Still fixing his gaze steadily at the mother and son, Casper could not help but wonder if Amelia was really this woman’s biological daughter.

Their appalling attitude toward Amelia did not help to assuage Casper’s initial suspicions.

How can a mother be so awful toward her own daughter? Besides, Amelia looks nothing like this woman. I could still see some similarities in Cody’s barely discernible facial features with his mother. But I can’t say the same for Amelia. She doesn’t look like any of these two creatures.

Casper had a strong hunch when he first laid eyes on them. The stark differences in their appearances only strengthened his doubts.

But he could not possibly verify his supposition with the two persons standing before him.

I’ll have to wait till I see Amelia in person before I can gather more information in that regard. Nonetheless, these people need to be taught a lesson.

Casper darted another look at them and knew that he would soon gain an upper hand.

Finally, Hilda broke the silence.

“You’re the one who had called earlier?” she asked tentatively.

Casper nodded.

Hilda’s expression darkened upon Casper’s confirmation.

Cody, on the other hand, gave up concealing his emotions altogether. “Who do you think you are? Look at you, I’ll marry my sister to anyone else before I’ll even consider you! If you think you stand a chance, keep dreaming!” Cody barked.

His language was vulgar and full of profanity, “You must be out of your mind to think that I’ll let Amelia go out with a beggar like you.”
