NOVPUBChapter 1172: 530 Ajang_2 Chapter 1172: 530 Ajang_2 Catherine Liam realized the threat, incredulously questioning, “Could the rumor about him and that wild girl be true?”
Charlotte Aria felt a jolt in her chest, externally cool as she asked, “What rumor?”
“That girl who stole your limelight last time, someone saw your uncle laughing and talking with her in the hospital.
They looked really close.
I bet the wild girl is attracted to your uncle’s family background and actively seduced him.
And your uncle, how old is that girl?
Isn’t he embarrassed to have such a May-December relationship?
The reputation of the Aria family would be the one to suffer if this gets out.”
Charlotte Aria was speechless, “Mom, this is impossible…”
“How is it impossible?” Catherine Liam raised an eyebrow, “Young girls these days are very scheming, they would do anything to marry into a wealthy family.
She’s so flirtatious, it annoys me just looking at her.”
Charlotte Aria thought to herself, no wonder her uncle was so angry to be misunderstood with his own niece like this.
...
“Last time at the auction, she was the center of attention.
I think she did that to pave her way into the Aria family.
This girl is no simple one.”
Charlotte Aria was speechless, listening to Catherine Liam breakdown the situation.
Eventually, she could take no more and left the dining room.
She still hadn’t sorted out her thoughts about Aubree Groove’s origins and didn’t know how to respond.
If her uncle acknowledges Aubree, would there still be a place for her in the Aria family?
The grandmother loved her uncle dearly, she would definitely love his child too.
After all, she shared no blood ties with her grandmother and uncle.
How could she compare with the bonds of blood?
Charlotte Aria was extremely agitated, the overwhelming thoughts nearly driving her insane.
No, she absolutely couldn’t let her uncle and Aubree recognize each other.
She must calm down and think carefully about how to plot this out.
“That ungrateful girl, always siding with outsiders.
I raised her for nothing…And here I am, worrying for her…”
Catherine Liam muttered, when suddenly her phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Catherine glanced around before leaving the dining room and briskly walking to the bedroom.
“Seraphine, why are you calling now?
Is something urgent?”
A girl’s aggrieved sobs came from the phone.
They started as soft sobs and eventually turned into loud, heart-wrenching cries.
It was as if she had suffered great wrongs.
Catherine Liam quickly comforted, “Cousin, I know you’ve been wronged.
I will have that girl pay for this sooner or later.”
“Cousin…I know I’ve made a big mistake.
I can’t face anyone.
I’ve shamed you.
What’s the point of living…I might as well die…”
“Don’t be impulsive.” Catherine Liam anxiously advised, “Think about your parents.
Can you bear to let them send off their own child?
If you really die, then you are giving them what they want.”
“But cousin, what should I do?
No hospital in Lostswa would take me in.
My reputation is entirely ruined.”
Catherine Liam thought for a moment, “Don’t worry about work, cousin will help you find one.
Lostswa is so big, I don’t believe we won’t find a job.”
The other side sobbed a bit, seemingly hesitant, “Cousin, my dad wants me to marry Adam Fish…I…I don’t want to get married.”
“Adam Fish?
He’s nothing more than a piece of scum.
How can your dad send you into a living hell?”
The Liams were a small and humble family.
They had only recently risen to prosperity by attaching themselves to the Arias.
Catherine’s aunt had, in her young days, eloped with a security guard, only to return when life got tough.
The family, relying on the financial support of the Liams, couldn’t have had it easy.
When Seraphine Moore was young, her parents fought often.
She lived with Catherine Liam for some time, leading to Catherine’s unusual affection for her.
And this Adam Fish, he was Seraphine’s father’s nephew from his old rural hometown.
Hearing that his uncle had become wealthy, he moved to Lostswa and got a government job, thanks to the Liams’ connections.
To Catherine’s understanding, Adam Fish was a troublemaker, not an easy one to deal with.
Did Seraphine’s father lose his mind?
Even if Seraphine’s reputation was completely ruined, she didn’t deserve to be married off to a scumbag like that.
“My dad says this is the only way out for me now that my life’s been ruined.
When I disagreed, they locked me in the house…”
“This is too much, what about your mom?
What does she think?”
“My mom…I haven’t seen her for days.”
“Probably off playing mahjong again.” Catherine Liam was getting a headache, “Don’t worry, cousin will definitely help you.
Even if you have to get married, you can’t marry a piece of scum like Adam Fish.”
“Cousin, I don’t want to get married.
Even my own mother hasn’t treated me as well as you did.
I just want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
