Casper had just wrapped up his day at the office and decided to make a special trip back to the old family estate. As soon as he stepped into the yard, something in the distance caught his eye.

There stood a girl with a slender figure and a ponytail swishing in the air, happily playing games with Brock. Her resemblance to Eliza was uncanny-both in figure and appearance.

Dillon stepped forward with a slight bow, "Mr. Casper, that's Ms. Susan."

Now, Eliza seemed perpetually cold, distant, and burdened with worries, rarely smiling.
