Chapter 1371 Speaking the Truth


    ?


    This time, I was genuinely surprised. "The Av family?"


    "Yes, the leader of the younger generation of the Av family," As affirmed.


    "How did you know?" I asked. "Is the information reliable?"


    "Are you doubting me?" As asked. "Her whereabouts are never beyond Jared''s sight."


    "No wonder his cooperation with the Huffman family hasn''t been affected," I eximed btedly. "It seems Jared is quite strategic to seize such an opportunity."


    Then, I asked, "What kind of man is he?"


    As nced at me casually as if it didn''t concern him.


    "Is he outstanding?" I asked again, and of course, As knew what I meant.


    "He''s the youngest military leader in Yare. Quite a tough man, I would say," As said sinctly, leaving it at that.


    I involuntarily shook my head, and the fleeting image of the burly figure in the elevator shed in my mind.


    "No wonder when Trinity returned, she seemed very familiar with the Av family and genuinely concerned about my grandma. From her tone, it seemed that the olddy still regarded her highly. I could tell she had changed."


    I murmured to myself, "Looks like it''s the power of love."


    "Are you very concerned about the Av family?" As grabbed my hand from across the table.


    I looked at him, hesitated momentarily, and then spoke, "To be honest, deep down, I have some... resentment toward the Av family."


    This was the first time I had openly discussed my views on the Av family with As.


    "After all, my mother was


    abandoned by that family. Although


    my mother made the decision herself and gave up the wealth she should have had, shouldn''t the Av family bear some responsibility when my mom died?"


    I just looked at As, and he didn''t refute me.


    "They disagreed with her choice, so they turned a blind eye to their children? And upon knowing that my mother had passed away, they still maintained an indifferent attitude toward me. This puzzles me."N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Apparently, they tried looking for you, and imposters kept showing up. Perhaps they had their own reasons," As said.


    "But I am Lucille''s daughter! When I was at my lowest, they just let me be out there."


    I expressed my dissatisfaction, and then, with a scoff, I continued, "Hmph. I don''t quite ept their way of doing things. Of course, maybe I don''t understand the Av family at all."


    As''s hand sped mine, "This is


    the first time I''ve heard your true thoughts. However, they weren''tpletely indifferent because you were already missing. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have spent 18 years searching for you."


    "If they had cared about their daughter, how could the subsequent events have happened? Although this wasn''t directly their fault, they still had some me." I looked at As and said, "Honestly, it''s a bit heartbreaking."


    "Don''t be upset, I''m here." heforted me.


    Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and I regained control of my emotions. I didn''t know why, but I felt a bit sour thinking that my imposter was still a part of the Av family.


    Even Trinity told me she had shown the olddy my photos. Then why would she still keep an imposter of me by her side?


    After the waiter finished serving the dishes and left, As handed me my cutlery. "Let''s eat. Don''t be angry. I will get it back for you in the future, but we can''t let our son go hungry."


    I chuckled and took the cutlery from him. "Be careful not to be disappointed if it''s not a son we''re having here."


    "I''ll never be disappointed."


    "Since when did you be so good at sweet-talking?" I nced at him sideways, feeling ecstatic inside.


    "You''re the only one who can make me do this." As smirked at me.
