Chapter 294 Are You Joking With Me?
+6 Pearla Paulâs lips twitched awkwardly. âThatâs not what I meant. Iâm saying... what if thereâs someone who looks a lot like our grandma?â
Brody immediately raised a hand to cut him off.
âStop right there! Every time Grandpa scolds us, isnât his favorite complaint that none of us inherited Grandmaâs looks? Donât tell me youâve caught whatever obsession he has with this.â
The Kenneth familyâs grandfather and grandmother l after marriage.
en childhood sweethearts, deeply in love even Sadly, she had passed away early, and their grandfatherâs favorite pastime was sitting in his rocking chair, flipping through her old photos.
He often lamented that none of his sons inherited his wifeâs beauty, nor did any of the grandchildren.
âWhen Liliana was born, Grandpa had high hopes. The only girl in three generationsâhe thought for sure sheâd finally carry on Grandmaâs looks. But...â Brody sighed.
Liliana was beautiful, no doubt, but she didnât resemble their grandmother and lacked her unique charm. Grandpa had been disappointed, though he still doted on her as the familyâs only girl âWhat are you even saying? nean, I met a girl today who looks exactly like Grandma!â Paul exclaimed.
Brody paused, stunned.
âSeriously? Youâre not joking, are you?â
Paul rolled his eyes.
âWould I joke about something like this? I found it strange, so I came back to check Grandmaâs photos just to confirm.â
Brodyâs expression grew serious. Though their grandmother had passed many years ago, her place in the Kenneth family was sacred.
Even their father and relatives, who occasionally dared to argue with their grandfather, wouldnât dare utter a single word of disrespect about her.
No matter how bold Paul was, he wouldnât joke about something this sensitive.
âWhere did you meet her? Who is she?â Brody asked cautiously.
âAt Borealia Military Academy. Sheâs one of the instructors there,â Paul replied.
Brody went quiet.
Paul added quickly, âDonât look at me like that! I know dad forbade me from joining the military, but I just went with Marshall to stretch my legs!â
Brody rubbed his chin thoughtfully. After grandmotherâs passing, some shameless people had gone so far as to surgically alter their appearance to resemble her, hoping to marry into the Kenneth family using her face.

69 +8 Pearls Initially, Brody wondered if the person Paul had met might have been planted by a rival family for similar purposes. But when Paul mentioned she was a combat instructor at Borealia Military Academy, Brody dismissed the thought.
After all, the academy was under the jurisdiction of the Fulton family, who would never allow someone with a suspicious identity to hold such a position.
âLetâs go!â Brody said decisively.
Paul blinked to surprise.
âGo where?â
âBorcalia Military Academy! You said you saw her there, right? I donât trust your judgment. Take me to meet her.â Brody demanded.
Paul hesitated for a moment before nodding.
âAlright!â
They set off immediately.
On the way, Brody grilled Paul for more details about Olivia.
All Paul knew was her name and that she had recently been hired as a combat instructor at the academy. Beyond that, he was clueless.â
âHow old is she?â Brody asked.
Paul shrugged. âNo idea. How am I supposed to guess a womanâs age? But sheâs youngâmaybe eighteen or nineteen? Twenty at most.â
Brody frowned slightly. Her age... doesnât add up.
Before long, the two arrived at Borealia Military Academy.
