Chapter 760

The funny thing about these siblings was that they were polar opposites, with one being grounded and the other

being lively.

The contrast was simply too obvious.

“Tada!” exclaimed Caleb. When he saw how disinterested his brother was, he quickly opened the box. “Look! My

friend gave me so many handkerchiefs.”

“Really?” replied Nicholas. He was immediately intrigued, and his sharp gaze landed on the content of the box right

away.

He was momentarily stunned, but then began praising, “Oh, these are breathtaking. Look at that. There's a straight

pattern, zig-zag pattern, overlock pattern... Her skills are incredible.”

Every single one of those handkerchiefs was worth a fortune and would fetch a good price at any auction.

If they were taken to the museum, there was a good chance they would end up being a part of the museum's

collection.

After admiring each and every piece of fabric inside the box, Nicholas asked, “Caleb, can you please introduce me

to this friend of yours? I'm simply too curious. Even Leslie's nothing compared to what your friend can do, even

though Leslie is the most skilled embroiderer in Maredania. Someone as skilled as your friend should be welcomed

as a VIP.”

“I've told you a million times, Nicholas. She's a weird girl, and she doesn't enjoy meeting with old souls like you, so

you should just give up.”

Caleb could see how much Nicholas loved those handkerchiefs, so he chose one from the box and handed it over.

“Here, you can have this. I'll keep the others away and treasure them.”

After saying all that, Caleb left the room while hugging the box.

Staring at that handkerchief, Nicholas was deep in thoughts for quite some time.

Suddenly, he jumped as though he was enlightened. He then rummaged through his stuff endlessly. It took him

some time before he got another handkerchief from the safe deposit box.

He compared the stitching on the handkerchief inside the safe box to the one Caleb had just given him. The way

both handkerchiefs were stitched is the same! That means the same embroiderer might've made them.

The only real difference was that the handkerchief inside the safe deposit box was old, whereas the one Caleb had

just given Nicholas was brand new.

Could the same person have stitched both handkerchiefs? Is she the owner of this handkerchief?

Nicholas felt his heart thumping fast. He could not wait to meet the person who made that handkerchief because

he wanted to ask her about what had happened all those years ago.

However, the handkerchief had a much more important task.

He had already heard about how the countess, Bianca Yates, would be throwing a birthday party next Friday. She

has always liked exquisite embroidery, so this handkerchief will make a great gift.

Many years ago, the eldest daughter of the Yates family had an arranged marriage with Nicholas. Bianca and the

elders of the Powell family had already agreed to have them get married.

Rumor was that the eldest daughter, who had been missing all these years, had finally returned. Unfortunately,

Nicholas was in love with someone else and had been saving himself for that person. He actually spent over twenty

years searching for that person with no success.

As a result, he was still single. That did not mean he would marry the eldest daughter as promised, though. He

would use that exquisite handkerchief to terminate his engagement.

Unlike teenagers, who only focused on love, both Nicholas and the eldest daughter of that family were middle-aged

individuals, so it would be rather ridiculous for them to be hung up on love.

Nicholas had also reached the point where his goals in life no longer allowed him to do anything drastic.

That was understandable and natural. It was what happened to everyone when they grew old. They could not be as

reckless as they used to be for love.

At that age, being all lovey-dovey and talking about it all day would just embarrass them.

Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Yates family has a daughter who is in her early twenties. I am a

globally renowned oil tycoon, so there is no way I'd marry someone like her.

Although Nicholas did not want to lose the exquisite handkerchief he had with him, he had no choice.

He would rather spend the rest of his life alone than to get involved with another woman.

Inside the Count's Mansion, Penelope did not even put her luggage away when she ran into the yard where Bianca

was resting.

As it was quite the journey, the former looked disheveled and did not like a socialite who grew up in a luxurious

environment.

Bianca was enjoying some tea at that moment, but her heart ached when saw Penelope in that state. Reaching out

to hold her granddaughter's hand, she uttered, “Oh, my poor child. Let me look at you. How did you get so thin?

Didn't your uncle take care of you?”

“Granny...” murmured Penelope. Tears gathered around her eyes.

“Oh, dear. Why are you crying?” asked Bianca, feeling her heart break even more. “What's wrong?”
