Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 174 The Previous Life Was a Nightmare "I forgot to introduce him. He's the Leon you all talk about, Sam and Flora's dad, my ex-husband," Tiffany spoke slowly, which startled Connor in front of her.

He had assumed Tiffany had brought along srandom guy to save face, never considering Leon's identity. "How could... I checked the records. You two are clearly separated, and those little brats..." Connor stammered, and as soon as he uttered that word, he received a warning glare from Leon.

He immediately shut his mouth, too scared to speak further, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Even as foolish as Connor was, he had heard of Leon and knew his status in Harmony City. Offending Leon now would be a disaster.

"Let's go." Tiffany wanted to leave as soon as possible. Just seeing Connor's face brought back childhood memories, making her chest tighten and her heartache inexplicably.

In the end, this farce ended with Leon's appearance, and they left the kindergarten with the kids.

In the car, Tiffany sat in the passenger seat, silent.

She had intended to drive herself, but Leon had pulled her into his car.

The kids sat in the back seat, also silent, nervously watching Tiffany and Leon. "Are you afraid of him?" Leon turned his head slightly, looking at Tiffany with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

To him, Tiffany shouldn't be afraid of anyone.

And Connor wasn't a big deal, yet Tiffany couldn't even speak properly in front of him. "I'm not..." Tiffany started to deny it but was interrupted by Leon.

"You can't fool me, Tiffany. What's going on between you two? He bullied Flora first, and it clearly has something to do with you. You'd better explain it to me," Leon spoke in a commanding tone, but Tiffany knew he meant no harm.

He was worried about the kids encountering such situations again.

And he wanted to know what had happened between Tiffany and Connor in the past. "Leon, can I not talk about it?" Tiffany's hands clutched her clothes tightly, her fingers trembling slightly, her eyes inadvertently reddening. Leon's cold gaze fell on her, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

It was the first the had seen Tiffany like this.

"Tiffany, you should know that even if you don't tellnow, I'll investigate. When I find out, it'll be the sas you tellingnow. And withhere, are you still afraid they'll do something to you?" Even though Leon said this, Tiffany still hesitated for a long tbefore finally overcoming her fear and recounting the past.

"Before I cto Harmony City, my life was miserable..." From the moment Tiffany was born, she was not liked by her family.

Her parents were unhappy to have a girl, leading to Tiffany being malnourished and shorter than her peers, often becoming the target of bullying.

When Tiffany was three, Connor was born, and the family was overjoyed.

On that day, Tiffany had her first hearty meal.

She actually liked Connor and always wanted to play with him, but her parents wouldn't allow it, thinking Tiffany had ulterior motives to harm Connor. So, the first tTiffany approached Connor, she was beaten.

In the days that followed, Tiffany was treated like the family's maid, doing all the sweeping, mopping, cooking, and laundry.

Anything that could be done by Tiffany, they wouldn't let her rest.

Tiffany never went to school, but she was very smart. She often eavesdropped on teachers' lessons and absorbed all the knowledge.

So Tiffany understood the family's prejudice, knew that women were destined to marry off, and realized the real reason for her neglect was that the family didn't need a female heir. Tiffany was only fourteen then.

She had only a dark basement to live in and could never eat with her parents and Connor.

But Tiffany persisted. She had heard that the outside world was vast and wanted to see it, secretly saving a small amount of money.

It wasn't until one night that her parents suddenly becattentive, gave her new clothes, and let her eat with them.

But the meal was drugged, and Tiffany was sent to an old man's bed.

If Tiffany hadn't injured the old man and used her saved money to escape, her life would have been ruined.

Since then, Tiffany had no contact with her family, and they had no idea of her whereabouts.

But Tiffany knew very well that her family wouldn't look for her; they had long wished for her death.

So when Connor appeared, Tiffany was surprised.

Connor finding her must have been orchestrated by someone. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? His son was also in this kindergarten! Connor didn't seem very wealthy, clearly approaching her on purpose.

After Tiffany finished speaking, the car fell silent.

Leon didn't even realize that he felt a pang of sympathy for Tiffany.

The kids quietly wiped away their tears.

Now they understood how tough Tiffany's childhood had been.

No wonder Sam and Flora always got whatever they wanted from Tiffany without hesitation.

"You don't have to live in their shadow anymore. You have your own career and are no longer the person they can manipulate."

Leon gripped the steering wheel tightly, speaking to Tiffany before starting the engine. Tiffany smiled slightly, understanding that Leon was trying to comfort her. "I know, but I need to find out who brought them to Harmony City and who brought them to me!" Leon nodded, said no more, and drove away.

As they left, Connor's family also emerged from the kindergarten.

Connor was still cursing.

"It's all your fault for the wrong information. Didn't you say Leon had long abandoned Tiffany? What was that about? And those three brats! How dare they be so arrogant? I'm their uncle! Tiffany ran off to enjoy herself, and now she's got guts. I need to tell Mom and Dad right away and get them over here!" Connor said as he pulled out his phone and dialed his parents.

Regina's eyes flashed with jealousy.

When she married Connor, she had heard about Tiffany from him.

But his family had nothing but endless criticism for Tiffany.

Yet now, it seemed Tiffany was living much better than them, dressed in designer clothes and married to the wealthiest family in Harmony City.

That was immense wealth! She couldn't let Tiffany have it all! Thinking this, Regina glanced at Connor, unable to hide her disdain.

She used to think Connor was great, but compared to Leon, it was like night and day.

If she could make Leon fall for her and marry him, then she could beca wealthy lady!
