"Mom, I've missed you too. Seeing you safe and sound before me, it fills me with joy. It's good to have
you back, that's all that matters."
"Mom, it was my fault for worrying you before.” Eunice reached out to wipe away Belinda’s tears,
explaining, "I was investigating the whole Calvin and Arlen situation and didn't dare reveal that I was
alive. I feared tipping off our enemies. Rest assured, I was well taken care of by Alexander, nothing
happened, and he didn't take advantage of me in the slightest."
Not like the rumors that were swirling about her virtue being compromised.
"Silly child, what are you talking about! As long as you're alive, even if you were missing an arm or a
leg, our Griffith family would still embrace you!"
Belinda caught herself, realizing her words might have come off wrong, and quickly corrected, “Tut-tut-
tut, what I mean is, no matter what happens, you will always be a part of the Griffith family. We will
never abandon you, no matter the circumstance."
"Thanks, Mom." Eunice said, moved as she snuggled closer into her arms.
Arabella noticed the contrast in her aunt's demeanor and found the change from strong-willed woman
to this gentle figure quite endearing.
However, Serena didn't share the sentiment. She had been enjoying a warm Moment with her
grandparents just before her aunt's arrival shifted the attention, leaving her feeling sidelined.
"If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have known that Calvin, Arlen, and those heartless cousins of
yours were up to such despicable acts behind our backs!"
Belinda was so furious when she heard the news that she felt her blood boiling. Luckily, Arabella had
left some medicine with May before she left, which saved Belinda from a potential stroke.
"It's all thanks to Bella. If it weren't for her being with me that night, I couldn't have handled it alone."
Eunice recounted the events of that night succinctly. When Belinda learned that Arabella could hack
into phones, dismantle surveillance without detection, knock out security guards, and was an
exceptional medic who could preemptively counteract drugs slipped into their drinks.
"Exactly! If it weren't for Bella, we wouldn't have realized that the dangers we faced in the past were all
orchestrated by them!" Darren chimed in.
He had kept quiet about this before, seeing how his wife almost fainted from rage.
He and his wife had ran into various accidents in their trips. But now it turned out to be made-made
accidents.
"To think, the things even your Uncle couldn't uncover, you managed to trace back and find the
evidence.” Belinda said incredulously, patting Arabella's head with admiration. "You've amazed me time
and again, dear. You're outstanding!"
As the atmosphere grew warmer, Eunice steered the conversation back, "Oh, Mom, you mentioned
that Serena won first place in a piano competition. I caught a glimpse of you and Dad rewarding her for
it"
"Yes, yes, yes." Belinda suddenly remembered her granddaughter who had been momentarily forgotten
and gestured for Serena to come over. "This child won first place in a national competition."
Eunice smiled, "So, what did you two reward her with?"
Serena, seeing the topic finally shift back to her, beamed with a sweet smile, enthusiastically sharing
the details of her prize with her aunt, even boasting a bit in front of Arabella.
"But you two might be playing favorites. Bella's credentials outrank those competition judges. Guess
who she is?"
Serena's face paled slightly, blindsided by her aunt's sudden advocacy for Arabella's recognition.
Was this an intentional move to overshadow her own achievements?
“Higher than a competition judge?” Belinda and Darren were both surprised, guessing several times but
not arriving at the right answer.
