“Alice.” Caroline had her hand on Alice’s arm. Caroline was about to comfort her, but Alice violently brushed off her mother’s hand, before running out of the room with tearful eyes.

Caroline went after her, but she failed to catch up with her daughter.
She stood frozen in place, clenching her fists as a sinister gaze appeared in her eyes. Sometime later, Caroline took out her phone and looked for a nameless number on her contact list. It took her a moment of hesitation before she finally pressed the dial button.
“Rachel, I will never allow you to walk all over my daughter! Never!”
Caroline exclaimed in her head.
The old mansion of the Sullivan Group was located on a hillside in the eastern part of Apliaria. The majestic mansion spanned across a vast, lush land.
At this very moment, inside the living room of the main house, a woman was slowly walking down a spiral staircase; her fair hand, trailing slightly along the banister. She was wearing a closely- fitted cheongsam, which fit her beautiful figure like a glove. In reality, she was already near her fifties, but because of how well she maintained her skin, her face remained young and beautiful. In everyone’s eyes, she looked like she was still in her thirties.
“Mrs. Sullivan, Miss Schultz is here.” A servant approached her, bowing respectfully to the dignified woman.

Once Maria was downstairs, she gently replied, “Have you prepared her favorite fruits and desserts?”
“Yes, they’re all ready, Ma’am.” Right after the servant finished talking, the sound of high heels strutting across the floor resonated, accompanied by Alicia’s sweet voice.
“Aunt Maria” Alicia hugged Maria at once.
“I really missed you, auntie”
Maria rubbed her nose and smiled brightly.
“I don’t think you missed me at all! You haven’t visited me even once since you came back to Apliaria this time. If I hadn’t called you to invite you here, I’m not sure you would’ve remembered me.”
Alicia stuck her tongue out, holding onto Maria’s arm.
“How could I forget you? You’re my dearest aunt!”
The Schultz family and the Sullivan family were related because Alicia’s mother was Maria’s cousin, making Alicia Maria’s niece. In reality, Maria hadn’t had much contact with Alicia in the past, but for Drake’s sake, she began taking care of Alicia. That was the reason they grew closer to each other.
As a matter of fact, the Schultz family wasn’t as powerful as the Sullivan family, but Maria once wanted his son Odin to marry Alicia, considering the fact that their families were relatives, and that Drake was a fairly influential man.
However, instead of Odin, Alicia had fallen in love with Victor, the illegitimate son of the Sullivan family. That actually drove a wedge between Maria and Alicia. If the Alicia didn’t want to visit her,
Maria wouldn’t bother to ask her to do so.
“You’ve always been such a sweet girl.” Maria chuckled.
“Boy, you must’ve eaten a lot of sweets lately!”
Alicia and Maria walked towards the Living room, hand in hand, and sat on the sofa. Alicia grabbed a small plate of cake on the table, and gave it to Maria.
“I’ve eaten plenty of sweets since I was a little girl thanks to you, Auntie Maria. That’s probably why I turned out to be really sweet!”
Maria laughed heartily after hearing Alicia’s joke.
