Chapter 354 Having Something on Her
He hadn’t expected to receive a message from someone he hadn’t heard from in a long time.
It turned out Amelie was still alive.
“What’s wrong? You look so happy.”
The couple sitting at the dining table looked at him curiously.
“No, nothing.”
Aaron said quickly, waving his hands. He was afraid that they would find out.
He remembered Amelie’s warning against him revealing her identity to anyone, lest it put her in danger.
“Mom and Dad, I have something to do. If you need anything, just call me.”
He said before hurrying out.
Amelie had arrived at her destination. Instead of going directly into the villa, she found a hidden spot to wait.
After a while, she saw Aaron approaching.
She then hurried over.
“Aaron, it’s been so long.”
Aaron was overjoyed to see Amelie, whom he had missed so much.
“Amelie, you finally show up. Do you have any idea how hard we’ve been searching for you these past three years? Where have you been?”
He said with concern.
For a moment, Amelie didn’t know how to explain. She was so happy to see Aaron again.
“I’m sorry Aaron. I have my reasons for keeping my identity hidden. If anyone found out who I am, it could put you all in danger. But knowing that you’re with our parents gives me peace of mind.”
“What happened to make you hide from your family for three years? How long do you plan on keeping this up?”
Amelie clenched her fists and hesitated.
She couldn’t let her family be put in danger.
With that thought in mind, she decided not to tell them the truth.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
She said evasively.
Aaron could tell that she wasn’t being completely honest but didn’t press the issue. He simply nodded.
“Since you’ve said that, I won’t ask any more questions. But you must ensure your safety no matter what. There must be no problems. Although our family doesn’t have much status here, it’s different abroad. Now that our parents are hale, I’ve discussed with them to grow our foreign assets. That way, we’ll have a way to come back in the future.”
Aaron said solemnly, trying to comfort her.
“Aaron, there’s one thing I hope you can check for me.”
“What is it?”
At the Byron family’s villa, Lamont pushed open the door.
The nanny heard the sound and hurried over.
“Sir? Why are you back so early?”
Lamont didn’t reply but walked straight into the study.
He closed the door, turned on the computer, and inserted a flash drive.
As he looked at the photos displayed on the screen, he examined each one carefully.
He finally figured out Amelie’s true identity.
“So, it really is you. But why did you lie to me?”
He muttered to himself.
The next day, the media was filled with reports about the daughter of the Aylward family. They didn’t pay attention to anything else.
