Irene lowered her head and said softly, "Three thousand dollars.""Oh, that's a small sum! You should have told me about it earlier. I would have helped you with that." Mr. Woods pretended to be generous. "It's also okay if Sam helps you. Since you want to resign, I'll settle your pay tomorrow.""Thank you, Mr. Woods.""Don't mention it. I will give you a little more money. This would have been your grandmother's pension for all the years of service. You can use it to pay your school fees," Mr. Woods said.Irene was extremely grateful. She immediately thanked him, "Thank you! I thank you on Grandma's behalf!""Thank you for taking care of Lucas these past few months," Mr. Woods said. "It's late. Go home!""Okay! I'll clean the kitchen and leave." Irene cleared the plates from the dining table.Mr. Woods walked to Lucas' room. Lucas did not lock his room. Mr. Woods turned the doorknob, pushed the door, and entered.When Irene had finished tidying up and was about to leave, Mr. W

"That's fine, too. Just stay in Taronia and settle down here," Irene's teacher said with a smile.Irene smiled, too."When I get back, I'll send all the exam answers to you. You can judge them for yourself," said Irene's teacher. It would be great if you could get into Turlington University!""Irene, did you get into Turlington University?" asked a curious student, who had heard the conversation between Irene and her teacher. Irene shook her head. "The results are not out yet. I don't know either.""Irene's mock exam results were quite good." Irene's teacher praised her."Miss, the mock exam was much easier than the exam this time. I didn't know quite a lot of math questions," said another student. "Irene, did you do all the math questions?"Irene shook her head. "I did, but they might not be correct.""Irene, you're amazing. You even quit school…" "Irene did not quit school. She was homeschooled," Irene's teacher said, standing up for Irene. "She had it tough. Even if yo

"There are still many good people in this world! Irene, when you get into Turlington University, you have to maintain your good hardworking attitude. If you want to have any achievements, you have to work much harder than others. Only you can get yourself there," Irene's teacher said."I understand, Miss."After the call, Irene went to the bathroom to wash up.She looked at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath and decided that she would start her brand new life today.As long as there were no accidents, she should be able to get into Turlington University.After working hard for so long, she finally had some good results. She was extremely excited and elated.She carefully peeled the scar off her face. She looked at her true self in the mirror. She tried to smile at herself. The future would only get better.In Aryadelle, summer break was approaching.In Elliot's mansion, everyone started discussing where Robert should work during the summer.Initially, no one had b

Robert did not know what to say because his sister was right."Layla, there's no hurry. Take it slow," Elliot said. "Fate works in the strangest ways. You won't find what you want if you look for it. Participate in more events, and who knows, maybe you will find someone who is meant to be in your life.""Dad, I thought you didn't want me to come home too late. Everyone needs to work during the day, and most social events take place at night…" Layla chuckled.Avery, too, could not help but giggle. "Your dad lives in his own bubble. He didn't have to put much effort into getting himself a wife, so he thinks it's that easy for everyone.""I can tell," Layla said. "Can I come home before nine from now on, then?""As long as you take your bodyguard with you, yes," Avery said before Elliot had the chance to say anything."I'm going out tonight, then. I will be home late," Layla chirped. "I want to go to the night market. Robert, come with me!""Sis, if you are going there to look for

If she did not need to work, her parents would have taken her to Bridgedale.It had been a year since Layla had started working at Tate Industries. Time had flown by.It had been a year of growth for her.Her parents had begun to stay out of her personal and work life. Though she struggled to adjust, she knew that it was a necessary burden if she wanted to grow as a person.That night she returned home after a long day at the office. She thought that silence would be the only one there to greet her, but when she got home Kiara and Rose were there. Shea had brought them over."Layla, your parents haven't arrived at Bridgedale, right? I didn't want you to feel bored alone at home, so I brought Kiara and Rose here," Shea said with a smile."You are the best, Aunt Shea! Mom and Dad took Robert with them to Bridgedale, and I was kind of upset about it this morning, but I feel so much better to see you guys here."Layla patted Kiara on the head before doing the same to Rose."What ar

At eight in the morning, Irene arrived at the Hightide Church.She did not remember much about the church as she had been young when she left the church. She only remembered a few details about the dorm she had lived in. However, she felt something for the church.She never had a home, but the church felt like the closest thing she had to home. When she arrived the church had just opened, and she approached a member of the staff who was on duty. "Is Sister Arya here?"The staff was shocked for a moment before nodding. "Do you have an appointment?"Irene shook her head. "No. There's a dormitory behind the church with a lot of kids, and I used to live there when I was little.""What’s your name? Your name when you lived here.""Irene.""Sure. Hang on a minute." The staff turned and hurried toward the backyard.Irene intended to wait there, but she could not help but follow the person she had spoken to, who was now heading toward the backyard.Shortly after, Sister Arya came ou

Rose immediately darted off toward the backyard.Kiara was about to catch up with her sister when Rose skipped ahead of her again. "Mom! Hurry! Rose is running off!" Kiara yelled toward Shea.Shea was more tepid by nature, and Kiara was just like her."Let's just sit and rest in the dormitory. Your sister will find us later," Shea said gently."No! We need to catch up with Rose. I want to see what her best friend looks like," Kiara said before dragging her mother toward the backyard.Meanwhile, Irene and Sister Arya had been chatting in the backyard for half an hour when Sister Arya suddenly remembered something."Rose called me last night and said that she is coming to visit today. If you don't want to see her, I won't keep you here for lunch," she said.Irene paused and panicked at the coincidence.After a brief moment of consideration, she decided to leave. She had accomplished what she had come here for and had no regrets. Just as she bid farewell to Sister Arya, she hear

Shea and Rose had the same innocent look in their eyes and anyone could sense how passionate they were from the way they spoke."Irene, just say yes! Rose keeps talking about you! You have always been her best friend," Shea said with a smile. "She spends most of her time with Kiara, so she doesn't have any other close friends."Irene turned to look at the girl next to Shea, who was slimmer and shorter.Kiara looked at Irene sheepishly, not daring to speak."Irene, this is my younger sister, Kiara." Seeing as how Irene did not say anything, Rose pulled Kiara to her and made the introductions.Irene nodded."It's settled then. I will call Wesley and tell him to get a room ready." Shea smiled before walking away to make the phone call.It was too late for Irene to protest, and she asked dazedly, "Who is Wesley?""That's our dad," Rose said. "Aunt Avery took me down the hill and they are the people who adopted me. They treat me like their own. Even Kiara sees me as her real sister,
