Chapter 310
Anastasia and Salma returned to their hotel room. Salma remained silent, feeling a sense of shame
when faced with her daughter.
“Mom, you barely ate anything at The Regal Pte. Do you want something to eat? You can rest after
you’ve had something.” Anastasia suggested, “You could go and freshen up first.”
Salma’s leg injury had healed, and she could ditch the crutches. This broughtfort to Anastasia.
Hesitantly, Salma spoke up, “Ana, I’m sorry. Your dad and I shouldn’t have lied to you. I wasn’t really
sick.”
“Yeah, I know.” Anastasia responded lightly, “Mom, just eat and rest. Don’t think about anything else.
We’ll go back to Riverdale when you’re ready.” For Anastasia, there was no rush. As long as she could
help her mother work through this, nothing else mattered.
Anastasia’s reaction only made Sálma feel more ashamed. Clenching her fists, she said, “It’s my fault. I
let your dad fool me again. They really crossed the line. I thought your dad had changed, that he
genuinely epted you. I didn’t realize they were still after you.”

“Mom, don’t me yourself. You couldn’t see his true colors twenty years ago. These people have
be more cunning over the years. It’s normal that you were fooled.” Anastasia shrugged it off.
“Ana, I can’t ept this.” Salma couldn’t bear it anymore. Who could stand being lied to over and over
again? Emotions could change quickly. One minute she was deeply in love, and the next, she might be
repulsed.
Taken aback, Anastasia asked, “So, Mom, what do you want to do?” She thought her mother would be
devastated. After such a blow, she expected her mother to be in low spirits, sad and upset. Instead,
Salma seemed to have found her fighting spirit.
Hesitant, Salma asked, “Ana, about taking one-third of the Morton family’s fortune, can you make that
happen?”
Anastasia looked up, stunned, “Wait, Mom, are you serious? I was just throwing words out there earlier,
trying to get them to back off”
“I’m serious,” Salma insisted, “Your dad and Ashley have always looked down on others because of
their wealth and power. The Morton family also looked down on me. Now I want everything they owe
me. They brought this on themselves.”
Anastasia digested her mother’s decision, scratching her head. Whether her mother was deep in love
or engrossed in her career, she always gave Anastasia a headache.
Seeing Anastasia’s silence, Salma pressed further, “Ana, can you do it? You’re Tavon’s daughter. You
should have a im. We could take them to court, right?”
Salma’s hopeful gaze made it impossible for Anastasia to refuse. “Um, I’ll consult with awyer first.”
Anastasia said, “Mom, as your daughter, I’ll make sure justice
is served.”
‘Hearing Anastasia say this made Salma feel a little better. Salma enjoyed her dinner heartily.
Anastasia was surprised by her mother’s renewed spirit. When she
returned to her own room, Herman called. Anastasia told him everything. “Here’s the scoop: after
everything that’s happened, my mom’s full of fight. She’s tougher than ever. You’ll soon see a
showdown between an ex-lover and a daughter against a sleazy man.”
Hermanughed, “I can’t wait. Can I help in any way?”
“Tavon is crafty and stingy. Getting him to part with a third of his wealth is like asking him to give up his
life. It’s a tough sell.” Anastasia asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”
“I don’t have any at the moment.” Herman thought for a moment, and said, “However, your husband
can potentially reduce the Morton family’s assets by a third.
Anastasiaughed, “So, would that be like ying a prank on my own dad?”
Anastasia didn’t take this seriously. Such a n wasn’t feasible. If it involved businesspetition, it
would be moreplicated. And it wouldn’t make Tavon truly feel the pain and realize his
mistake.
