Bet entered the elevator with the young man, who asked curiously, “Who’s that woman?”


    Instead of answering his question, Bet asked back, “Do you also feel she looks like my uncle?”


    The young man’s name was Sanford Quimby, a student funded by his uncle.


    Sanford acquiesced to Bet’s question.


    Bet sighed regretfully, “I feel the same.


    But sadly, she’s not my uncle’s daughter.


    Her name is Ste, and she’s also a designer Like her mother.


    Her husband is the richest man in Seamarsh.


    ”


    The richest man in Seamarsh.


    Sanford was a little surprised to hear this.


    But he didn’t say anything.


    Bet continued, “I asked you toe back this time not only because I hope you can help me with the new project but also to find my uncle’s daughter.


    ”


    He heaved a deep sigh.


    “I found a photo of my uncle’s family, but it was identally damaged.


    Now we can only rely on the repaired version.


    ”


    Bet handed the photo to Sanford.


    “You have spent time with my uncle more than I did, so you must have heard something.


    Maybe you have some clues.


    ”


    Sanford took the photo and looked at it for a while.


    “Okay.


    I’ll try my best.


    ”


    His mind was filled with Ste’s images.


    After their dinner, Matthew arrived to pick up Ste, which caught Miley’s attention.


    She couldn’t resist teasing him.


    “Mr.


    rk, are you so concerned someone might whisk Ste away that you’vee to pick her up in person? How clingy!”


    Ste, slightly abashed by Miley’s remark, quickly spotted a chance for a lightheartedeback.


    With a sly smile, she gestured behind Miley and quipped, “Look behind you.

    Miley turned around and her expression changed as she noticed Neville standing there.


    Seizing the moment, Ste mirrored Miley’s earlier tease.


    “Mr.


    Pierce, are you so concerned someone might whisk Miley away that you’vee to pick her up in person? How clingy!”


    Caught slightly off bnce and feeling a blush creep up her cheeks, Miley retorted half in jest, half in mock annoyance, “You ingrate, I’m here purely for yourpany.


    ”


    Noticing Miley’s reddened face, Ste softened, appreciating the humor of the situation.


    She expressed her gratitude.


    “Thanks for today.


    I’ll let you and Neville enjoy your evening.


    ”


    Miley yfully rolled her eyes at Ste.


    As Neville approached, Miley turned and linked her arm through his.


    He greeted Ste with a nod, and then leaned closer to Miley, his voice soft.


    “Shall we head home?”


    Miley agreed with a nod and turned to Ste.


    “We’re heading out.


    Take care on your way back.


    ”


    Ste responded with a warm smile, “Thanks, you too.


    ” After bidding farewell to Miley, she joined Matthew as they walked toward their car.


    At the same time, Bet and Sanford exited the restaurant and noticed Ste and Matthew getting into their vehicle.
