Lucas smirked. Seeing Mary look so regretful and small made him feel a bit better. After all, that old lady had been so blind before.
Wesley quickly stepped in to smooth things over, trying to ease the awkward tension. “Alright, alright. You two just found each other. It takes time to adjust. Noey, don’t take it to heart. If you need anything, just tell me. Don’t be shy!”
Noelle looked up and quietly studied Wesley.
She didn’t have much of an impression of him. In the Guzman Residence, he was almost invisible. He came from an average background and had married into the family.
Mary might be extreme and had done awful things. She even had emotional issues because of it. But at least her desire to find her daughter was real.
But what about him?
What part had he played in the “search for their daughter” all these years?
Noelle just stared at Wesley and said nothing.
Her gaze was so sharp, like she could see right through him. Wesley’s smile slowly stiffened, and he suddenly felt uneasy for no
reason.
A housekeeper suddenly rushed in and whispered something to Angus.
Angus suddenly got worried and said, “What? Alina’s back?! Let her in! Where has she been? Why is she only coming back now?t
Noelle’s three uncles and seven cousins all turned to look.
Alina stumbled into the room. She was deathly pale, and her light–colored dress was covered in dark, dried bloodstains. Her hair was a mess, and she looked exhausted and terrifying.
“Alina
“You’re hurt? What happened? Quick, call a doctor!”
“No need.” Alina’s voice was hoarse. “The blood isn’t mine. I’m not hurt,” she weakly responded to the family members crudung around her
Her eyes looked past the crowd and locked straight onto Noelle

She drove to the so–called crash site like she’d lost her mind. There was only one thought in her head, Noelle has to be okay!
When she got there, the place was a mess. An overturned SUV was leaking gas and looked like it could explode any second. Someone was trapped underneath it.
She didn’t think. She didn’t care about the danger. She rushed over and tried to lift the car with her bare hands.
Sharp metal and broken glass cut her palms and arms. Oil and blood mixed together, staining her clothes and skin. She used every bit of strength she had and dragged the unconscious person out from under the car.
Only after pulling them to a safe distance did she collapse, completely drained, gasping for air.
Then, with shaking hands, she brushed the bloody hair away from the person’s face. She froze.
It wasn’t Noelle.
It was a total stranger.
She didn’t know if she felt more relieved or more terrified.
My sister is fine… Thank God…
Then, she looked up and saw a massive digital billboard on the side of a nearby skyscraper.
It was broadcasting the Guzmans‘ homecoming party. The camera zoomed in on the calm, beautiful girl on stage–Noelle.
She watched as Angus personally confirmed Noelle’s identity. Watched Noelle take off her mask and reveal a face so similar to Mary’s. Watched her uncles surround her. Watched as she calmly accepted the spotlight and Alliance 749’s congratulations.
So, she was okay.
And she had returned in a way no one could ignore, to her rightful place.
Angus checked Alina over once again. Only after making sure she wasn’t hurt did he relax. “How did you end up like this?”
Her voice was hoarse. “I–I’m fine. There was just an accident on the road. I stopped to help.”
“Well, as long as you’re safe! Oh, you have to see your sister!”
