"We'll let the identity of Irene die. In the future, there will be no Irene, only Ivy." Avery's tone was gentle. "Ivy, doing this is so that you won't have any worries about any problems down the line."
Irene lowered her head and thought about what Avery said.
It was not that she could not let the identity of Irene die. She only felt a little sad. After all, she had lived with that identity for more than a dozen years.
"Ivy, I know you will surely miss it, but this is the best option. In the future, we will give you whatever that you want…"
"Mommy, I only missed it a little. Since you all think that this is the best way, do it! I never had many friends anyway." Irene quickly collected her emotions. "But I haven't returned the money that I owe."
"Give me their names and their account numbers. I'll pay it back for you. Or I give you the money and you return it to them yourself," Avery said, "Is there anything else you need to do?"
Irene shook her head. She lamented a little. "I got into Turlington University with such difficulties. It's a pity I can’t study there anymore."
"It is indeed hard to get into a good school, but we go to good schools not only for the sake of it. We go there to study and to deepen our knowledge. Since that is the case, whether you go to Turlington University or Avonsville University, as long as you study well, your conscience is clear," Avery consoled, "You can choose any university in Avonsville. You can study whatever you want. We will support you fully."
It was as if Avery had magic. She could quickly calm Irene's worries with a few sentences.
"Mommy, I have a small request," Irene said what was on her mind while eating some fruits, "I want to have an ordinary person's life. I hope that others won't know that I'm your daughter. I'm afraid that other people would pay me too much attention because of my identity."
That was because all those years, she had been living a life of obscurity. She was already used to that life.
