Chapter 1406


    Once inside, Ashlynn asked, “Where’s Dad?”


    “They’re still in thepany, but they’re definitelying back for dinner,” Beth said.


    Ashlynn could not help but check on Beth’s expression, but she could not find anything. It was as if


    nothing had happened.


    “I’ll give him a call. Wait here.” Beth took the phone and went outside to make a call.


    Ashlynn thought, “If Mom is calling Dad, why is she avoiding me?”


    Then, she could not help but look at the study.


    What the hell was in the envelope…


    Ashlynn secretly went into the study while Beth was away.


    The envelope was on the table.


    Then, Ashlynn picked up the envelope and took out the photos inside.


    The photos were of… Marshall and another woman.


    The two appeared at the jewelry store with the woman still in Marshall’s arms, and there was another


    photo of them standing next to the car together.

    No matter how she looked at the photos, it did not seem like nothing was happening between them.


    Beth must have realized something was up, which was why her face turned pale.


    However…Marshall was such a great dad! Would he actually do something like this? His concern toward


    Beth did not seem fake!


    When Beth returned from the phone call, Ashlynn was already sitting on the sofa, looking as usual.


    Half an hourter, Marshall and Jeremy returned.


    “Sigh. It’s been a busy week, and I’m exhausted,” Jeremy said as he leaned back on the sofa, “the Lloyd


    Group is much morefortable.”


    “It’s best for you to get rid of such thoughts,” Beth said, “in the Hilton family, you won’t get the inheritance


    just because you’re a close family member. If you and your sister are not qualified, we’ll choose from


    other people in the Hilton family.”


    “They can have it.” Jeremy could not care less.


    “Why are you so unambitious?” Beth was puzzled. “They said that sons resemble their mothers, but why


    aren’t you like me at all?”


    Marshallughed. “Then he must be like me.”


    “That can’t be. You’ve always been serious about your work. Look at him. He only knows how to enjoy


    and have fun.” Beth shook her head, expressing that she was angry yet found it funny.


    “It means that you gave Ashlynn all the advantages and gave me some bad edges. Sigh. You favored


    your daughter more than your son since we were still in your womb. I object,” Jeremy said.


    Ashlynn pursed her lips and smiled. “In my opinion, Jeremy is excellent. Although he likes to y, he


    does


    things properly. He’s a man who will stand up at critical moments.”


    To be frank, Ashlynn’s analysis was very urate.


    Jeremy was indeed such a person, and his ears were slightly red from beingplimented.


    Beth and Marshall naturally understood their son’s character. This was also an advantage, and it


    comforted them a lot.


    However, Beth was strict about everything, especially about thepany.


    She wanted to raise her children to be the best they could be.


    “Ash, do you have something you like to do?” Beth asked. “No matter what you want to do, Dad and I will


    support you unconditionally.”


    “Me too,” Jeremy said.


    Ashlynn did not expect Beth to ask her about this, and she was caught off guard.


    Moreover, she had something else on her mind now.


    Ashlynn wondered how Beth could still be so calm in front of Marshall after discovering such a big thing,


    and she even seemed to be in a good mood.


    Just how mentally strong was she? Was this normal?


    Ashlynn suddenly thought of the strange words Beth had said that day when she helped her clean the


    wound on her back.


    Was it because… Beth already knew? So she epted it?


    “Ash?” Beth’s voice sounded.


    Ashlynn returned to her senses. “Ah?”


    “What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?” Beth was worried.


    “I was wondering if your back is healed,” Ashlynn said.


    Beth’s heart felt as if it were soaked in the warmth andfort of a hot spring, and all her fatigue from a


    day’s work was gone.


    “It’s healed and doesn’t itch anymore,” Beth said.


    “For now…I don’t have anything in particr I want to do. But, if I like something, I’ll surely tell you,”


    Ashlyn said.


    In fact, she had a dream when she was studying-To enter the top 500panies, and after gaining work


    experience, she would open her ownpany and be the boss.
