Chapter 23
Inside the car.
Alfred glanced in the rearview mirror at the striking, cool-faced girl in the back seat. The excitement in his heart hadn’t faded yet. “Miss, you were… truly incredible back there! If it weren’t for you, my life would have been over p>
Even though he and Miss Blackwood were both partly responsible for the accident, if something had truly happened to her p>
He couldn’t even bear to imagine the consequences.
Alfred’s eyes reddened. “Miss, you saved my life. From now on, my life is yours p>
Serena’s cold expression softened slightly. “It was nothing p>
She raised an eyebrow, her clear gaze sweeping over the car’s incredibly luxurious interior.
A Pagani, one of the world’s top supercars. There were fewer than five of this model in existence.
She recalled Marianne’s cutting remarks about her coming from the “slums,” and a sarcastic smile touched her ruby lips.
The Wynn family probably couldn’t afford a car like this even if they worked for several lifetimes.
“Alfred,” Serena said, her voice calm. “What does the family do p>
She needed to re-evaluate her biological family.
At this, Alfred instantly perked up. “Miss, the family’s businesses are global and cover a wide range of fields. We do a bit of everything! You also have three older brothers… each one of them is extraordinary and incredibly successful in his own field, just like you, Miss! It’s clear you’re all siblings p>
He paused, his voice choking up a bit. “You are the family’s only, long-awaited daughter p>
He heavily emphasized the word “only,” his eyes welling up with tears of excitement again. “For all these years, your parents never gave up looking for you. They spent an untold amount of manpower, resources, and effort, and finally… finally, they brought you back home p>
Serena narrowed her clear eyes slightly.
Only?
Alfred’s words clearly had a hidden meaning.
The car sped along, entering Vaelion City’s most central and exclusive residential area-Celestial Heights Estate.
After passing through tight security and a quiet, tree-lined avenue, a magnificent estate came into view.
The massive, ornate iron gates slowly opened, and as the car drove through, the very air seemed to smell of money.
It was a castle situated on a
priceless piece of land. A vast green lawn stretched as far as the eye could see, and meticulously manicured flowerbeds were filled with rare species from all over the country, each plant worth a small fortune.
A building that blended modern minimalism with classical grandeur stood proudly in the center.
The ground was paved with white marble, which gleamed under the golden sunlight. Unlike the ostentatious gold and glitter of other wealthy families, every detail here exuded an understated luxury and an elegant heritage.
She knew the Lancaster family was rich, but… she hadn’t expected them to be this rich. It far exceeded her estimations.
The car stopped in the circular driveway in front of the main house.
Just as Alfred got out to open the door for Serena, an emotional, tearful voice cried out, “My daughter! My baby girl p>
A middle-aged couple who had been anxiously waiting by the door practically ran towards her.
The man was tall and well-built, dressed in a white shirt, with a sharp aura that spoke of someone long accustomed to being in charge.
The woman wore an elegant dress, her face beautiful. Even with
red-fimmedreyes god a slightly
flustered demeanor, she couldn’t hide her grace and dignity
The moment she saw Serena clearly, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
She rushed to Serena’s side,
to’s
reaching out as if to touch her
thesitated as if afraid of
cheek, buth
shattering precious porcelain or being too forward. Her trembling fingers traced the outline of Serena’s
face, hovering just inches away.
