Chapter 877

Aveline quickly sent her resignation email to Maria.

But before she could even close her laptop, Maria's call came through.

"Aveline, I heard you've found your biological family. Are you planning to stay in Larbor City for good?" Maria's tone remained casual as if they were still close friends.

After a brief pause, her tone shifted, becoming more cautious. "You know?"

Aveline let out a bitter, silent laugh. "How long were you planning to keep it from me?"
