Elaine was weak and weary along the way and could not compose herself. She was so sad that she almost cried. On the one hand, she did not want to believe that she was adopted and on the other hand she was upset with herself for her stubbornness.

Her father was so good to her even when she was adopted and she was not even grateful. She realized that she was wrong.

She sobbed and was determined to be good to her father and would not throw tantrums anymore. After half an hour, the car stopped at a private courtyard.

Elaine looked around after exiting the car and asked, “Didn’t you say that we’ll go back to Riverside City? Where are we?”

“It’s too late tonight. We’ll go back tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Elaine lowered her head and followed him into the building.

Darnell sat on the sofa and was speaking to his men.

Elaine raised her head and looked Darnell in the eyes and lowered her head again. She said nonchalantly, “I’m tired and going to bed.”

“There are empty rooms on level three. Pick one.”

Elaine went upstairs and Darnell asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

Vincent sat beside him and struggled not to laugh, “I told her that she was adopted.”

Darnell was speechless.

“Childish tricks.”

“Yeah, it’s childish but she still believed it.” Vincent continued, “No wonder she is not suspicious of Caesar.”

Darnell rubbed his temples and did not know how to respond.

Vincent said, “It’s good anyway, at least she’ll remain quiet. Otherwise, she’ll escape when she sees you.”
