Chapter 147
The atmosphere at the dinner table froze again. When it came to his daughter, Sharon’s interference usually only made things worse.
Lenore and Yves weren’t exactly easy to deal with, so it was better for her to keep quiet. And Esther’s earlier comments were clearly meant to stir up
trouble.
Sharon poured a bowl of soup for Darren, giving him a warning glance to keep his mouth shut while she fell silent herself.
yves shot a glance at Esther and said coolly, “Lenore grew up in an orphanage in the countryside. She has faced a lot of hardship, unlike Esther, who had everything handed to her. Is it a problem if I want to check on her?”
“Embarrassing“” Yves’s eyes turned icy. “Lenore is my sister, so why would I be ashamed to check on her? And if you find it embarrassing.
He paused, fixing a steady gaze on Troy. “Then why did you bring her back?”
Troy brought her back for the inheritance. But Yves wasn’t like Esther; he was the complete opposite. He had always been protective of that brat. Lenore.
His words hit Troy hard, and his expression darkened. “Do you think you can just say whatever you v want? Do you even regard me as your parent!” Yves scoffed, tossed down his chopsticks, and stood up.
“Yes, you haven’t finished your meal. Esther pulled at his sleeve.
He glanced at her, his face devoid of warmth as he yanked his arm out of her grasp. Tm your brother, not a fool
Those words made Esther’s smile falier, leaving her pale and speechless.
At Regal Villas Block 4, the place was massive, with dozens of rooms, but only two had ever untouched.

Seeing the man who had tagged along from next door, Lenore didn’t say much. She simply took off the jacket draped over her shoulders and handed it back to him. “You can stay wherever you want
Silas raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.
Once upstairs. Lenore powered on his laptop, and a video popped up instantly. Lenore took it
On the screen, Lethe had her pure purple hair highlighted with streaks of pastel pink and blue, looking like a
a walking art palette.
While munching on noodles, her words were muffled. “The break–in at the First Floor has been hushed up. The delayed auction is in three days. Want to join the fun?”
Lenore replied simply, “Nope.”
There’s nothing worthwhile anyway.
“Well,” Lethe said, slurping up her noodles, “I personally delivered the diamond to the prince of Kelmara, I warned him–if he loses it again, we’re washing our hands of him”
Lenore casually crossed h
her legs as she settled into her chair, spinning slightly as she exuded an air of authority. “What’s going on in Orinaria?” After swallowing her noodles, Lethe replied, “The unrest has been put down, but various factions are still trying to get the Stormwings Operatives involved. However, after your crackdown on them, they’re too scared to make a move!
Wiping her mouth, Lethe looked up. “I mean, if you’re so concerned, why not just take a trip to
Orinadia yourself?”
Lenore replied coolly. What I care about is 319 Biomedical Engineering”
“Got it” Lethe shrugged, understanding that Lenore was a big deal and her thoughts were a mystery to everyone.

was on the phone with Wayne.
Wayne had been busy lately, so he hadn’t followed Silas to Denisville. Today, he called to discuss an issue with “The First Floor. “It’s set for three days from now. Aside from a bunch of so–called antiques, there seems to be a piece of nephrite.”
Silas’s brows furrowed slightly. “Nephriter”

“Apparently, it’s natural” First Floor wouldn’t deal in fakes, so it should be genuine. Wayne didn’t care much about that, though. He continued. “The Faulkner family is causing a ruckus again. Aren’t you going to come back and check it out!”
Silas was the only male heir among the four branches of the Faulkner family. The women from the other branches were vying for power, leading to
constant chaos
With a cold expression, Silas replied, “As long as no one dies, let them make a scene.”
The Next Day, Yves skipped breakfast and just exchanged a few words with Sharon before heading out. Troy was furious, his face dark as he left for the office.
The company was in desperate need of an investment. They had been counting on the Duncan family to come through, but that wild girl, Lenore, had messed everything up. Even his sister Rachel had distanced herself from Troy.
Sharon didn’t bother with Esther and instead brought breakfast to Darren. With a serious tone, she said, “Some things you need to see and experience for yourself, rather than just hear about. Understand?”
