Although she couldn’t access the core research at the Research Institute, she now had access to 319. So, she could conduct some research on her own.
But there had been no significant progress so far.
The main ingredient of 319 was simply nothing like any existing Thing, impossible to study and there were no previous records.
The most convenient way was to find that group of people, including Alice Eugene. However, after that day, they disappeared without a trace, and there was no information about them whatsoever…
During this time, Johanes Miles and Liam Davis came to the outside of Everlasting Palace to find her several times.
But she deliberately avoided them, not wanting to meet them.
Until one early morning, Old Master Miles waited for her outside the Everlasting Palace.
It was then that Daisy Zane met them.
With Old Master Miles, not only did Amelia Miles come, but also Amelia Miles.
Juan Wright went out to buy breakfast and was about to return when he saw the scene from afar.
Daisy Zane one against three.
He immediately called her: “Lady Zane, what’s the situation there, do you need my help?”
“No need.” Daisy Zane glanced at the three of them, walked a few steps away, and said, “You can go back. I can handle them with one hand.”
Juan Wright chuckled and said, “Alright. If you need anything, just give me a call. It something happens to you, no, it you lose a single hair, Third Master will have my life.”
Daisy Zane casually raised the corner of her mouth, which could almost be overlooked: “Don’t worry, for the sake of your life, I won’t lose any hair today.”
“Alright, thank you, Lady Zane.”
After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane looked at the three of them: “Is there anything you need?”
“Sister, Dad and Grandpa miss you.” Amelia Miles held Old Master Miles’s arm and said, “So they came to see you. Please let us in and sit down, also to take a look at where Sister lives. I heard that the house price of Everlasting Palace is expensive.”
“Zane, it’s been a long time since we last met.” The Old Master smiled kindly, “You’ve become more beautiful since the last time we met.’
Daisy Zane gave him a polite smile and directly ignored Amelia Miles’s words, saying, “There’s a tea house up ahead.”
Amelia Miles raised the corner of her mouth and sneered disdainfully. But Daisy Zane didn’t look at her, so she naturally didn’t see it either.
“Alright, let’s go and sit there.” Johanes Miles said.
They arrived at the tea house and sat down. Daisy Zane sat alone on one side, not wanting to be close to them.
Amelia Miles brewed tea, very professionally, with the air of a wealthy young lady in every move.
It seemed to be deliberately done for Daisy Zane’s benefit, every step was extremely detailed and thorough. She evaluated the tea set, tea fragrance, and tea color. She even glanced at Daisy Zane from time to time.
It was as if she was ridiculing Daisy’s shallowness, ignorance, and vulgarity.
Finally, when pouring the tea, she deliberately filled Daisy’s cup full and placed it in front of her. The spout of the teapot was also facing her.
Daisy Zane looked down, her expression unchanged, and looked at Old Master Miles. Out of respect for an elderly person, she asked politely, “Is there anything you need?”
“I mainly came to apologize today.” Johanes Miles lowered his posture and said, “I, as a father, am incompetent. I left you in the Countryside when you were just a child, and have ignored you for all these years. I want to apologize to you.”
Amelia Miles lowered her head and sipped her tea, her fingers grabbing the teacup tightly until her knuckles turned white.
But Daisy Zane just looked at him, didn’t say anything, and didn’t even change her expression.
An apology alone, besides lowering the Director Miles’ status, could make up for nothing.
Without any conversation, Old Master Miles tried to break the ice: “There is also a piece of good news to tell you.”
Daisy Zane looked at him.
“The Miles Family is planning to hold a Family Recognition Banquet before or after the New Year, to recognize you as a member of the Miles Family.” Old Master Miles said, “By then, you’ll be one of the young ladies of the Miles
Family, and you’ll get a share of whatever Amelia has.”
Daisy Zane looked at Amelia Miles, seeing her holding the teacup, trying her best to maintain her gentleness, but her face turned pale from the heat of the tea.
She raised her eyebrows, “Really?”
“Yes.” Johanes Miles said, thinking that Daisy Zane would be very happy to hear this news, “The Family Recognition Banquet will be held publicly, and from then on, you will be the legitimate young lady of the Miles Family.”
But Daisy Zane didn’t show any change or put the identity of the Miles’ young lady to heart. She deliberately asked Amelia Miles, “Do you agree?”
Amelia Miles, being asked, hurriedly smiled: “Of course I agree. Sister and I are both our father’s daughters and should have the same. I am very happy that Sister can come back and our family can be reunited.”
“Really?” Daisy Zane asked again, deliberately stabbing at her sore spot to see how long she could pretend.
“Of course it’s true.” Amelia Miles’s smile was about to fade.
Daisy Zane scoffed, “There’s no need for a Family Recognition Banquet. Just give me a share of whatever Amelia has.”
She looked at Johanes Miles: “You know that what I want is not too much.” Johanes Miles looked startled for a moment, unable to react immediately.
“You’re all members of the Miles Family, so of course it’s not too much.” Old Master Miles said in time.
Daisy Zane ambiguously hooked the corner of her lips: “Since you’ve delivered the message, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave. I have some things to do.”
After saying that, she stood up, picked up her teacup in front of her, and placed it upside down on the table. The tea quickly spread and soaked the tablecloth.
She pulled out a tissue and slowly wiped her slender fingers: “Miss Miles’ tea art and etiquette still need some work.”
Double-edged words, she glanced at the spout facing her: “Otherwise, you’ll be laughed at when you go out.”
Amelia Miles’ face turned from pale to red instantly.
She originally wanted to make Daisy Zane look bad in front of her grandfather and father, to show them how vulgar the girl from the Countryside was compared to herself. But in the end, she was the one who ended up looking bad…
Daisy Zane smiled at her indifferently, nodded to Old Master Miles, and left.
As soon as Daisy Zane left, Old Master Miles’ face immediately darkened. He looked very unhappy with Amelia Miles: “Amelia, what you did today was a bit too much.”
“Grandpa…” After calling him, Amelia Miles lowered her head.
“She is your sister. When she returns to the Miles Family, you will all be daughters of the Miles Family, members of the same family. Don’t bully her just because she has lived in the Countryside.”
“I didn’t, I just…”
“You’re not a child anymore, you’re grown up. You should know your limits.” Old Master Miles interrupted, “No matter the reason, this kind of thing shall not happen again in the future. In the end, it’s the Miles Family who loses face.”
Amelia Miles clenched her hands tightly, feeling sick to her stomach and blocked at her chest, as if she couldn’t breathe. But she still obediently said, “I know, Grandpa, it’s my fault.”
“Hmm.” Old Master Miles said, “Your sister’s return is helping the Miles Family. You won’t lose anything that is rightfully yours. Don’t think too much.”
Amelia Miles’ nails pierced the palm of her hand, the stinging pain made her a little sober. The title of Miss Miles had been stolen, so who was she?
It was Daisy Zane who was the illegitimate daughter that could not be shown in public.
“I know, Grandpa..”
