Chapter 802
Bryan remained silent.
Who was really angry at whom?
Haley had already called him an idiot.
Haley raised an eyebrow indifferently, "Mr. Lumi, do you know why Bryan gave up running for the election?"
Cauth was a bit confused, "Why are we talking about this now?"
Although he regretted it, the matter was settled, and Bryan's decision not to run for the heir wouldn't significantly affect it.
Haley spoke calmly, "It was Ava who threatened Bryan with my matters, forcing him to give up."
Cauth was somewhat shocked and incredulous, "Bryan, I thought you couldn't accept Haley as your sister. I didn't expect you to make such a big concession for her. You really impress me."
Haley remained silent.
Was that the point? Wasn't the point that Bryan gave up the heir position?
Cauth and Bryan's thoughts were really strange.
Bryan was a bit annoyed, "Dad, I'm afraid our family's reputation will affected by her inexplicable news."
"How would it affect the Lumi family's reputation without admitting Haley publicly?" Cauth was delighted, "Bryan, I'm so happy that you can accept your sister. Haley has suffered a lot over the years, you should treat her better in the future."
Haley lightly coughed to interrupt Cauth. She pursed her lips and said, "The news Ava has is fake, you didn't need to make such a big concession because of it. Mr. Lumi, let Bryan rejoin the heir election."
Bryan said indifferently, "I've already publicly withdrawn from the heir election, there's no turning back."
"It doesn't matter if you can't be the heir," Cauth said, "It is the most important thing that you live happily."
Haley agreed with that.
But she just didn't want Ava to make use of her to force Bryan to compromise.
It also depended on Haley's mind if Ava wanted to use her as a stepping stone.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Lumi, may I ask what the necessary conditions are for running for the Lumi family heir?"
"Only the direct descendants of the Lumi family can participate. Currently, the only eligible ones are Bryan and Ava," Cauth replied.
"Am I considered a direct descendant?" Haley's face showed a bright smile.
Cauth was stunned, "Haley, what are you trying to do?"
"Mr. Lumi, I want to return to the Lumi family," Haley said while playing with her nails, "Would you be willing to acknowledge me as your daughter?"
A massive wave of joy hit Cauth, and he instantly forgot what they were just talking about.
Suppressing his excitement, he asked incredulously, "Haley, this isn't a dream, right? You really want to be my daughter? You really want to acknowledge me as your father?"
Haley nodded slowly.
If Cauth were a heartless man, she would never return to the Lumi family.
She had subtly asked at the dinner table just now, and it turned out that her mother had chosen to marry Carl without Cauth's knowledge.
The exact reason, probably only her mother, who now rests in peace, would know.
Cauth's concern for Haley didn't seem fake. Haley had also seen that kind of fatherly love that came from the bones in Ivan.
Ivan would do anything for Angela.
Cauth was the same with her.
Since that was the case, she had no reason to hesitate.
