After finishing his sentence, Sam nced at the young woman standing next to Dani. He pondered for a moment, realizing he hadn''t seen her before. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Sis, who''s this?"


    Catching on, Dani quickly introduced her. "This is Yara, Sheldon ke''s daughter. You might not remember her."


    Hearing this, Sam''s initially sharp gaze softened a bit. Having spent years in the military, he hadn''t had much contact with the prominent families in Riverdale, so it was normal for him not to recognize her.


    Although Sam didn''t know Yara, Yara had heard of Sam. She nodded gracefully at him. "Nice to meet you, Uncle Sam."


    Sam nodded back in acknowledgment.


    Yara then turned to Dani with a smile. "Aunt Dani, I won''t keep you any longer today. I''ll ask for your advice on history another time."


    Considering her brother-inw had just returned home after a long time, Dani felt slightly apologetic. "That''s fine. I''ll give you a call when I''m free to reschedule."


    "Okay, Aunt Dani, Uncle Sam, I''ll be leaving now." Yara politely nodded at them both and quickly left the Shepherd''s residence.


    Once she had gone, Dani turned back to her brother-inw. "What do you think of Yara? She''s quite knowledgeable and well-mannered, isn''t she?"


    "She does seem well-bred," Sammented, a rarepliment from him. After a pause, something urred to him. "Sis, you''re not thinking of introducing her to Luke, are you?"


    Dani shook her head with a smile. "I just think she''s a talented young woman. She''s a master''s student in mathematics at Prestige College and might be a professor in the science and technology department there."


    Although she had this in mind, she knew her son''s personality very well.


    Sam was somewhat surprised. "That impressive?"


    Prestige College was the top-ranked institution in the country. Bing a professor there was no small feat.


    "Yes, Sheldon ke might not have achieved much, but he raised a talented daughter," Dani remarked.


    Sam wasn''t familiar with the ke


    family and simply nodded. But soon,


    he looked at Dani again. "By the way, Sis, did you know Luke went to Prestige College to be a drill


    ЭЛИМЕ


    instructor for the new students?"


    Dani was taken aback. "A drill instructor? He didn''t tell me about it."


    "I just got back from Prestige College. Thought you knew," Sam said with a smile.


    "Why would he go to Prestige College to be a drill instructor?" Dani asked, puzzled.


    Thinking it best to avoid any misunderstandings, Sam didn''t hold back. "He might have someone he''s interested in."


    Hearing this, Dani was stunned


    for a moment before a hint of excitement crept into her


    mean he''s interested in Sone?"


    Sam coughed. "Possibly. Otherwise, that kid wouldn''t be at Prestige College ying drill instructor."


    "So, the girl he''s interested in is a freshman?" Dani quickly put two and two together.


    "I''m not entirely sure. Luke mentioned it''s not quite settled yet, probably means the girl isn''t interested," Sam concluded.


    Dani was quite shocked. "Someone''s not interested in my son?"


    Realizing he might have said too much, Sam replied, "I don''t know anything about


    it."


    With that, he headed inside the house.


    Dani stood there, still processing the fact that someone might not be interested in her son. After a while, she could onlye to one conclusion: Kids who aren''t swayed by looks are good kids.

    Indeed.


    Meanwhile, after leaving the Shepherd''s residence, Yara asked her driver to take


    her back to Prestige College.
