The guy with the gold chain took me to a ce called Crestview Metropolis, a suburban mansion estate I''d hardly ever ventured out to the suburbs and had no idea such estates existed.


    I''d seen the Hilton family''s ancestral home in the city center, sprawling over 3000 square feet, which I thought was the height of luxury.


    But entering this suburban estate was like climbing a mountain. The whole ce was essentially a mountain that had been transformed into an estate.


    Even those living up on the mountain had to drive everywhere, making any romantic rtionships practically long-distance.


    It really made me think, some people live in a different world altogether.


    "This is one of ourdy''s residences she uses when she travels. She''s taken a fancy to staying in Crestview Metropolistely and has brought us out with her. Meeting her, Dr. ire, is a privilege."


    I didn''t respond. He was being so mysterious about his boss, constantly hinting at how delicate she was.


    I was just there for the ride in the bulletproof car.


    It was built simr to the one Max used to rescue me that day. Except Max''s was a Maybach model, whereas this one was custom-made.


    "Nice bulletproof car," Imented.


    The guy with the gold chain beamed with pride. "Oh, absolutely. This car was custom-made specifically for ourdy. Not just anyone can have this. There''s only one in the world. Ourdy thinks highly of you, which is why I was sent to pick you up in this car." I just hummed in response.


    The ride to the top of the mountain took a while, and with it being winter, it was especially chilly up there.


    Apart from some servants, there was hardly anyone around.


    I followed the guy with the gold chain until we reached a part of the mansion. "Dr. ire, please wait here. I''ll go and inform ourdy of your arrival."


    But after a while, he was abruptly thrown out by two stern-looking bodyguards.


    "Ma''am, I''m sorry. It''s just that Dr. ire was so busy, which is why she''ste."


    I didn''t hear thedy speak, but the bodyguard said, "Thedy said she would have been long gone by now."


    The guy with the gold chain was kneeling at the doorstep. As I approached, he shook his head at me, signaling me not toe closer.


    "If this is just about ying sick, then please just send me back."


    I announced at the door to thedy''s room.


    I didn''t expect her to pay me any mind, but to my surprise, she said, "Come in."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    It turned out thedy had specificallye for me.


    As I stepped in, passing the guy with the gold chain, I heard him mutter, "Why is thedy treating her differently?"


    When I entered, I saw a screen


    blocking the view of the bedroome


    As I approached the screen, the woman behind it said, "Don''e any closer."


    I stopped immediately.


    Then, after a sigh, she said, "Well, we were bound to meet sooner orter."


    While I was still puzzled, she added, "You should call me sister. Come in." Sister?


    Taking a step further, I saw a woman with long hair lounging in a chaise, two maids at her side handing her a heater, and offering one to me as well, gesturing for me to sit across from her.


    "Surprised I called you here?"


    I remained silent.


    "It''s simple. Your father, yton Floyd, is also my father."


    Her words were blunt, causing me to frown. She then looked at me with disdain and said, "You took care of


    Richard, so I made a point ofing back from abroad to thank you."


    I stood up, startled.
