Chapter 160: Something Always Felt Off

Audrey Woodwind finally kept quiet, having achieved her purpose. With each word she spoke earlier, the faces of the Reed family had darkened bit by bit. They had considered the possibility that Amber was after their money.

"Back when we of the Reed family sent out wedding invitations across Ashbury for Jasper's wedding, Natalie Whittaker disappeared the day before the ceremony," Garrett said discontentedly. "She made Jasper and our family the laughingstock of Ashbury. To think that she raised a daughter with such character, like mother, like daughter!"

"Father," Damian called out, looking at Jasper Reed's expression and stopping his father from continuing.

Jasper Reed, lips pursed, supported his temple with his hand as if lost in memories. Natalie Whittaker had vanished before their wedding without a trace, and the Reed family had written her off as a betrayer. Yet, deep down, he felt that wasn't the case.

When he had first saved the severely injured Natalie Whittaker, he knew her background was complicated, and even with the Reed family's resources, they couldn't uncover her past. As the eldest son of the Reed family, he was raised to be cautious and avoid trouble.

Yet, he had cared for Natalie Whittaker day and night, falling for her star-like eyes despite knowing she kept many secrets. He had proposed to her, only for her to leave without a word. Why? They were deeply in love, and she was pregnant with his child.

Over the years, he never stopped searching for Natalie Whittaker, and when news of Amber came, it was accompanied by the revelation that Natalie had been dead for years. That day, his heart had turned to ash, yet he was relieved that Natalie had left him a daughter.

He swore to treat their daughter well, presenting her with the best, hoping to make her a princess to compensate for the nineteen years they lost. But upon meeting Amber, he couldn't feel close to her, even as she sweetly called him "Dad." Amber, though beautiful, bore no resemblance to them except for her eyes, slightly reminiscent of Natalie Whittaker's.

Especially today, after learning of Amber's disgraceful actions in Ensford, he realized she had tarnished her own reputation before seeking refuge in Ashbury. Watching those news reports, he couldn't believe these were acts of his and Natalie Whittaker's daughter. Natalie was noble and kind; her daughter couldn't possibly turn out this way.
