Nicole smiled back. “Ethel.”

When they met, Ethel asked, "Miss Lawrence, I've checked the address. It's close, but do you still remember the way through the alley?"

Nicole was momentarily speechless, surprised by the question.

“I should be able to find it,” Nicole said.

The credit goes to Brett's daughter. There was a time when the young woman suffered a serious episode during a stormy day.

In a hurry, Brett found a taxi while also taking a work call from Wesson. Noticing Brett's distress, Wesson was quick to arrive and rush the girl to the hospital.

Nicole, who was in the car, helped him take care of the girl during the journey.

“Excellent,” Ethel agreed, a touch shyly.

Despite her tomboyish nature and the nickname "Man Woman" given to her by her peers, Ethel always felt shy in Nicole's presence.

“Ethel, if you don't mind, call me Nicole. Miss Lawrence seems too formal to me,” Nicole suggested.

Ethel, visibly, embarrassed scratched her head. “May I address you as Kiki?”

For Ethel, there remained a palpable sense of disparity between herself and Nicole, as Nicole belonged to the highest lineage of the Lawrence family, while she came from a humble background, in need of support. Their life and educational paths were very different.

While Ethel maintained an aloof attitude toward other wealthy people, approaching them with a professional mentor, Nicole stood out.

Upon meeting her, Ethel realized that Nicole, like Wesson, embodied integrity, kindness and resilience.

Ethel observed that the entire Lawrence family was virtuous and had been generous to her. Naturally, her feelings toward them were different.

With a soft smile, Nicole said, “Of course.”

The sight of Ethel brought back memories for Nicole, evoking the moment when her mother had brought a baby sister into the world for Nicole who tragically succumbed shortly after birth.

At that time, the whole family went into mourning for a long period, and although they never addressed the girl's subject again, her memory lived on forever in their hearts.

Nicole wondered if having a sister like Ethel would have eased the void left by her parents' deaths, potentially preventing a cascade of psychological problems.
