Chapter 465

When Keira said that, Nara slightly froze.

….

Matias immediately asked, “What jade?”

Nara looked down.

Keira was about to say something when Nara took out her cell phone and typed a message for her to read, “I lost it.”

Keira was startled. “You lost it?”

Nara nodded.

Keira then frowned and said, “Alright then.”

She and Lewis left after taking Matias and Nara home.

Matias then looked at Nara and suddenly asked, “Nara, that jade was left to you by the family member you were looking for. How could you just lose it? I know it’s under your pillow. Why would you lie?”

With her gaze downcast, Nara gestured with her hands, “Matias, I found them.”

Matias’s eyes lit up. “Where are they? Are they wealthy? They must be wealthy enough to send out so many ads to look for you… Nara, now that you have found them, you can live a good life!”

But to his surprise, Nara’s eyes welled up with tears as soon as he said that.

Matias was taken aback. “Nara, what’s wrong?”

Nara gestured, “Matias, are you trying to send me away?”

Matias immediately waved his hands. “No, I didn’t mean that. I just thought you could have a better life…”

Nara continued to gesture. “I want to live with you, even if life is tougher here.”

Matias said, “But your family is looking for you everywhere. They must love you too! Nara, you…”

Nara suddenly began to cry, then with tears rimming her eyes, she looked at Matias and continued to gesture with her hands. “I don’t want relatives like that. They are all bad people! They take lives with impunity! They make me feel disgusted!”

But sign language couldn’t convey much information, so she could only express her revulsion.

Matias quickly said, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it anymore… I won’t say another word, don’t get agitated…”

With tears circling her eyes, Nara entered her room and locked herself inside. She wrapped her arms around her knees and began to cry. How could she have such detestable relatives… Especially Jackson, who was supposed to be her cousin, yet he tried to violate her… and he even broke Matias’s leg! And Austin… He used to be her affectionate brother from childhood, but now he had become repulsive and loathsome. She would never forgive them, not in her entire life!

As Nara cried, she pulled the jade from under her pillow and threw it into the trash can with all her might. Having just thrown it away, she suddenly felt something amiss, so she picked it up. On closer inspection, she noticed that the quality of the jade seemed off. It was different from before. That piece of jade had been with her since she was a child, and she was accustomed to its appearance and warmth. She had caressed it until it became very smooth. Nara held the jade and examined it, then suddenly realized it had been switched! This wasn’t her original piece of jade… Her eyes widened as she suddenly realized something… It was Jackson… Jackson must have hidden her jade and given her a fake one… Did he think she would want to go back to that family?

She clenched the piece of jade tightly before throwing it back into the trash bin. She looked down momentarily before leaving the room and going to Matias’s side. Seeing how agitated Nara had been just now, Matias was a bit flustered. Now that she came back, he immediately stepped forward. “Nara, are you alright?”

Nara stared at him, motioning with her hands. “Matias, let’s move to another city and start anew.”

Matias was startled. “But, your university is here…”

Nara continued to gesture. “I won’t attend university anymore. With the Gill family here, do you think they’ll let me graduate?”

Matias fell silent.

Nara continued gesturing, “Matias, I can’t find a job in Clance, and I can’t graduate. It’s better to leave this heartbreaking place.” She didn’t want to be so close to that family… She wanted to escape from them and to ensure they could never find her!

Matias said, “Didn’t Keira say today that you should try interviewing at Nora Research Institute? We’ll leave if it is a sham and you can’t get the interview.”

Nara nodded.

Neither of them noticed that outside, someone was sneakily watching them. Jackson sent this person to monitor the siblings. The man knew some sign language and could understand Nara’s gestures. He picked up his phone and called Jackson, “Sir, Nara said she would go for an interview at Nora Research Institute tomorrow. If she doesn’t get it, she will leave Clance and never return!”

Jackson sneered. “That’s great. Ambush them on their way out. Get rid of those two for me so they’ll never be able to return!”

“Yes!”

After that, the subordinate hung up.

It was soon the next day.

Nara’s mood had improved significantly. Matias scrutinized her mood closely, and seeing no other concerns, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, grabbing his cane and limping, he followed at her side. “Let’s go, it’s time for the interview!”

Nara gestured, “I can go by myself. You should stay at home and rest.”

But Matias shook his head, “It’s indeed too bizarre, so I’ll accompany you. If you run into danger, at least I’m a man.”

Nara hesitated before nodding.

The two took a bus to the Nora Research Institute. They stood outside, staring quietly at the grand and serene courtyard, not even daring to breathe too heavily. Land price in Clance was exorbitantly high, yet the Nora Research Institute had such a large yard here, which was utterly astonishing.

The two approached the security booth. Nara didn’t even dare to ask. It was the security guard who spoke first. “What are you here for?”

Matias swallowed nervously. “We’re here for an interview…”

The guard hesitated. “Interview? Do you have a notification letter? Let me see it…”

Matias nudged Nara. Immediately, Nara took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and showed it to him. After looking at it, the guard frowned. Then he looked up, measuring Nara and Matias with a skeptical gaze.

Anxious, Matias inquired, “Is there a problem with this message? We were also confused, so we came to try our luck, not knowing if it was legitimate. Sorry for the inconvenience…” Before he even finished speaking, he was about to bow apologetically.

From a distance, the person tracking them called Jackson. “Ha! They’ve been stopped at the security booth! Mr. Gill, you’ve guessed it correctly!”

Jackson sneered. “That mute is only a university student, but she wants to enter Nora Research Institute. That’s simply a fool’s dream!”
