"She isn't the person who has done something this time; it's your father. He actually gave her money to start a business, and she's now leading a good life abroad and is even working with Menice," Cecil said in a smooth tone without any strong emotions, as if she was telling a story.

He didn't think much after hearing it. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to take a short nap. Then, they went straight back to the Hayes family's mansion.

Lenold had rejoined the army, so only Cecil's parents were at home. Their grandfather was attending a veterans' gathering as well.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back," Thaud shouted as he walked in.

Their parents looked over at his handsface, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"You're finally back! Chere, we've been waiting for you two to serve the dishes. Thaud, I've prepared your favorite dishes today," Winifred sized him up. It had been more than a year since she last saw him. She didn't know what kind of case was taking him such a long tto settle.

He didn't mind at all. He put his arm around his mother's shoulder and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat now." "Just a minute. Diana will be back any tnow," Jaseh said in a deep voice.

Cecil's eyes sparkled a little when she heard that Diana was coming back, but she remained calm.

However, Thaud suddenly let out a sneer, "Dad, who is more important? Your own son, or your adopted daughter?" "Thaud, what are you talking about? She's your sister," Jaseh rebuked him.

"My sister? I believe we all know if she's my sister or not. She can never beca member of the Hayes family just because she had plastic surgery. Our family doesn't have a person like her," Thaud had always been frank with his words, and he never cared about others' feelings.

Although Jaseh was used to it, he was still a little unhappy.

When Cecil noticed the look on her father's face, she felt even more displeased. She got up and went straight to the dining table. "Let's eat first. She can have the leftovers when she comes back. What if she returns hlate at night? Are we supposed to wait for her the whole time?" Thaud walked over, too.

On the other hand, Jaseh and Winifred exchanged looks. They could sense that the two children were dissatisfied with Diana.

Thaud ordered the servants to serve the dishes. He had spent a whole night on the plane and was really tired. He wanted to have sfood before taking a good rest.

As Cecil was eating the food in big mouthfuls, Jaseh walked over to them and asked, "Did you guys have a fight with Diana?" "Dad, I don't wish to talk about things like this when I'm eating. If you don't want to eat yet, just keep quiet," Cecil didn't want to hear nor say a single thing about Diana.

Upon hearing that, Jaseh wanted to continue asking, but Winifred stopped him. Cecil had always treated Diana well. Judging from her attitude, something must've happened between them. Hence, it was better for the two sisters to solve it by themselves.

After the meal, Cecil and Thaud went to rest.

At the stime, Everleigh and Christopher had already arrived at the Meyer family's home. Alastair and Adrienne were there, too. Adrienne was making Ysabelle and Felicia very happy.

Ysabelle had bought the two children sgifts. Alastair liked the item with panda patterns very much. "Aunt Ysablle, Aunt Felicia, thank you for the present. I like it very much," Adrienne stood in front of them and bobbed a curtsy to them.

It looked hilarious, and everyone in the room burst out in laughter. The whole atmosphere was very harmonious.

Everleigh and Christopher were in the kitchen. When she saw the heartwarming scene, she felt even more guilty. She didn't know how she should explain to the children if they were to leave the family. "Don't worry too much. Ysabelle is just back for a project, and she'll be leaving soon," Christopher comforted her.

"That's not what I meant..." She responded weakly.

He understood her worries, but he couldn't explain everything to her. It was better for them to talk about it another time.

Then, the whole family sat down together for lunch. Ysabelle filled the two kids' plates with their favorite dishes. "Alastair, Adrienne, would the two of you like to go overseas withfor a vacation? The holidays are coming soon, right?" She figured that if the two children went abroad with her, life wouldn't be so boring all alone. Adrienne hesitated for a moment. "Hmm, letthink about it. Grand-Uncle wantsto stay at his place during the holidays." "Grand-Uncle? Who's that?" Ysabelle was confused.

Vanessa reminded her with a smile, "Have you forgotten that the Jenkins family is Everleigh's biological family?" Ysabelle froze, as if she had truly forgotten about it.

"Ysabelle, what project are you working on this time?" Christopher asked as he helped Everleigh get sfood. "I'm challenging Lawson Group, an overseas company, in a bidding," she replied.

"Lawson Group?" Felicia asked. She had never heard of that project before.

Ysabelle lifted her wine glass and took a sip of wine, showing a deep gaze in her eyes.

"Lawson Group? Isn't that the company that has a good relationship with the Jenkins family?" Samuel suddenly asked.

As soon as Everleigh heard the nof the Jenkins family, the first thing that cto her mind was Annie. Missha had previously told her about Annie and Alexander's story, and they talked about Ocpeace City as well, so Annie was the only possible explanation.

When the Jenkins family was mentioned, Christopher glanced at Everleigh. He wondered if she knew anything about it.

Christopher wasn't the only one looking at her; everyone else was, too.

With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Everleigh was rather startled. "What's wrong?" "Don't you know anything about the Lawson family which is very close to the Jenkins family?" Felicia asked.

"I've seen this person once. Her nis Annie Lawson. I met her in Maniville, and that's hem," ske answer all know about truthfully. She care less about things like that. Ysabelle's gaze darkened. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Well, then I guess Annie is back, too." "Ysabelle, I'm afraid I can't help you with this," Everleigh didn't know what to do.

"It's okay. It's an open and public bidding after all. It was originally planned to be held abroad, but I don't know why it's how held in our country," Ysabelle mentioned. Felicia weighed in as well, "That's just how a bidding goes, so there's nothing you should feel sorry about." Everleigh nodded. She knew what was going on as well.

After lunch, she and Christopher went back to the hospital. Looking at her gloomy expression, he pretended to be relaxed and asked, "How did you get to know Annie?" "Because Annie likes Alexander." Suddenly, his eyes were wide open. In fact, Alexander was very good-looking. Everyone was curious about why he wasn't married yet.

"Is Annie good looking?" He continued asking.

"Well, yeah, she looks beautiful and elegant. After all, she comes from a wealthy family," she replied as she tilted her head to look at him.

She found out that their focal points on the matter were vastly different.

A lustful man like him would only care about the appearance of women.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Everleigh received a call from Alexander, inviting her to go over for dinner.

"It's nothing special. It's just that someone from the Lawson family is here. You're a part of the part of the Jenkinsh family, so you should cback and Em meet her, too," Alexander knew that Everleigh was still unable to let the incident go, but he really hoped that she would go back.
