Yuvan was the one coming toward them. “Ms. Rachford, my grandpa has invited you and Mr. Sutton to
join us for the meal.”
At that, Genevieve curled her lips.
Instead of getting the housekeeper to keep away the gift that Genevieve gave to him in the house, Her
bert placed it on the chair behind him.
Once he saw Yuvan returning with the two people, Herbert stared at Genevieve for a while.
Even though the look in his eyes was still an intense one, he smiled. “Thank you for making the little tig
ers a pair again.”
Genevieve returned the smile. “I’m glad you like it.”
Herbert then arranged for Genevieve and Cooper to sit at his table. Genevieve sat by his left, and Sylvi
e sat by his right.
As Sylvie’s head was hung, no one could see the emotions in her eyes.
The few housekeepers then surged into the front yard as they served delectable dishes onto the

Everyone there, other than Genevieve and Cooper, were Zeiglers, so they chatted merrily away with on
e another a while after the meal started. Midway, they even raised their glasses and wished Herbert a h
appy birthday.
Herbert kept chuckling, and he even drank two glasses of wine. It was obvious that he was elated.
“Eat more, Sylvie.” Herbert dotingly said as he put some food on Sylvie’s plate. Then, as his heart. ach
ed, he said, “Look at you, you’re so skinny.”
Herbert had long gotten the second test results.
He heaved a heavy sigh of relief when he saw them, as he could finally be sure that Sylvie was his biol
ogical granddaughter.
As the driver has said, Sylvie must have inherited her father’s ruthless character.
“Okay.” Sylvie nodded obediently. “Granddad, you’re not in great health, so don’t drink anymore.”
Herbert chuckled. “Okay, okay. I won’t drink anymore.”
Cooper curled his lips when
he saw the elderly man’s sweet interaction with the young woman. He then slowly started, “General Zei
gler, I’ve heard the news about Ms. Juliana gone missing since young.”
At that, Sylvie jerked her head upward to glance at Cooper as the hair on the back of her neck
stood up.

“Is that so?” Herbert sighed.
Ever since his second daughter went missing, he had been searching for her like a madman, but years
came and went by without any news. Herbert had even contacted the media multiple times. to announc
e to the public how a hefty reward awaited anyone who could provide him with clues about his daughte
r’s whereabouts.
However, even after his wife died and his children grew up and had families of their own, he was still un
able to find his daughter, Juliana Zeigler.
“I found out about this from a friend.” Cooper pushed his glasses higher. “I heard that Ms. Juliana appe
ared at Dartan, and coincidentally, I have friends in Dartan. So, I asked for their help to look into the ma
tter. My friend then found out that Ms. Juliana used to work on a farm called Corrin.”

“Of course.” Cooper glanced at Sylvie, who looked tense, and handed Herbert a phone where the detail
s were kept in. “I even found a few of her photos.”
Sylvie nearly dropped the fork she had in her hand.
Didn’t Jack say that he’ll erase my mother’s information and photo for me when I made the deal with hi

Herbert hurriedly took the phone from Cooper and scrolled to the end. It was then he was greeted by th

She was not beautiful, but she looked like a gentle person.
Herbert’s excitement died down when he saw the photos. He desperately tried to find a trace of his dau

When Sylvie leaned over and saw her mother’s photo, her heart skipped a beat.
She then covered her mouth and quietly muttered, “I lost the box where I kept all my mom’s belongings
when I was moving back then. I don’t even have a single photo of her now…”
Then, her lashes shook, and her eyes reddened.
