Chapter 1799


    "Sis, I get it."


    Ynda''s voice carried a tinge of despondency.


    Hearing her, Carol''s heart sank even further.


    She had always been close with this cousin, and this time, the Miller family''s troubles, with her uncle


    ying a significant role in them, couldn''t ultimately drive a wedge between her and Ynda.


    Ynda had always been into what the boys liked: bungee jumping, racing, ice skating—and she


    was quite good at them, though not quite championship level. Still, among the average folks, she


    put on quite a show.


    "The money''s in your ount; use it as you need to. And don''t worry about Uncle''s mess anymore."


    The word was that Uncle had been double-crossed in a deal with Felix, and it had sent him over the


    edge. He''d be violent towards Ynda and even started doubting if she was his own flesh and


    blood.


    Abner has only one daughter, Carol, and Ynda is the only child of her family. But now, her father


    is bing paranoid about having an illegitimate son outside.


    He even called Carol, but Carol, harboring resentment towards him for colluding with Felix, didn’t


    answer.


    "Ynda, Uncle''s talking about having a son out there. You know anything about that?"


    Instant silence on the line told Carol the issue was moreplicated than it seemed.


    "Ynda?"


    "Sis, let''s not get into this. I''ll handle it, okay? Maybe we should keep our distance for a while. I


    appreciate everything you''ve done, but Felix has been sending me warnings. I gotta hang up now."

    Carol was anxious, but the call had been cut.


    She tried redialing, only to find out she''d been blocked. Had Ynda blocked her?


    Carol was at a loss but knew deep down Ynda bore her no ill will.


    She sighed, acknowledging that she was barely keeping her own head above water and had done


    all she could for her cousin.


    On Christmas'' Day, she wandered untilte afternoon, watching as snowkes began to drift down


    from the sky.


    She remembered how Abner, no matter how busy, would alwayse home for the holidays and


    bring her gifts.


    She had been spoiled by him, always getting what she wanted, never imagining a day when she


    wouldn''t want to return home.


    The truth about Abner killing someone in a car ident was clear; it indeed was an ident


    caused by him.


    But at that time, he had hushed it up using his connections and paid off the other party, who then


    ran off with the money, leaving the victim''s family with nothing. Abner, not wanting to draw attention,


    left it all to his assistant and was unaware thepany he acquired belonged to the Listina family.


    The Miller family had been working towards that acquisition for a long time; the car ident or not,


    the takeover of the Geo familypany was inevitable.


    Carol wasn''t defending her father—he was guilty of manughter. But that wasn’t a reason for


    Felix, Listina, and Nathan to deceive her together.


    She found a bench covered in a thickyer of snow and sat down, brushing the cold kes aside,


    her hands shaking from the chill.


    A car stopped in front of her. Ironically, it was the one she had given to Nathan, and it was under


    Maja’s name.


    Back then, Maja wanted to avoid entanglement with Ian, so Nathan yed the part of her husband.


    To show her gratitude, Carol had gifted Nathan a car.


    That very car now sat before her.


    And inside was Nathan himself, his unremarkable face appearing as the car window rolled down.
