Chapter 1356
Elaine walked toward the car.
The car drove into the car park. After Lucy parked the car, she came out and closed the door.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Elaine walking toward her.
“It has been a long time, Lucy. It seems like you’re leading a pretty good life. You even have
a new car.”
Lucy did not expect to run into Elaine here. The smile on her face disappeared. “So? It's not
like I'm spending your family's money.”
Just when she was about to leave, Elaine stopped her. “ It has been three years. You don't
even care about how your mother is living in our house?”
When Elaine talked about her mother, Lucy averted her gaze and fell silent.
When she turned 15, her mother remarried a businessman. Since then, she and her mother
had been living with the Xaviers. She had also acknowledged her stepfather as her father

outsiders.
Her mother was obedient to the man and tried her best to be a good wife. Although Lucy
had become the "daughter" of the Xaviers and her stepfather had paid for her education, he
did not allow her to tell anyone that she was part of the Xaviers. Even her mother was
prohibited from acknowledging that she was her daughter in front of people.
In order to find a good husband for her and save her from the same miserable life as she had, she had organized
the blind date three years ago.
Elaine studied Lucy for a while and approached her. “ Who’s the sugar daddy? You didn’t tell your mother about it,
did you?”
Lucy was stunned, “what?”
Elaine frowned and continued. “This purse cost about $3,000. How could you get so much money if you didn't have
a sugar daddy? Although I’m not your biological sister, and I don’t have an obligation to tell you what’s right or
wrong, you should also think about your mother, right?”
Lucy did not know why Elaine would come to such a conclusion, she did not want her to go back and tell her mother
some nonsense, so she said, “Don't be ridiculous. I bought this purse with the money I earned myself.”
“What kind of job is it?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Lucy flung her aside and went back into the building.
Elaine followed behind her secretly, and she was slightly shocked when she saw her walking toward the branch of
Soul Jewelry.
At the Xavier mansion...
Edward was reading the newspaper in front of the desk while Jenna was making him tea. He flipped through the
newspapers, and then he suddenly thought of something. He put the newspaper on the side and picked up a cup of
tea. “It's been a few years, and I don't think I've heard you mention your daughter again.”
Jenna was momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, “I have been keeping in touch with her privately.”
“You’re her mother. If you have been keeping in touch with her, then you should call her back for dinner once in a
while,” Edward said seriously. He did not want other people to know her identity, but it did not mean he did not

When Elaine returned to the house, she happened to hear the conversation between her father and Jenna. Before
she could say anything, Jenna rose to her feet and said with a smile, “You’re back, Elaine. I’ll go prepare dinner
then.”
When Jenna passed by her, Elaine crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “I saw
your daughter today.”
Jenna was stunned again. However, she did not say anything and went into the kitchen.
Elaine took a look at Jenna and then sat on the couch.
Edward asked her, “If you've seen Lucy, why didn't you ask her to come back for dinner?”
“She’s busy,” Elaine replied.
Edward asked, “What does she do for a living?”
Elaine picked up a cup. She hesitated for a few seconds and replied, “No idea.”
Edward did not press on. He looked at her and said, “ Elaine, if you have time, go mingle
with Mr.
Goldmann and his wife. Becoming their friend will only bring you benefits and no harm.”
