Chapter 576 Tampered Her Records
ire bounced off her seat like a spring.
Her expression changed as she stared at Silvia and asked agitatedly, “A-Are you telling the truth? But
howe Will and I didn''t find anything useful when we investigated the matter?”
Silvia poured her a ss of water and made her seat.
She deduced, “Could it be that someone intentionally erased Yara''s records to prevent you guys from
finding anything? This seems like the work of Allie Musk. Luckily, my husband works at customs, so I
was able to use his connections to check Yara''s recent travel records. It turns out Yara has been living
abroad for almost two decades and has acquired foreign citizenship. However, she recently returned to
Ackleton to visit her rtives.”
ire muttered, “She left the country twenty years ago? Silvia, is Yara still in Ackleton? I need to find
her and ask her some questions!”
She then picked up her car key, grabbed Silvia, and was about to leave the house.
Silvia immediately stopped her and advised, “Are you mad, ire? Yara has left Ackleton! Even if she
hasn''t, do you think she''ll admit all the things she did in the past? You''re just going to alert the enemy
and jeopardize my investigation.”
Although ire was known for her intelligence and rationality, she would always be impulsive and
irrational when dealing with matters that involved her biological daughter.
At that point, her enthusiasm and energy had plummeted like a deted balloon.
She settled back into her seat with a mournful expression. “Silvia, you''re right. We need to handle this
situation with great care. Once we locate Yara and convince her to reveal the truth, we''ll finally know
what happened all those years ago. It''s just that my heart aches for my daughter. I can''t help but
wonder if she''s been living well all these years.”
She covered her face with her hand, but the anguish in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Knowing that her daughter was doing well would bring her immense relief, but if her daughter suffered
the fate of being kidnapped by human traffickers and having her limbs forcibly broken, ultimately
reduced to a pitiful beggar on the streets, she knew that she would never find peace for the rest of her
life.
Silvia consoled her, “ire, we must take a step at a time. Finding your daughter is not something we
can rush. You''ve waited over twenty years, so I''m sure you can wait a few more days. The absence of
information about Yara proves that Allie had tempered with the records. Otherwise, we would have
been able to track down her family. This only further substantiates my suspicion about her. I can
guarantee your daughter is still alive. We''ll continue to investigate meticulously, and I''m sure we''ll be
able to get to the bottom of this mystery.”
Upon hearing that, ire hummed in response and regained herposure. Her gentle gaze was now
aze with determination. “I believe I''ll find my daughter!”
“I''m sure you will.” Silvia gently patted her hand with equal conviction.
Meanwhile, Avery was sessfully cleared of the cheating usation.
When she returned to Trident Group to work officially, everyone looked at her differently.
The sessful clearing of her cheating charge and her subsequent ousting of Yulissa served as
evidence that she had powerful backing.
It was not difficult for them to figure out that she had the support of the boss.
The removal of Yulissa from thepany led to Wisteria calling for a meeting among the employees in
the design department, during which Trevor was appointed as the new department head.
All the employees in the design department celebrated his promotion.
Avery and Nina were especially happy for him. Given Trevor''s personality and capability, they believed
he was a good fit for the position. No one would question his ability to hold the position of department
head.
With great sincerity, Avery said to Trevor, “Congrattions, Mr. Lane. I hope the design department will
continue to grow under your leadership.”
“Thanks. Please just call me Trevor instead of Mr. Lane.” Trevor blushed.
Nina said cheekily, “Mr. Lane, from now on, you''ll be even busier. Good luck! We have faith in you!”
Cecelia, on the other hand, seemed noticeably disappointed.
If it were not for her pregnancy, she felt she might have had a chance topete with Trevor for the
position.
She sighed almost inaudibly while rubbing her belly and quipped, “You know, I might have been the
one to take over the position if it weren''t for my pregnancy. Don''t you think the position was handed to
you on a silver tter, Mr. Lane?”
Trevor did not take offense at her remark. He humbly replied, “I think so, and I''m grateful to you for
relinquishing this opportunity. To be frank, Cecelia, you''re undoubtedly more qualified and skilled than I
am. I''m just lucky to have been given this chance. Otherwise, I wouldn''t even be given this position.”
Avery ced her hand on Cecelia''s shoulder and offered words offort. “Cecelia, although you
didn''t get the promotion, you have two beautiful babies now!”
“I totally agree!” Nina gave her a thumbs-up.
Upon hearing that, Cecelia shed a smile. “You''re right!”
The sound of theirughter echoed through the office.
Avery and Nina yfully teased Cecelia for a few more moments before eventually returning to their
respective desks, immersing themselves in their work once again.

Avery was busy with her work the entire afternoon.
At the end of the work day, she received a WhatsApp notification.
After unlocking her phone and opening her WhatsApp, she received a message from an unknown
number. The person introduced herself as her high school ssmate.
Assuming the person was someone she knew, Avery replied to her message.
Soon, the person texted: Hey, Avery, It''s Brittany. We were ssmates back in tenth grade. It''s been a
while! We''ll be having a high school reunion tomorrow night. Would you like to join us?
The person who texted Avery was Brittany Reid.
Avery remembered her as someone who always acted high and mighty due to her good looks and the
fact that she was one of the student leaders.
Throughout high school, Avery was only close with one ssmate, Nina, whereas the rest of her
ssmates were just acquaintances.
Avery had a vivid memory of Brittany because thetter used to bully her in ss.
It was hard for her to believe that her enemy was now inviting her to a ss reunion after so many
years.
Considering how unfamiliar she was with most of her ssmates, Avery declined the invitation: I''m
sorry, I won''t be able to make it tomorrow because I have other ns.
Brittany responded with another text: Oh,e on, Avery. We''ve all graduated so long ago and haven''t
seen each other in many years. It''s a rare opportunity to have a gathering with me. Do this for me,
please?
The text ended with a string of sad emojis.
Avery stared at the screen and could not help but feel how ridiculous that message was.
It was hard for Avery to believe that Brittany was inviting her, considering they were never on good
terms in the past.
Upon noticing how quiet Avery was, Brittany texted another message: Avery, almost everyone from our
ss will attend the reunion tomorrow. We rarely have the chance to gather like this, so you must
come!
