"Juliet," Zachary replied, naming someone from their past. "After her biological parents found her, she never came back. I didn't expect her to return this time, but she did. She even brought a lot of things and told me she plans to make regular donations to the orphanage." Aveline's expression shifted slightly. Her memories of Juliet were already a bit blurred, but she vaguely remembered that Juliet had always been a favorite of Hilda's. Hilda would always give Juliet the best of everything she had.

Back then, the orphanage's conditions weren't great. Most of the children wore patched-up clothes, but Juliet always had new clothes and always looked clean and beautiful.

Aveline had been a quiet child, always keeping to herself in the corner.

Zachary sighed. "I never thought she'd come back. Now she's the cherished heiress of the prestigious Cooper family in Larbor City, living a life of luxury."

Aveline's eyes widened slightly. Was it the same Cooper family she knew of?

Zachary noticed her reaction. "What is it?"

Aveline shook her head. "Oh, nothing. You mentioned the Coopers, and I recently met someone from the Cooper family in Larbor City. I wonder if they're related." Zachary asked, "Was it the eldest heir, Gernard Cooper?"

Aveline nodded. "Yes, that's him."

Zachary chuckled. "He's Juliet's older brother."
