Rodney made an appointment with Ashton, but he didnât beat around the bush.
âI called you here today because I want to ask you something about the past. I hope you donât hide it from me.â
Ashton had already guessed that he knew his identity when he heard Rodneyâs words. He was very calm.
âWhat do you want to know?â
âI have a lot of questions. First of all, I want to know why you are pretending to be Ashton.â
Rodney didnât beat around the bush. âSecond, I want to know something about Itzel.â
âIn fact, I didnât mean to pretend to be Ashton.â
Issac young master sighed and told him about the loss of his bag because of the famous painting.
âWhen Ashton died in an accident, I was disheartened and returned to South City. There was no place for Amberâs mother to take me in. At that time, in order to avoid trouble, I used Ashtonâs identity to survive.â âChanning and Shannon, do you know that you are a famous designer?â Rodney asked again.
Issac shook his head. âThere are very few people who know that Iâm a designer. Channing and Shannon only know that Iâm brother and sister with Itzel. They probably donât know that Iâm a designer.â
âI think Channing should know your real identity, because the lost famous painting is now in my hands.â âWhy are those paintings in your hands?â Issac was shocked.
âChanning gave it to me.â Rodney told me about the painting that Channing had painted for him.
Issac said with a wry smile, âIt was really done by him! At that time, Amber told me that Channing had collected a valuable ancient painting. At that time, I suspected that Channing was the one who changed my ancient painting, but I was not completely sure.â
âYou really donât know whatâs good for you. Itâs hard to imagine that the great secretary did such a thing! Itâs just that you have been wronged for so many years.â Rodney sighed with emotion.
It was really pitiful for a genius designer to be killed by a hypocrite like Channing. âItâs all in the past. fame and wealth are nothing more than floating clouds. Iâve lived in seclusion in South City for the past few years. Although Iâve suffered a lot, Iâm still very happy.â Issac was not as angry as Rodney had imagined.
âI really admire you for being able to see through all of this.â Rodney sincerely admired Issac.
The former glory of Issac had suddenly changed from a famous designer to a low-class passer-by. Whether it was the change in identity or life, it was a kind of t*****e for him. It was really not easy for him to become so fearless. Issac smiled faintly.
âAmber doesnât know that Iâm not her biological uncle, so I hope you donât tell Amber that Iâm your son. I hope you can reduce her emotions.â
âDonât worry, I wonât tell her.â Rodney promised.
Everyone could see how much Issacâer cared about Amber. To Amber, Issacâer was her biological uncle. There was no need for him to break this kind of harmony.
âI also have something to ask you about Itzel. You must know her very well, right? What kind of person do you think she is?â Issac was silent for a while before answering with another eight words, âSelfish and evil.â
âAmber should have told you about my mother. I suspect that Itzel must have plotted against my mother.â Rodney felt very sad when he thought of his unconscious mother in the hospital.
He told her that Itzel had helped Shannon and her daughter plot against him and his mother.
âTo be honest, I have always been afraid of blaming her. After all, she is my motherâs best friend. My mother has treated her as a bosom friend all these years, so I have to start from the beginning. I will never wrong a good person or a bad person. Because of this, I have come to you. I have never figured out why Itzel wants to deal with my mother and why she wants to help Shannon, an outsider, to deal with her niece.â
âShe is a person who will not fail to achieve her goal. I donât know why she schemed against your mother, but I know the reason why she helped Shannon deal with Amber. She hates Ashley, so she naturally hates Ashleyâs daughter.â
âAmberâs mother is her only sister. Why does Itzel hate her? Is it because of Reece? But hasnât she already gotten Reece?â
âNo! She never got Reece! Itâs because she didnât get Reece that she hated Ashley.â
âIn addition to Reece and Itzel, have you ever had any other men?â Rodney asked again.
âNo, if she had another man, she wouldnât be so upset about the fragrant lady.â
âBut I found out that Itzel once gave birth to a childâ¦â
âChild? Itzel gave birth to a child? Could it be that youâve made a mistake?â Issacâs face was full of shock.
âYou donât know that she gave birth to a child?â Rodney was also stunned. He thought that he could get some information about Itzel from Issac, but he didnât expect that Issac knew nothing about Itzel.
âI donât know.â Issac shook his head.
Back then, he had been disheartened after encountering such a turn of events. Furthermore, his father and stepmother had both passed away. He had sealed himself up and had no idea what had happened to Itzel. Rodney was very disappointed.
