand why she treated
me this way. But after my father passed away, I understood why she did it. She was not the daughter of
the Conner family, she was just a child my mother had taken in out of kindness many years ago.”
Carley was probably stunned by my successive messages, remaining silent for a while. She looked at
me incredulously and said, “Are you saying. Ashley is not the biological daughter of the Conner
family?”
I nodded. My parents had never spoken about this matter to outsiders. Most of the people who knew
about it were now either dead or had moved to other cities. Naturally, no one knew that Ashley was not
actually the daughter of the Conner family.
After a long while, Carley let out a deep sigh, “In that case, what you just said does make sense. An
adopted daughter becoming jealous and wanting to harm her biological sister, such things are not
uncommon. This woman, Ashley, she may seem weak, but she’s not exactly kind- hearted. She’s
capable of doing such things.”
Regarding Carley’s evaluation of Ashley, I didn’t comment. For someone like Ashley, there was no
longer a need to judge her good or bad.
After a long silence, Carley looked up at me and said, “So, you were framed five years ago, but why
have you kept silent for these five years? Haven’t you explained to anyone what happened back
then?”
