Chapter 381
Moreover, Berry Furnishings had been working in other cities - it had only moved to Lake City two years ago.
The Chapman family had been a powerful family for generations, and even though it had fallen a little over the past
few years, they were still way ahead of the Berrys.
As such, Ashlyn was a little surprised to hear Mr. Chapman ask about her father.
“Yes, my father’s surname is Berry,” replied Ashlyn calmly.
Mr. Chapman suddenly looked excited as he asked, “I-is your mother called...”
“Dr. Berry!”
Just then, a woman’s shriek suddenly rang up behind Ashlyn.
Ashlyn turned around and saw that it was Candace, the wife of the man she once saved.
“Sorry, Mr. Chapman, I have to work. Please have a safe trip.” Ashlyn hurried over to Cadence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCadence’s husband has been discharged, and the surgery was a success, so what is Cadence doing here?
Mr. Chapman narrowed his eyes as he stared at Ashlyn’s back.
Berry... She looks just like Alice...
Mr. Chapman was determined to figure out just who Dr. Berry truly was.
“Alice had not contacted us in decades, dad, so it’s obvious that she no longer sees you as a father. Why bother
thinking about her?” said Sisley Chapman, who didn’t want to share any portion of the inheritance with anyone.
The way Mr. Chapman reacted to Ashlyn had alerted all the bells in Sisley’s heart.
Even Sisley had to admit that Ashlyn looked a lot like Alice, but that didn’t mean the woman was a part of the family.
“Sisley is right. Alice has always been stubborn, and who knows? Maybe she’s still hiding in a hole somewhere and
being mad at you. She is so immature. It’s a shame that you have always seen her as your favorite,” added
Anthony quickly.
“Shut up!” growled Mr. Chapman before he coughed aloud.
Cough! Cough!
It took the elderly man sometime before he settled down and said, “Alice is still your sister, regardless of what she
did. If I ever find her, I will do my best to make up for all that I owed her.”
Hera was speechless. What the hell? Is Ashlyn going to be taken in as my cousin? Oh, that is just too much! No, f*ck
no! Even if we are somehow related by blood, I will make sure she is never taken back in by the family!

Ashlyn stared strangely at Cadence. “Cadence, what brought you here? Is something up with your husband?”
Cadence shook her head and scanned her surrounding before she hesitantly asked Ashlyn, “Can I have a few
private words with you?”
Ashlyn grinned. “Sure, this way, please.”
Cadence followed Ashlyn into her office.
Cadence’s husband, Landon, would’ve been a cripple if Ashlyn hadn’t operated on him. Cadence had always been
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthankful towards Ashlyn for that.
When the two of them were alone in that huge office, Ashlyn poured Cadence a cup of water and asked, “What is it,
Cadence? You can tell me upfront.”
Cadence sat on the sofa and looked a little uneasy when she turned to Ashlyn. Later, Cadence took an old
photograph out of her bag.
“I saw this in an old album. When I first met you, I thought you looked familiar. It was as if I had seen you before, so
I took the time to think things through at home. That’s when I recalled that you look a lot like the girl who was
bought by a guy in my village.”
“What?” blurted Ashlyn as she stared at the photograph that Cadence was holding.
The photograph was too old and turning yellowish, but it was still clear enough to see everybody’s faces.
“If you don’t believe me, check this photo out,” said Cadence as she handed Ashlyn the photo.
Ashlyn accepted it and examined the person in the photo.
The photo was old, and there were at least seven or eight ladies there, but Ashlyn still saw her mother immediately.
The woman in the middle was none other than Alice Chapman.
Ashlyn turned pale, and her eyes bulged as she stared at Alice in disbelief.
