Jonas darts his eyes in the way of Veronica and amazingly, their eyes meet, she blinks quickly and he looks away while clearing his throat. The family sit down with their daughter sitting in between them. Jonas shakes his head and says to them,“I can’t believe that upon all my effort, I ended up been left out. Sis, do you forgive your brother now?”“I will think about it after you have taken responsibility for all your actions. But if you try to run away from it, I promise you that you won’t get to call me sister ever again.” Alexia warns him with squinted face and glaring eyes.Their parents look among them and look back at each other in wonder if what their children are bickering about.But they couldn’t bring themselves to inquire about it , after all they are grown up children, that they thought. The man moves forward slightly and says to Alexia,“Don’t you want to know who your parents really are?”Alexia shrugs and responds to him,“Must I know now? I will get to know eventuall

Edward sneaks a glance at Alexia, who was standing beside her mother with a dull expression on her face.Hearing Mr. Ferrero's words, Mrs. Franks quickly piped in, “Mr. and Mrs. Shen, let’s talk when we’re inside the house.”Hearing her mother’s words, Jane couldn’t help but blurt out, “Mom!”The Ferrero family came bearing such an aggressive stance and had “tit for tat” written all over their faces. Edward glances at Alexia and unexpectedly meets her gaze. He falters for a moment and feels—for reasons unknown to her—sorry.Mrs. Franks looks at Jane and shakes her head, signaling for her not to speak. She was not stupid. How could she not see that Alexia’s parents came with anger?The group of people enters the Franks building. Mrs. Franks asks the servants to prepare tea, but Mr. Ferrero directly raises his hand to refuse.“Don’t bother, Mrs. Franks. Today, we came here to settle some accounts with your family. This kind of courtesy is unnecessary. After all, after today, our two fam

Cecelia graces her steps as she descends the stairs trying to attention of the people downstairs, but she was wrong, they all had their minds thinking of a way to go scout free or at least suffer small injuries.If Alexia was the daughter of an ordinary family, they would have sent her away with some money. However, now that Alexia had become the only daughter of Mr. Ferrero, Master Franks was angry and speechless for the first time. Cecelia makes her way to the side of Edward to sit down but then, she sees that they aren’t alone. But Alexia and some old couple were seated right in front of them, her eyebrows kneads and she looks at Alexia who is scrolling on the screen of her phone.Her mind runs in a race and she tries to find out the reason for her and the unknown couple’s presence but she couldn’t think of anything and so, she shrugs and while walking to Edward’s side, Jane looks up at her and she stands up and quickly pulls her to sit beside her. The rest if the family look in th

As soon as Alexia and her family left, Master Franks raises his hand and throw the teacup on the coffee table to the ground.Bang!!The top-quality porcelain teacup falls to the ground and broke into pieces. Jane subconsciously shrank back and Cecelia stands up on her feet. Looking at the expression on master Franks face, she knew it was all over for her.“What on earth is going on? Why did Alexia suddenly become Mr. Ferrero Marcel’s daughter?”Jane curls her lips. And directs her chin in Edward’s direction saying,“Who knows? Didn’t Edward say that she was just an ordinary girl?”“Shut up! I’ll settle this with you later!”Master Franks became frustrated, he had lived for 70 to 80 years. It was the first time that he had been so humiliated. However, he had no way to reclaim this.After scolding Jane, Master Franks looks at Edward, his eyes shrinking and opening with different thoughts in his mind asks. “Did she ever tell you that she’s Mr. Ferrero's daughter?”Edward glances at the o

The family of three walk into a room wanting to enjoy some private time, in fact they could go back to their house and talk with Alexia but they felt she looked too estranged over there alone with them. They wanted her to be comfortable with them and maybe a place anyone could visit could be the place. They sit in the room and start making discussions. It is as if Mrs. Ferrero was just remembering something as she asks “Was the daughter of Mr. Bright very close with Jane Franks?”Alexia who was making tea, paused and glanced at Mrs. Ferrero, “ mom?”“Humph, don’t think I don’t know that they have ganged up to bully you.” She replies looking away from her.Although they had stayed away over the past years, ever since they found out about her identity, they knew every step of her. It wasn’t that they didn’t care about Alexia at all, they had their reasons but now, they were regretting it. Maybe, they should have come earlier. Alexia was good at every aspect, but she was too stubborn and
