"Mom, I've missed you too. Seeing you safe and sound before me, it fillswith joy. It's good to have you back, that's all that
matters."
"Mom, it was my fault for worrying you before.” Eunice reached out to wipe away Belinda’s tears, explaining, "lI was investigating

well taken care of by Alexander, nothing happened, and he didn't take advantage ofin the slightest."
Not like the rumors that were swirling about her virtue being compromised.
"Silly child, what are you talking about! As long as you're alive, even if you were missing an arm or a leg, our Griffith family would
still embrace you!"
Belinda caught herself, realizing her words might have coff wrong, and quickly corrected, “Tut-tut-tut, what | mean is, no

"Thanks, Mom." Eunice said, moved as she snuggled closer into her arms.
Arabella noticed the contrast in her aunt's demeanor and found the change from strong-willed woman to this gentle figure quite
endearing.
However, Serena didn't share the sentiment. She had been enjoying a warm Moment with her grandparents just before her aunt's
arrival shifted the attention, leaving her feeling sidelined.
"If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have known that Calvin, Arlen, and those heartless cousins of yours were up to such
despicable acts behind our backs!"
Belinda was so furious when she heard the news that she felt her blood boiling. Luckily, Arabella had left smedicine with May
before she left, which saved Belinda from a potential stroke.
"It's all thanks to Bella. If it weren't for her being withthat night, | couldn't have handled it alone."
Eunice recounted the events of that night succinctly. When Belinda learned that Arabella could hack into phones, dismantle
surveillance without detection, knock out security guards, and was an exceptional medic who could preemptively counteract drugs
slipped into their drinks.
"Exactly! If it weren't for Bella, we wouldn't have realized that the dangers we faced in the past were all orchestrated by them!"
Darren chimed in.
He had kept quiet about this before, seeing how his wife almost fainted from rage.
He and his wife had ran into various accidents in their trips. But now it turned out to be made-made accidents.
"To think, the things even your Uncle couldn't uncover, you managed to trace back and find the evidence.” Belinda said
incredulously, patting Arabella's head with admiration. "You've amazedtand again, dear. You're outstanding!"
As the atmosphere grew warmer, Eunice steered the conversation back, "Oh, Mom, you mentioned that Serena won first place in a

"Yes, yes, yes." Belinda suddenly remembered her granddaughter who had been momentarily forgotten and gestured for Serena to
cover. "This child won first place in a national competition."
Eunice smiled, "So, what did you two reward her with?"
Serena, seeing the topic finally shift back to her, beamed with a sweet smile, enthusiastically sharing the details of her prize with
her aunt, even boasting a bit in front of Arabella.
"But you two might be playing favorites. Bella's credentials outrank those competition judges. Guess who she is?"
Serena's face paled slightly, blindsided by her aunt's sudden advocacy for Arabella's recognition.
Was this an intentional move to overshadow her own achievements?
“Higher than a competition judge?” Belinda and Darren were both surprised, guessing several times but not arriving at the right
answer.
