“Alright.”

I obediently walked over, ate a few dumplings, and then smiled at Madam Shaw, feeling inexplicably reluctant. I could only say, “Grandma, I’ve troubled you these past two days. I’m going back to Jelaston soon. I wish you a happy New Year in advance and all the best.”

“Why are you leaving so soon? Aren’t you going to help Frank…”

“He…” I gathered my thoughts. “He probably won’t need my help anymore.”

His true love was probably coming back soon..

“What do you mean? If he doesn’t need your help, are you just going to abandon me?”

Madam Shaw pretended to be upset. “I was looking forward to having someone kind to spend the New Year with, and now you’re leaving? It’s the New Year, stay here and celebrate with me!”

“Grandma…”

Seeing her like this, I was touched.

But I also knew that staying here any longer would be inappropriate.

Madam Shaw held my hand. “Even if you go back, you’ll be alone. Just stick to my arrangements…”

“Grandma!”

Suddenly, a domineering voice came from outside. Bethany and her parents appeared together.

She stomped over in her boots to Madam Shaw’s side. “Grandma, Ms. Wilson wants to leave, so just let her go. Anyway, soon you won’t have time for her!”

Madam Shaw looked displeasedly at Mr. Shaw and Mrs. Shaw. “Look at what kind of upbringing you’ve given her! She has no manners at all!”

Mrs. Shaw’s expression darkened. She nudged Mr. Shaw with her elbow.

Mr. Shaw, helplessly, acted as a mediator between the mother and daughter. “Mom, it’s the New Year. Why do you have to be like this…”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Madam Shaw, who was displeased, said coldly, “I’ve said this many years ago. During the New Year and other festivals, we each celebrate separately. I won’t disturb you, and you shouldn’t disturb my peace either!”

“Grandma!”

Bethany, embarrassed by the scolding, was fuming. “Even if you hate me, do you have to hate your own granddaughter too?”

Madam Shaw’s expression turned stern. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Bethany deliberately created suspense, gave me a cold smile, and then said, “What I’m saying is that your

own granddaughter is coming back soon. Once she’s back, you won’t have time for Ms. Wilson anyway!”

“Where did you get this news?”

Madam Shaw, her face flushed with excitement, stood up, holding onto the sofa for support!

Mr. Shaw’s and Mrs. Shaw’s faces also changed. Mrs. Shaw grabbed Bethany’s arm, eagerly asking, “Is it true? Has Lily been found?!”

Seeing their excitement, Bethany tightened her grip, a hint of complexity in her eyes as she smiled and said, “Yes! Look.”

With that, she placed this morning’s newspaper on the coffee table.

My eyes quickly scanned the large headline – Frank Finds Long–Lost fiancee.

It was accompanied by two photos of a woman trying to throw herself at Frank with a fearful expression.

Anyone who saw this would naturally feel a sense of protectiveness.

The second photo showed Frank raising his hand to block her attempt.

Madam Shaw put on her reading glasses, picked up the newspaper, and, after a glance, snorted. “This isn’t my Lily! It’s just another unscrupulous media making up stories!”

“You don’t believe it?” Bethany smirked. “Then wait for a paternity test. Once it’s done, everything will be clear!”

Originally, given her temperament, Bethany should have been angry if Lily was found.

But now, she seemed completely indifferent, even pleased for the Shaw family.

Mrs. Shaw looked at the photos and then at me meaningfully. “Ms. Wilson, are you leaving now or later? I’ll arrange for a driver to give you a lift!”

The order to leave was delivered straightforwardly.
