"As the only direct blood heir of the Hill Family, the compliments you’ll receive from now on will only grow, never lessen. This really isn’t much."
Selina was silent for two seconds. "...There’s no need to go over the top."
Getting used to it was one thing, but even if she returned to the Hill Family with such an identity, she didn’t expect to be called Miss everywhere she went.
"Alright."
Aaron’s expression carried a trace of regret. "I thought you’d like it."
He waved for the fleet of cars to leave first, then said, "Shall we grab a meal together?"
Selina nodded in agreement.
Aaron simply wanted to meet the sister his father and grandmother had thought about for so many years. He couldn’t help but think of his aunt—Selina’s birth mother—who had passed away in the dead of winter many years ago. And the root cause of it all...
"Selina, would you like to come back to City N with me?"
Selina looked up. "I have no interest in City N."
Others might envy the Hill Family’s wealth, or the status of being their heiress, but Selina had little attachment to such things. She truly didn’t care.
Aaron could naturally see her sincerity and sighed softly. "I know you look down on all this. I’m not asking you to come back because of it. I just think... you’d want to personally avenge my aunt—your mother."
Selina’s eyes narrowed sharply.
"I’m sure you’ve uncovered plenty of the rumors about the Hill Family." Aaron paused, his tone meaningful. "The tragedy never really started with Hannah. Yes, that woman was despicable and certainly played a part in your and my aunt’s suffering, but she wasn’t the root cause. Do you understand me?"
Selina did. Her voice was even, betraying no emotion. "The root cause is Matt?"
Matt—the younger brother to Charles, though not by blood. The son of the Hill family’s former chauffeur, taken in and raised as an adopted son, treated as family.
Aaron said, "You could say that—for now, the root cause is Matt. But with no evidence, even if the Hill Family quietly erased every trace of Matt’s line, the truth could never be made public. Matt would always be considered Hill Family."
Selina’s eyes narrowed again.
"Besides," Aaron continued, "back then Matt schemed relentlessly to drive out our grandparents, to force out my father and my aunt. But now our grandmother has returned, and my father has taken back control of the Hill Family."
"Hannah and Matt were partners in crime. She too schemed to drive away my aunt and steal everything from her. Don’t you want revenge now?"
Selina met Aaron’s gaze.
"And more importantly..."
Aaron exhaled softly. "Selina, you actually have an older brother. A real one."
"What?!"
Selina was genuinely shocked this time, her eyes widening as she snapped her head up.
"Do you know why the Morris Family built up such an enormous lie? Why Joe and Grandma Morris both knew it was false, yet Kyle still clung to the belief that he was my aunt’s son?"
"It’s because the records show that before Kyle was born, my aunt truly was pregnant."
"But that child had nothing to do with Joe. He was the son of my aunt and her fiancé—no, they were already married by then. He was their firstborn child, your brother. But right after birth, Hannah schemed to have him taken away. To this day, his whereabouts remain unknown."
"My father and I have searched in countless places, following every lead, yet we still haven’t found him. Matt and Hannah swore he died, but..."
