597 Chapter 596
âŠ.
Keira was slightly stunned when she heard this.
She really hadnât anticipated that things would progress so smoothly; she looked at Vera.
Vera was staring at her and suddenly laughed. âDo you know Iâm not your only competitor?â
Keira frowned. âCould you explain what you mean by âcompetitorsâ?â
Ever since she became Keera, she had been helping Keera complete the missions assigned by the South family while pushed forward by Matthew.
She didnât even know the goal of doing all this; she only knew that she could enter the South family to save her mother by doing so.
As she was pondering, Vera laughed. âYou donât know? Didnât your biological parents tell you?â
Keira was taken aback. âMy biological parents?â
Vera raised an eyebrow. âYou really donât know? Ha! That really is something rare.â
Keira said, âStop beating around the bush and tell me.â
Vera scoffed. âNo wonder they say Creraâs Rabbit is useless. So, you really donât remember anything from before you were five years old.â
Keira was taken aback again. âBefore I was five?â
âWe both grew up in the South family until we were five. Our biological parents were also from the South family. Afterward, we were sent away from the South family and exiled to other countries. You were sent to Crera, and I was sent to Country F. Then our most loyal servants became our foster parents, raising us and leaving us with a small company worth approximately ten million. Next, it depended on whether we could develop and grow until we were powerful enough to return home.â
While Vera assessed Keira up and down, she said, âYou donât remember anything from before you were five, but your foster parents should have told you about this. Didnât they mention it at all?â
Keira fell silent for a moment. âMy foster parents passed away quite early. And as you know, Iâm a useless pawn. the South family stopped contacting me later on.â
Vera scoffed. âIs that so?â
Keira looked back at her. âOr what?â
Vera raised an eyebrow. âIâm just curious. Youâthe discarded pawnâdonât seem to be that useless now. So, Keera, what exactly happened to you?â
Keira frowned. âNow is the time for me to ask questions, not the other way around.â
Vera then lowered her gaze. âFine, what else do you want to ask?â
Keira looked at her. âWho are our biological parents?â
Vera scoffed. âOf course, they are from the South family. As it turns out, your parents and mine are cousins. As for who your parents are exactly, I donât know. After all, all families are in competition, and they send their children out without knowing the destination or even what names the children are given.â
Everyone was in the dark?
And their parentsâŠ
Keira suddenly thought of her time in Oceanion. Keera mentioned she was stolen by someone from the South family and then raised by foster parents in Clance.
At that time, Keira thought her sisterâs foster parents were the people from the South family who stole her, but now it seemed the foster parents were just servants of the people who stole Keera.
Why did they steal Keera?
Did it have anything to do with their mother, Jodie South?
Keira pondered for a long while before she looked at Vera. âHow many South family members have been exiled?â
âTwelve.â
Vera answered promptly. âEveryone uses animal code names. There are twelve of us, and we all want to return home.â
Keira asked, âSo, completing the tasks allows us to return home?â
Vera laughed. âIt seems you really donât know anything. I seriously doubt that youâre the real Rabbit! After all, this is our deepest secret!â
She leaned forward. âIf you want to go home, you can go back anytime!â
This made Keiraâs pupils shrink. âWhat?â
Vera leaned back, watching Keira. After a long stare, she suddenly laughed. âRabbit, youâve forgotten the events from when you were five⊠Surely, you havenât forgotten the way home, have you?â
That statement surprised Keira again.
The way home⊠Did Keera know?!
But she wasnât KeeraâŠ
She tensed her jaw, fearing Vera might notice something, and stared firmly at Vera. âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
Vera then said, âYouâve forgotten about it? Thatâs hilarious! All these years, youâve never been back. Is it because of that? Weâve all been wondering why you, Rabbit, never went home. We thought you had a bad relationship with your parents and didnât want to see them⊠But this is really amusing!â
Hearing those words, Keira finally said, âSo, where exactly is the South family?â
She could tell from Veraâs words that Vera often went homeâŠ
She must know where the South family was!
Keira didnât want to play games or have her life controlled by the South family; she just wanted to go there and save her mother!
As expected, Vera looked at her. âYou want to know, huh? Iâll tell youâŠâ
