Chapter 189

“Seriously, man, you think every pretty girl is like Mom or something? Hanson shot his brother a lad disdain. “Always playing favontes, aren’t you?”

Felix snorted. “Bro, you’re acting weird today. You weren’t like this before”

Glancing back at Kristin who was sitting by the seashore, Felix quietly asked, “You know that chick over there?”

“Kristin, ever heard of her? Hanson replied indifferently.

“Kristin?” Felix wasn’t much for keeping up with local gossip, shaking his head.

The Turner family’s fake heiress,” Hanson scoffed, his dislike for Kristin palpable. “Did time for bladmal and extortion.”

Felix frowned. “That’s pretty judgmental, bro. Have you even met her?”

“Why would I want to meet her?” Hanson said with a snooty air.

“Don’t judge if you don’t know her. Switched at birth, right? That’s something that happened

just a baby. We’re still looking for our own sister. Isn’t she also switched at birth? Whose faut is Felix’s displeasure was evident.

“You think I haven’t been looking?” Hanson retorted, anger seeping through.

“Let’s not talk about the past. Have you seriously looked in the last five years? You always avoid it, not to upset Patty.” Felix sat down. “If the mix–up hadn’t happened, our sister would be the princess of the house

Hanson fell silent, guilt washing over him.

The whole family had sworn to spoil their real sister rotten once they found her.

“And even if Rhett doesn’t like Patty, you have no right to lash out at Kristin. You were out of line today,” Felix warned Hanson again.

Hanson rolled his eyes at Felix. “What, you interested in her? Figures.”
