Chapter 156
“Yeah. Her eyes are a carbon copy of yours.” The manager forced a smile onto his face as he watched
his arm turning red under Julia’s grip. Tears welled up in Julia’s eyes immediately. “It must be Rina. It has
to be her! She isn’t dead! She’s still alive! Where’s that girl now, sir?” Julia’s cheeks were soaked with
tears as she questioned the manager in a trembling voice. “She left just a while ago, so she might still be
in the mall,” the manager replied. Right after the manager answered her question, Julia sprinted out of
the store without even bothering to take her handbag with her. She ran around in search of a girl who
might be her eldest daughter. After hunting around the entire mall, she couldn’t find anyone who wore the
ne or shared the same eyes as her. Julia eventually returned to DT Jewelry with a dejected look
on her face. The manager quickly brought her a ss of warm water.
“Did you find her, Mrs. Gray?” “No,” Julia said while shaking her head. “Don’t give up just yet. I’m sure
you’ll be able to find her since she’s in Seafield.” The manager offered her some words offort. He
wasn’t sure how Julia and the otherdy Julia referred to as ‘Rina’ were rted, but he assumed they
were close since Julia seemed to care for Rina a lot.
“Thank you.” Julia tugged her lips to give him a smile. She pulled her card out and paid for her bracelet
before she rushed back to the Gray Residence. “Honey!” Julia cried once she stepped foot into the
house. Titus hurried down from upstairs. “Didn’t you go shopping at the mall? Why are you back so
soon?” “Rina’s alive, honey!” Julia cried as she looked up toward Titus, who was descending from the
stairs. Titus nearly slipped when he heard Julia’s words. What did you say?” He grabbed onto the railing
on the stairway as he met gazes with Julia. She sped her hands together as she repeated her words.
“Rina’s alive! Our eldest daughter is still alive!” “Nonsense.” Titus frowned as he continued to walk down
the stairs. “You must have encountered some swindler. In the past, there’s been a number of them who
attempted to convince us that our daughter’s alive, but they’re just saying all of that to scam our money.”
“It’s different this time. Rina had the ne. It was this one…” Julia quickly held her ne up. “Rina
brought the daughter’s ne and asked about it at DT Jewelry, and the store manager told me that
Rina has my eyes. I have a feeling the girl that the manager saw is Rina, Titus.” Titus was utterly dazed
by her sudden statement. “How could that be possible? Rina drowned because of Henry—we all saw it
with our eyes.”
“We saw it happen, but didn’t the police tell us that they couldn’t find Rina’s dead body in the end?
Perhaps she didn’t die after she was thrown into the river. Perhaps someone jumped in and helped her
out. A girl who has my eyes and owns the daughter’s ne showed up—how else can we exin
this?” Julia clutched on her ne as she spoke. “Give me some time.” Titus pressed a palm against
his forehead.
“Mom, Dad. What are you guys talking about?” Tina came down from upstairs and stumbled upon Julia
and Titus’s flustered expressions. Tina was too curious to stop herself from asking. Julia held onto Tina’s
arm immediately. “Your sister isn’t dead, Tina. She’s alive.” “What?” Tina froze for a moment before she
widened her eyes. “Did you just say that Rina’s alive, Mom?” “Yeah. She’s alive. She’s somewhere in
Fredburg.” Julia nodded excitedly.

Tina lowered her gaze as a threatening look filled her eyes. I can’t believe it. Rina’s not dead. Judging by
the look of joy on my mother’s face, it seems like she’s ready to get Rina toe back home. Rina will
get Mom’s full attention if that happens, and I’ll be practically invisible in this house. No. I can’t allow Rina
to return. My inheritance, the Gray Family’s wealth, my parents’ love… All of that would be halved if
Rina’s back. I can’t let that happen.
Tina bit her lower lip and stered a smile on her face as she looked at her mother. “That’s great.
Where’s Rina now, Mom?” she asked in a careful tone. Tina wanted to know her sister’s whereabouts so
that she could get to her sister before her parents did. Tina wanted to get rid of Rina first.
However, Julia’s expression dimmed when she heard Tina’s question. “I only happened to find out about
this today. I still don’t know where Rina is for now.” “I see.” Tina nodded slowly as she squeezed her
brows together. Mom and Dad couldn’t have been scammed, could they? Regardless, I’ll still have to get
to the bottom of this matter. Of course, everything would be fine if all of this was just fake news.
However, if it’s true, then I’ll have to chase Rina off.
I don’t care about this ‘sister’ of mine, anyway. Tina continued to question her mother. “How did you find
out that Rina’s still alive, Mom?” “This ne.” Julia began to exin the incident that urred in DT
Jewelry. Tina balled her hands into fists as she listened to her mother’s story. It seems like that woman
might really be Rina. I can’t believe Rina’s so lucky. How did she not die after all of that? “I’m having
dinner at the Fullers tonight, Mom. I’ll be leaving now.” Tina lowered her gaze as she rxed her
clenched fists.
She had to find Rina before they did—it’d be toote if her parents were to find Rina first. Julia nodded.
“Alright, off you go.” Tina nted a kiss on her mother’s cheek before she strode off toward the exit. Julia
turned back to her husband once Tina left. “Let’s try to find Rina as soon as possible, honey. I don’t know
how she has been in the past 20 years. My heart aches whenever I think of how she might have suffered
during that period.” Julia pounded a fist against her chest. “Don’t worry. I promise to find our daughter,
and I promise that she’ll be back with us soon.”
Titus felt his heart aching at the sight of his wife’s sorrow, and he quickly pulled her in for a tight hug.
“But… I’m worried that Rina might not want to return to us. What if she thinks that we didn’t want her?
What if she hates us because she thinks that we abandoned her?” Julia felt both excited and fearful to
see her daughter. “That’s not going to happen. I’m sure that Rina must be looking for us since she
brought the ne over to ask about it,” Titus replied. Julia shook her head.
“ording to what the manager said, it seems like Rina already knew that you were the one who hired
someone to design the ne. In that case, Rina must know that we’re her parents. I’m worried that
she might not wish to approach us at all.” Titus sighed. “Let’s give her a few days. She might approach
us by then. We can just look for her otherwise. We can use your ne—we’d just have to upload a
picture of it online.
Rina will know that we’re looking for her, and she’ll understand that we didn’t abandon her. She might
come to us after that.” “That’s true.” Julia nodded. … Sonia had no idea that the Gray Family knew about
her queries in the jewelry store. After she left the mall, Sonia drove to the hospital to meet Rose. She
wanted to ask Rose for information regarding matters between the Reeds and the Grays 20 years ago.
However, things didn’t go as nned—Sonia’s car broke down on the way to the hospital, and the tow
truck took a long while to show up. She ended up waiting by the roadside in the cold weather for nearly
two hours. “That’s Miss Reed, President Fuller!” Tom was in the car with Toby, and he eximed when
he saw Sonia by the roadside. The elegant, ssy man in the back seat opened his eyes to nce out
the window.
He knitted his defined brows when he saw the girl waiting by the side of the road. What’s she doing? It’s
freezing cold out there; why is she squatting by the side of the road?
“Make a U-turn,” Toby ordered. Tom immediately nodded and spun the wheel to turn back to where
Sonia’s car was stopped. The Maybach came to a halt in front of Sonia, and Tom rolled the window down
to call her. “Get in the car, Miss Reed.”
