Chapter 385 They''ve All Come


    Idris pursed his lips and suddenly reached out to hold my hand. His voice was low and restrained.


    "Perhaps the gods do exist, and your father simply found another way to exist in this world."


    Seeing him mention my father, I smiled but did not refute.


    I stood up and said, "Let''s go back."


    We walked very slowly down the one hundred and eight steps in front of the cathedral. As I followed


    him, I could not help but ask, "Idris, do you have any dreams?"


    He turned to look at me, slightly furrowing his brows. "Dreams?"


    I nodded. "If you weren''t the CEO of the Young Corporation, what would you most likely be doing?"


    He shook his head. "I''ve never thought about it."


    I pressed my lips together and asked, "Do you have any special talents?"


    Perhaps my questions were too strange, but he stopped and looked at me seriously. After a while,


    he said, "Are you worried about me?"


    I shook my head and changed the subject. "No, just asking."


    He remained calm and smiled helplessly. "It''s just some insignificant public opinion which can''t harm


    me or shake anything within the Young Corporation. It''s just a minor setback, something that Young


    Corporation encounters every year, so don''t worry."


    I was not concerned about the ident at the forest, nor was I worried that Jack''s death would


    implicate him. I was worried about the hundreds of people who were buried ten years ago, a matter


    closely rted to the Youngs.


    Once the truth came to light, the consequences would be unimaginable. Regardless of how wealthy


    the Youngs were, they probably could notpensate for the lives of those hundreds of people.


    I could not tell him this, so I just smiled and said, "In any case, no matter what happens, I''ll be there


    by your side even if I can''t help you."


    He looked at me, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "Yvette, are you confessing your


    love to me?"


    I was taken aback, my face flushing slightly. I avoided his gaze and replied vaguely, "It''s gettingte;


    let''s go down the mountain."


    Without waiting for his response, I started running down the mountain on my own.


    He followed me, and I could not describe the expression on his face. Fortunately, he did not dwell


    on it and just smiled, holding my hand as we admired the scenery on the way down.


    …


    Around the end of December, the anger at the forest situation gradually calmed down. Young


    Corporationpensated the families with the most significantpensation measures and


    handled the public rtions well.


    At the same time, we received news from Officer Jackson that they had obtained information


    regarding Jack''s death. We were asked to visit the police station in Lake City after returning.


    After arranging things in Tully City, Idris and I went immediately back to Lake City.


    Having spent quite some time in Tully City and having gotten used to its temperature, I could not


    help but shiver from the cold air in Lake City when we got off the ne. It was still the festive


    season, and the airport was crowded with people.


    "Mr. Young." Charles came to pick us up and waved from a distance when he saw Idris and I.


    We both smiled upon seeing him. After leaving the airport, Charles was preparing to put the luggage


    in the trunk. I hesitated for a moment, and he looked puzzled and nced at Idris.


    Idris looked at me and noticed my hesitation. He said, "It''s ratherte now. I''ll take you back to the


    Scott Residence tomorrow."


    I bit my lip. After being away for so long, I had tried calling my mother, but she did not answer after


    several times. I also sent a message to Maxwell, thinking they woulde to pick me up, but...


    It would be a lie to say that I was not disappointed. I sighed softly and handed my luggage to


    Charles, thanking him briefly.


    "Yvette." Suddenly, a familiar voice reached my ears. I froze for a moment and turned toward the


    voice. Unexpectedly, I saw my mother, whom I had not seen in a long time. I was delighted and


    without thinking, I ran over to hug her, excitedly asking, "Mom, why are you here?"


    While hugging me back, my mother smiled and replied, "Didn''t you say you wereing back


    today? Why wouldn''t Ie? It''s sote. Let''s go home."


    Nothing couldpare to the joy of an unexpected surprise. I nodded repeatedly.


    As I regained myposure, I noticed the people apanying her were Alice and Maxwell.


    Maxwell went to help me with my luggage and seemed to be talking with Idris.


    Alice stood next to my mother, her beautiful face adorned with a faint smile. She wore a pink coat


    with a white scarf, making her beauty even more striking.


    Seeing her, I could not quite tell whether I was happy or not. I merely offered a faint smile as a


    greeting.


    The day was growingte, and after exchanging greetings, we each headed home. Idris and


    Charles left, and I naturally went with my mother and the others.


    After a long day, we returned to the Scott Residence quitete.

    My mother and I chatted about many things. Between a mother and daughter, what was there to


    hold a grudge about? Any lingering unpleasantness from our previous meeting had long since


    dissipated.


    With the time growingte, after bringing us home, Maxwell had to take Alice back. As they were


    about to part ways, I remembered the article by Firefly I had read online. I then looked at Alice and


    said, "Ms. Cruz, I had read that article online. Thank you."
