Good Luck
“New York?”
Jaquan had intended to take Wanda away, but he suddenly heard the familiar name and froze in his
tracks.
His expression turned sour as he remembered what his aunt had done last time.
She had taken it upon herself to arrange a marriage for Cierra without even meeting her, ready to
marry Cierra off to a member of the Trevino family.
And now she was here, visiting and even bringing a New York guest along.
Cherry was still oblivious to Jaquan’s unease, her face beaming with pride.
She stepped closer to Jaquan and said, “Yeah, the guest should be arriving soon. Do you want to come
with me to greet them?”
“Sure,” replied Jaquan, his face expressionless. He turned and put some distance between himself and
Cherry.
He looked down at Wanda and spoke in a gentler tone, “There might be a lot of guests at home later,
so try to stay with my mom and not wander around, okay?”
The inquiring tone and the gentle words made Wanda’s face flush with heat, but she couldn’t argue
with him in front of others.
She could only glance at him and nod slightly.
Will usually stayed with Sarah. As long as she was asked to take care of Will, it didn’t matter who else
was around her. Moreover, Sarah was extremely kind to her, so she didn’t mind being with her either.
For Jaquan, Wanda’s glare didn’t make him feel angry at all. He also found her especially cute.
Wanda, who rarely smiled, had shown some extra emotion, which surprised him.
Now, a smile formed on his face, dispelling the coldness he had displayed towards Cherry earlier.
However, Cherry saw their little exchange and felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a small stone had
been thrown in her eye and a needle had pierced her chest.
Her face also turned cold as she said to Jaquan, “Jaquan, didn’t we agree to greet my mom and the
guest together? If we wait any longer, they might already be inside.”
Jaquan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her with a poker face as he replied, “If they’re inside,
they’re inside. They can also be asked to leave if necessary. Why rush? The Dunphy family doesn’t
need one or two more guests, and if you’re not satisfied, you can ask them to leave now. After all, my
family didn’t invite them in the first place. It’s better than getting a bad review for being a bad host later
on.”
His tone was far from friendly.
Cherry pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction. She lowered her head unhappily as if she was about to
stomp her foot.
It was obvious that she was angry and needed him to comfort her.
But he didn’t even look at her and walked past her without a second glance.
It was only after he had walked a few steps away from her that she raised her head. She saw that he
was already several steps away and didn’t even bother to give her any
attention.
She quickly lifted her skirt and followed him.
“Jaquan, wait for me!”
The path leading to the Dunphy family’s old house was lined with trees, which made the
walk slow and could take several minutes. Not to mention Belle wanted to introduce the trees’ origins to
her esteemed guests while walking.
‘Mr. Trevino, most of these trees were planted by my brother-in-law for my sister. Since my niece went
missing, my sister’s health hasn’t been good. In the last few years, her health deteriorated to the point
where she could hardly walk, and she almost didn’t
make it!”
Belle explained while Draven followed behind her, appearing like a courteous
nobleman.
Ryan, who was walking beside them, was the one who kept up the conversation, exaggerating both his
tone and manner. “Really? How is Mrs. Dunphy now?”
“She’s doing well!” Belle replied.
She recalled that Sarah had given her a phone call with a harsh tone of voice when she told Draven
about Cierra’s information a few days ago. Her heart sank.
She had good intentions. Draven was a great catch and, apart from his ex-wife, he had no other flaws.
Moreover, Cierra had been missing for so many years, and no one knew what kind of life she had led
outside or whether she had even received an education. Belle guessed that Cierra might not be a clean
girl already.
Maybe Draven didn’t even want to marry Cierra, she thought to herself.
After all, the Trevino family was also a top-notch rich family and on par with the Dunphy family.
Belle thought that she was just too kind-hearted, like now, being scolded by her sister but still bringing
Mr. Trevino to visit.
In her opinion, Draven was a good-looking man. Even if he had an ex-wife, he was more than enough
to match her niece, who had not dared to show up yet.
“Initially, my sister was in bad shape, but her daughter, who went missing for a while, returned recently.
With the right care and medication, she naturally got better,” Belle continued, taking a cue from Ryan’s
previous statement.
“May I ask how she went missing?”
Draven, who had been silent until then, suddenly asked. It was a mystery that had been on his mind
lately, given the number of coincidences.
Belle was unaware of the situation and thought they were just curious. She didn’t mind telling the story.
“It’s all because of my sister’s love for travel. She was heavily pregnant and still insisted on going to
New York for a vacation, hoping to relax and move around more to aid in natural childbirth. But
unfortunately, an earthquake occurred, and she had to deliver the premature baby.
The hospital staff, who were afraid of not being able to fulfill their duties, took my sister’s child and gave
it to someone else. It was truly a tragic incident!
Fortunately, my sister’s two children were persistent in searching for their younger sister, and they
eventually found her and solved the mystery. But I’m not sure of the details since they didn’t tell me
much.”
When the Dunphy family almost donated a billion dollars, Belle had wanted to ask what was really
going on behind the scenes, but her sister no longer saw her as family and wouldn’t tell her anything.
It was really frustrating,
Talking about those dollars just made her more upset.
With so much money to spare, why didn’t they give her any?
In her eyes, they didn’t even care about the Chester family anymore.
She now thought less of her sister and the Dunphy family.
Also, she thought herself a forgiving person who was still quite kind-hearted to them.
She had even tried to help her niece find a partner, waiting to see if they would appreciate her efforts.
Thinking about meeting up with Cierra and the others soon made Belle’s heart leap with excitement.
‘We need to hurry up and go. If we keep chatting like this, it’ll take a long time to see
them.”
Draven and Ryan, who were following behind, were both stunned by the story that Belle just told.
The wealthy heiress who had been lost in the chaos of the New York earthquake had been taken away
by someone.
If it was true, did that mean Cierra’s disappearance was not an accident, but rather, something done
intentionally?
But there was no time to think about it further, as Belle interrupted their thoughts.
The two of them nodded in agreement and hurried to catch up with the flamboyant
woman ahead of them.
“I have to say, my sister’s life is pretty good. She married a great husband and had a few cute kids. Her
sisters-in-law don’t bother her as they all moved out on their own, so they got this huge mansion all to
themselves. They really lucked out.”
It was just a shame that fate had other plans, and Sarah’s daughter was taken away.
Belle sighed silently.
Just then, a deep, indifferent voice came from up ahead.
“I remember a few years ago, you didn’t speak so kindly in front of my mother.”