After thinking for a while, he asked, âDo you think itâs possible that Itzelâs child will be Reeceâs?â
âItâs absolutely impossible!â Ashton shook his head. â
Although I donât know much about what happened to her later, she and I are brother and s ister after all. I know a little about her. If the child she gave birth to is really Reeceâs, she will definitely try her best to make use of the child.â
âWho else could it be but Reece?â Rodney frowned.
Did Itzel really have something to do with Shannonâs cousin?
Was that gangster her childâs father?
Back then, Tony was the closest person to Shannon and Itzel. He must have been very clear about what had happened back then. Rodney had originally wanted to find out about these things from Tony.
However, considering the relationship between Tony and Shannon, he was afraid that he would not be able to trust him, so he first went to find Issac.
Now that Issac didnât know the details, it seemed that he had to find Tony to find out more.
Before finding Tony, he had to investigate Tonyâs people. Rodney asked Deon to do this right away. The sooner, the better. After meeting Rodney, Issac was very angry.
He knew that Itzel was not a good person, but he didnât expect her to be so bad. Issac was kind. Although Itzel had done those despicable things to Ashley, she was his sister.
He felt that he should give her a chance. Over the years, he had always thought that Itzel would repent, but he didnât expect that she didnât change at all. In order to separate Amber and Rodney, she could even kill people.
Until now, Issac realized that he couldnât change his behavior. His silence and tolerance wouldnât get Itzelâs remorse. On the contrary, it would boost her arrogance. Itzel had been threatening him with the fact that he wasnât Ashton.
In the past, she didnât want to worry about Amber. In order to live a peaceful life, he chose to endure.
But now, Issac found that he couldnât bear it any longer. He had to find a chance to talk to Amber about this matter, not about Ashton. Ever since she met Rodney in the hospital last time, Celia had already gone to the hospital to visit Rachel.
Of course, she would not be so kind as to hope that Rachel would be fine. She just wanted to attract Rodneyâs attention. Last time, after Rodney took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Celia went home and told Shannon happily.
Shannon was surprised by Rodneyâs change. She guessed that Rodneyâs change must be because of the child in Celiaâs belly. The Barron familyâs desire to have children for generations was very strong. Previously, Rodney was confused by Amber and could not see how good Celia was.
But now, because of Rachelâs coma, he hated Amber. Moreover, Celia was pregnant with twins, so it was impossible for Rodney not to like her. Thinking of this, Shannon thought that the child was a must-have family member, so she told Celia to make use of the child in her belly to move in front of Rodney and attract his attention.
Of course, the reason why Shannon asked Celia to go to the hospital every day was not just to please Rodney, but also to let Celia learn about Rachelâs health condition from the nursing and doctors. She had asked Malone to do something to Rachel before, and Malone told her that it was impossible to do it after he went to the hospital.
Rachelâs ward was the best ward in the hospital. Not only was there a special care unit to keep an eye on Rachel, but there were also security guards keeping an eye on her. When strangers approached Rachelâs ward, security guards came up to ask. The return of the scholar made Shannon very worried.
The hope of taking action was shattered. The situation was very unfavorable to them. Although Rachel was still in a vegetative state, it would be troublesome if she didnât die every day. Itzel also said that there was a precedent that a vegetable would wake up. It was hard to say that Rachel would wake up one day.
They had to know the situation and deal with it quickly. Sure enough, when Rodney and Celia met in the hospital several times in a row, their attitude toward her became better and better.
From the beginning, they didnât ask much about her physical condition, fetus situation, and even asked her about the situation of the pregnancy check-up and if Celia needed him to accompany her.
Rodney actually offered to accompany her in the examination, which made Celia very happy. Since she was pregnant, Celia had been looking forward to such a day in her dreams. In fact, she didnât need to go to the examination at all, but it was too difficult to have a chance to communicate with Rodney intimately like this.
Celia nodded repeatedly and happily went to the Department of native Medicine with Rodney.
Seeing that Celia and Rodney appeared together and said that they were going to have a checkup, the doctor who was doing the checkup for Celia was very surprised.
Hadnât Celia just done it? Celiaâs birth examination had been carried out in the hospital where Itzel was.
Later, in order to get close to Rodney, Celia specially went to the hospital where Rachel was. Itzel was worried that others would find a familiar doctor for Celiaâs birth examination
