Leave No One Behind

"It turns out that I'm not a member of the Tiwari family," Isha said with a heavy nasal voice.

"Who said that? Is there any proof?" His voice was distinctly hostile.

"They've already done a verification report. When Old Master Tiwari came to acknowledge me previously, he never did a paternity test. He made the decision based on the photo in my hand, which is identical to the photo in their house. However, when we were splitting the inheritance today, I was confirmed to be unrelated to Jairam Tiwari and Sunaina Rathore."

Shivam immediately understood. He pressed her head against his chest and said, "You still have me, Abhay, and Gungun. You have a family and a home."

A faint smile appeared on Isha's face, but she couldn't stop her tears. "I understand. All of you are very important to me, and I can't bear to lose any of you. But Grandpa is also very important to me. I really treat him as family..."

"I understand. He's a very good elder," Shivam said softly. "In the future, we can visit him too."

"Actually, if there wasn't any hope, I wouldn't feel disappointed. I'd just pretend that I never had any of these things in the first place. I'd have regrets, but I'd get used to it. It's better than suddenly losing everything. Even though the Tiwari family isn't any better and there are many regrets and discomforts, Grandpa... He's really a very respectable old man." Isha's voice was filled with disappointment.

Shivam hugged her and rested his chin on her hair. His heart ached for her.

But a home with warm elders was indeed the hardest thing to get. Even he could not really give it to Isha.

"Actually, it's good. At least I don't have to deal with Yami's tricks anymore." Isha began to comfort herself.

Shivam touched her hair with heartache. She always comforted herself when she was sad.

Shivam said in a low voice, "Yes, losing that home doesn't mean anything. You can still find your original home. This time, it might be the warmest home in the world."

Isha looked up, and there was a smile in her red eyes. "Yes, everything is possible before we find my family. Perhaps I have a serious father and a loving mother in my family. Our family will be very happy without any scheming."

"That must be it."

"But now that I have you guys, I'm satisfied enough." Isha's mood had completely improved. The disappointment she felt when she left Old Master Tiwari vanished due to Shivam's presence. "Having you is the best home. Anyway, even if I have parents, I'll still be with you guys most of the time. I'll spend most of my life with you guys."

"Yes," Shivam replied softly.

He bent his fingers to wipe away her tears. He found a tissue and wiped away the moisture from her eyes.

Isha leaned on his shoulder again. "You can't choose your first family in life. You can only accept it. But the other family is your own choice. You'll definitely like all of us. That's good too, isn't it?"

"Yes. In this family, all of us want to be with each other," Shivam repeated softly.

...

When Hina found out about Isha, she couldn't help but clap her hands.

"That's great! I didn't expect Isha to really be an impostor. I was just giving Yami a suggestion to investigate Isha's background, and she really found out the problem," Hina said excitedly. "Now, Yami is not only the only daughter of Jairam Tiwari and Sunaina Rathore but also one of the three legal heirs of the Rathore family. A third of the inheritance..."

Jagan Verma lowered his head and ate, pretending not to hear anything.

"Jagan, go look for Yami today and say that your marriage isn't canceled."

"Mom, I've already said that I can't be with Yami after the kidney donation incident. I don't want such a mother for my future children."

"I already said that it was a misunderstanding. Think about how scheming Isha is. She was the one who planned everything. She's not even a member of the Tiwari family and almost cheated a large amount of inheritance. How much can you believe—"

"Mom!" Jagan Verma interrupted her forcefully.

"Are you still thinking about Isha Sharma? Let me tell you, it's impossible for our family to accept such a daughter-in-law!"

Jagan Verma put down his chopsticks. "I'm full."

"Huh, Jagan? Jagan? Where are you going?"

...

On the other hand, Veena went to do a DNA test for Isha Sharma and Riya Rathore. However, it was just a formality. It was impossible for her to really do a DNA test.

Jay Chauhan hurried over.

"Is Aunt feeling better?"

"Much better. It's just that she keeps asking about the test report," Jay Chauhan said while frowning. "She got anxious when I said more time was needed."

Veena took a report and said, "Sign this. I just printed this out. Even if Aunt has sharp eyes, she might not know that this is fake."

In any case, she had made many copies for Riya Rathore and was familiar with everything.

However, if people found out that she had helped do numerous DNA tests for her aunt and panda plushies, it would really be a joke.

Now that she had to do a test for Isha, Veena naturally couldn't really do it. She just printed a copy of the contents to brush off Riya.

However, she was really worried about her aunt's health. If this continued, something would go wrong sooner or later.

Jay Chauhan took the printed document from Veena and signed it. "Alright, that's it. Isha can't be my sister. The report naturally shows that there's no blood relation between the two of them."

"However, Isha is really quite pitiful. It wasn't easy for her to return to the Tiwari family, and Yami later kept finding trouble with her. Now, even the Tiwari family isn't her real home. Sigh." Veena sighed softly. "She still has to be slandered now. Fortunately, Grandma got someone to investigate. Back then, Old Master Tiwari and Sunaina Rathore confirmed that Isha was from the Tiwari family. They didn't do a paternity test and directly acknowledged her. If that wasn't the case, who knew how many more attacks Isha would have had to endure?"

Jay Chauhan thought of Isha's face, and an indescribable emotion flashed across her face. He wanted to do something for her, but he couldn't do anything.

"I've asked around. Old Master Tiwari and Sunaina Rathore both want to acknowledge Isha as their adopted granddaughter, but because of Yami Tiwari, it can't be done," Veena said. "It's fine. If Isha is really adopted by them, it'll still be troublesome for Isha. It's better for her not to have such a family."

