Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 491

Karina cast an unwilling glance at me, her eyes revealing her defeat. All the while, I remained calm and collected.

Judging by her reactions, I was winning. I could even use her to completely dispel the Whitmore family’s suspicions about my two children.

With business concluded, I paid the bill and left the mall, taking a cab back home.

These past days, I’ve been threatened by Louis and Karina. I felt like I was under siege. In a few days, Faith and I were planning to go to Heavenly Mountain to give thanks for my children’s health. I looked forward to washing away this string of bad luck.

However, to my surprise, when the day came, not only Faith came to pick me up, but also Neil, Karina, and Hiram.

We planned a three-day trip. I decided to bring Serena and Brandon along and fly directly from the airport to Heavenly Mountain.

Faith got out of the car to help me with the children. Karina offered help too, but I declined.

“You can stay in the car with Hiram,” Faith told her coldly.

“Alright,” Karina frowned, returning to the car to accompany Hiram.

Neil was responsible for driving. From the window, he glanced at Faith and me. His sunglasses concealed his eyes, revealing a straight nose, sharp thin lips, and well-defined jawline.

Faith slowed down and quietly explained to me, “Irene, I didn’t want to bring Karina along. But Hiram insisted on coming and bringing Karina. I had no choice.”

I knew how much Faith adored her grandson. If Hiram insisted on going to Heavenly Mountain and bringing Karina, she would have been persuaded.

I found it better this way. With Karina present, she would obstruct Neil and Faith from
