    “Be, feel free to grab whatever you want – there’s an array of teas, fresh fruits, and delicious snacks.


    Make yourself at home.” Keh said indulgently.


    Arabe took a sip of her tea and savored it. This wasn’t the average ck tea. It had the distinct vor


    and aroma of Assam tea. She took another sip, the smooth taste lingering in her mouth,. It was top-


    notch tea indeed.


    “Be, have some snack.” Louisa pushed some pastries towards Arabe, her voiceden with


    “I know.” Arabe’s heart softened at her mother’s sorrow. Who would intentionally lose their child?


    “How did you find me?” Arabe asked.


    “A while ago, the Murphy family put out a missing person notice, mentioning the incident from years


    ago. It unsettled me when I saw it. I kept having nightmares, so I asked your father to look into it.”


    Louisa said, “After investigating, we found out that you’re our real daughter, and the girl we had raised


    as our own for eighteen years was not our biological child.”


    Tears welled up in Louisa’s eyes as she confessed, “I’m sorry, we messed up, and you end up in


    someone else’s home.”


    Keh also felt a deep sense of guilt, “I was too careless back then. I brought Serena home without


    checking properly. We looked into her background this time, her biological mother died in a big fire, and

    her father’s whereabouts are unknown. After all, we’ve raised her for eighteen years, and it wouldn’t be


    right to kick her out. So we want to discuss with you, can she continue to live here as your sister?”


    Having raised Serena for eighteen years, they had grown attached to her, and she was an outstanding


    girl.


    Arabe understood their intention, her expression nonchnt, “Whatever you decide is fine by me.”


    Louisa sighed in relief,. Their daughter was truly kind-hearted.


    “Shall we show you around upstairs?” Louisa asked.


    As they passed the music room on the second floor, Louisa casually asked, “Darling, do you have any


    hobbies?”


    “Yes.” Arabe replied offhandedly, “Making money.”


    Keh burst intoughter, “Ha-ha, like father, like daughter, I was also into making money when I was


    young! I can’t believe we share the same hobby!”


    “Nonsense!” Louisa called him out without hesitation, “You were all about hitting on girls when you were


    young!”


    Keh froze for a moment before swiftly exining, “But you were the only one who caught my eye.


    Chasing you was more important than making money.”


    Arabe averted her gaze, and by chance, saw through the window that they had a private helipad with


    three aircraft parked on it, one of which was a limited edition Boeing 747SP.


    “Be, this is your room, do you like it?” Louisa opened the door, hoping for her daughter’s approval.


    The room was filled with pink. Curtains, bed, wardrobe, desk – all pink. Arabe was at a loss for


    words.


    “Your mom says all girls love pink, so she specially designed this princess-themed room for you!”


    Keh took a deep breath, exaggerating the sweetness in the air, “Can you taste the sweetness in


    the air?”


    Arabe didn’t reply.


    “It’s okay if you don’t like it. Your mom has prepared other rooms for you too!” Keh showed her a


    few neighboring rooms, each with a different theme – Mediterranean, ssic, minimalist modern. Since


    they were unsure about Arabe’s preference and had plenty of rooms, Louisa decorated each room in


    a different style.


    “I’ll take this one.” Arabe picked the simplest one.


    “Rest up for a bit, we have a surprise for you!” Louisa held Arabe’s hand, “When the housekeeper


    It was their first gift for their daughter, they were a bit nervous. Arabe understood and nodded in


    obedience. After tidying up her things in her room, She took out her phone and sent a message:


    [Do you still have HeartEase Herb?]


    The reply came swiftly in a phone call, a gentle voice on the other end, “Be, are you nning on


    making HeartEase with the herb again? Did the sky-high prices of HeartEase in the ck market tip


    you off to a business opportunity?”


    Arabe smiled faintly at the sound of her clearughter, “That’s one reason.”


    “The other reason is Grannie Grace’s condition, right?” The girl asked.


    The girl on the phone, Kelly, was her good friend and business partner, who knew her well.


    “Making a HeartEase pill that sells for 10 million, and also helps Grannie Grace – it’s a win-win. But I


    only have one nt left.” Arabe said.


    HeartEase Herb was very effective in treating heart conditions, and a single nt was very costly. It’s


    not only pricy but also rare, and only a few nts would appear at each auction. The only one left in


    Kelly’s possession was bought at a high price. Others who bought HeartEase Herb would only


    research itsponents, unaware of its true value and how to turn it into a product to maximize its


    benefits.


    But Arabe was different. Bybining it with other medicinal ingredients, she could turn HeartEase


    Herb into HeartEase. This little pill was a lifeline for heart patients deemed incurable by doctors! They


    sold out as soon as they hit the market. In Kelly’s eyes, HeartEase Herb could only reach its full


    potential in Arabe’s hands, and wouldn’t be wasted.


    “Do you need it urgently? Shall I bring it to you now?” Kelly asked.


    “No need, I’lle get it in a few days. I’m staying somewhere closer to your ce now.” Arabe


    briefly exined her situation of finding her biological family.


    “Huh? Aren’t you Attlee’s biological daughter? How could such a soap opera happen to you.” Kelly


    couldn’t believe that the world had turned upside down in the few days they’d lost touch, “Since the


    Murphy family did you dirty like this, why are you still looking out for Grannie Grace?”


    Arabe replied coolly, “She’s been good to me.”


    Growing up, Attlee and Olga were always busy with their careers. It was Grannie Grace who raised her.


    Now that Grannie Grace was seriously ill, she couldn’t just turn a blind eye.


    “Grannie Grace is still your responsibility! Attlee is so naive, thinking that just because he’s thrown


    some money around for a VIP hospital room and a caretaker, Grannie Grace will live forever! If it wasn’t


    for you pulling her back from the brink time and time again, he wouldn’t even have a mother now!”


    Arabe’s eyes darkened, but she remained silent.
