"We might have seen each other many years ago, but because it was a long time ago, I can't remember very well too."
Zuriel Perth specially prepared these cryptic words for Karen Joy Kyle.
She couldn't remember him, but he knew her very well. Over the years, Mr. President had put in a lot of effort for her.
Besides the national affairs, Mr. President's remaining focus was on this little girl.
He was the leader of this country, yet his heart was fixed on this girl. It was not a wise choice.
If it continued to go on like this, both the President and she would not have good outcomes in the end, so he thought it would be better if he could lend a 'helping hand'.
"... but because it was a long time ago, I can't remember very well too." Karen Joy repeated this sentence in silence.
Wasn't this the way she remembered her Brother Lionel too?
Because it was too long ago, her memory was blurry, so she couldn't remember what Brother Lionel looked like.
Damn it!
How could she forget Brother Lionel's appearance?
She should be able to remember it clearly so that she could recognize Brother Lionel well.
Damn it!
Damn it!
She bit her lips and bit herself hard because she wanted to hurt herself. She wanted to punish herself.
Brother Lionel might be in front of her, but she didn't have the courage to ask him directly because she was afraid that she would be mistaken.
If she had firmly remembered Brother Lionel's appearance in her mind, then this situation would not have happened.
It was all her own fault!
What should she do now?
Karen Joy repeated the question in her mind, but she could not answer it even though she tried very hard.
Zuriel saw the reaction that he wanted on Karen Joy's face. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Samantha, we are going to have a masquerade ball tonight. You two should choose your own props. When you are done, only then you can dance with a man of your choice later at night."
"Masquerade?" When Karen Joy heard of this activity, she couldn't calm down.
Could she use this opportunity to ask Dominic later during the ball?
Since they would be wearing masks, he would not know who she was. Even if he was not her Brother Lionel, it would not matter. She could continue her search.
The more Karen Joy thought about it, the more relieved she was. She didn't want to take too long to find Brother Lionel, so tonight was the best time.
"Samantha, help me get a mask, I need to go to the washroom." Karen Joy needed an excuse to leave Samantha, and she quietly followed behind Dominic Cooper.
She saw Dominic and Zuriel enter a room together. She followed them quietly and hid in the dark, trying to listen to what they were talking about.
"I really didn't expect that the child would come. Are you going to admit that you know her?" The person who said this was Zuriel.
After he said that, the room was silent for a long time. Dominic replied cautiously, "I've been paying attention to her every move all these years, and I've been looking forward to her looking for me. Sigh, she is here now, but she doesn't know me at all."
"Then what are you going to do?" Zuriel asked.
