Chapter 96
Julia said, “Ms. Fisher came here today. She has been compromising all along for your sake. Even in front of Madam Sonia, she dared not say anything bad about Ms. Sadler.
“If even you disregard Ms. Fisher, who will respect her when she becomes your wife? She might end up being nothing more than a laughingstock in. the eyes of others. They would say that the wife of the Barlow family’s heir is inferior to an outsider.”
After a pause, Julia continued, “Even though the Fisher family may not compare to the Barlow family, Ms. Fisher comes from a respectable background. You’re a perfect match for each other, both in looks and in social status. You and Ms. Fisher were childhood sweethearts. You shouldn’t neglect her.
“And… don’t forget about what happened to your mother. After Mr. Howard married Mrs. Barlow, he raised that actress by his side out of pity. Mrs. Barlow treated her like family. But what happened in the end?
“Not only did she betray Mrs. Barlow, but she also took Mr. Howard away. She even plotted to take Mrs. Barlow’s position. Have you forgotten about Mrs. Barlow’s tragic death? You should know that it was all orchestrated by that actress.”
Back then, Howard Barlow married Gemma Manchester. But within three years, Howard brought back a 14–year–old girl, claiming she was an orphan who had wandered outside and had been sold to a club.
Seeing her being assaulted, Howard took pity on her and brought her back. home.
Over time, Howard developed feelings for this girl, who was 11 years his junior, Renee Sandoval. He tried everything to divorce Gemma.
Howard had already slept with Renee, but due to the reputation of the Barlow family, this matter had to be kept hidden.
When the Barlow family opposed their relationship, Howard chose to leave
ith Renee, forming a new family outside.
Gemma could only live alone. Eventually, during a trip to Sommerdale with Anderson to pay respects to their ancestors, an accident occurred.
Gemma perished in the fire triggered by the explosion, and Anderson barely survived. The accident claimed hundreds of lives, wiping out the entire Manchester family.
15 years had passed since then. How much of this tragedy did the Barlow family remember?
“That’s enough. I don’t need you to remind me of my affairs. Get out.” Anderson’s tone was icy.
Mayra, hiding behind the wall, slowly walked in. “I’m sorry, Andy. I didn’t. mean to eavesdrop. I just wanted to see if you were asleep.”
