Chapter 717
Just as Jenna was speaking with Madam Lilian and Trevor, Hansen left as he had some matters to
attend to.
After a while, Jaqueline came in gracefully.
"Madam Lilian, it''s a pleasure to meet you. I''m Jaqueline Moore." Jaqueline came in and bowed
respectfully to Madam Lilian and introduced herself with a smile after greeting Trevor and Marissa.
She was born into a good family, was knowledgeable, and possessed good qualities and self-
confidence. Therefore, in front of Madam Lilian, she was naturally well- mannered and considerate
while ring her style of a notabledy.

Madam Lilian nced at her with a faint smile on her face.
"Miss Moore, hello. It''s nice to meet you."
"Madam, it''s my honor to meet you. When I was studying abroad, my ssmates often mentioned
you and admired you. I may have to ask for your advice in the future, Madam Lilian." Jaqueline
smiled sweetly, and her voice was crisp and sweet.
When Madam Lilian heard this, she smiled lightly and spoke.
"Miss Moore, I''m just an ordinary woman, just like everyone else in the world. I''m just relying on my
diligence and luck to be where I am now. I believe that you''ll be far ahead of me in the future, Miss
Moore. You have great potential."
"Madam, you are too modest." Jaqueline replied with genuine appreciation, "Madam, I have seen
your memoir, and only then did I know that you are also from A City. I am really proud after knowing
this. In the memoir, I read that you have an unforgettable memory when you were in A city."
In order to meet Madam Lilian, Jaqueline had gone to great lengths to find the memoir written by
Madam Lilian in order to understand her past. Although it was not exined in detail what the
unforgettable memory was, Jaqueline wanted to use it as an opportunity to have a casual talk with
Madam Lilian to narrow the distance between them.
However, it was obvious that she had miscalcted that time.
"I think your unforgettable memory in A city must be very inspiring. Would you please tell us to
encourage our young ones?" She continued topliment her with a smile.
Madam Lilian''s smile froze for a moment, and her eyes dimmed.
After a while, Madam Lilian looked at her and asked calmly, "Miss Moore, you seem to be polite and
well-dressed. You must havee from a noble family, right?"
Trevor heard her from the side and quickly replied, "Madam, Miss Jaqueline is a famous youngdy
in Capital City. She excels in piano, chess, her studies, and painting. She''s the great-granddaughter
of the well-known Johan Moore of the Moore family in Capital City. She has been brought up
carefully by Johan Moore since young and is raised well, as well as being outstanding. The Moore
family is a well-known family in Capital City. Madam, I think you''ve heard of them."
Trevor exined with great interest. He did not notice that Madam Lilian''s gaze was gradually
turning dark.
"Madam, Uncle Richards'' praises are just to tter me. I am not as good as he said. However,
Madam, my father, Nuncio Moore, is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He admires you very much
and would talk about you all the time. All he wants to do is to visit you." Jaqueline was aware of
Nuncio''s intentions staying in Richards Manor. She smiled sweetly whileplimenting and
acknowledging Nuncio.
Arguably, an internationally-renowned person like Madam Lilian could have ignored the affairs of the
country, but she would definitely have a good impression of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After all,
they might contact each other in the future. What was more, since the Minister of Foreign Affairs
represented a country, she would at the very least have the courtesy by meeting up with him.
However, Jaqueline was gradually surprised to find that Madam Lilian''s expression had remained
indifferent. After hearing their conversation, except for the superficial smile of hers, her facial
expression remained dark, and even the smile seemed a little icy in Jaqueline''s eyes.
"All the big shots should be like this. They are hard to figure out."
Jaqueline thought in this way, and didn''t give much thought to it.
Right then, Quina, who was standing at the side, silently nced at Madam Lilian. Her heart was as
clear as a mirror. It would be strange if Madam Lilian had a good impression of Johan Moore or the
Moore family. However, she did not say anything. She only stood up and reminded her in a low
voice. "Madam, it''s not frequent for you toe to Richards Manor. It''s a good opportunity to take a
walk in the manor, rx, talk about the old days, and enjoy the scenery."
When Madam Lilian heard that, she was satisfied. She immediately nodded and said, "Quina is
right. It''s not advisable for an olddy to sit for a long time. So, why not go out for a walk? What do
you think?"
As she spoke, she looked at Trevor.
"That''s right, Madam. Let''s go together." Trevor and Marissa immediately stood up and said
enthusiastically.
Madam Lilian smiled and nodded. "Thank you then."
Marissa immediately smiled. "It''s our honor that you''re willing toe and view our garden. We''re
really happy about it. It''s just that until recently, Richards Manor had been quite chaotic and there
are ces where it''scking. Please don''t mind them."
When Madam Lilian heard this, sheughed out loud and didn''t mind at all.
"Richards Manor has endured centuries of wind and rain. There had been many times where I
dreamt ofing here. Today, I can take a look and reminisce about the past."
As she said this, Quina supported her left arm, and Jenna supported her right arm to help her stand
up.
"Jenna,e, follow me." Madam Lilian saw Jenna holding her hand, hurriedly took her hand, and
spoke with a loving smile.
"It''s alright, Madam." Jenna was always doted upon by Madam Lilian. She felt like she was being
spoiled by her only. However, she felt very uneasy. After all, her father-inw and mother-inw
were still present. Besides that, there was a feeling that she was being biased. She wanted to pull
her hand away from Madam Lilian''s hand. However, Madam Lilian seemed to have made up her
mind to let everyone know that Jenna was the one she cared about the most. She held her hand
forcefully, smiling and showering her with affection.
Jenna had no choice but to be led by Madam Lilian and follow her, with a happy smile on her face.
She had never enjoyed such love since her father died. Right then, Madam Lilian gave her this
feeling, which made up for her attachment to her loved ones in her heart.
The group of people walked slowly, talking andughing.
Jaqueline followed by her side. There were many times that she wanted to get close to Madam
Lilian, but she was given the cold shoulder repeatedly. Being ignored once or twice wouldn''t have
mattered to her. Slowly, she realized, however, that Madam Lilian didn''t seem to have much of a
good impression on her.
She doted upon Jenna very much, as if she were her biological granddaughter.
At the thought of this, Jaqueline felt a little disappointed.
