The car soon pulled up to the top of the hill. The first thing that cinto view was the expansive horse ranch.

10 Free Coins Not far off stood a magnificent castle, from a distance, it looked like it touched the sky. Just looking at it stirred a sense of longing....

That was the Dawson mansion. The Dawson family's place in Falvaria was just like the position of that castle- commanding. absolute.

As the motorcade approached, the electronic gates slowly opened after scanning the vehicle. A row of security personnel in black uniforms stood at attention, a visual reminder of how difficult it was for anyone to get past this threshold.

The car drove for another five minutes before finally pulling up in front of the castle's grand entrance.

The butler was already there, flanked by a line of maids, all standing respectfully. When the car stopped, the butler stepped forward and opened the door with a bow.

"Mr. Abraham. Ms. Dawson" Abraham got out first, then extended his hand into the car.

Stella looked at his broad, steady palm before gently placing her small hand into it.

With a light pull, he helped her out of the car.

The butler, who usually kept his emotions in check, couldn't help the redness that welled up in his eyes the moment he saw Stella.

"Miss, you're finally home. These past few years without you... something's always felt missing.” Stella greeted him sweetly, "James." James, the butler, was already in his fifties.

At her greeting, he gave a soft smile. "Let's go in. Madam has already returned." Stella nodded.

Abraham reached out to adjust her coat, but she said, "I'm not cold." Falvaria's weather was much warmer than Rivermount's-Rivermount was truly freezing Abraham took her hand and led her inside.

Along the way, the staff greeted them one after another. Seeing that Stella had really returned, most of them looked genuinely happy.

Back when Stella lived here, she had always treated the staff kindly, so many of them had grown fond of her. There were a few exceptions-those who looked down on her because she was adopted.

Still, because of the way Abraham and the entire Dawson family treated Stella, even those with complaints dared not speak Shad even been bribed by other heiresses to try and trip Stella up-but in the end, they were either chased off by Abraham or Evelyn.

They passed the main entrance...

Then walked for several more minutes until they reached the private villa where Evelyn spent most of her time.

+10 Free Coins Evelyn's voice rang out, "I don't even know if Star still likes this stuff. That rascal Abraham said her tastes have changed since living in Rivermount." "As long as Madam prepared it, Miss will definitely love it," Harper said reassuringly. "No matter how much her taste changed out there, nothing beats home." Harper was the maid in the Dawson mansion Evelyn agreed, "Exactly. His still the best. And seriously-what kind of people are those in Rivermount? I can't even stand to let Star suffer the tiniest bit, and they nearly got her killed." By the tshe said that last part, Evelyn's voice carried a sharp edge of anger.

"Alright, Madam," Harper said gently. "Didn't you and Mr. Abraham already give them what they deserved? Totally wrecked them." "I'm still mad." "Yes, Ms. Dawson really went through hell this time." Harper's voice was full of sympathy.

Evelyn added. "Exactly. Thank goodness that little head of hers is smart-didn't fall for anothers for any of those losers out there. At least her taste in men is still top-notch."

"That's for sure." Harper said. "Mr. Abraham has kept Ms. Dawson in the palm of his hand all these years-how could she possibly look at anyone else?" That finally made Evelyn smile.

"Well then, all those years Abraham spent taking care of her weren't wasted." The two of them continued chatting in Falvarian, On the way back, Stella had been worrying about how to talk to her mother about her and Abraham But now, hearing the conversation between Evelyn and Harper, all her concerns vanished.

Abraham looked over at her. "Not nervous anymore? Steila nodded. "Not at all." If Mom's saying all that, what is there to be nervous about? All she had to do was admit fault and play sweet-that always worked.

This was the Dawson family. This was what hmeant to Stella...

Ever since she was little, no matter what she did wrong, she alwaysm she admitted believed that as long as alway her mistake and softened her tone, things could be resolved. It wasn't like the Reed family in Rivermount.

Back there, she had been completely unprepared for all the scheming Over time, she realized, those people who called themselves family were something else entirely.

Evelyn and Harper were still talking.

"Do you think Star will like this dish? What about that one!"
