Chapter 1273

"Yes, they do. I have informed them about it. I think Mrs. Hilton and Mr. Hilton will be back soon, won't they?” Aunt Cher said and then looked at Ashlynn unpleasantly. “It's such an important family event. Should Ashlynn avoid sitting at the same table?”

"Aunt Cher, Ashlynn is the little missy of our family. Don't you ever let me hear something like this again,” Jeremy said sternly.

“Little missy? There is only one little missy in the Hilton family...” Aunt Cher rebutted.

“Mrs. Hilton has already taken her in as her goddaughter, and she is a part of our family now. You are one of the elder persons within the Hilton family. You should know your manners.” Jeremy shut Aunt Cher up.

They heard the car noises from outside. Jeremy turned around and saw it was Beth's

car.

Marshall and Beth came out of the car.

Two of them came home together.

Ever since Ashlynn got here, they had never come back together before. They always came back one after another.

Therefore, she knew how much they prioritized the dinner with Meredith and

Corentin.

She even saw Beth losing her balance slightly, and Marshall held her hand.

They walked to her, and both Marshall and Beth looked at her without blinking their

eyes.

Especially Beth, who looked terrible. Was she sick?

Ashlynn had so many questions. Why was she looking at me like that? I did not do anything, did 1? She did not have much confidence either. After all, Beth hated everything she did.

Jeremy stopped in front of them. “Are you guys okay?”

Marshall and Beth then regained their senses.

Beth almost burst into tears again.

Marshall looked at Ashlynn and tried hard to remain composed. “Ashlynn, we will enter the house together.”

Ashlynn was a little stunned to be called out, but she responded quickly, taking a step to the side. “Please go inside, Auntie and Uncle.”

“I remembered that Beth had already taken you as our goddaughter, shouldn't you call us... Dad and Mom?" Marshall asked.

Now Ashlynn failed to respond.

Dad and Mom... Was that something she could call? They were the Hiltons, and they were not just any other person.

She looked at Beth at the side carefully. Beth held her head down the whole time as though she was not present.

“Don’t worry. Let's take it slow. Let's go inside,” Marshall said understandingly.

Ashlynn stood there and watched as Marshall supported Beth's hand and entered.

However, when she looked up, her gaze interlocked with Beth's, she was slightly

stunned.

“What are you looking at?" Jeremy asked.

"Was your mother... crying?” Ashlynn saw clearly that Beth's eyes were both red and swollen. She looked like she had been crying for a long time.

“Maybe... She was scolded by my dad.”

Ashlynn was stunned. She was trying to weigh how true Jeremy's remarks were.

Beth was a famous iron lady. She was someone that even the old Mr. Hilton very much respected. How could it be possible that she was scolded into tears by Mr. Hilton himself?

"Why didn’t you greet dad and mom? Are you dumb? This was such a good opportunity. Please make sure you greet them later when we go inside,” Jeremy

asked.

“I don't think this is a good idea.” Ashlynn felt that it was going too fast.

Why did it end up like this?

Not only did they not make her do any chores, but they were treating her so well.

Beth only wanted to put up a show for Corentin when she took her in as her goddaughter.

Could it be...

She understood it now.

It was because Corentin wanted to come here for dinner that they had to play their

part.

Of course, she did not greet them after going inside.

Jeremy pulled her to the side to sit on the couch. She could not sit still.
