The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980 The Lost Girl

Being linked to grain was one thing, but now they were comparing them?

Just then, Abel walked in. He was followed by a little well–behaved girl.

Finished

Stella and Abraham’s wedding had brought powerful figures from all directions to Falvaria. Abel was running ragged, busy receiving them.

But… this little girl?

Stella looked at Abel, her eyes asking which family’s daughter she was.

Abel respectfully stepped forward: “Miss.”

Stella: “And this is?”

“I, I don’t know him.” The little girl greeted them shyly, seeming startled by so many people.

Looking at the girl’s chubby, well–behaved appearance, Stella glanced at Abel. What was going on?

Especially since the little girl was hiding behind Abel, constantly tugging on his sleeve as she spoke? She didn’t know him? Yet she was right by Abel’s side…?

Abel, slightly annoyed by the tugging, pulled his sleeve free: “I dropped Mr. Grant off at Kleinville and was on my way back. While I was at the service area buying a bottle of water, I came back to find an extra person in the car.”

Mr. Grant was one of Abraham’s good friends. He had helped Abraham significantly when the Dawson family suffered its upheaval three years ago. He had been staying in Aluren all these years. Abel said he was dropping him off at Kleinville, likely because Mr. Grant had business there.

But this…

“Picked up at a service area?” Stella frowned and asked.

Abel nodded: “I didn’t pick her up; she got into the wrong car.” He wasn’t that charitable.

Got into the wrong car? Uh, this…

“Then why did you bring her back?”

It wasn’t surprising Stella was asking so many questions. Having grown up in a place like the Dawson family, she naturally had a higher degree of vigilance.

It was this serious questioning that made the little girl, hiding behind Abel, well up with tears. “I, I don’t remember my brother’s or my parents‘ phone numbers

Stella: “Where were you going?”

“To Feldville.”

“Where do you live?”

“Sinoria Archipelago. My home is on the Zuoqun Peninsula.”

Stella: “…” Sinoria Archipelago wasn’t close, over two thousand kilometers away, and it was also two thousand kilometers from here to Feldville. What was even more ridiculous was that Sinoria Archipelago was underdeveloped and had no airport. Feldville, of course had one.

“But didn’t they call you?”

“The phone is in my brother’s car.”

Stella: “…” This was… truly baffling!

Stella looked at Abel: “Buy her a ticket to Feldville?”

“I don’t have an ID card, and even if I went there, I wouldn’t be able to find them.” As she said this, the little girl looked even more on the verge of tears.

Stella: “…”

Tessa, Rianne: “…”

So, they actually lost the person?

Seeing Stella ask so many questions, Abel knew what she was worried about: that the girl’s origins were suspicious, especially with their wedding fast approaching.

Abel stepped forward: “Don’t worry, her identity has been checked. She’s a fisher’s daughter from a village.” Her record was clean. The problem now was how to send her home, and it had become a headache. She couldn’t take a plane without an ID, and security for identification checks was extremely strict in Falvaria; all forms of transport required documentation.

Stella looked at the little girl: “What’s your name?”

“Marin.”

The little girl answered obediently, her teary, large eyes looking incredibly pitiful.

Just then, Abraham arrived. Seeing the scene, he asked for an explanation. Abel recounted everything he had just told Stella to Abraham.

Abraham listened, then frowned: “Abel, your vigilance is usually very high.” His tone was serious; he clearly didn’t believe Abel would make such a low–level mistake

To put it plainly, with his and Stella’s wedding imminent, the entire security system of Falvaria had been raised to the highest level. Not to mention anyone who could show up at the Dawson family at a time like this.

Abel: “I… I was in a hurry to get back and completely didn’t realize someone was asleep in the back seat.”

Stella, Tessa, Rianne: “…” Someone was sleeping?! So Marin fell asleep the moment she got into the car?

Hearing this, Lilian looked at Abraham, even more tearfully: “I get car sick. I got out to use the restroom, and as soon as I got back in the car, I fell asleep again, boohoo-”

Abraham’s presence was too strong. Lilian burst into tears after only a few words. Her life had been very simple since she was little: her parents were fishers, and her brother worked in technology. She was traveling to Feldville with her brother this time because he had worked there for three years and bought a house with his own earnings. He wanted their parents to move there to enjoy their golden years, and he had

also found a small clerical job for her there.
