    Chapter 480 A Shocking Truth


    When her idol finally spoke, Lyra found no reason to argue. Yet, Raven shot L a sharp, wary nce before quietly sliding back into the car, her movements deliberate and tense.


    Meanwhile, inside the vi’s grounds, Tess and the others were making their way up the uneven cobblestone path leading to the house. The stones beneath their feet were rough and jagged, causing a slight difort with each step. The air was still, heavy with anticipation.


    Two elderly figures, walking alongside them, kept exchanging disapproving looks as they surveyed the surroundings. Honestly, the ce was better than what they had feared for Kylic, yet could this modest building truly be called a vi? It appeared far too small for such a grand title.


    Their eyes met, and the mutual distaste was unmistakable. If Henry had any inkling of their thoughts, he would likely have rolled his eyes in exasperation. After all, he had invested considerable effort and resources to secure this private vi in Aetheris, even movingpany assets to make it happen.


    As they continued, the imposing front door of the vi came into view. Henry stood there, impably dressed in a sharp suit, his arm wrapped protectively around Kylie’s shoulders. Their heads were close together, whispering secrets only they could hear.


    “Didn’t you already sell these off when thepany was struggling?” Kylie asked softly, clutching her shawl tightly around her.


    Henry gently adjusted the fabric, his voice calm and reassuring. “Thepany is in Tess’s hands now. After everything we’ve been through, I couldn’t bear to let you suffer any longer. So, I bought it all back for you.”


    Kylie lifted her gaze, meeting his warm, tender eyes, feeling a flicker offort. But then, something caught her attention ahead. She blushed, lowering her eyes in an attempt to hide her reaction, yet after a moment, she deliberately shifted her gaze forward.


    Instantly, her body froze, every muscle tense and unyielding.


    Henry noticed the sudden change and followed her line of sight.


    Five cold, unfamiliar faces were staring directly at them.


    Tess, the person Henry had been waiting for, stood slightly behind, supporting an elderly woman’s arm as she carefully stepped forward.


    “Why…” Kylie’s voice trembled, and her fingers shook uncontrobly. Her lips quivered as if struggling to form the words.


    Henry’s heart pounded fiercely.


    They are here…


    A wave of panic surged through him even faster than his initial shock.


    The Larsons! How did they manage to get to Aetheris so quickly? And why hadn’t he been informed?


    Despite his unease, Henry stood his ground as they approached.


    He nced down at Kylie, noticing the quivering of her eyshes and the trembling of her lips.


    Since arriving homest night, Kylie had not left his side. She had even leaned against him, waiting anxiously at the door for Tess. But now, she took a hesitant step forward, almost instinctively, inching closer to the unexpected visitors.


    Tess and the others halted just a few steps away from Kylie.


    Kylie’s eyes locked onto the two elderly faces she hadn’t seen in many years.


    The wrinkles etched on their cheeks stirred a deep, aching sensation in her nose, and her eyes immediately welled with tears.


    “Aunt Olivia… Uncle Benjamin…” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.


    Though her words were soft, they carried clearly through the quiet air.


    Tess’s usuallyposed and stern expression suddenly softened, reced by shock. Her calm demeanor cracked as she shifted her gaze repeatedly between Kylie, the elderly couple, and Violet.


    Aunt Olivia? Uncle Benjamin?


    If these were indeed Kylie’s aunt and uncle, did that mean they were effectively her grandparents?


    Tess looked up at Abel, her eyes wide with disbelief.


    Abel had expected Henry to bar his entry to the vi, but since he had only stopped Lyra and Raven, he had quietly followed along.


    Seeing Tess’s stunned face, Abel smirked slightly and lowered his voice teasingly, “Surprised?”


    Surprised? Tess’s expression was far from happiness. It was a mixture of shock and incredulity.


    She frowned deeply, watching Kylie’s reaction, her mind racing to process the words she had just heard.


    Had Kylie really said what she thought she heard?


    But Gillian had died long ago! So why were Gillian’s sister and brother-inw here in Aetheris?


    Still…


    Tess’s eyes flicked back to the elderly couple once more.


    From the moment she firstid eyes on them, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even though she was certain she had never met them before.


    Could this strange feeling be tied to someplicated family connection?


    Nervously, Tess twisted her fingers, the lightheartedughter she had shared with the elders earlier now reced by an awkward stiffness.


    She still found it hard to believe.


    Tess was well aware of the Larsons from Kingnd—a family of immense wealth and power, whose children were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.


    But Kylie had severed ties with them years ago, and they had not been in contact since. To Tess, the Larsons felt even more distant than before.
