Asher’s eyes narrowed subtly as he shot Be a deep, scrutinizing look.


    This younger sister of his was a real opportunist who did not y by the rules.


    A tiny gap was all she needed to flip the situation and catch her opponents off guard.


    Memphis’s face went rigid. He had not expected Be to ask him about this!


    “Going by your expression, you definitely know something,” Be said. Her gaze was cold and cynical.


    “I… I do,” Memphis stuttered, swallowing hard. His voice trembled as he confessed, ” Because… That


    child… Is mine and Rosalind’s…”


    Both of the Thompson siblings were left bewildered!


    Be’s small hand clenched with excitement. Her gamble with the question paid off handsomely!


    “What’s the whole deal? Exin in detail,” Asher demanded, his voice icy and pressing. Memphis


    exined, “I… I used to work as a fitness coach at a high-end gym in Meridan. I met Rosalind when I


    was her personal trainer… And, well, things escted. She was particrly alluring and was quite


    forward in seducing me. Over time, we ended up together.”


    Be raised an intrigued eyebrow. “Go on.


    Memphis continued, “But we both had an unspoken understanding that our rtionship was just a


    casual fling. Rosalind always had other men around her, and I was just one of them. Later, there was a


    time when we experimented with some drugs. She got high, and we didn’t use any contraceptives …


    Even though she took a morning-after pill afterward, it isn’t 100% safe. Not long after, she found out


    she was pregnant.”


    Be blinked and thought, ‘Well, well… Looks like Rosalind was even into drugs. The more you dig, the


    more surprises you find!’


    She asked, “With Rosalind’s ruthless personality, she surely wouldn’t have kept the child. So why did


    she go through with the pregnancy?”


    “She imed she had a naturally weak body and that she wouldn’t be able to conceive again if she got


    an abortion. She said no prestigious family would ept a barren daughter-inw. So, she reluctantly


    went ahead and gave birth to the child,” Memphis exined.


    The topic of children has always been a sensitive one for Be. This man’s words had clearly struck a


    chord of pain in her, but she quicklyposed herself. Her voice was cold as she asked, “Where is


    that child now?”


    “I… I only know she’s in a welfare home in the southern province of Meridan. The girl is around two or


    three years old now… Apart from that, I know nothing else!” Memphis


    confessed.

    Memphis did not dare to conceal anything further. Unfortunately, he was heartless and had never once


    bothered to visit his daughter. He could only provide this limited information after racking his brain for


    details.


    “Hah! People like you are the greatest insult to all parents in the world,” Asher angrily dered. “That is


    your child, and you just discard her like trash without caring to check up on her?”


    “Well, it’s not like wepletely don’t care… I heard Rosalind’s mother has been privately keeping


    tabs on my daughter. After all, the moment the child was born, Rosalind’s mother took her away. That


    woman must know where my daughter is!” Memphis could not bear to be tormented again, so he


    revealed another crucial piece of information.


    Be’s bright eyes flickered with determination, having made up her mind about something. She turned


    to look at her eldest brother.


    As if with an unspoken understanding, Asher also looked at her. When the siblings locked eyes, they


    understood each other without saying anything.


    At that moment, the door to the basement opened, and a bodyguard hastily entered, holding


    Memphis’s phone.


    “Miss, there’s an iing call,” the bodyguard reported.


    With a cold nce at the screen, Be took the phone and asked, “Who is Ashley?”


    Memphis flinched and swallowed hard, wiping his nose. “It’s… Rosalind…”


    “Answer it. You talk to her,” Be instructed.


    Be leaned down, extending the phone toward him with a frosty gaze. “No tricks, no nonsense. Act


    like nothing happened. Don’t alert her.”


    Memphis nodded frantically, obedient as a dog.


    He answered the call. “Hello, Ashley. Why are you calling sote? Did you miss me?”


    “Don’t tter yourself.” Rosalind paused and asked in a low voice, “You haven’t caused me any trouble


    lately, have you? I told you not to act impulsively and to wait for my instructions. You haven’t messed


    things up, right?”


    Memphis could only grit his teeth and say, “No, since you didn’t give the signal, I didn’t dare to act


    recklessly.”


    Be lowered her longshes, a faint smirk ying on her lips.
