Alexander?”
Alexander’s thoughts were still stuck on Lisa’s astonishing resume and those two blank years.
What had she gone through?
Why was that information erased?
Who erased it?
In fact, she must be even more impressive than what’s on the resume.
Because she also plays piano, hacks, and is a nine–ball champion… she always shines!
Alexander’s heart felt like it was hanging by a thread, unbearably
tense!
He picked up his phone and added The N Pioneer on WhatsApp twice, but still no response.
Like a stone sinking into the sea!
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Billy, “What’s her relationship with Aaron?
Why isn’t it written here?”

Billy paused, putting down his coffee, “So you’re trying to catch her cheating!”
Alexander’s face darkened instantly, and he shouted, “I think Aaron is not that simple!”
He felt that Aaron was a beast lying in wait, watching everyone from
the shadows.
Billy looked utterly helpless. “Fine, but I’m charging extra this time!
I just don’t get how some filmmaker could outshine a top student?”
He gave Alexander a meaningful stare. “Your eyesight seems fine!”
Andrew: He was blind before!
“Get lost!”
Alexander kicked out, but Billy dodged swiftly.
“Remember to pay up!”
Billy wisely turned and strode away, footsteps rapid, stirring up a gust of wind.
The office door swung open under his hand, then slammed shut
behind him.
Meanwhile, Aaron was huddled in a pitch–black room, head throbbing, eyes bloodshot.

Virginia crept inside, holding a bowl of blue medicinal brew.
“Senior, are you alright?
I brought your medicine.”
She inched forward in the lightless room, nearly feeling her way.
Suddenly–crash! The bowl shattered.
A large hand grabbed her neck.
“Told you never to enter my room,” he snarled. “Idiot.”
“Ah!
I…” Virginia struggled desperately, gasping for air.
She Looked for Him Twice as a Child
That afternoon, Alexander called Lisa, but she didn’t answer. So he went straight to the family manor.
Some things needed sorting out personally.
He got kicked out by the old man within ten minutes.
Victor bellowed that he had no such grandson, ordering him thrown
out.
But Alexander didn’t leave. He found the butler directing work in the garden.

The butler had served the Ford Family for thirty years. He hurried over at the sight of Alexander.
“Young Master, the old master’s coughing fits are acting up. Please don’t upset him again!
I’ll call you when he’s in better spirits.”
Alexander nodded. “Please take good care of Grandpa. I just came to
check on him.”
He paused, lowering his voice.
“Butler, I need to ask you something.
Did Mrs. Ford… know Grandpa when she was little?”
The butler froze, thinking hard.
“When she was little?”
He shook his head, chuckling. “Why would you think that?”
“I remember four years ago, when Old Madam Li first brought her
here.
Yes, the old master saw her for the first time then. He praised her beauty and lovely name.”
Alexander frowned.
Four years ago… The timeline didn’t match!
He pressed on, urgency threading his tone.

“Think harder. Twelve years ago–did a little girl come to the manor looking for someone?”
His heart skipped a beat as he watched the butler.
This answer mattered.
Deeply.
The butler looked baffled.
Twelve years?
Too long ago.
But he soon dredged up memories, brow furrowed as he sifted through
time.
He nodded. “Right! A girl came twice that year.”
“First time, she wore rags–no shoes. We thought her a beggar trying to sneak in. Sent her away.”
“Next day, she returned holding a note with writing.”
“What did it say?”
Alexander’s voice tightened.
The butler smacked his forehead. “Ah!
‘I’m looking for Alexander.‘
Odd thing–she wrote ‘Chen‘ as in ‘stars.“”

He glanced at Alexander.
“I figured she must know you, Young Master.
Why else have your name on paper?”
“Thought maybe something important–a lost child you knew.
So I called your boarding school.”
Alexander’s heart dropped. A call… to the school?
“What… what did I say?”
His voice went rough.
The butler sighed. “You said… you knew no girl looking for you.
Called it a mistake or prank.
I told her just that.”
Alexander closed his eyes briefly.
He’d denied her!
Said it himself!
He asked hoarsely, “How did she… react after hearing it?”
Uncle Wang shook his head, a hint of pity on his face.
That girl cried for so long, squatting by the door all morning.

Eventually, he’d offered her some money to buy food.
But she refused outright, ran off, and never came back.
Each word stabbed at Alexander’s heart like needles.
A dull ache.
So it was true–a girl had come looking for him back then.
Twice, no less, carrying that misspelled note.
Yet he’d shut her out completely over one damn phone call, one “don’t know her.”
