Thaud fastened his seatbelt, looked ahead, and asked indifferently, "What silly things did she do again?"

"She isn't the person who has done something this time; it's your father. He actually gave her money to start a business, and she's now leading a good life abroad and is even working with Menice," Cecil said in a smooth tone without any strong emotions, as if she was telling a story.

He didn't think much after hearing it. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to take a short nap.

Then, they went straight back to the Hayes family's mansion.

Lenold had rejoined the army, so only Cecil's parents were at home. Their grandfather was attending a veterans' gathering as well.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back," Thaud shouted as he walked in.

Their parents looked over at his handsome face, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"You're finally back! Come here, we've been waiting for you two to serve the dishes. Thaud, I've prepared your favorite dishes today," Winifred sized him up. It had been more than a year since she last saw him. She didn't know what kind of case was taking him such a long time to settle.

He didn't mind at all. He put his arm around his mother's shoulder and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat now."

"Just a minute. Diana will be back any time now," Jaseh said in a deep voice.

Cecil's eyes sparkled a little when she heard that Diana was coming back, but she remained calm.

However, Thaud suddenly let out a sneer, "Dad, who is more important? Your own son, or your adopted daughter?"

"Thaud, what are you talking about? She's your sister," Jaseh rebuked him.

"My sister? I believe we all know if she's my sister or not. She can never become a member of the Hayes family just because she had plastic surgery. Our family doesn't have a person like her," Thaud had always been frank with his words, and he never cared about others' feelings.

Although Jaseh was used to it, he was still a little unhappy.

When Cecil noticed the look on her father's face, she felt even more displeased. She got up and went straight to the dining table. "Let's eat first. She can have the leftovers when she comes back. What if she returns home late at night? Are we supposed to wait for her the whole time?"

Thaud walked over, too.

Jaseh and Winifred exchanged looks. They could sense that the
