Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 225 Childhood Playmate Edmund spoke with a smile on his face, but that smile made people uncomfortable.

Tiffany knew very well that Edmund had shown up here on purpose to prevent her from finding out where "Leon" had gone.

It seemed that Leon's situation was indeed connected to Global Nexus Corporation.

Edmund must know the whole story.

Tiffany glanced at Edmund and smiled. "I just saw Leon heading this way, so I wanted to confirm if it was him. I didn't expect to run into Mr. Stewart here." "But I didn't see anyone. Could it be that Miss Grey was mistaken?" Edmund's words were unconvincing, and he knew he couldn't fool Tiffany.

But he also knew that Tiffany wouldn't mention "Leon" to him.

"Maybe I was mistaken. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back." Tiffany turned to leave, not wanting to waste twith Edmund.

Edmund reached out to block her path, still smiling.

"Miss Grey, it's not often you cabroad. We might even beccolleagues soon. Since we've run into each other, how about I treat you to a drink?" Edmund's invitation left Tiffany puzzled.

They had only met three times and weren't close enough to spend talone together. Clearly, Tiffany refused him.

"I don't have ttoday. Maybe next time." As Tiffany was about to leave, Edmund spoke again, making her stop.

"But Miss Grey, you meet with Lauren every day. Lauren is also from Global Nexus Corporation. Why avoidand not her?" Edmund put on a hurt expression and sighed softly.

Tiffany realized that if she didn't agree to Edmund now, he would keep pestering her.

She sighed, turned back to Edmund, and asked, "Where does Mr. Stewart want to go?" "Just follow me, Miss Grey." Edmund made a gentlemanly gesture and led the way, with Tiffany following behind. But before leaving the mall, Tiffany thought of something.

Both times she saw "Leon," it was in this mall. This could mean his range of activity wasn't large, and he might be nearby.

If she investigated based on this, it should be easy to find the place and naturally understand their next move. And Edmund's eagerness to meet her further indicated that "Leon" was connected to him.

That was why Tiffany decided to stop and agree to Edmund's request.

Not long after, Edmund brought Tiffany to a mysterious restaurant. There were hardly any customers, and the decor was strange and did not match the restaurant's style.

"Mr. Stewart, this restaurant is..." Tiffany couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's my restaurant." Edmund handed her the menu, smiling.

For sreason...

When she saw Edmund's eyes, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. Tiffany took the menu and glanced at it, surprised by its uniqueness.

The dishes were named after games she played as a child.

There was even one called Hide and Seek, which Tiffany was familiar with. Tiffany looked at Edmund again. He was still smiling, his eyes bright.

Edmund didn't speak. He took a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Tiffany.

Tiffany's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The photo showed the village where Tiffany lived as a child. Two kids were in the photo, dirty but happily playing with sand.

Tiffany knew one of the kids was herself.

As for the other kid...

If Tiffany guessed correctly, it was Edmund.

Tiffany had no friends as a child. Few people wanted to play with her.

She met Edmund after he had been beaten by his family and ran into Tiffany.

Tiffany comforted him, and they talked a lot.

They beceach other's only friends, often meeting at that spot.

But after three months, Tiffany never saw him again.

She later heard from others that his family had moved away.

Tiffany understood then that they might never meet again.

But she never expected to meet him again like this.

"Back then, my dad cheated, and my mom loved him too much to divorce him. My dad would get drunk and beat us. I protected my mom and got beaten too. But after meeting you, I knew I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I called the police. When they came, my dad almost killed my mom. The police took him away. Within a week, my mom left with another man. I begged her to takeabroad with her."

He continued, "When I grew up, I went back to the village to find you.

They said you were ungrateful and ran away from home. But I knew you found your purpose. I was happy for you. When I found out where you were, I arranged for us to meet." Edmund shared this with Tiffany, not missing the shock on her face.

She never expected Edmund to be her childhood playmate.

Tiffany suddenly smiled, feeling relieved.

She had worried about Edmund's safety over the years.

But she always told herself he would be fine.

And she was right.

Edmund was doing well.

She didn't need to worry about him anymore.

"So, Edmund, why didn't you tellthis when we met?"

Edmund smiled helplessly. "Because you know I'm with Global Nexus Corporation. I was afraid you wouldn't believeBut the boss values. you now. I think we can work together at Global Nexus Corporation, so I don't need to hide it anymore." Edmund's words clearly hinted that he wanted Tiffany to accept the boss's offer and join Global Nexus Corporation. "I need to think about it." Tiffany didn't agree immediately.

Edmund was momentarily stunned, surprised.

He thought Tiffany would agree to join Global Nexus Corporation out of their childhood bond.

But it seemed the past wasn't enough to convince her.

"I was too hasty. Miss Grey, take your time. Letknow your decision anytime. Once you join Global Nexus Corporation, you'll know everything." Tiffany raised an eyebrow at this.

Everything? The word lingered in her mind, filled with unspoken promises and hidden truths. She couldn't help but wonder what secrets were being kept from her.
