When Keira said that, Nara slightly froze.
Matias immediately asked, âWhat jade?â
Nara looked down.
Keira was about to say something when Nara took out her cell phone and typed a message for her toread, âI
lost it.â
Keira was startled. âYou lost it?â
Nara nodded.
Keira then frowned and said, âAlright then.â
She and Lewis left after taking Matias and Nara home.
Matias then looked at Nara and suddenly asked, âNara, that jade was left to you by the family memberyou were looking for. How could you just lose it? I know itâs under your pillow. Why would you lie?â
With her gaze downcast, Nara gestured with her hands, âMatias, I found them.â
Matiasâs eyes lit up. âWhere are they? Are they
wealthy? They must be wealthy enough to send out so
466 Chapter 465
many ads to look for you⦠Nara, now that you have
found them, you can live a good life!â
But to his surprise, Naraâs eyes welled up with tears as soon as he said that.
Matias was taken aback. âNara, whatâs wrong?â
Nara gestured, âMatias, are you trying to send me away?â
Matias immediately waved his hands. âNo, I didnât mean that. I just thought you could have a betterlifeâ¦â
Nara continued to gesture. âI want to live with you, even if life is tougher here.â
Matias said, âBut your family is looking for you everywhere. They must love you too! Nara, youâ¦â
Nara suddenly began to cry, then with tears rimming her eyes, she looked at Matias and continued to
gesture with her hands. âI donât want relatives like that. They are all bad people!â
They took lives with impunity!
They made her feel disgusted!
But sign language couldnât convey much information,
III
466 Chapter 465
so she could only express her revulsion.
Matias quickly said, âOkay, okay, letâs not talk about it anymore⦠I wonât say another word, donât getagitatedâ¦â
With tears circling her eyes, Nara entered her room and locked herself inside. She wrapped her armsaround her knees and began to cry.
How could she have such detestable relativesâ¦
Especially Jackson, who was supposed to be her
cousin, yet he tried to violate her⦠and he even broke Matiasâs leg!
And Austinâ¦
He used to be her affectionate brother from childhood,
but now he had become repulsive and loathsome.
She would never forgive them, not in her entire life!
As Nara cried, she pulled the jade from under her pillow and threw it into the trash can with all hermight.
Having just thrown it away, she suddenly felt something amiss, so she picked it up. On closèr
466 Chapter 465
inspection, she noticed that the quality of the jade seemed off. It was different from before.
That piece of jade had been with her since she was a child, and she was accustomed to its appearanceand warmth.
She had caressed it until it became very smooth.
F
Nara held the jade and examined it, then suddenly realized it had been switched!!
This wasnât her original piece of jadeâ¦
Her eyes widened as she suddenly realized somethingâ¦
It was Jacksonâ¦
Jackson must have hidden her jade and given her a fake oneâ¦
Did he think she would want to go back to that family?
She clenched the piece of jade tightly before throwing
it back into the trash bin.
She looked down momentarily before leaving the room and going to Matiasâs side.
Seeing how agitated Nara had been just now, Matias
D
466 Chapter 465
was a bit flustered. Now that she came back, he immediately stepped forward. âNara, are you alright?â
Nara stared at him, motioning with her hands. âMatias, letâs move to another city and start anew.â
Matias was startled. âBut, your university is hereâ¦â
Nara continued to gesture. âI wonât attend university anymore. With the Gill family here, do you thinktheyâll let me graduate?â
Matias fell silent.
Nara continued gesturing, âMatias, I canât find a job in Clance, and I canât graduate. Itâs better to leavethis heartbreaking place.â
She didnât want to be so close to that familyâ¦
She wanted to escape from them and to ensure they
could never find her!
Matias said, âDidnât Keera say today that you should try interviewing at Nora Research Institute? Weâllleave if it is a sham and you canât get the interview.â
Nara nodded.
Neither of them noticed that outside, someone was
D
466 Chapter 465
sneakily watching them.
Jackson sent this person to monitor the siblings. The man knew some sign language and couldunderstand Naraâs gestures.
He picked up his phone and called Jackson, âSir, Nara said she would go for an interview at NoraResearch Institute tomorrow. If she doesnât get it, she will leave Clance and never return!â
Jackson sneered. âThatâs great. Ambush them on their way out. Get rid of those two for me so theyâllnever be
able to return!â
âYes!â
After that, the subordinate hung up.
It was soon the next day.
Naraâs mood had improved significantly after she
1.
Matias scrutinized her mood closely, and seeing no other concerns, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, grabbing his cane and limping, he followed at her side. âLetâs go, itâs time for the interview!â
<466 Chapter 465
Nara gestured, âI can go by myself. You should stay at home and rest.â
But Matias shook his head, âItâs indeed too bizarre, so Iâll accompany you. If you run into danger, atleast Iâm
a man.â
Nara hesitated before nodding.
The two took a bus to the Nora Research Institute.
They stood outside, staring quietly at the grand and serene courtyard, not even daring to breathe tooheavily.
Land price in Clance was exorbitantly high, yet the Nora Research Institute had such a large yard here,which was utterly astonishing.
The two approached the security booth.
Nara didnât even dare to ask.
It was the security guard who spoke first. âWhat you here for?â
Matias swallowed nervously. âWeâre here for an
interviewâ¦â
The guard hesitated. âInterview? Do you have a
466 Chapter 465
notification letter? Let me see itâ¦â
Matias nudged Nara.
Immediately, Nara took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and showed it to him.
After looking at it, the guard frowned.
Then he looked up, measuring Nara and Matias with a skeptical gaze.
Anxious, Matias inquired, âIs there a problem with this
message? We were also confused, so we came to try our luck, not knowing if it was legitimate. Sorryfor the
inconvenienceâ¦â
Before he even finished speaking, he was about to bow apologetically.
From a distance.
The person tracking them called Jackson. âHa! They been stopped at the security booth! Mr. Gill,youâve guessed it correctly!â
Jackson sneered. âThat mute is only a university student, but she wants to enter Nora Research
Institute. Thatâs simply a foolâs dream!â

No sooner had these words left his mouth than the security guard reached out to hold Matiasâs arm!
