Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Back to Oceanview City

Adrian also comforted Nora immediately, “Mom, it has been so many years. Maybe my sister has been

adopted by a good family and living a decent life. Don’t be so worried.”

It would be fine If he stayed silent. But now, his words made things even worse.

Nora was so angry that she burst into tears and accused him angrily. “You are so heartless! She’s your

sister! She was lost when she was born! How can she live a decent life now?

You and your brothers are all doing well now. Can’t you just try your best to find out the whereabouts of

your sister?”

The more Nora talked, the more upset she became. “It’s all my fault. When I was in labor, I traveled so

far away with your aunt, and the earthquake caused premature delivery.

My daughter was born in chaos, and she was lost immediately. I don’t deserve to be a mother! It’s all

my fault!”

She covered her face and couldn’t help crying bitterly while suppressing her voice. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Adrian felt a bit wronged.

He and his brothers certainly had tried to find their lost sister all these years.

Especially his elder brother, Steven. No matter how busy he had been at work these years, he had

always been very concerned about finding his younger sister.

What Steven was most passionate about was funding various orphanages and welfare institutions.

Nora was very sad. Rebecca stood aside, feeling very embarrassed.

She didn’t know whether she should comfort Nora or not.

Rebecca was quite special in this family because she was the daughter of Donna’s adopted daughter.

For many years, Donna had always kept Rebecca by her side as if she were her granddaughter.

Although Donna had never mentioned her reason, everyone knew that Donna just couldn’t let go of the

great granddaughter who had been lost before she had a chance to meet her.

Having Rebecca by her side was more like a comfort and an illusion, as if her great-granddaughter had

never lost.

Regarding this point, Nora respected her mother-in-law and never expressed any objection publicly.

But deep down, Nora felt unhappy. She didn’t like Rebecca living in this manor and accepting Donna’s

doting while enjoying all the best things in this family.

All of this should belong to Nora’s own daughter.

Besides, the person Nora mentioned who took her to a distant place when she was about to give birth

was Rebecca’s mother.

Standing beside the sofa, Rebecca suddenly felt uneasy.

She had been pampered since she was a child. Since the Moxley family doted on her a lot, she had

always been superior to others and could get everything she liked if she wanted to.

Even the three boys of the Moxley family couldn’t be as carefree and happy as she was.

Rebecca hardly ever envied anyone, but she couldn’t help but envy that woman whom she had never

met countless times, the real daughter of the Moxley family.

Chapter 150 Back to Oceanview City.

In the end, Rebecca felt that she didn’t have the courage to comfort Nora. She chose to turn around

and pretend to fetch a drink not far away.

Behind her, Nora cried so much that her voice was a little hoarse. Adrian found out, so he got up to

fetch some water

for her.

He approached Rebecca, took a glass of warm water on the counter, and sneered. “I just don’t get it.

Why do you like Ashton? You’re indeed not picky, aren’t you? You even consider a piece of trash as

treasure.”

Rebecca felt a bit uneasy. Her face turned from livid to pale repeatedly.

“Who said I like him? Don’t you know me, Adrian? I just want to marry someone so that I can get some

shares. Otherwise, when your sister returns, I will be kicked out and have nothing. Wouldn’t that be too

miserable?”

Adrian looked disgusted. “Since you know I have a sister, don’t call my name so intimately. You’re not

my sister.”

“Okay,” said Rebecca indifferently. She never intended to please anyone, took the wine, and went

directly to Ashton.

Ashton was stopped by a female boss and was chatting with her, which made Rebecca very annoyed..

Adrian said behind her, “Are you sure getting the shares is not an excuse? Do you really have a crush

on Ashton? Your taste is so poor.”

Rebecca didn’t respond. She hurried over to hold Ashton’s arm and gave that female boss a hostile

look.

‘Ashton, what are you two talking about?”

Ashton avoided her hand calmly, took out his mobile phone, and left with an excuse. “I need to answer

this.”

Joseph took Deborah back to his residence directly.

Deborah was in a good mood today. After all, Getting the divorce certificate was even more delightful

than winning

the lottery.

At this time, the reporters outside were still focusing on her, so it was not a good time to go out and

celebrate.

After she returned home and gave her divorce agreement to Joseph, she sat on the sofa and read the

news on the

Internet.

Joseph said he would send the divorce agreement to his lawyer for review to ensure there was nothing

wrong with it.

Ashton’s sudden agreement to divorce was a bit too strange.

Sitting next to Deborah, Joseph contacted the lawyer Steven had introduced to him.

After sending the divorce agreement, the lawyer said he had to read it carefully first and would give

Joseph a reply

soon.

Originally, the lawyer should have read the divorce agreement before the divorce procedures were

completed.

But when Deborah was at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was a little too eager.

She was afraid that Ashton would go back on his word. Seeing that he was quite straightforward, and

the divorce agreement was drawn up by herself, it was almost impossible for there to be any problems.

Therefore, Deborah hastily signed and completed the formalities.

While the lawyer was checking the agreement, Deborah sat on the sofa while browsing the news.

Soon, she saw the Back to Oceanview City

74.75%

media posting the screenshot of Ashton’s latest post.

She opened the picture and thought it was fake.

Then, she found Ashton’s Twitter page and opened It. The post that was mentioned by the media was

at the top of the

page.

He actually posted it himself.

Public opinion on the Internet also began to change, and there were almost no accusations and insults

against

Deborah.

“Since the two broke up peacefully three years ago, and now that the formalities have been completed,

they have nothing to do with each other.”

“They’ve left this matter behind. Why should we worry about it? Come on, let’s focus on some other

gossip.”

Some netizens also commented, “Since this matter is so simple, why didn’t Mr. Mullen give Mr. Black

and Deborah his blessing? Can’t he let go of Deborah?”

But soon, someone replied, “Are you serious? They broke up and divorced. Why does he have to bless

his ex-wife? Why don’t you go to your ex-boyfriend and wish him happiness with his current girlfriend?”

“That’s right. Since they’ve become strangers, they don’t have to care about each other anymore. It’s

just an explanation, and there’s no need to overthink it, right?”

Deborah was a little dumbfounded.

She didn’t know what had happened to Ashton that made him change his attitude completely.

He agreed to divorce her without hesitation, and now he deliberately posted on Twitter to solve the

public opinion problem for her.

Could it be that he had been haunted by nightmares recently because he had done too many evil

deeds so that he wanted to compensate her somehow?

Deborah handed the phone to Joseph. “Ashton posted on Twitter. It seems that we don’t have to avoid

the media anymore. Why don’t we go back to Oceanview City?”

In her memory, she had lived in Oceanview City for two years.

For her, those two years were free and smooth.

Deborah really wanted to go back to Oceanview City. After staying in Richmond for this period, nothing

that happened

was pleasant.

And if she returned to Oceanview City, she didn’t have to stay under the attention of the media.

There were colleagues and friends she knew, and she could go back to her old life.

The matter with Ashton was temporarily over.

However, Richmond gave her the feeling that she was unfamiliar with the place.

Joseph took Deborah’s mobile phone and looked at it for a long time before he came back to his

senses. He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Suddenly, he felt a bit restless.

Ashton suddenly became abnormal, but Joseph didn’t know why.

Get Bonus

Not long after, the lawyer replied to Joseph, “I have read it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with the

divorce agreement. But there is one thing that maybe I should tell you.”

“I asked someone to check the two properties allocated to Ms. Shepherd in the agreement. They are

worth more than 200 million dollars, and their locations are excellent. It is estimated that there is still

much room for appreciation.”
