Chapter 307 I Want Revenge
Standing nearby, Asher seemed much calmer than the others.

He looked at Lawson, then at the butler. The boy pressed his lips together as if he had made up his mind.
“I’m going back with you.”
His gaze remained fixed on the butler’s face as he spoke the words. Mindy’s eyes widened in shock the moment she heard them.
“You…” She turned to her son, looking at him as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
Asher reached out and put a gentle hand on her shoulder. “Mom, let’s talk in private.”
He nced at the butler. The butler said nothing, just nodded and respectfully took a few steps back to give them space.
Asher led Mindy to a quiet spot in the shade of a nearby tree.
“You want to go back?” Mindy bit her lip. Her eyes wavered, and her shoulders trembled slightly. She looked like she was about to break.
“Yes,” Asher nodded. His answer was honest.
Tears streamed down Mindy’s face. Her voice came out torn and trembling. “I knew it… You think life with me is too hard, right? This man, he’s richer than I’ll ever be…”
“I never thought that,” Asher said, letting out a deep sigh. Aplex, helpless expression filled his eyes. “But I have a reason to go back.”
Thomas had targeted me several times. <i>It </i><i>was </i>likely <i>that </i><i>he </i><i>already </i>knew <i>the </i><i>truth about </i><i>my </i><i>identity</i>.
Though I had kept a <i>calm </i><i>face </i><i>through </i>it all<i>, </i>that didn’t <i>mean </i><i>I </i>wasn’t <i>holding </i><i>onto hatred </i>deep <i>inside</i>.
The <i>days </i><i>I </i><i>had </i>spent in the <i>detention </i><i>center </i><i>had </i><i>felt </i><i>like </i><i>an </i><i>eternity</i>. <i>I’m </i><i>not </i><iing </i><i>out </i>of it <i>without </i><i>scars</i>.
I hate Thomas, and I want revenge.
And <i>going </i><i>back </i><i>to </i><i>the </i><i>Lawson </i><i>family</i><i>, </i><i>taking </i><i>everything </i><i>Thomas </i><i>held </i><i>dear </i><i>and </i><i>destroying </i>his <b><i>position </i></b>is <i>the </i>most <i>painful </i>way <i>to </i><i>get </i>it<i>. </i>
<i>Thomas </i>might <i>be </i><i>in </i><i>jail </i><i>now</i>, but he <i>won’t </i><i>be </i><i>there forever</i>. <i>He </i><i>will </i><i>get out </i><i>one </i><i>day</i>.
<b><i>I </i></b>want <i>to </i><i>be </i>in <i>the </i><i>Lawson </i><i>family </i>when <b><i>that </i></b><i>day </i><ies</i><i>. </i>
<i>I </i><i>don’t </i>care <b><i>about </i></b><i>money</i>. <i>Life </i>with <i>Mom </i><i>may </i><i>have </i><i>been </i>modest, <i>but </i>it had <i>been </i><i>filled </i>with <i>love </i><i>and </i><i>simplicity</i>.
But we can’t <i>stay </i><i>that </i><i>way </i><i>forever</i><b><i>. </i></b>
<i>We </i>are <i>too </i><i>powerless</i>. <i>If </i><i>another </i><i>Thomas </i><ies </i><b><i>along</i></b><b>, </b>we will be crushed <b><i>just </i></b><i>as </i><i>easily</i>.

<i>Without </i><i>Jean </i><i>and </i><i>Jolene </i><i>stepping </i><i>in </i><i>this </i><i>time</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>will </i><i>never </i><i>have </i>made it out.
<i>So </i><i>I </i><i>have </i>to <i>get </i><i>stronger</i>. <i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>protect </i><i>myself </i><i>and </i><i>those </i><i>I </i><i>love</i><i>. </i>
<i>Returning </i>to <i>the </i><i>Lawson </i><i>family </i><i>is </i><i>the </i><i>best </i><i>way </i><i>to </i><i>do </i><i>that</i>.
<i>But </i><i>none </i><i>of </i><i>that can </i><i>be </i><i>exined </i><i>to </i><i>Mindy</i>.

All Asher could do was put his hand gently on her shoulder and try tofort her. “I never looked down on you. I never will. I’m grateful that you brought me into this world. Maybe this is just me… choosing a different path for my life. I want to <i>see </i>if my future can be different.”
He meant every word. The emotions burning in his dark eyes were real and intense.
Mindy began to calm down, her heart swaying with his honesty.
“You’re really sure?” She asked quietly, her tone now steadier. Her expression was serious, as if she wanted to confirm onest time.
Asher nodded firmly.
Mindy looked into his eyes for a long time. Her gaze heldyers of emotion–pain, pride, and uncertainty. Finally, she let out a soft sigh and said nothing more, just patted him gently on the shoulder.
Asher stared at her face, silently making a promise to himself.
<i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>know </i><i>everything </i><i>about </i><i>the </i><i>Lawson </i><i>family</i>, <i>but </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>guess </i><i>enough</i>.
<i>My </i><i>biological </i><i>father has a </i><i>family </i>of his own…
<i>Even </i>if I <i>can </i>go back to <i>the </i><i>Lawsons</i><i>, </i><i>Mindy </i><i>might </i><i>never </i><i>be </i><i>allowed </i><i>in</i>.
That’s why <i>I </i><i>have to </i><i>seed</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>find </i><i>a </i><i>ce </i><i>there </i><i>and </i><i>build </i><i>something </i><i>solid</i>.
<i>I </i><i>want </i>to <i>give her </i>a <i>safe </i><i>life</i><i>, </i>no <i>matter </i>what it <i>takes</i>.
