Located in Silverlake Harbor at the grand estate of the Ashbourne family was Skyrim.
An elegant Rolls Royce parked right on the red carpet in front of the ancient mansion. Arnold Ashbourne, the second son of the Ashbourne family, personally came out to welcome his sister and open the car door for her.-
"Welcome home, your highness!"
Evadne's beautiful face was even more stunning under the night lights. She had already changed into her pointy high heels in the car, looking all graceful and aloof, just like a queen.
"Arnold, is everything fine at home?"
"Everything's dandy, but we've been eagerly waiting for your return. Did you like the fireworks display? My birthday gift caused quite a stir, it even made the trending topics!" Arnold's handsome face was full of excitement.
"Yes, I saw that. Everyone's saying some rich dude splashed the cash to woo his love, and that you're a flashy rich kid. Congrats on unlocking a new life achievement." Evadne clapped in amusement.
Arnold wasn't fazed by her teasing, instead, he excitedly hugged his sister.
"Evadne, you won’t leave again after this return, right?"
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm divorced, where else would I go?"
Evadne comforted Arnold by patting his back, "I really let everyone down. I tried my best for three years, but I couldn't even keep a man. I've failed completely."
God knows, her mood at the moment was like swallowing bitter medicine, so bitter it made her want to cry, but she held it in.
She swore that after she left the gates of the Abernathy family's mansion, she would never shed a tear for Thaddeus again because he wasn't worth it!
"That bastard Thaddeus! How dare he betray my sister! I'll start investigating the Abernathy group tomorrow, and then I'll have him dealt with!"
Upon hearing this, Cassius could only mutter, "Oh, God."
"Cassius, stay out of it! You're a public servant."
Evadne gave a bitter smile, "Arnold, can you be more like Cassius? More peaceful and loving?"
"No way! Cassius is peaceful because he let go of his struggles."
Arnold angrily adjusted his tie, "Anyway, I won't let it go! They can mess with me, but if they mess with my sister, the Abernathy group will always be in my sight!"
Evadne, with Cassius on her left and Arnold on her right, the three siblings walked into their long-missed home laughing.
Meanwhile, Emeric Ashbourne, the chairman of the K Group, was pacing around his study with a joyful expression on his stern face when he heard his daughter had returned.
"Dad, I'm back!"
Evadne and her two brothers walked into the study. She plopped down on the couch, kicked up her feet, and promptly sent her high heels flying.
Cassius also sat down and naturally began massaging his sister's feet.
"What are you doing? Act like a lady! Don't carry yourself like a teenage boy."
Emeric tried to maintain a stern face, he and his daughter were like a pair of squabblers. He would miss her when she was away, but they would bicker the moment they saw each other.
"Did you forget? I've always been like this, remember?"
Evadne looked at the wall and spoke to her father.
On the wall hung a painting she had drawn over a decade ago, which her father had inexplicably found and even had framed.
The painting was from when she was young, and it had won a prize in a painting competition.
The head of the Ashbourne family, having had four wives, often became the topic of conversation during people's leisure time.
Unhappy with this family environment, Evadne left at an early age for other countries and became a Doctors Without Borders volunteer, helping those in need.
