Ste blinked twice and held her breath for a second.


    It was very rare for Lucia and Waldo toe to Prosper Bay, especially Waldo.


    No doubt, their presence here was due to the news on the Inte.


    The news, having spread like wildfire, had surely gotten to them.


    Uneasy, Ste swallowed hard, wondering how she was going to exin herself to them.


    Smiling awkwardly, she greeted them, “Wee, Grandpa, Grandma.


    What brought you here?”


    “We came to see you,” Lucia replied emotionlessly.


    Ste stepped forward and held Lucia’s arm.


    “Well then,e on in.


    Have you eaten breakfast? Or is there something you’d like me to prepare for you?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    “Don’t worry; we’ve eaten,” Waldo replied.


    Though his voice was calm, Ste’s nervousness made her decide that he was very angry at her.


    She tried not to meet his eyes as she, supporting Lucia, led them inside.


    Once they had sat on the sofa, Ste got both of them a ss of water each and then also sat down.


    For a while, no one said anything, which made Ste more uneasy.


    Swallowing, she tried to break the ice and asked, “I believe you have seen the news on the inte, right?”


    At that moment, her heart was beating wildly.


    Lucia nodded and replied, “Yes.


    ”


    Ste, ashamed to meet Lucia’s eyes, lowered her head.


    Wrapping her arms around herself, she opened her mouth to exin herself.


    But no words came out.


    What was the use of exining if they ended up not believing her?


    With a sigh, Lucia asked, “Ste, do you take us as your family?”


    Hearing this, Ste raised her head, face filled with confusion.


    What did Lucia mean? Weren’t they going to me her for what happened?

    Lucia sighed again, then continued, “Say we didn’t see the news, how long would it have taken you to inform us? For how long would you have faced such a big grievance alone?”


    Waldo nodded slightly and said, “We are a prominent family.


    Others can’t just take it upon themselves to judge us.


    I’m well-connected to influential and powerful people.


    All I need to do is pull a few strings and those people who are troubling you will have their mouths mped shut!”


    Ste had thought they were here to scold and rebuke her.


    Their support wasn’t something she expected.
