Even if she was reluctant, at that moment, Leopold had no choice but to consider the bigger picture. He politely exchanged a few pleasantries with the elders of the Beauvort family.

Seeing the situation, Leopold naturally couldn’t take her sister away, so he had no choice but to leave first.

Nicole achieved her goal and began to cotton up to Wrenn, carefully choosing words that the latter would love to hear.

Wrenn didn’t notice anything amiss. Plus, considering Nicole was the granddaughter of her benefactor, it was only natural for her to be a bit more enthusiastic.

It just so happened that my grandfather fainted at that time, and it was Ms. Garcia who helped treat him. From that moment on, we were extremely grateful to her, especially my brother.
