Chapter 516 Get Back What Was Hers

Had she returned earlier, she would've seen Oliver before he passed. But... why didn't she?

A look of sadness brimmed in Harriette's eyes. "Whether it's around Grandpa or the Young family, there's no place for me to stick around."

Back then, they rarely made any public appearances. Many knew of the Young family heiress and that there was only one of her. While Harriette used to hold that position, the Youngs kept that information from the public after what happened that year. Without her, Anastasia became the heiress of the Young family in succession. At that thought, Harriette revealed a bitter smile.

Feeling extreme heartache, Miles suddenly regretted his question. "Sorry, Harriette. I shouldn't have asked. Back then..."

It had been a long time. Back then, everything seemed to confirm Harriette's death. However, he didn't believe it and continued searching for her traces.

Yet, one day, Anastasia barged into a party where Oliver was at. At the event, she saved a highly esteemed socialite.

When the socialite inquired about her identity, a flustered Anastasia blurted that she was the Young family heiress.

It was precisely that event that brought Anastasia to the public eye. Since then, she had repeatedly explained that it was an accident and that she had been too panicked in that situation that she gave such a response. However, Miles knew she had waited for that moment all along. With Harriette's disappearance, she took the chance and announced herself as the Young family heiress.

"It's okay." Harriette forced a smile and looked at him. "Miles, I know I don't have a place in the family anymore. But don't worry. My return won't be permanent this time. I came back simply because I missed Grandpa... a lot." "Harriette!" Miles frowned, refusing to listen to such words. He looked at her long face and solidified the decision he had made long ago.

He held her hand. "Now that you're back, you should stay. It took me so long to find you. Grandpa would've been elated to know you're back. As for the others..."

He narrowed his gaze and seemingly made a promise. "Whatever was yours, I'll get it back for you."

Whatever was hers... Harriette's gaze brightened briefly but soon reverted to her initial look of indifference. She didn't respond because she knew what he meant by that.

Feeling Miles' care and remorse, she found herself somewhat intrigued. If he realized there was more to what she felt she deserved, would he get them back for her too?
