    It was already evening when the car arrived in Yorknd and stopped in a vi.


    When Christina opened her eyes, all she saw was a bamboo forest.

    To be more specific, it was an outer courtyard filled with bamboo. There was a pebbled path leading


    toward the two-storied vi.


    When she exited the vehicle, a gust of fresh air swept past her, carrying a faint bamboo fragrance.


    I’ve lived in the heart of the city for so long that I’ve gotten used to all the dust and gas carbon. It feels


    like I’ve stepped into a new world here. As that thought swirled in Christina’s mind, a gust of cold wind


    blew at her, making her feel both refreshed and chilly.


    A ck coat settled on her shoulders as Nathaniel’s unique sandalwood scent enveloped her, making


    her feel warm.


    He then took her small hand and led her inside.


    Meanwhile, Sebastian followed them while carrying the gifts.


    They weren’t the only visitors. When Christina ventured deeper into the courtyard, she saw around


    seven luxury cars parked outside.


    Ever since Abraham Hadley passed away, Felicia Carson had been living alone in that peaceful vi.


    She usually wouldn’t ept visitors all year long except on her birthday.


    Naturally, her friends and families wouldn’t miss a once-in-a-year opportunity to visit her.


    Everyone knew Felicia was religious, so the guests brought paintings and antiques rted to her.


    religion as gifts.


    When Christina entered the building, she saw a kindly old woman sitting in the middle of the living


    room.


    Felicia was wearing a quaint, in-colored attire, appearingposed. Even though she was nearly


    seventy years old, she could still sit up straight.


    Meanwhile, Julia was d in a gown with vividly embroidered jasmine. Her hair was tied-up into a bun,


    and her makeup was light, giving her an air of dignified elegance.


    Charlie was right next to her, donning a ck suit. Hi refined vibe matched Julia, and they looked like


    the perfect couple while standing together.


    Nathaniel brought Christina over to his elders and greeted, “Grandma.”

    Felicia nodded as her gazended on Christina. She looks beautiful. I like her small face and bright


    eyes.


    It was Christina’s first official meeting with the old woman, so she was feeling extremely anxious, even


    more anxious than when she went for a job interview.


    Smiling, she uttered, “I hope you’ll live a long and healthy life, Grandma. Happy birthday.”

    The solemn atmosphere was instantly shattered by the young woman’s sweet voice.


    Felicia nodded with satisfaction. “Please, take a seat.”


    “Thank you, Grandma.” Nathaniel spoke.


    Regardless of the asion, he always acted indifferently.


    He escorted Christina to the seats at the side. The three generations of the Hadley family had


    assembled, generating an atmosphere too overpowering for ordinary people to handle.


    Felicia turned to Julia. “Your gown is unique, Felicia. The embroidery is beautiful.”


    “Thank you, Mom.” Julia nced at Christina.


    Her indifferent gaze made it challenging to tell what she was thinking.

    Considering how much she dislikes me, I don’t think she’ll necessarily be delighted by thatpliment.


    Christina thought.

    Promptly, Julia answered, “Your granddaughter-inw was the one who sewed it by hand.”


    Félicia nodded. “I can tell she’s skilled from her work. Not bad.”


    Upon obtaining the elders’ approval, Christina felt proud. As a joyful glint shed past her eyes, she


    covertly tugged Nathaniel’s hand. Even though Mrs. Hadley still hasn’t epted me despite my efforts,


    at the very least, I can tell she doesn’t hate me as much anymore.


    Madison, who just entered the building, overheard the conversation. Mrs. Hadley was praising


    Christina? Even Old Mrs. Hadley, who usually doesn’t pay attention to anything, praised her! I only left


    for two months. How did she impress both of them in such a short amount of time Her abilities exceed


    my expectations!


    After recollecting herself, she smiled and stepped toward Felicia. “Happy birthday, Old Mrs. Hadley. I


    wish you the best of health in many years toe! My parents are busy, so they asked me to bring you


    their gifts.”


    When she presented a traditional painting to the old woman, the butler at the side epted it.


    Felicia nodded. “I’m happy the Taggart family still remembers my preference after all these years.”


    It was thanks to Abraham that the Hadley family and the Taggart family always shared a strong


    rtionship.


    The Taggart family was also a prominent family in Jadeborough with an established family business in


    the city.


    Even though Madison was the eldest daughter of the Taggart family, she worked for Hadley


    Corporation instead of helping her family.


    Her intention to approach a certain someone was apparent to the elders.


    Back then, both families were interested in pairing the two together. Unfortunately for them, Nathaniel


    was married before it could happen.


    So, the idea was scrapped.

    Felicia spoke. “There’s no need for you youngsters to stay here. Feel free to walk around outside.”


    Upon obtaining the old woman’s approval, Christina and the others left the living room.


    It was Christina’s first time there, so she was intrigued by everything she saw.


    Nathaniel apanied her on a stroll. Meanwhile, Madison followed behind them, staring at them. with


    jealousy.


    When Christina wasn’t around, I was always by Nathaniel’s side. Even though we didn’t have any


    physical contact, we were still together. Now, I can only watch them enviously. As she tightened her


    fists, she tried calming herself down in her mind. I must be patient and wait for an opportunity to


    strike…


    Momentster, Christina and Nathaniel entered the bamboo forest that was part of the vi.


    A white rabbit hopped past them when they entered the forest through the pebbled path.


    Christina gasped in surprise and chased after it.


    The adorable rabbit eventually stopped next to a bamboo.


    As she carefully approached the creature, she noticed the rabbit’s foot was injured, its blood tainting its


    white fur.


    She examined the wound in detail. It seems like the rabbit was hit by someone with a blunt object.


    Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached her, apanied by a voice. “Where did the rabbit go?”


    When Christina raised her head, she saw a skinny figure appearing in her view.


    It was a young woman wearing a pink dress and holding a slingshot. The arrogance in her eyes was


    clear as day.


    When she noticed Christina, she questioned assertively, “Hey, did you see a rabbit?”


    “I did. Is it yours?” asked Christina.


    The woman, Elizabeth Be, snorted. “As if I’ll keep such a smelly thing. I’m bored, so I’m looking.


    for fun.”


    Suddenly, she saw the fluffy white ball moving in her view. Immediately, she raised her slingshot and


    aimed it at the innocent animal.


    Christina’s pupils constricted as she blocked the woman’s line of sight. “I won’t allow you to hurt it.”


    However, Elizabeth ignored her and readied her slingshot. Coldly, she spat, “If you don’t move away,


    don’t me me when I hit you!”


    Then, she intentionally loosened the rubber band, shooting a rock straight toward Christina’s face.
