Chapter 2
Five years later.
One day, a red Ferrari was parked outside the building of the Seyler Group’s branch in Denvil City.
The car door opened, and a woman with a graceful figure got out of the car.
Elaine was wearing a white suit. The oversized sunglasses covered most of her face, revealing only her delicate chin.
She flicked her chestnut curls and gazed up at the towering building, which was almost of the same height as the Cameron Group. Then, a faint sneer played on her lips.
It had been five years.
And now, she had finally returned!
The car door opened again, and three cute kids jumped out of the car one after another.
The eldest, Julian Gray, wore a dignified black suit. The middle, Eddy Gray, sported a casual white outfit, while the youngest, Evie Gray, donned a pretty pink dress.
These three high–achievers in the gene pool attracted the attention of passersby the moment they stepped out of the car.
“Wow! These three kids are so cute!”
“Are they triplets?”
I’m not sure. The girl appeared much younger. Maybe the two boys are twins, and the girl is the younger sister.”
Some people took out their mobile phones and took photos of the three kids.
Julian sensed their action and ran to those people at a steady pace, warning them sternly like an adult.
“Taking photos without our consent is a violation of our portrait rights.”
Those who had taken photos were amused by his words.
“Sweetie, I mean you no harm. You’re just too adorable,” said a woman.
Julian looked at them solemnly. “Will you delete those photos or not?”
The woman was startled by Julian’s stern and threatening aura.
She thought, “He is just a child at the age of four or five. Why am I frightened by him?”
Elaine whispered a few words to the driver, who then approached the bystanders.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ladies and gentlemen, these three children are the models of Sevier Group. You will bear the consequences if these photos circulate and affect the company’s new product launch.”
After being warned, the people who took the pictures of the kids hastily deleted the photos.
When the kids saw that Elaine had walked into the building on legh heels, they hurried to catch up.
“Mommy, wait for us.”
Elaine stopped and smiled at them. “The first to arrive will get an ice cream for dessert tonight.”
Being tempted by the sweet reward, the three kids playfully vied with each other.
When Eddy was about to overtake Evie, someone tugged on his collar.
“Julian, what are you doing?
“We’re both older than Evie, so we should let her win.”
Eddy blinked adorably and said, “You are right!”
Elaine looked up at Elaine with a hint of smugness on her cute face. “Mom, did I do a good job? I left my brothers behind!”
Elaine looked at Evie with endless tenderness. She leaned over and pinched Evie’s little face. “Well done. You did a fabulous job! I’ll buy you an ice cream later.”
“Mom, could you make pancakes tonight? Eddy and Julian love them.
Seeing the kids care about each other so much, Elaine was very gratified.
The biggest gain from her wrong marriage with Anson was these three lovely kids.
She was ready to face any challenge for her children, even if she had to risk her life.
The elevator went directly to the top floor.
Martin Moore had received a call from the front desk, and he was waiting at the door.
“Ding!” The elevator door opened.
When Martin and Elaine looked at each other, their faces were both illuminated by hearty smiles.
“Elena”
“Martin
The two spoke almost at the same time.
“Martin, Evie said in a sweet voice, stealing Martin’s heart.
Martin shifted his gentle gaze from Elaine to Evie, and he leaned over to carry Evie up.
Evie held Martin’s face and kissed his cheek.
“Elena, all the senior executives have gone to the conference room. Are you ready?”
Five years ago, Elaine braced herself for death and fell off the cliff together with the kidnapper. But luckily, she got caught in a crooked tree.
It happened that Martin was flying a drone nearby. He found her and saved her.
It was a blessing in disguise because the psychological aphasia that Elaine had suffered from for many years was actually cured.
During the past five years, she worked hard to improve herself and founded the Sevier Group with the help of Martin.
Officially, Martin was the person in charge of the Sevier Group, and Elaine was just a chief designer.
However, in fact, Elaine held the same shares as Martin, and she was also the owner of the Sevier Group.
After concealing her identity for five years, Elaine chose to come back now because Lamia had posted a picture of Elaine’s wedding dress design on Twitter and declared her intention to enter the fashion circle.
Interestingly, thanks to Anson, several fashion influencers had volunteered to promote her, and even her fans were speculating wildly about her impending marriage to Anson.
Back then, when Lamia had just returned from abroad, she kept flattering Elaine while sending her messages to explain Anson’s late returns.
Now, Lamia even took Elaine’s design as her own, which was quite a shameless move.
The kidnapping case five years ago was full of doubts, but Elaine still hadn’t found any clue after five years of investigation.
But she believed she could figure it out if she started with Anson, She had the ability to protect herself now, and she would make those who had betrayed her and bullied her pay the price.
When she looked at the three lovely kids, the seriousness on her face disappeared instantly.
“I’m going to a meeting. Go to my office and wait for me, okay? If you need anything, you can tell the secretary”
“Mommy, don’t worry. We will be good,” Julian replied calmly.
Eddy squared his shoulders and said, “Mommy, go ahead! We will wait for you.”
Evie chimed in docilely, “I will be good too.”
Elaine kissed them on the cheek and followed Martin to the conference room reluctantly.
The secretary took the kids to Elaine’s office.
After sending the secretary away with an excuse, Julian carefully took out the iPad and pointed to a picture of the smiling Lamia. He said, “Mom came back this time because this woman stole her design.”
“How can we help Mommy?” Evie asked with big eyes.
“When I was investigating this woman, I discovered something else.” Julian quickly showed them a photo of a man.
Evie covered her mouth in shock.
She thought, “Why does this handsome man resemble my brothers so much?”
“Could it be that he is our dad?”
“If he is our dad, did he abandon Mom and us because of this woman?” Eddy crossed his arms and asked with a frown. Julian said, “Everyone said that Lamia is the love of his life, and be spent a lot of money on Lamia’s birthday to make her happy.”
Hearing Julian’s words, Eddy clenched his fists tightly.
They knew how hard Elaine had worked to take care of them in the past five years.
Eddy thought. This man is not worthy to be our father at all.
“Lamia is going to hold a solo concert this Saturday. How about we give her a great surprise? Eddy smiled meaningfully.
