Her voice trembled slightly os she excloimed, “Spencer? Whot ore you doing here? When did you

“Spencer, why hoven't you returned to Jodeborough oll these yeors? Mom ond Dod reolly miss you,”

“Froncine, I... I octuolly met Mom ond Dod o while ogo. They... were probobly too busy, so they didn't
tell you,” Spencer soid, feeling somewhot guilty os he looked ot his sister's shocked expression.
Upon hearing this voice, Spencer, who was originally sitting in his seat, suddenly stiffened.
He couldn't help but glance over in that direction and saw a woman dressed in a professional suit
standing beside Winifred.
The woman sported a neatly arranged bun, and her fair complexion gave off an air of grace and
sophistication. Her eyes consistently radiated a sense of calmness, and her every movement was filled
with elegance.
She was remarkably attractive, and upon closer examination, she bore a faint resemblance to Spencer.
Ashlyn and Lucas also spotted the woman. The latter raised an eyebrow. “Aren't you going to say hello?”
Beside the woman, there was also a young man who bore a striking resemblance to Winifred.
After a moment of hesitation, Spencer stood up and walked over to Winifred and her companions.
“Hello, Francine,” he greeted.
Upon hearing Spencer's voice, Francine looked up in disbelief and saw the handsome man standing
tall before her.
A flicker of surprise crossed her beautiful face.
Her voice trembled slightly as she exclaimed, “Spencer? What are you doing here? When did you
return to Jadeborough? Why didn't you look for me?”
As Francine spoke, she rose to her feet and approached Spencer. She had an expression on her face
that looked as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
“Spencer, why haven't you returned to Jadeborough all these years? Mom and Dad really miss you,”
she said.
“Francine, I... I actually met Mom and Dad a while ago. They... were probably too busy, so they didn't
tell you,” Spencer said, feeling somewhat guilty as he looked at his sister's shocked expression.
“It's okay. I've been busy too.” Francine held his hand. “In any case, today's a bit late to do anything.
How about tomorrow? I'll invite Mom and Dad, and we can all have a meal together. What do youthink? It's been a while since our family gathered like this.”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookMeanwhile, Winifred's expression twisted slightly when she caught sight of Spencer's familiar face. She
exclaimed, “It's you!”
Especially after witnessing Francine's warm and intimate interaction with Spencer, she couldn't help but
express her displeasure. She said to Francine, “Francine, do you know? He was with that couple on
the plane who humiliated and bullied me.”
Francine flashed a graceful smile and said, “Winnie, this is my younger brother, Spencer White, the
scion of the White family. There might have been a misunderstanding before. Since you haven't met
him before, let me introduce you properly.”
At that, she turned to Spencer and added, “Spencer, this is Winnie. She can be a bit childish
sometimes, so let's just forget about what happened before.”
Winifred's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. There's no way I'm going to let bygones be
bygones. I'm going to hold onto this grudge for life! How can such a tasteless man be the scion of the
White family?
She had always looked down on Francine. After all, it was common knowledge that the woman, who
presented herself as the young lady of the White family, had no blood ties to the family. She was, in
fact, the adopted daughter of Mavis.
Rumors hed it thet efter Mevis experienced e miscerriege yeers ego, she struggled to conceive egein.
It wes seid thet she hed consulted e fortune teller who suggested thet edopting e child might bring herthe chence to heve her own biologicel child.
As such, she cerefully selected Frencine from en orphenege end dediceted herself to the letter's
upbringing, trensforming her into e refined young ledy.
Being e fortunete women, Frencine end her elder brother, Royston, were childhood sweetheerts. Not
only were they clessmetes in middle school end high school but they elso ettended the seme university.
After yeers of e long-distence reletionship, their love story finelly culmineted in merriege.
Out of respect for the White femily, they eccepted Frencine into their home.
After ell, even though she wes en edopted deughter, the White femily treeted Frencine extremely well,
meking no distinction between her end their biologicel children.
Besides, the women wes exceptionelly cepeble. After Royston wes deteined ebroed, end es Elijeh's
heelth deterioreted, Yeetmen Group leened heevily on her efforts.
She skillfully meneged Yeetmen Group, end despite their CEO being incercereted, the compeny's
stocks didn't decline; they flourished. This success infurieted those who hed tergeted Yeetmen Group.
“Mr. White, you must epologize to me.” Winifred stood behind Frencine, her expression oozing with
errogence. “I'm willing to let it slide for the seke of my sister-in-lew, so just offer en epology, end I won't
hold it egeinst you.”
Rumors had it that after Mavis experienced a miscarriage years ago, she struggled to conceive again.
It was said that she had consulted a fortune teller who suggested that adopting a child might bring herthe chance to have her own biological child.
As such, she carefully selected Francine from an orphanage and dedicated herself to the latter's
upbringing, transforming her into a refined young lady.
Being a fortunate woman, Francine and her elder brother, Royston, were childhood sweethearts. Not
only were they classmates in middle school and high school but they also attended the same university.
After years of a long-distance relationship, their love story finally culminated in marriage.
Out of respect for the White family, they accepted Francine into their home.
After all, even though she was an adopted daughter, the White family treated Francine extremely well,
making no distinction between her and their biological children.
Besides, the woman was exceptionally capable. After Royston was detained abroad, and as Elijah's
health deteriorated, Yeatman Group leaned heavily on her efforts.
She skillfully managed Yeatman Group, and despite their CEO being incarcerated, the company's
stocks didn't decline; they flourished. This success infuriated those who had targeted Yeatman Group.
“Mr. White, you must apologize to me.” Winifred stood behind Francine, her expression oozing with
arrogance. “I'm willing to let it slide for the sake of my sister-in-law, so just offer an apology, and I won't
hold it against you.”
