Chapter 33: A Gap

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Actually, when her mother died, Toya, who was six years old, had become sensible. She knew that her mother had left her forever, and she was sad.

But Anna and Carter didn’t even talk to her, let alone comfort her.

Each time Carter tried to get close to Toya, Anna pulled him away.

Later, her five brothers left the Madison family villa with their wives and children. Her only sister also married someone within a year.

Her brothers’ new home was actually not very far away. They would still come back occasionally. It was just that her father did not allow them to get too close to her, so she had no interactions with these brothers.

And her eldest brother, Brown Madison, had never appeared again. She had asked her father, and he had only said that he had moved farther away and would not return.

It was only when Toya was in her teens that she heard from the servant that her eldest brother had fallen ill not long after moving out of the house. He died after being bedridden for half a month. When the funeral was held, Anna requested Hernandez to attend, but was rejected by Hernandez in the end.

The day of the funeral was coincidentally her mother’s birthday. She remembered that it had rained that day and her father had brought her to her mother’s grave to offer flowers. He had stood there for a long time.

In the future, on that day every year, she and her father would go to her mother’s grave to visit her.

Before Toya knew about Brown’s death, she hadn’t had much speculation about her mother’s death.

Her mother died in a car accident. The car accident happened when she returned from the hospital.

Her father had told her that it was an accident.

Later she asked her father again. His father said that it was not an accident, but the person who arranged the car accident was not her brother, Brown, but one of his enemies.

Over the past two years, her father’s health had been deteriorating and he had been telling her about more and more things.

Regarding her mother’s car accident, although it was arranged by her father’s vengeful enemies, it was Brown who leaked news of her whereabouts that ultimately led to her death.

His father had found out about it not long after her mother’s accident. He had called his five sons into the study and told them that Brown, the original family heir, had betrayed the family. He had disappointed him, so he had to choose a new heir from among them.

Brown was extremely regretful when he heard that. He had revealed on the spot that he had betrayed the family because of their instigation. They had told him that when Mrs. Rivera gave birth to a son, the power of the Madison family would definitely be handed to the father, the youngest son. That was why he had made a huge mistake on the spur of the moment.

Her father did not expect his sons to be so greedy. He was so angry that he threw everything on the table at their faces. In the end, he did not choose any of them to be his successor.

They were all driven out one by one, and Brown was directly banned from entering the Madison family villa by her father.

Brown had completely lost his right of inheritance and was ostracized by them because he had exposed the ambitions of his other brothers. He couldn’t accept it and fell ill.

He fell ill.

After Brown died of illness, his wife moved back with her family with Anna and Carter. She lived in another city and never took a step into the Madison family villa again.

At the end of last year, Hernandez, who was no longer as healthy as before, accidentally caught a cold from the cold north wind. The brothers closest to him immediately packed their luggage and moved back to the Madison family villa. They said that they wanted to take good care of their father, but they were actually fighting for the right to succeed the family.

Even her sister, Fisher, was not to be outdone. She moved in with her husband and children.

But as a married daughter, Fisher had no chance of winning against her brothers in vying for the Madison family’s inheritance. But she wanted to at least get a piece of the pie even if she couldn’t get it all.

Hernandez had operated this business his entire life. It was not only about money, but also about power.

So she figured out a way to pick up Carter and Anna as well and involved them in this fight.

However, how could these two children, who had not even finished school, be a match for these uncles? Thinking about it, their situation in the Madison family was not much better than Toya’s.

It was only because of Toya’s mother’s death and Brown’s death that there was an uncrossable gap between them. Even if they were both in a weak position, they could not join forces.

She and Anna would mock each other every time they met and they would fight, but it was different from when they were young. Now, when they fought, no matter how many days passed, they would not reconcile.

As for Carter, when he first arrived at the Madison family, he hadn’t been as creepy and disgusting as he was now.

He and his sister, Anna, had tried to join the small group that had banded together to hate Toya, but because they didn’t have their father supporting them, the two of them were bullied in that small group.

Perhaps it was because he had been bullied for too long that Carter was getting increasingly gloomy, and he was unable to control his urges when he looked at Toya.

Toya knew that Carter liked her.

But today was the first time he had humiliated her with such harsh words..
