The meal ended in easy warmth. The moment Edward and Nora’s father finished eating, they bolted straight back to the riverbank to keep watch over the lines.Maybe it was the change of scenery, but Nora’s video feed had shifted almost entirely to fishing content. One clip stopped her cold, a kid pulling in fish with what was clearly a toy rod, some kind of plastic dinosaur-shaped thing.Her own father’s gear ran well into six figures, not counting entry fees per session, tonight’s outing alone probably cost a real number.If he ever saw this video, she wondered if he’d have an actual stroke.“What are you looking at?”“Look at this.”Nora handed her phone to Nathaniel just as her father, curious, leaned over from a few feet away. One glance and he erupted. “Impossible! Absolutely fake! That video’s staged!”“Fine, fine, it’s fake. I’m just watching for fun.”“What’s so interesting about it? Want to actually try fishing with us?”Nora hesitated at the question.Was she getting a preview

“Bite! We’ve got a bite!”“Told you the bug spray wouldn’t matter, I didn’t pour it in the river! Taking a picture right now, sending it to the whole chat!”Edward was practically vibrating with excitement.“Big Brother, that fish isn’t really that big, though.”The catch was decent, but average-sized, nowhere near the trophy fish from before.“Oh, don’t worry about that. At least dinner’s covered. We’ll keep casting after we eat.”He held the basket up for Nora and Nathaniel to admire.The haul had come in strong, seven or eight decent fish thrashing in the basket, plus a whole scatter of smaller ones. Way more than four people could eat in one sitting.“I’ll have Kevin run these to a restaurant nearby, get them cooked and brought back. You two keep fishing, dinner will come to you.”“We could just go eat there, couldn’t we? Hauling it back sounds like a hassle.”Edward and her father both felt a flicker of guilt watching Nathaniel accommodate them so easily.“No hassle at all. This

Turned out Nora’s instincts were spot on, the tent bag held nothing but assembly parts, no bug spray anywhere inside.Summer mosquitoes near a river were relentless. Nora had no idea how her father had been sitting out here this whole time.She pulled out the instruction sheet and handed it straight to Nathaniel. “Here, can you make sense of this?”“I assemble figurines. This is basic.”Nora had to laugh, thinking of the Wild Boar King’s brief nudity.Honestly, tent assembly was probably harder than the figure kit, but she was hopeless with her hands, so Nathaniel got stuck with the labor.Fortunately the tent was straightforward, a fold-out design, no stakes or hammering required.By the time Richard and Vivian made it back, the tent stood fully assembled. Nora eyed the bag in the assistant’s hand immediately. “Well? Did you grab the bug spray?”“Got it! Four bottles, plenty of coverage. Different scents too, what would you like, Mrs. Whitfield?” He started digging through his pocket

After parting ways with Vivian, Nora stayed quiet for three full days. She’d already sensed something off about Vivian before this, but actually watching it play out firsthand still left her genuinely disappointed. Bing. Her mother, calling. Nora picked up, subdued. “Hey Mom, what’s up?” “Didn’t you say you were testing out Skyline Studio? You never told me how it went. Don’t tell me you got too busy to actually go?” Nora’s stomach dropped, she’d gone, alright, and completely forgotten to follow up. Oh no. She’d been too wound up over Vivian to even remember. Cough, cough. “I did go, Mom, promise! It was great. I went undercover as some clueless girl who couldn’t afford much, and their service was genuinely excellent, Rosa and Olivia specifically.” “Perfect, we’ll try it out this afternoon then.” “Sounds good.” “Actually, I need a favor.” “We’re family, Mom, no need to frame it as a favor. What’s up?” “Your dad’s got a fishing trip planned with your father-in-law tonight.

Utterly disillusioned with Vivian as she was, Nora hadn’t lost sight of what she’d actually come here to do. She adjusted her outfit, stripped off every visible piece of value, the necklace, the watch on her wrist.For the family visit, she’d worn a custom qipao, Amanda’s design, unbranded, unlikely to register with anyone. Her shoes weren’t from any recognizable label either, hand-stitched to match. Her handbag was even more understated than that.Fully stripped down, Nora looked completely unremarkable.“Let’s go.”She led the way out of the car and toward the front desk.No appointment. No prior contact. Just a cover story, a wealthy friend’s party, needed a quick styling for the event.Vivian didn’t blow her cover, if anything, she slipped effortlessly into the role of Nora’s “well-connected friend.”Unlike Nora, even for a family visit Vivian had come dressed head to toe in labels, as if worried nobody would clock her wealth otherwise.“Given the difference here, Ms. Cross, you’d

Nora and Nathaniel walked out of the Whitfield estate right as Kevin pulled up with the car. Even a pleasant visit had its rules, no vehicles allowed on the grounds themselves.She pulled the door open, about to slide in, when Richard called out. “Wait, nothing you want to say to Vivian?”“What exactly would I have to say to her?”She hadn’t even expected Vivian to show up for a family visit like this in the first place.“You’ve been ice-cold to her all day, practically going out of your way to target her. Don’t you owe her some kind of apology?”Nora pointed at herself, genuinely baffled. “Me?”She seriously doubted Richard had absorbed a single word from their conversation in the walkway.“If you’ve forgotten everything I already said back there, happy to run it again right here.”Right as Nora finished, Vivian stepped forward.Eyes already rimmed red, Nora had no idea how she managed that so fast, but there it was.“Nora, I know you hate me, but I’m part of this family too now.
