After Carol climbed the stairs, she received a call from Arabella, who dropped a bombshell about a hidden truth behind a car

accident from years ago. Carol's long lashes fluttered slightly, betraying her surprise and shock.

Once the call ended, Carol checked the evidence Arabella had sent her. Each message, each document, stoked the flames of her

indignation.

After a while, she called her brother Dennis, asking him to chome. She returned to her laptop, her fingers dancing across the

keyboard before finally emerging into the living room.

At that moment, Maureen was still adding fuel to the fire, badmouthing her, while Katherine was beside her, crying a river, leaving

Rudolf frustrated and distraught.

"I've made up my mind." Carol walked up to them and announced, her expression unflinching, "Didn't Dad say he wanted to

announce our identities to all our friends and relatives soon, to let everyone know that we are back? | think we shouldn't wait for

another day. Why not just do it tonight?"

"Are you trying to negotiate terms with your dad?" Maureen snapped back, realizing what was happening, "You're really something,

aren't you? Always playing your own game. It doesn't matter when we announce your return. But Katherine needs to make amends

and apologize before midnight tonight. Her situation is far more urgent than yours. Instead of resolving that, you're here stirring up

trouble with irrelevant things."

"I didn't ask for your opinion."

Carol's retort infuriated Maureen.

She couldn't believe Carol would dare to dismiss her so blatantly.

"Carol, are you really willing to help Katherine?" Rudolf looked surprised. Just moments ago, Carol had been adamant about staying

out of her sister's issues. What had changed?

"If she's ready to swallow her pride, apologize, and offer scompensation, I'm okay with it. Anyway, New Year is coming up, and

all our relatives will naturally learn aboutand my brother's return. There's no rush."

As Carol turned to head upstairs, Maureen quickly said, "Wait!"

Though she didn't want their friends and relatives to know about their existence, they didn't have a better solution for Katherine's

predicament at the moment.

If that wretched girl was willing to help, not only would they save themselves from shelling out 3 million, but they'd also save face.

Just this once, they'd let Carol have her way. They could always tarnish her reputation later, skewing their friends’ and relatives’

perception of her.

"Are you really willing to help?"

Before Maureen could finish, Carol was already ascending the stairs. Maureen called out, "Wait!" She had no choice but to look at

her husband, "Honey, book a private dining room. We'll have dinner with all our friends and relatives tonight. I've been so busy

lately; | neglected to announce Carol and Dennis's return right away. It's understandable that Carol is upset. Let's do it tonight.

She's right; there's no tlike the present.”

"And Dennis." Rudolf wasn't sure where his son had gone and whether he'd be able to return that evening. If they were to

announce their return, Dennis was one of the main characters.

"He'll be back soon."

Hearing Carol's assurance, Maureen grew more resentful, convinced the siblings had conspired together. Their father hadn't even

agreed to the announcement yet, and her brother was already on his way to receive blessings from friends and relatives.

"Then tonight, we'll all raise our glasses to celebrate - you and your brother's safe return," Rudolf started calling to invite friends

and relatives.

"Make sure Meredith Brooks comes htoo." Carol said coldly to Maureen, "No one should be missing."

Maureen scoffed. She hadn't expected this audacious girl to take herself so seriously. Meredith was her and Rudolf's beloved son,

the heir to their estate, and now he was supposed to cback and celebrate for these two? In her dreams.
