Chapter 113
The car stopped at the door of the Holmes family. The butler, who had received the news in advance, stood at the entrance with bodyguards, waiting. The moment he saw Yvonne step out of the car, tears streamed down his aged face,
She was back. Their little boss was truly back.
He wiped away his tears, determined to leave a good impression on Yvonne. Suppressing his sorrow, he tried his best to appear kind and benevolent.
Just the moment he saw Yvonne’s face clearly, he was slightly stunned,
It was different from what he imagined. He had thought that after living, adrift, Yvonne would be starving, dressed in rays. and so thin that it would break one’s heart to see her.
It turned out she looked adorable, round and cheerful, which made him happy to see.
He couldn’t hold back his tears as they flowed again.
‘Heaven has mercy. She didn’t suffer!‘
Yvonne raised her small face, saw the unfamiliar door in front of her, and took a step back in confusion.
This movement caught Tinley’s eye. Her gaze darkened as she turned back and shot a cold glance at Ian.
Ian was stunned
It was his fault. He would kneel in the ancestral hall as soon as he got back.
Yvonne turned around, took Tinley’s hand, and looked at her eagerly.
“Mom, aren’t we going home?”
Tinley gently rubbed her head and answered her gently, “Baby, this is our home.”
“Then, what about my dad and brothers? Are they inside?”
She was still young and would accept whatever others told her, living anywhere without fuss. But in her heart, she knew who truly cared about her.
Tinley’s smile froze for a moment, feeling a bit worried about her position.
Kelvin treated Yvonne very well. Seeing how the little one depended on him, it was clear, if he weren’t good to her, she wouldn’t always think about him.
She didn’t want Yvonne to be unhappy and naturally wouldn’t oppose the Adler family visiting her. However, she couldn’t help but worry about her place in Yvonne’s heart.
Tinley didn’t deny it. Deep down, she still hoped her daughter would be closest to her.
But she also knew she had been absent for too long, and such things couldn’t be forced.
At this moment, her gaze lingered on the little girl’s face as if she could never get enough of looking at her.
“Yvonne, they’re not here. Will you stay with Mommy? I miss you so much. Every night without you by my side, I can’t sleep
at all.”
Perhaps it was the bond of blood. When Tinley spoke with a sorrowful tone, Yvonne felt sad as well.

She instantly forgot all about what she had been thinking and hugged Tinley’s leg, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Mommy, I want to stay with you. I don’t want you to be sad.”

Yvonne’s face was full of worry, her obsidian–like eyes glistening. She looked both adorable and well–behaved, making her especially endearing.
The butler standing nearby was sobbing uncontrollably, covering his mouth with a dark gray handkerchief. His movements were a bit too delicate, making them look oddly out of place on him.
The little girl was really an angel sent by heaven to save their boss.
Even he was moved enough to hold back for a full minute, let alone Tinley.

News spread quickly among wealthy families.
In less than an hour, when Wendy ordered a blood–soaked object to be hung at Horizon Tower, everyone in the circle knew that the Holmes family had found their long–lost daughter.
With such a commotion at Horizon Tower today, there were already people keeping a close watch.
Currently, two rumors were circulating.
Most people believed that the little girl Kenny carried away at Horizon Tower was Tinley’s daughter. After all, witnessed his panicked expression.
The more well–informed group had a clearer understanding of the truth.
The head of the Jenkins family, one of the big three families, quickly processed the news upon hearing it.
Was Kelvin’s adopted little girl actually Tinley’s daughter?
Could the world really have such coincidences?
Was that girl born with some kind of Noble Sacred Body?
many had
The three families had always maintained the same level of ties, keeping a long–standing balance. Everyone understood this unspoken rule, neither too close nor too distant, occasionally helping each other when needed.
But now, because of this one child, the other two families had suddenly grown much closer.
The Jenkins family head, now the only one left out, suddenly turned pale. As he thought it over, he abruptly slapped his thigh.
‘Damn it! Could this be aimed at them?‘
Now, the Jenkins family had inexplicably become outsiders.
Imagining the future development between the three families, the relationship between the Adler and Holmes families would definitely grow closer. In the future, they would support each other, and whenever something came up, they would undoubtedly help each other without hesitation.
By then, the existence of the Jenkins family seemed to mean little to the other two.
Thinking further ahead, once the other two families form an alliance, wouldn’t the Jenkins family become the target of
everyone?

The next tier of families was closely following, and in recent years, many talented individuals had emerged from other families. If the Jenkins family didn’t align themselves more closely with the other two, they might really get left behind.
The Jenkins family’s head quickly summoned the influential family elders to discuss and come up with a solution.
After a two–hour meeting, he emerged from the conference room and ordered his assistant to contact the owner of the house across from the Holmes family.
He remembered that the Holmes family had a courtyard that was still vacant, with the owner having left Strate City for business. Apparently, the family’s ancestors had been high–ranking officials.
Ten minutes later, the assistant came back and reported to him with regret.

“Mr. Jenkins, that person said someone contacted him two hours ago about buying the house, and he has already agreed to the offer.”
“What?” The head of the Jenkins family was shocked, then paused to think for a moment, feeling that something was off.
The house was left there for so long without anyone buying it. After all, normal people wouldn’t rush to oppose the Holmes family by living across from them.
“Did you ask that person who bought his house?”
The assistant’s expression became even more complicated, and he said, “Yes.”
“The man said that it was Mr. Adler’s assistant who contacted him. He didn’t dare to offend them, and with the large sum of money the Adler family offered, he just sold it.”
Ray had a look of realization on his face. He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and felt that this could be an opportunity.
“There should be one a little further off. Go and get in touch with them. We can also buy the one farther away.” This way, all three families would have houses in the same area and their relationship would surely become closer. After he finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa, feeling relaxed as if he had accomplished something important. After waiting for a few minutes, the assistant returned with a pale expression on his face.
“Mr. Jenkins, the house that was a bit farther off is also gone. They said it was just sold.”
Ray suddenly stood up from the sofa, a sharpness and authority unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
“What happened? Who is it this time?”
‘Could it be that those restless families below have already received the news?‘
He began to feel a bit anxious, and then, after hearing the assistant’s words, he suddenly froze.
“It’s still the Adler family.”
“Kelvin? Why is he buying so many houses? Is he trying to connect them all?”
“It’s not him, it’s Richard who bought it. Both families haven’t even signed the contract yet, and they’ve already started having people renovate it.”
They were in a hurry, even more so than they were.
Ray was speechless.
