Felix sounded like he had also struggled in figure out Zoe’s smartwatch.
Before 1 could say anything, Jate took charge, putting on her best authoritative voice,
“Why are you answering Zor’s phone?”
Tcouldn’t help but laugh at her serious tome. She looked so cute while being stern, Hearing Jane’s Voder, Tells pused for a moment, then he explained pertly.
“Zoe is busy with his robotics project. He will be free in ten minutes. You can..“
Jane didn’t let him finish, cutting him off mid sentence.
“We will call after ten minutes.”
She immediately hang up and then high–fived me.
“Am I a smart girl, mommy?”
The thought of Felix getting dismissed by a four–year–old was so amusing that I broke into a fit of laughter
“Yes, you are brilliant, my daughter!”
Jane looked at me for a moment and then raised her small hands, cradling my face. Her innocent tone was filled with concern as she spoke.
“It’s been so long since I have seen you laughing like this, mommy.”
Her observation melted my heart into a puddle, making me realize how much stress I’d been carrying. Having such a perceptive daughter was indeed the best part of my life..
Zoe called back after ten minutes, and they talked about their engineering projects. It excited my Jane for tomorrow’s activities. She was so full of energy that it took me a while to put her to sleep.
Any mother with young kids could relate to my exhaustion after Jane’s bedtime. So, I poured myself a glass of wine and played soft music to relax
But it was just my wishful thinking
The very moment I sat down to unwind, my cell phone rang. Seeing that familiar number dashing on the screen sent a chill down my spine, I pressed the green iron with trembling hands to receive the call.
“You have been back for days, and yet, you haven’t come to see me in person? I am so disappointed
In the luxurious hotel suite, I lost my confident demeanor while facing the distinguished gentleman before me. That phone call had summoned me to meet an important person in my Efe, so I didn’t waste time and came to meet my benefactor.
Six feet tall, perfectly groomed man, dressed in an expensive suit was none other than my older brother, Henry Chen, the apple of my eyes.
Currently, I was holding his hand with a playfull pout to avoid his displeasure with my cuteness.
“I am so sorry, brother!”
My pitrous tone didn’t get any sympathy from Henry as his stern expressions sent shivers down my spine. But still, I tried to calm his anger.
“You know my situation. I have to keep a low profile after returning.”
Tapping his foot on the floor restlessly. Henry exuded a dominant aura which commanded respect without fury. I had expected him to scold me because of my carelessness, but instead, he said,
“I am truly proud of your success so far, Drielle.
His voice became emotional as his eyes sparkled with tears. His brotherly love brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t hold back my emotions and sniffled It was indeed my brother’s support that had enabled me to achieve this much during the past few years.

Chapter 43
My parents had never cared about me after Dad’s death, Henry had looked after me as an elder brother since childhood. 35, whe informed my brother. And for my mother and stepfather, I had simply vanished under mysterious circumstances. They didn’t detectives or pressure lave enforcement agencies to investigate my disappearance thoroughly.
The irony was that Melody and Felix had permanent places in my mother’s and stepfather’s business dealings.
As my former friend, I had always thought well of Melody and even asked my father’s old business contacts to help her find opportunities. And even after destroying my life, she was thriving in her career.
Not to mention Felix, He was deeply favored by my mother and stepfather after our inarriage. They had showered him with their resources, never suspecting him once of my disappearance.
Well, I told Henry about Melody’s recent aggression. He promised me.
“An employee with a history of workplace violence isn’t acceptable in any professional environment. I will convince some mutual contacts to limit her opportunities when she’s out of Reed Aerospace. Don’t worry!”
His sweet assurance soothed my tense muscles. My brother was the only person in my life I could rely on. He gave me the important documents related to Felix’s business vulnerabilities as requested and questioned me
“What’s your plan for Felis. Drielle?”
Reading through the documents, I focused on the technical details of his recent projects. A cold glint flickered in my eyes as I replied to Henry-
“I am going to make sure that he experiences what it feels like to be trampled by someone you once dismissed and despised by the industry. Just wait and watch!”
