Chapter 1234: Chapter 1231: Family Feud

Joanna had eaten the paella Madam White made for her and wasn’t hungry at all.

But she knew that Ashton hadn’t eaten much at the banquet, so he must be hungry.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

They walked downstairs hand in hand.

"Mr. Ashton, Ms. Joanna."

The maid placed the freshly cooked late-night meal on the table.

The meal was simple, just two bowls of savory seafood pierogi. As soon as they entered the dining room, Joanna smelled the aroma of pierogi.

Ashton led her to the table, and they sat down side by side.

Although Joanna wasn’t hungry, she couldn’t resist eating two or three pieces of the delicious pierogi.

Ashton ate quietly for a while, recalling the events at the banquet and Madam White’s reluctance to let them leave...

He swallowed the last piece of pierogi in his mouth and looked at Joanna, "What did you and Madam White talk about when she took you away earlier?"

"Hmm?"

Joanna had just swallowed her pierogi and wiped her lips with a napkin, "We didn’t talk about much, just chit-chat."

"You didn’t talk about anything?" Ashton’s eyes flashed slightly.

Could he be wrong?

Did Madam White really just take Joanna for a meal, and not for some other reason?

But Ashton felt that his intuition wouldn’t be wrong.

Tonight, Madam White’s behavior towards Joanna was too enthusiastic and affectionate, way beyond the normal range.

"Well, not exactly. Madam White mentioned some things about her daughter. Ashton, do you know what happened in Madam White’s family back then that made her have to send her own daughter away to be raised by someone else?"

Joanna thought that Ashton had been friends with Gary White for several years, and they were good friends, so Ashton may know the reasons.

What she asked was something Ashton knew.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Family conflicts. Like ancient emperors killing their fathers and brothers for the throne. To save their lives, their family had to flee abroad. At that time, Madam and Mr. White didn’t know if they could escape successfully. Faced with the possibility of losing their lives at any moment, they chose to send their daughter to a trusted subordinate."

"Later, they managed to escape, but they were still not safe abroad, and had to hide for several more years. When they finally settled down and wanted to bring their daughter back, they had already lost contact with their subordinate for a long time."

"After that, the search for her went on for more than ten years. They thought that their subordinate had left Closia, so they were searching in other cities. As you know, looking for someone without any clues is like finding a needle in a haystack."

"So, they searched for more than ten years and couldn’t find their daughter."

"Recently, they finally found out that the subordinate is very likely to be in Closia."

After listening to this, Joanna was stunned for a moment before murmuring, "So, their daughter might be in Closia?"

"Yes," Ashton’s eyes flashed again as he looked deeply into Joanna’s eyes, "Do you know why Madam White was so affectionate towards you tonight?"

"Because I look like her daughter?" Joanna blinked.

"That’s just one reason." Ashton looked deeply into her eyes again, "The main reason, I guess, is that she must think you might be her long-lost daughter."
