“Why are you answering Zoe’s phone?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at her serious tour. She looked so cute while being stern. Hearing fane’s wice. Felis pied for a moment, then he explained
gemily

Jane didn’t let him fish, cutting him off mid sentence
“We will call here mimotes
She immediately hung up and then high fived me.
“Am I a smart riri, mommy?”
The thought of Felix getting dismissed by a four–year–old was so amusing that I broke into a fit of laughter,
“Yes, you are brilhant, my daughtert.
Jane looked at me for a moment and then raised her small hands, cradling my fare. Her innocent tone was filled with concern as she spoke
“It’s been so long since I have seen you Laughing like this, mommy.”
Her observation malted my heart into a puddle, making me realize how much stress I’d been carrying. Having such a perceptive daughter was indeed the best part of my life
Zoe called back after ten minstes, and they talked about their engineering projects. It excited my Jane for tomorrow’s activities. She was so full of energy that it took me a while to put her to sleep.
Any mother with young kids could relate to my exhaustion after Jane’s bedtime. So, I poured myself a glass of wine and played soft music to relax.
But it was just my wishful thinking!
The very moment I sat down to unwind, my cell phone rang Seeing that familiar number flashing on the screen sent a chill down my spine. I pressed the green icon with trembling hands to receive the call
“You have been back for days, and yet, you haven’t come to see me in person? Camso daappointed!”
In the luxurious hotel suite, lost my confident demeanor while facing the distinguished gentleman before me. That phone call had summoned me to meet an important person in my life, so I didn’t waste time and came to meet my benefactor.
Six feet tall, perfectly groomed man, dressed in an expensive sat was none other than my elder brother, Henry Chen, the apple of my eyes
Currently, I was holding his hand with a playful pour be avoid his displeasure with my cuteness.
“I am so sorry, brother!”
My pitous tone didn’t get any sympathy from Henry as his stern expressions sent shivers down my spine. But still, I tried to calm his anger,
“You know my situation. I have to keep a low profile after returning.”
Tapping his foot on the floor restlessly, Hergy exuded a dominant aura which commanded respect without fury, I had expected him to scold me because of my carelesues, but instead, he said,
“I am truly proud of your success so far, Driebe
His voice became emotional as his eyes sparkled with tears. His brotherly love brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t hold back my emot lot and i It was indeed my brother’s support that had enabled me to achieve this much during the past few years.
Chapter 53
My parents had never cared about me after Dad’s death. Henry had looked after me as an elder brother since childhout informed my brother. And for my mother and stepfather, I had simply vanished under mysterios circumstances. They didn’t detectives or pressure law enforcement agencies to investigate my disappearance thoroughly.
The irony was that Melody and Felix had permanent places in my mother’s and stepfather’s business dealings,
As my former friend, I had always thought well of Melody and even asked my father’s old business contacts to help her find opportunities And even after destroying my life, she was thriving in her career,
Not to mention Felix. He was deeply favored by my mother and stepfather after our marriage. They had showered him with their resources, never suspecting him once of my disappearance,
Well, I told Henry about Melody’s recent aggression. He promised me.
“An employee with a history of workplace violence isn’t acceptable in any professional environment. I will convince some mutual contacts to Emir her opportunities when she’s out of Reed Aerospace. Don’t worry!”
His siveet assurance soothed my tense muscles. My brother was the only person in my life I could rely on. He gave me the important document related to Telix’s business vulnerabilities as requested and questioned me.
“What’s your plan for Felix, Drielle?
Reading through the documents, I focused on the technical details of his recent projects. A cold glint flickered in my eyes as I replied to Heary:
“I am going to make sure that he experiences what it feels like to be trampled by someone you once dismissed and despised by the industry. Just w and watch!”
