Chapter 14
Today, the Heath family celebrated the recovery of their daughter with a feast.
Everybody was looking forward to seeing the warlord’s descendant.
The lights focused on the top of the revolving staircase and the media swarmed up.
The flashing lights were staggered and blindingly dazzling.
With the flowers, applause and music, a woman in a white princess dress slowly walked down, covered with fine diamonds as the glitter of stars.
Fine eyebrows and almond eyes. Bright and charming.
The daughter was none other than Charlotte.
Luther was both surprised and shocked that Charlotte was the long-lost daughter of the Capitalthe Heath family, who saved his life that day.
The granddaughter of the military general, the daughter of the general. She was indeed the descendant of the warlord.
Joyce was also surprised that she hadn’t seen Charlotte at school for a while, and she remembered that the orphanage’s director Rachel had called them to identify their relatives and left their hair and nails for DNA tests.
Little did she know that it would be Charlotte who would find her family.
Along with Charlotte was her mother Cecelia. The identity of her father Ralph was too special to show up in the public.
Joyce could not help but looked Cecelia again. She was extremely shocked that Cecelia had indescribable temperament. She was more than beautiful, gentle, noble, truly a lady from the big and noble family.
Joyce was truly attracted by Cecelia that she could not help but take a few steps forward.
Charlotte slowly stepped down the stairs, passing by Joyce. Her lips curled up in a meaningful smile. Once she reached the top, she could think of the status and glory added to her body that she never dared to imagine. She became a princess-like celebrity from an orphan girl who used to be treated badly.
From now on, she, Charlotte, was also at the top of the pyramid.
She could get every single thing as long as it was what she wanted.
Joyce must not have imagined that all should belong to her.
Including …
Charlotte looked lovingly at Luther with the softest smile.
He, too, will be hers.
There were more and more people who walked by and accidentally bumped into Joyce.
The handbag Joyce was holding fell to the ground. She reached out to pick it up, but was squeezed behind by the people beside her.
Cecelia passed by and leaned down to pick it up. She walked through the crowd and handed it to Joyce with smile. There was no haughty manner in her.
They looked each other. There seemed to be warmth flowing throughout the body.
What a healing smile.
Cecelia seemed to radiate maternal kindness all over her body.
Joyce had never been envious of anything, but at this moment she felt uncomfortable. She had never met her parents, and she truly envied Charlotte, who had found such a gentle mother. What more could she want?
“Thanks.” said Joyce. Unfortunately she was already pushed further away by the crowd.
People surrounded Charlotte and Cecelia, sending their congratulations.
Cecelia introduced her lost and found daughter to everyone.
Her bright smiles spread across their faces.
Everything was extraordinarily beautiful.
As the banquet drew to a close, Jacqueline, Shelly, Cecelia and Charlotte sat on a sofa chatting. The two families were friends for generations, so they were naturally closer than other people in the banquet.
Shelly put her arm around Charlotte affectionately, “I can’t believe you’re the Heath family’s daughter. I’ve never heard you mentioned it at school, you’re so low-key.”
Charlotte said modestly, “I just found my parents. There are a lot of things I don’t understand, so I will have to ask you for more advice in the future.”
“No problem.” Shelly just loved to hear her talk because it made her feel comfortable.
Found out that each other knew Joyce.
Charlotte also pretended to mention lightly about having saved Luther.
She was sensitive to the fact that Shelly hated Joyce very much, and this was a good opportunity that could be used by her.
Then Charlotte complimented Jacqueline.
Jacqueline was delighted to hear it and said bluntly, “Cecelia, congratulations on finding such a well-behaved and virtuous daughter. She is so wise and likeable.”
Jacqueline and Shelly were both surprised that Luther brought Joyce along.
They were worried that Luther would go public with the fact that he was married.
