Leah saw a trace of sadness appear in Mrs. Huo's eyes and felt a sense of sorrow in her own heart. She softly asked, "Auntie, given you knew him, does the matter of that year involve the Shaw Family?"
Mrs. Huo was surprised upon hearing the question and shook her head, "Your father and Andrew Shaw, the only son of the Shaw Family, were life-and-death friends, considered by the Shaw Family matriarch as her second son. Given the Shaw Family's reputation and scarce descendants, if someone else were envious of your father's later career, I can believe it, but as for the Shaw Family, I don't believe it. In some sense, your father's smooth career was linked to the Shaw Family; a child nurtured by them wouldn't be destroyed by them."
Leah's heart nearly stopped beating at the revelation. She stood up and paced uncertainly in the dim light.
