Six years later, in Peace City.
It was April. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the main street. The spring breeze
blew off the white petals, which danced around. People walked in the flower shower as if they were
passing through a fairyland.
On the large screen of a shopping mall, the latest financial news was being broadcast.
The heir to the Four Seasons Group, Julian Shaw, was being interviewed.
A slender woman stopped in front of the large screen when she saw the interview. She took off her
black sunglasses and lightly shook her long curly hair, revealing a stunning face the size of a palm. As
she watched, she narrowed her beautiful eyes.
On the screen, a reporter asked Julian a question.
"Mr. Julian, I heard that the Four Seasons Group's Eastwood Branch has been recently involved in an
economic dispute. The other party has already filed an appeal after losing the first trial. May I ask if
your company is confident in the second trial?"
Julian looked at the camera confidently, "The Four Seasons Group has never done anything illegal, so
we will definitely win the second trial."
Looking at Julian's confident face, the woman smiled coldly. She took out a mobile phone from her
handbag and dialed a number.
"Hello, Mr. Steele. This is Audrey. Mike has recommended me to your law firm. I happen to have time
today. Okay, see you later."
After she hung up the phone, the woman gazed at the large screen again with unfathomable emotions.
Audrey Munn, no, her name was Audrey Koch now. She was back!
She gave a meaningful smile and put her sunglasses back on, turning to leave the shopping mall.
Just then, an old woman appeared from nowhere and grabbed her. "Don't go!"
Audrey felt it was ridiculous, but she didn't put away the old woman.

These years, even though she had been mostly indifferent, she would always be nice to an old lady.
The old lady blinked and suddenly jumped into Audrey's arms.
"Elliana... You're Elliana!"
Audrey was taken aback. Elliana was her childhood name. How could the old lady know about it?
The old lady held Audrey tightly in her arms and kept on muttering.
"My dear granddaughter, I finally found you."
Audrey was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
Ten bodyguards suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.
The leader stood sweating behind the old lady and asked nervously, "Madam Cordova, are you
alright?"
A moment ago, the old lady suddenly ran off. They were scared to death. If anything happened to her,
they would be doomed.
Audrey nudged the old lady in her arms and said, "Madam, your people have come for you."
However, the old lady was indifferent to this. She kept holding Audrey tightly, not letting go.
Just as Audrey was about to nudge the old lady in her arms again, she suddenly felt that something
was wrong. She looked down and saw that the old lady had passed out again.
"Madam, what's the matter?"
Audrey supported the old lady and accidentally stumbled on a stone. She lost her balance and fell
backward.
In the nick of time, Audrey held the old lady tight in her arms. The back of her head knocked hard on
the shoulder of the road behind her.
Suddenly, she had a blackout.
...
When Audrey woke up, she found she was in a strange room with sophisticated lights.
Just as she was about to sit up, a sharp pain came from behind her neck. She groaned in pain.
Audrey touched the pain behind her neck and slowly sat up. She looked around and found she was in a
large room with exquisite furniture.
Where was she? Why was she here?
She only remembered that she had saved an old lady, and then ... she fainted.
Was this the old lady's home?
She guessed that she had fainted because of the old lady, so her people brought her here.
She spotted her handbag and sunglasses on the bedside table.
She threw back the covers and got up. She put on her shoes and picked up her bag and glasses,
walking to the door.
She opened the door and walked out. A servant was passing by.
"Hello, may I ask where the gate is?"
The servant pointed behind her.
"Go straight on and turn left at the first corner. After that, turn right, and then you will see the stairs."
Audrey smiled and nodded.
"Thank you. By the way, please tell the old lady that I'm leaving."
"Okay."
When Audrey took a taxi and left the Cordova Mansion, she happened to pass a black Rolls-Royce.
...
At the Cordova Mansion.
When Tim, the butler, saw a tall figure enter, he came up to greet.
"Mr. Bryson!"
"How is Grandma?"
Bryson walked to the stairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Madam Cordova just woke up, but she is asking for Ms. Elliana."
Hearing this, Bryson changed his expression slightly.
Bryson's younger sister, Elliana, hung out with her classmates when she was eighteen years old, but
an accident happened. She was killed in a hotel. Later, the murderer surrendered himself to the police
and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Kylee loved Elliana a lot. Her family was afraid that Kylee would not be able to accept this fact. So, they
lied to Kylee and said that Elliana had gone abroad to study.
Two years ago, Kylee accidentally found out the truth, but after that...
Bryson couldn't afford the time to think much, and he quickly walked to Kylee's room.
Kylee pushed the servant away angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Elliana is still alive. I saw her. How could you lie to me that
Elliana would not come back? Get out of here!"
Seeing Bryson, Kylee immediately rushed to him.
"Bryson, it's great that you're here!" Kylee grabbed Bryson's arm and glared at the servants behind her
as if she were a fighting cock. "They said that Elliana would never come back. Bryson, tell them that
Elliana is fine, OK?"
Bryson held his grandma in his arms.
"Yes."
Then Bryson's cold and sharp eyes swept across the servants, and they all lowered their heads in fear,
not daring to say anything.
Kylee heaved a sigh of relief.
"I told you. Besides, I saw Elliana today. How could I be mistaken?"
"Grandma, I heard you hadn't had lunch yet. Let's go eat first."
"Where's Elliana?"
"She is busy."
Kylee's face darkened. "What's so important that she doesn't even have time to have dinner with me?
Call Elliana. If she doesn't come, I won't eat."
Bryson replied, "Okay, I'm calling her now."