Jay Chauhan didn't say anything else. She picked up the document and turned to leave.

Veena sent Isha a Whatsapp message and didn't mention this matter again. She only asked her what she planned to eat and if she wanted to go shopping together.

Isha replied: [Let's meet up next time. I have something to deal with in the next two days.]

[Alright then. We'll contact each other again once you're free.] Veena knew that she might indeed be busy. She still had some matters to settle with the Tiwari family, so she didn't disturb her anymore.

She placed Riya Rathore and Isha Sharma's blood samples in the medical kit at the side and shook her head. She hoped that her aunt's condition would get better soon. That way, she wouldn't have to keep doing fake DNA tests.

......

Jay Chauhan took the documents and returned to the Rathore family.

When Old Madam Rathore saw what he was holding, she asked worriedly, "Is Riya's condition still not under control?"

"Grandma, Mom was much better before and didn't relapse for a long time. But this time, the illness came very suddenly. She keeps making a fuss about wanting to find my sister, so the situation isn't too clear."

"Well, she hasn't fully recovered since that incident. I'll have to ask you to be more forgiving."

"She's my mother. It's the least I can do." He nodded.

Old Madam Rathore continued, "I heard that you guys drew Isha's blood?"

"Yes, Mom's illness was a little serious at that time. She kept pulling Isha, so..."

"It wasn't easy for that child either. She was displaced as a child. What's rare is that she can still maintain her kind nature. Take care of her when you have the chance. Speaking of which, the things she experienced in her life isn't her fault, but she has to take on so much. Things got messy that day, and I didn't have time to speak to her alone."

Jay Chauhan nodded. "Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

"Let's go and see Riya together."

...

Isha had obtained the Jini Square from Old Master Tiwari.

Because of her proper management, the overall economic situation here was really good and three more outlets were opened.

What Yami wanted Isha to return was these things.

Isha took some time off to come here and look around.

Knowing that she was coming over, Vijay had been waiting all morning. As the direct manager of these malls, Vijay contributed a lot to the malls' prosperity.

He was dressed in a formal suit. His thin figure looked very gentle, but his aura and demeanor were still formidable.

"Isha, you haven't been here for a long time. I've sorted out all the receipts. Take a look first. Also, I have to report to you about the various important matters here." Vijay was a very responsible person. Before they could exchange pleasantries, he carried over the things that Isha needed to check.

With just a glance, Isha could tell how meticulous he was.

"Okay, I'll read them later. I'll go walk around the mall first."

"I'll go with you." Vijay put down the documents.

Isha glanced at the documents on his desk. She could tell that he still had a lot of work to do. There were a lot of employees waiting at the door outside too. They had something to report to him.

"No, I'll just wander around myself. You go on with your work."

Vijay was a person who prioritized his work. Hearing Isha's words, he didn't insist and said, "Alright. In that case, I'll report to you about my work during this period of time during lunch hours later."

"President Vijay, I heard that you're busy on weekends and refuse to rest. You have to rest. Don't drag your body down because of work and lose your personal life." Isha couldn't help but remind him with a smile.

Vijay gave a quick, embarrassed laugh. "I'm used to it."

"Then I'll go take a look around. I won't disturb your work anymore." With that, Isha put on her sunglasses and covered her eyes, revealing only a small portion of her face. She turned and walked out.

She really could not bear to return this mall to the Tiwari family. Not to mention the effort she had spent, Vijay had also done a lot for this mall.

He had really done everything he could to achieve his current results.

After returning the mall, there was a high chance that Yami would be the one managing it in the future. According to Yami's working style, the first person Isha would feel sorry for was Vijay.

As she walked, she saw Yami wandering around the mall with a few people.

"Take a good look at this mall. After we take it back, it might be handed over to you to manage," Yami said to the people around her.

Isha couldn't help but rub her forehead. Yami really refused to relax at all. Last night, Isha said that she would return the things to her, and today, she had brought people to take a look.

Old Master Tiwari would most likely hand over the mall to Yami. Even though it was difficult to praise her character, she was Jairam Tiwari and Sunaina Rathore's only daughter. No matter what, Old Master Tiwari could only rely on her.

"These businesses will be handed over to you later. Jini has been developing rapidly in the past two years. The development and construction of the mall must catch up to the overall economic situation. When you go back, take out your planning reports and think about how to push the mall's development to a higher level," Yami said.

A person standing behind Yami asked, "President Tiwari, as far as I know, the turnover and profits of Jini Square in the past two years have been outstanding. After we take back this mall, will the old employees still stay? Or will we arrange for newbies to take over everything after we take office?"

Yami was smiling, but she was really happy. Everything here belonged to Isha Sharma, and Isha Sharma was also the one who promoted the staff. When the mall returned to her, would she still use the previous staff?

Naturally, the answer was no!

How could she keep Isha's people in her territory?

She smiled. "Since you'll have to manage the mall when the time comes, we can't keep the old employees. Do you think they'll still be able to work in peace if the leadership above has changed?"

Actually, that person wanted to say that the change of leadership would not affect the work of the low-level employees. There was no need to make such a big change.

However, since Yami had already said so, that person did not have any objections. He smiled and echoed, "President Tiwari, you've always been very considerate. If we want to replace them, we'll definitely have to replace all of them. When the time comes, we'll replace all the people here and leave no one behind."

Yami nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

When Isha heard all of this from not far away, she couldn't help but frown. Jini Square had survived through a very difficult phase in order to get its achievements today. The employees had worked hard together to obtain such results.
