"He didn’t say anything," Evelina said, "But once, when he was drunk, he held the badge and was shouting sothing like ’I’m sorry.’
Edward couldn’t help but squint his eyes. Sorry... What exactly is Asher sorry for?
Suddenly, Evelina seed to think of sothing and exclaid, "Could it be that this badge actually belongs to Asher’s old lover who’s now deceased? And... could Mabel Quinn actually be Asher’s biological daughter? He’s been lying to , saying she’s adopted?! Is the paternity test also fake?!"
Evelina’s guess made Edward furrow his brows. Could it be that Mabel is Asher’s and Clover’s child? Impossible! Judging by Mabel’s age, the tiline simply doesn’t add up.
Moreover, with Asher’s character, even if he really liked Clover, he probably wouldn’t have done that.
Evelina was still speculating to herself, continuously talking about her various guesses, while Edward had already stood up and headed towards the eting’s exit.
Could it be that the badge Asher holds really belongs to Clover? And does Mabel have anything to do with Clover?
Thoughts seed even more chaotic. Was the badge given to Asher by Clover before she disappeared, or after she disappeared? Did Asher actually find Clover and got this badge from her?
If Asher really found Clover, then why has he never ntioned it to him? Could it be... Edward’s face grew increasingly pale, and even his steps beca unsteady...

The atmosphere... Was truly awkward! Alice Conley muttered to herself, especially at this mont, sitting beside her was Dorian Howards, with his handso face displaying a kind of smile that was all facade and no real emotion, defying any description of ’fake’!
Even so, Alice couldn’t help but praise her future husband’s looks. Despite the obvious fake smile, he still looked dignified and gentle!
And at this mont, sitting on the other side of the dining table, was Daxton, looking at the wedding invitation Alice had previously handed him, "Alice, you’re going to marry him?"
"Yes," Alice said, "Sorry, I can’t be your shield anymore."
"It’s okay. Seeing you happy makes happy," Daxton said with a smile, then glanced at Dorian and said to Alice, "If Mr. Howards ever treats you badly, just tell , I’ll help you vent your anger."
Dorian raised his brows at this. Him treating Alice poorly, how could that be possible! This guy wanting to vent anger for Alice, he should give up on that idea.
Unexpectedly, Alice seriously nodded and said, "Sure, just rember to bring Jacob Fletcher at that ti!"
Dorian almost bit his teeth in frustration, just about to defend himself when suddenly he realized why Jacob Fletcher’s na sounded so familiar. He rembered that wasn’t he the guy he saw earlier at the mall with her, the one she had a date with at the chic dining plaza on the top floor?
Her two matchmakers actually knew each other? "So, Mr. Daxton, do you also know this Jacob Fletcher?"
Daxton raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at Alice, "Alice, haven’t you told this Mr. Howards about that matter?" Naturally, what he referred to as ’that matter,’ was the affair between him and Jacob Fletcher.
