Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1250

"I mean, it’s a pity for you," I said calmly, my voice laced with regret.

He looked at me, his anger seemingly abating. He seemed confused by my words.

"You were supposed to be a capable member of the Huffman family, but you've strayed from that path.”

He suddenly looked at me as though he had found someone who finally understood him. With a hint of helplessness in his gaze, he complained, “He’s never valued me.”

"What's your name?" I deliberately stalled for time, wanting to play mind games with him. I was hoping to get some information about where my father was.

"Millard Huffman," he said angrily. "All I remember is my surname, Millard.”

"That’s a pity," I repeated.

He looked at me, growing more impatient. "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."

"Anson gave you your name, right, Millard?” I wanted to confirm this with him.

"Yes, he did." He stood on a stool, studying me.

"He meant for you to remember your original surname, even if you had become part of the Huffman family at the time. That’s why he made Millard your first name. Is that correct?”

"Yes, that's what he was trying to do," he replied.

I boldly continued. My words were blunt, but they seemed to affect him.

"I don't know you, but do you know why I asked your name?" I asked another question.

He looked at me silently.

"You were too impatient. You should have put yourself in Anson's shoes and thought about it from his perspective. If you were Anson and you wanted to groom your successor, would you make a decision like that so lightly? Wouldn’t you test their loyalty?

“How else could he entrust the Huffman family to you? He even gave you the family’s surname, which meant he considered you part of them. What more do you want? Have you ever looked back to see if he did the same for someone else?”

I bombarded him with questions, forcing him to confront his emotions. He didn’t seem to know how to respond.

Seeing his confusion, I pressed on, giving him another dose of harsh truth.
