When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 703: True Identity

Caleb Lancaster gazed at her blandly, and when his eyes met his brother’s once more, Melanie Lancaster’s smile grew even brighter, "Brother, you need to stay safe and sound in the future. Prestige Group can’t do without you!"

Did she mean that Adrian Lancaster hadn’t managed the company well?

Caleb Lancaster didn’t respond.

After a while, Melanie Lancaster let go of his hand, feeling that her return this time was truly untimely.

It seemed like no one welcomed her much.

Ever since little Joy became part of the family, the rejection and dislike toward her had only intensified.

Actually, none of this had anything to do with little Joy.

It was because of her own crooked intentions; she had meddled with the branch company in the Netherlands and started transferring assets, and the elder master had found out about it.

He was genuinely heartbroken that his children had never managed to become a united force!

Since it was already late, Melanie Lancaster stayed over at the old house, where she also had a room of her own.

Eliza Hayes indeed had a bad premonition, always feeling that this sister-in-law was a troublemaker, making her visit home a waste if she didn’t stir up a commotion.

Dinner was sumptuous.

During the meal, Eliza Hayes was deep in thought, but she habitually took care of the man in the wheelchair beside her, serving him soup, handing him a napkin... incredibly gentle.

And each time she unintentionally raised her eyes, Eliza Hayes would see Melanie Lancaster smiling at her with a hint of malice in that smile.

She felt a bit guilty and avoided her gaze.

After dinner, Adrian Lancaster left with Faye Turner. He also had a vague foreboding that was related to his aunt, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

"Adrian."

Sitting in the back seat of the Lamborghini, Faye Turner noticed he was distracted, so she wrapped her arm around his and softly called his name.

Adrian Lancaster, not wanting his wife to worry, squeezed her hand—

"It’s nothing, I’m investigating and gathering evidence on Aunt’s matter. When the time is right, she’ll also be sent to prison."

"But..." if that day truly comes, "What about Grandpa? He’s so old now, can he handle it?"

A son and a daughter should be the happiest thing in this world, the time to enjoy a peaceful old age.

For the first twenty years, his son went missing.

Now that the son is back, the daughter is headed to prison, how can the old man endure that?

"Melanie Lancaster is not Grandpa’s biological daughter at all." Adrian Lancaster looked back, finally revealing this news to his wife.

Faye Turner widened her eyes in shock after hearing that!!

A few seconds of silence filled the car.

"I just found out too." Adrian squeezed her hand tightly, appearing very calm, "Grandpa said she was adopted; it was a snowy day when she was abandoned at the Lancaster’s doorstep."

Was her purpose so strong?

Who abandoned her??

"Grandpa, being kind-hearted, took her in and treated her like his own daughter."

Adrian Lancaster said, "However, some malicious traits are ingrained in one’s bones; my aunt has been scheming and competitive since childhood, never satisfied."

Listening to all of this, Faye Turner also felt a twinge of heartache, having raised an ungrateful person?

So there’s such a story in the Lancaster Family?

Back at home, Adrian Lancaster took his wife upstairs, and when Faye went to take a shower, he picked up the phone, dialed a number, and instructed in a low voice—

"Melanie has returned. Keep a close eye on her, I want to know her every move."

Adrian Lancaster then said in a deep voice—

"Also, don’t allow her into my place, don’t let her contact any of the staff here. Top priority is to protect Miss Joy."

"Yes, President Lancaster!"

After hanging up, Adrian Lancaster sat down on the sofa, his demeanor elegant and noble, with eyes cold as ice.

A little later, he picked up his phone and dialed another number, asking in a low voice—

"How’s the evidence collection going? With the criminal evidence we currently have on Melanie Lancaster, how long can she be put in prison?"

"President Lancaster, I’ve newly uncovered a network of connections, but... I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to mention it." The other party clearly hesitated.
