Chapter 470

Upon hearing this, Keira immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

….

She had thought of this possibility at the Gill residence but wasn’t sure since she hadn’t seen Nara’s jade pendant.

Therefore, she had hurried over here.

She hadn’t expected that it was indeed Nara’s…

So, Nara was the daughter Lady Gill had been searching for.

Keira suddenly felt it laughable.

Lady Gill favored Jackson because of her missing daughter and even clashed with the Olsen family for his sake, but maybe she had no idea what Jackson had done to Nara.

How ironic! How laughable!

Keira took a deep breath.

Matias then asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know where Nara’s family is? Nara took the jade pendant last time to find them, but it seems it didn’t go well… She doesn’t even want to mention them now…”

Keira sighed upon hearing this.

She said, “The people posting this advertisement are the Gill family.”

Matias was stunned. “What? Which Gill family?”

He didn’t dare assume it to be Austin’s family.

Keira didn’t say a word.

Matias slowly realized something. “You mean… that Gill family?”

Keira nodded.

Matias was stupefied.

He stared at Keira blankly. “Keira, don’t joke with me about this! How could Nara… How could she be the missing daughter of the Gill family?”

As a distant member of the Gill family, Matias had also heard that the cherished young daughter of the first branch had been kidnapped.

And their lives had been affected because of this.

They were a collateral branch of the Gill family, originally living off the main branch. The main branch even established basic living allowances for the collateral branches.

After several divisions in the family, many distant relatives could barely maintain a living.

But ever since that little girl went missing, the allowance was canceled because Lady Gill spread the word that despite doing so many good deeds, no one was protecting her daughter!

Low-income people should strive to be self-reliant and not live like beggars!

After losing the allowance, Matias’s family’s life became more challenging because of his parents’ low income.

After adopting Nara, they struggled to put food on the table. Later on, when both parents fell severely ill, Matias and Nara went to seek help from the head of the Gill family.

There used to be a subsidy for illnesses in the clan, and members could even take out loans and repay them later.

But when they went there, the clan head looked at them with an unspeakable expression and said, “The subsidy is also canceled. You have to figure it out for yourselves.”

Without the money for surgery, the parents could only go home to await death.

After both parents passed away, Matias and Nara depended on each other even more; Matias dropped out of school early to work just to earn tuition and living expenses for Nara…

Suddenly, Matias felt like laughing.

In the mysterious workings of fate, he and Nara were brought together.

He chuckled softly and then looked up at Keira, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak…

He suddenly understood Nara’s guilt toward him and why she remained silent about knowing who her family was after finding out the truth.

Nara must feel she owed it to him!

Matias had tears in his eyes, and he held Keira’s arm. “Come on, let’s go to the market to find Nara!”

Nara was born a little princess in the Gill family, so she shouldn’t have to suffer with him here.

Seeing Matias’s reaction, Keira nodded and set out for the market with him.

But after a few steps, they ran into a neighbor rushing back quickly.

Upon seeing them, the neighbor shouted, “Matias, hurry up! Nara is in trouble!!”

At the market.

Nara was shopping.

Being able to work for Nora and receive such a high internship salary was beyond her expectations, so she was delighted, and even her steps felt lighter.

But unexpectedly, she ran into an unwelcome visitor just as she approached the meat stall… Austin.

Austin, with a few thugs, was watching her from a distance while sucking on a lollipop with a smirk on his face.

Sensing his gaze, Nara instinctively stepped back and turned to leave.

But Austin gestured, and the little punks following him immediately rushed forward, blocking her path!

Nara turned stubbornly, glaring fiercely at the brother she didn’t recognize.

Austin stared at her, sneering. “Nara, come with me!”

Nara immediately shook her head.

Austin said, “If you don’t come quietly, I’ll have to force you!”

After that, Austin gestured to the people around him. “Grab her for me!”

The bodyguards on either side immediately grabbed Nara’s arms and dragged her toward a van parked nearby.

Nara struggled forcefully but couldn’t break free.

The vendors around couldn’t help but point and gossip. Intimidated by Austin’s presence, no one dared to intervene.

Nara glared fiercely at Austin, unable to use sign language with her arms restrained. She spoke dryly, each word deliberate, “Why… are… you… doing… this?”

Austin scoffed.

Why?

Of course, it was because Jackson had received news about his sister!

But Jackson claimed he felt aggrieved and wanted to vent his frustrations on Nara. Only then would he tell Austin the information about his sister!

So, Nara would have to bear the torment for his sister’s sake!
