Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 368 She May Be Your Sister

Using his network of connections, Kurt investigated the Hutton family of Saspiuburg. His reach was wide and in a matter of several days, he had compiled information on all three generations of the Hutton family.

Amelia—with Tony in her arms—and Tiffany were seated next to each other on a sofa while Kurt sat on an armchair facing them.

Glancing at Kurt, Tiffany asked, “Kurt, have you found anything?”

Kurt nodded in affirmative. “It seems the Hutton family is a rather influential family in Saspiuburg. The family is involved in IT, entertainment, and food businesses. They have business in Beshya, Zaprington, and Ordano. The Huttons are a very affluent family. Eleanor Hutton was seen with a son and daughter, which means that, besides Amelia Hutton, she has a son as well. Rumors say that she has another daughter who disappeared when she was six years old and has not been found since.”

Tiffany fell deep into her thoughts as she listened to Kurt.

She turned to look at Amelia, who had not spoken a word yet. After a moment’s thought, she questioned, “Amelia, do you think Mrs. Hutton has mistaken you for her daughter?”

Amelia gently stroked Tony’s hair and replied, “I am a daughter of the Winters family.”

Letting out a snort, Tiffany uttered disdainfully, “Are those people even worthy of being called ‘family?’ Have they even called you once to check up on you ever since you left? I’ve never seen a family as cold and cruel as them! Well, at least they still had some conscience and did not treat you like a cash cow. You have no use for a family like that. It’ll be great if you’re actually related to the Huttons. Mrs. Hutton seems like a woman who adores her children.”

Amelia’s face darkened and grief flashed across her eyes.

Noticing Amelia had fallen into another silence, Tiffany knew she had spoken too much. However, she really was very unhappy with the Winters family. She had never seen such an unloving family and such a lack of affection for one’s own children.

“Amelia, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m lamenting for you. If you really are related to the Hutton family, it would explain the indifference that the Winters family has towards you,” Tiffany explained, trying to persuade Amelia to accept the Huttons. “It seems to me that Mrs. Hutton cares for you. Haven’t you always wanted a complete family? This would make up for the brokenness of your past.”

Amelia continued stroking Tony’s hair quietly for a while. Then, she whispered to Tiffany, “I’ll always be a daughter of the Winters family, even if they don’t love me very much. After all, they paid for me to go to college. I can’t be so ungrateful to dismiss that.”
