When the Family 47

Chapter 47 Found Dominic

Wow, even this tiny Vienna Hotel is crawling with Lawson family people now?

That woman with Asher must be his poor, struggling mother….

Jean remembered the novel clearly: Asher’s mother was named Mindy.

That’s right–Asher’s last name wasn’t Lawson because he knew who his father was. It was because his mother also had the last name Lawson.

The guy literally took her surname.

So if he ever reconnected with his paternal side later in the story, he wouldn’t even have to change his name. Convenient.

Mindy wasn’t educated. She had worked as hotel staff when she was younger, and somewhere along the way, through a strange twist of fate, ended up in a not–so–innocent entanglement with a major player from the Lawson family… and that’s how Asher came to be.

And now, here she still was–working hard at the same kind of job, raising her son the best she could. Respect.

Suddenly-

Jean felt someone watching her. Hard.

She blinked, pulled herself out of her thoughts.

Asher had spotted her.

The boy’s cool gaze landed on her, deep and unreadable,

“Asher, do you know her?” Mindy asked gently, glancing at her son, noticing the way he kept staring

Asher didn’t answer right away.

He was just… watching.

Watching to see if she’d make the same face everyone else did. The same face he’d memorized by now. The mix of disgust, superiority, pity….

Ever since people had learned about his family background, he’d seen that expression more times than he could count.

But Asher had never let it get to him. Not really. He didn’t feel shame He wasn’t embarrassed. He was just… determined. To climb higher. To be stronger than anyone else.

And then-
