Chapter 78 I Have High Expectations for You

Daniella reached out to Nic with a text message. [Nic, how’s it going there?]

Nic replied soon enough. [Do you miss me?]

Daniella suppressed her disgust and texted him back. [Yeah, I miss you.]

[I can’t come back just yet. Tell me. What do you want me to do now?]

Daniella remained patient and replied, [Nothing. Rest well. I’ll be waiting for you to return.]

[I’m sure you’ll feel very excited if I have sex with you in another face.]

Daniella bit her lower lips hard [You naughty boy!

The following day, Caroline woke up to find an email on her phone.

Curious, she opened it and discovered it was sent by someone named G. The email proposed an

opportunity for Caroline to pursue further studies in Ylesir after achieving a position in the design.

competition. At the end of the message, the email bore the competition organizer’s stamp

Caroline was taken aback. “Further my studies in Ylesir?”

She quickly composed a reply.

[It’s a pleasure to meet you. Could you please inform me what position I need to secure in order to

participate?]

After half an hour, she received a response.

[Any one of the top three positions in the competition. In other words, you must distinguish

# among the remaining hundred designers to earn this opportunity. Only two weeks

remain until the third round. Ms. Shenton, I have high expectations for you.]

Caroline thanked G and sank onto the sofa, lost in thought.

‘G? Who could it be? There’s a renowned international designer based in Ylesir John Salvatore.

Could it be him?”

She entertained the idea briefly but swiftly dismissed it as preposterous. While the competition

was held both locally and abroad, it was unlikely that John would be involved. Moreover, among

the multitude of participants, it seemed improbable that he would take notice of her designs. Yet, the competition’s genuine stamp on the email couldn’t be ignored.

She recalled seeing the same stamp on the email she received upon advancing to the next round.

Even if John Salvatore wasn’t involved, she couldn’t pass up such a rare chance.

Caroline refused to settle for another secretary position. She was determined to give her all in the competition and fulfill her long–standing dream. Designing had been her passion for as long as she could remember.

In the afternoon, Daniella arrived at the Xander Residence where she was warmly received by the helper.

“Ms. Love, Master Xander is upstairs. He mentioned that you should go to his study after you arrive, “the helper informed her.

Daniella smiled and replied. “Thank you, but I think it’s best to wait for him to finish his business and come downstairs.”

The helper nodded and said, “Alright, 111 go and inform him then ”

Daniella settled herself on the sofa and patiently waited until she saw Grayson coming downstairs.

His face was filled with warmth and affection.

“Ella, why didn’t you come upstairs? I wanted to show you something.” Grayson said.

Daniella stood up and glanced at the photo album he held

“I thought you were busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Master Xander, what kind of surprise do you have for me?” she inquired.

Grayson smiled contentedly. “You’re such a considerate child. Come, let me show you something.”

They sat on the sofa together. Grayson opened the album and found a particular photograph, which he handed to Daniella, asking. “Take a look at this. Do you think you resemble my daughter?

As Daniella gazed upon the photograph, her face suddenly froze. If it weren’t for the age of the picture, she would have mistaken it for Caroline

Caroline and Grayson’s late daughter were strikingly similar. However, Grayson, being elderly and having poor eyesight, mistook Daniella for his departed daughter.

Attempting to remain composed, Daniella replied stiffly, “Master Xander, I’ll believe whatever you say. My eyesight isn’t the best, so I can’t be certain”

Grayson held the photograph beside Daniella’s face to compare the two.

“I believe you look just like her!”

Suppressing her emotions, Daniella pursed her lips tightly.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed a missing part of the photograph.

Quickly changing the subject, she asked, “Master Xander, was this photo deliberately cut?”

Grayson’s expression immediately changed upon hearing her question.

“That was the man my daughter was involved with. It’s Neil’s father. If it weren’t for him, my

daughter wouldn’t have left the Xander Residence with him. When I found her, she was nothing Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

but a lifeless body!”

As they spoke, they heard footsteps approaching the door.

They turned around and saw Neil entering. Upon spotting Daniella, he put on a cold expression. 1

Directly addressing Grayson, Neil spoke, “Grandpa, I need to talk to you.”

Grayson stood up and looked at Daniella. “Take a look at this album, girl. I’ll go upstairs and speak

to Neil.”

Daniella smiled and nodded. As she watched them ascend the stairs, she sat on the sofa, feeling a

sense of panic.

‘Master Xander may not be able to see the truth, but Neil can! If Neil reveals the truth to Master

Xander and it affects him, everything will fall into Caroline’s hands.

‘No! I have to fight for it. I can’t let Caroline seize this opportunity.”

After sitting quietly for a while, she gathered her courage and proceeded upstairs with the photo

album.

Upon reaching the landing on the second floor, she overheard Neil’s words.

“Grandpa, go ahead and get a DNA test if you want to hold onto that belief.”

“A DNA test?‘

Daniella’s face turned pale as a ghost in an instant.

If it was discovered that she wasn’t truly Grayson’s granddaughter, she would lose everything.

Feeling a surge of panic, she thought of Caroline.

Taking a deep breath, she realized that she had no choice but to take a risk and assume that

Caroline was indeed a Xander.
