"Let's take a family photo right here, shall we?" Louisa suggested with a hopeful glint in her eyes.
"Absolutely." The crowd bustled together, cheerfully shuffling Arabella to center stage while they crowded around her.
The five tall and broad-shouldered brothers could only fit at the back.
"It's supposed to be a family photo, but we're missing someone this year." Kenneth trailed off as a sleek black car approached from
a distance. The man stepping out was none other than Sampson Griffith!
"Uncle Sam!"
Arabella and her five brothers greeted him in unison.
Sampson's smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. "Sorry, I'm a bit late."
He was laden with gifts, and the servants hurried to assist him.

After exchanging pleasantries with the elders and explaining his delayed arrival due to urgent business overseas, the family was
finally complete. Louisa's family had all gathered.
Only Kenneth's side was missing a few.
"Bella, Lucas said they'd join us for the dinner. Your aunt's family will cover for the welcome-back party on Jan. 1st," Grandpa
explained to Arabella.
Arabella nodded, unfazed. "That's fine."
"Alright, everyone, look at the camera and say 'cheese'."
After a heartwarming photo session, the crowd dispersed, and Louisa couldn't help but embrace Arabella.
"Bella. I'm so grateful you cback to us. It's my first tsince | got married to have mom, dad, my brothers and sisters-in-law,
and my little brother here withfor the holidays."
In previous years, she would connect with her family, but never like this year, where they had all cto stay at Reflections Villa
in advance.
This long-missed sense of joy brought tears to her eyes.
"It's all thanks to you." Louisa knew it was her beloved daughter's presence that had brought the family closer.
Arabella's smile brightened, "It's definitely more festive when we're all together."
At that moment, the head of security caught Arabella's eye and made his way over.
David noticed that the head of security wanted a word with Arabella and promptly stepped forward to draw Louisa away.
"Ms. Bella," the head of security began, seeing that the other adults were engrossed in their conversations and not paying
attention to them. "The two that escaped from Reflections Villa have gone off the radar, just as you predicted. It seems whoever is
behind this has been keeping tabs on us, and those two are likely to have been killed by now."
"He's getting restless." Arabella's lips curled up slightly. "We'll have a lot of guests arriving soon. Keep a close eye on everyone
coming in and out of Reflections Villa, including their bodyguards and servants. The person we're looking for is among them, and

"Understood!"
The security chief acknowledged the order, ready to slip away discreetly when Arabella added, "What about the things | told you to
discard?"
"Yes, the blood-stained bandages are deliberately thrown out every day."
These were the blood samples Arabella collected and used to convince the puppet master, with the toxicity purposefully reduced.
The sight of the bloodied bandages would make others believe Erik was injured, possibly from being tortured for information.This

The puppet master had intended for Erik to die at the Collins family's hands by poisoning, but now that the poison in his blood was
reduced, it was clear proof that Arabella had nearly healed him.
With the puppet master growing impatient, it was certain he would send someone to the door.
