Justin's face darkened. He had brought Shirley here because he thought he could muddle through it somehow. He thought it was a tacit understanding so he was surprised by Sam's direct question.

If he answered yes, it would be a blatant lie. If Sam found out the truth later, it could lead to serious consequences. Justin hesitated, wondering how to dodge this question.

Suddenly, Shirley stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xenos, I was the baby back then. My name is Shirley Jones. Mr. Xenos, you're much younger than I imagined."

Sam looked at the girl in front of him but he didn't feel the same feeling that he had twenty years ago. Back then, when he saw the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, he felt his heart sofiening uncontrollably and even cried. He knew perfectly well that the pendant was a family heirloom left for Heather. But he gave it to that baby anyway. Now that Heather was gone, he desperately hoped that the baby was his own child.

But now, looking at this girl with a flattering smile, he didn't feel the way he did back then. He didn't even like her. Of course, Sean understood the reason.

That baby was just a newborn baby. He knew maybe he had just rested all his longing on her. Even after all these years, he still occasionally recalled the smile of the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

He felt just like the baby was a beam of light. But now, that beam seemed to have faded away. Although Sam was disappointed the girl in front of him was different from what he had imagined, he didn't show it.

After all, it was only his imagination. He couldn't expect the baby to grow up according to his imagination. Sam said politely to Shirley, "You're so sweet."

Flattered, Shirley was happy. She thought Sam liked to hear nice things. Shirley eagerly said, "It's our first time visiting you here today. It must be an honor

As soon Shirley finished her words, everyone else was momentarily startled. Justin's heart sank

Justin thought, "How could she use this phrase like that? It was practically announcing to Sam that his daughter was uneducated! We repeatedly told her to stay quiet before but she just didn't take it seriously.

Selena also looked embarrassed. But Shirley knew nothing about it. She thought Sam liked to be flatted and kept talking on and on.

Sam, who initially looked amicable, now looked cold. With decades of experience in the business world, he could see through a person's true nature with just one glance at him or her

He knew Shirley was all style and no substance, an uneducated sycophant and a complete airhead. Sam disliked her.

Sam was disappointed. He thought a lot about that baby in the past years. He originally thought if possible, he would ask Ruby to adopt her to balm to the soul after losing his daughter.

But seeing looking at the girl now, Sam gave up. Given the situation, he even thought it unnecessary to see Ruby,

Sam said, "Dinner is ready. Let's go to the dining room."

Justin nodded quickly and politely gestured to Sam to go first.

Sam walked ahead of the group of people. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said. "Mr. Jones knows what happened in the past. Please don't bring up things that happened twenty years ago in front of my wife. I don't want to upset her."

Justin hurriedly said, "Of course, we won't mention it.

Justin knew Sam was dissatisfied and disappointed. He sighed heavily in his mind. Sam didn't even want them to talk about how they first met in front of his wife, which suggested forming an alliance with the Xenos family through marriage was impossible. He glanced at Shirley. She still smiled smugly, completely unaware that Sam didn't like her at all.

She even walked over to Sam. She repeatedly called him "Mr. Xenos" and talked to him, which only made Samn frown.

Soon, they reached the dining room. It was spacious, with a large round wooden table inlaid with gemstones in the center. There was a rotating plate in the middle of the table was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes. Shirley said dramatically, "Wow! Mr. Xenos, what a hearty meal

Ruby happened to be walking out of the kitchen. She looked at Sam and said, "Honey!"

So, everyone else immediately knew who she was. Shirley quickly said, "You're Mrs. Xenos, right? Did you make all these dishes yourself?"

Ruby was a bit taken aback by this sudden question but she soon smiled, "I can't cook."

Sam walked over to Ruby. His voice was noticeably colder than before. He said, "My wife's hands aren't for washing dishes and cooking"

Justin felt helpless. He thought, "Would she die if she shut her mouth up?"

Selena quickly tried to lighten the atmosphere. "Of course, Mrs. Xenos is textbook-level. She was once a reporter working for RNN. During the Roncrity clite preschool kidnapping incident, she stood up and saved many families. Selena stepped forward to Ruby. "T've always wanted to thank you in person. My daughter was on that bus too."

When Selena said that, Ruby was deeply moved. She recalled the nationwide kidnapping that happened years ago. criminals hijacked a bus full of preschoolers on a field trip and planted a timed bomb underneath the car. The

The criminals were in a standoff with the military for a day and night. The military couldn't find a breakthrough. Ruby did something bravely, which gave the military a great chance.

What left a deep impression on her was a girl on the bus. Among all the other kids crying their eyes out on the bus, she didn't cry or panic.

Although she was tied up, she kept comforting the other kids. Later, she kept winking at Ruby to help Ruby.

Even though they didn't talk to each other, it seemed there was tacit understanding between them. Thanks to the girl. Ruby found a breakthrough, allowing the military to catch the criminals and save all the hostages when they were still unharmed. When Ruby walked away from the bus, the girl ran to her and sad she wanted to become a reporter as brilliant as her. Ruby gave the girl a hairpin with a little fluffy bunny.

She handmade the hairpin when reminiscing about her daughter. Before she saw the girl, she often dreamt about her daughter.

However, after that incident, she suddenly found peace. After years of pain, she finally overcame the grief of losing her daughter. She didn't even share this with Sam. Thinking about the past, Ruby was moved. She looked at Selena much more amicably.
