"We don't have your grandfather here. Go away."
Aleigha didn't retort but took out her phone and called Dustin. Soon, someone ran out of the courtyard.
He gave the servant a vigorous shove.
"Don't let me see you again. You brainless thing," he cursed.
Aleigha had a smile hovering upon her lips.
"You're Aleigha?"
"Yes, I want to see my grandfather."
Aleigha looked composed. In her past life, she had always been timid, in fear that she might do something wrong.
But being careful hadn't worked.
She had thought people here meant no harm to her.
However, they had deprived her of everything.
In this life, she wasn't going to be a coward again.
The man was Dominic, Emilia's uncle, about whom there were many rumors.
Aleigha heard that he was a snob without much ability and had abandoned his wife and children.
Compared with him, his sister, Emilia's mother, was much more cunning.
"Please follow me," the man said.
Aleigha nodded and went in the house.
Luxurious as she remembered, the house hadn't changed a bit.
Even with her eyes closed, Aleigha could locate her own room, which was the remotest and coldest room on the second floor. She had lived in it for several years.
She followed Dominic to Dustin's room on the third floor.
"Wait here for a moment."
Dominic's voice was quiet.
After a while, Dominic came back with an ingratiating smile.
"Aleigha, come in. Dustin wants to see you."
He called her name intimately as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Thank you."
"Aleigha, I'm your mother's younger brother. You should call me uncle."
Aleigha was not surprised at his shameless request.
"Uncle, I'm glad to see you."
Aleigha smiled innocently and went into the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Aleigha's nose crinkled. Dustin was a devote Buddhist and always had incense burning in his room.
"Sit down."
Dustin was over eighty years old, yet his voice was like a ringing bell. He looked younger than men of his age.
Aleigha remembered how excited she had been when she saw him in her previous life.
She had no family left after her mother had passed by.
But now, Aleigha only felt depressed around him.
