This finally snapped Petra back to reality. She awkwardly mentioned that she had prepared
Tabitha’s favorite dish and would bring it to herter.
Tabitha shed her a faint smile. “I even brought presents for you and Heidi. Is Heidiing over
today? Tell her to drop by. It’s been quite a while since west met.”
Petra’s expression faltered for a moment, and she offered a forced smile.
After Tabitha finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Isabe’s arm, intending to head
toward th main building..
“Who is Heidi?” Isabe asked curiously.
“Heidi is Petra’s daughter. She’s the same age as me. We went to the same school and had such a
great tim together,” Tabitha said with a bounce in her voice.
Isabe didn’t give it much thought, it was merely a casual inquiry.
With the arrival of Hansel and his family, the atmosphere at home finally started feeling like a major
birthday celebration was underway.
Tabitha was genuinely charming. Even the stern Lionel couldn’t help but break into a wide smile
around her. She truly embodied the essence of a little princess.

When he returned to the building for the young that evening, Tabitha had followed him. She seemed
to have endless words to share, fueled by an inexhaustible energy.
But as soon as she showed up, Petra appeared too, immediately bringing her favorite dessert. She
was rather perfunctory with the other young masters and youngdies, serving them the same way
over and
over.
Naturally, no one wouldpare themselves to Tabitha.
Thrilled, Tabitha went to fetch the gift. Then, she joined Petra at the table for a heart–to–heart chat.
“Where’s Heidi? Didn’t shee?” Tabitha asked, puzzled.
Petra immediately said, “Oh, we’re just housekeepers. Since when do housekeepers bring their
families to their employer’s home for fun? She isn’t worthy of such luxury.”
Immediately, Tabitha furrowed her petite brows. “She’s my friend, so what’s wrong with inviting a
friend, over? My family is very understanding. No one would mind.”
Petra’s expression tensed a bit as she said, “She’s still got work, so she really can’t make it over.”
Tabitha was taken aback when she heard that. “What? Ajob? Based on her schooling situation here,
shouldn’t she be in her junior year of high school?”
“She’s not good at studying, and she started working right after middle school,” Petra said
dismissively.
Tabitha became even more surprised. She distinctly remembered that Heidi loved reading when she
was a child. She had said that her father and brother didn’t like her, so she needed to stride t

Back then, Heidi was even more studious than Tabitha was. Despite moving abroad during junior
high, she would asionally call her, and their conversations would inevitably turn to their studies.
Even though theirmunication eventually dwindled, in Tabitha’s memory, Heidi was the type to
never abandon her education.
Being a kind–hearted girl, Tabitha began to specte, wondering if it was a case of gender bias,
where Heidi’s father and brother didn’t let her study, instead making her work to support her brother.
But that didn’t seem usible, because Petra worked for their family and was paid well. There
wouldn’t be any financial pressure in supporting two children through university.
Tabitha was perplexed, but she had her own little scheme. She had coaxed Petra into giving her a
phone, and then secretly found out Heidi’s current contact information.
She quickly got in touch with Heidi. She could hear the surprise and cold detachment in Heidi’s
voice. Considering they hadn’t seen each other in a while, it made sense that they felt like
strangers. She invited her over to her house, offered her gifts, and thought it would be a good
opportunity to catch up. If Heidi was facing any difficulties, she was ready to lend a hand as much
as she could.
Since her childhood, she had often lent a hand to Heidi, so she didn’t think much of it. She had the
means to help a friend, and thus, she didn’t overthink it.
Afterwards, Tabitha shared her thoughts with the others on inviting Heidi over for a visit. Naturally,
no one had any objections. After all, this was Tabitha’s home, so she had the freedom to invite
anyone she wished.
In the end, Tabitha expressed her desire to join everyone at the amusement park located at the
rear, specifically the one designed for youngsters. It was mostly Nina and Cahan who were
ying there, while the other adults politely declined.
In the end, despite their resistance, Janice and Rosalie found themselves on the guest list due to
persistent invitations.
The following morning, when Isabe descended, she spotted two people struggling in the living
room.
“Who told you toe over?”
“What’s wrong? Did I embarrass you or something? It was Tabitha who invited me.”
“You… She was just being polite, that’s all!”
