"I'm my father's illegitimate daughter. I was only officially acknowledged by the family two years ago," Abby Thorne answered cautiously, afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting her cousin.
When Anna Thorne heard the words "illegitimate daughter," her brow furrowed instantly.
In her entire life, there were no two words she hated more than "illegitimate daughter"!
Ashley Bowen was the illegitimate daughter of her own father and Empress June! When she found out, she'd nearly had a complete breakdown.
She never imagined that the man who had loved her and her mother so much could have betrayed them so long ago.
So, her gaze toward Abby Thorne turned hostile. She stood up and slowly walked toward her.
Abby Thorne, somewhat intimidated by Anna Thorne's powerful aura, kept backing away.
"Well then, why don't you tell me your purpose for coming to the Thorne family today."
