Translator: 549690339

Baron Stuart walked past the mother and daughter with a blank expression, heading towards the staircase entrance.

When he passed by Bella Stuart, she clearly saw the thin string in her brother’s hand, with the mandarin duck stone hanging at the end.

‘ Did Brother go to look for the mandarin duck stone? But, he said he threw it away, right?

Huh? Could it be that it was thrown into that trash can? But if he decided to throw it away, why did he go back and find it again?

A series of questions flashed in Bella Stuart’s mind.

With Adrian Nash’s introduction, Emily Walker and her brother Wallace Carter successfully joined the bridal photography company. As he said, being an assistant wasn’t very difficult. Perhaps because of Adrian’s connections, Emily and Wallace were treated well at the company.

Emily saw other assistants scolded and punished daily, but she and her brother didn’t have to face that.

The bridal photography company had good perks; the best being a monthly housing allowance.

This meant a 1,000 USD monthly supplement, half the normal rent cost.

Emily and Wallace received a combined 2,000 USD allowance every month. Emily was initially doubtful about this, but later learned from her colleagues that the company did indeed offer such benefits.

With the extra allowance, Emily and Wallace rented a two-room, one-hall apartment for 3,000 USD a month, leaving them to pay only 1,000 USD each month.

Life had finally settled down.

One day after work, Emily thought it was time for her brother to have a proper set of clothes since getting discharged from the hospital. Seeing other assistants dressed well, she decided to take him shopping that evening.

Not having dinner together, the two hurried to Pedestrian Street to buy clothes.

“Wallace, what do you want for dinner tonight?” Emily felt guilty for not knowing how to cook. Unable to make her brother’s favorite dishes, she could only prepare instant noodles.

Wallace smiled, “I am fine with anything, as long as Sister has it.”

He would always say that. Although Emily felt grateful, she couldn’t help but think she wasn’t taking care of him properly.

“Sister, let’s not buy clothes for me right now. We can buy them once we get our salary.” Wallace was worried their living expenses wouldn’t be enough, as they hadn’t yet received their salaries.

But Emily smiled and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have any decent clothes yet.”

After trying on different options in various shops, they finally bought Wallace a decent casual shirt and pants, which cost just over 380 yuan.

By the time they finished shopping, it was already 7 PM. Since it was summer, the sky hadn’t darkened yet.

On their way past a supermarket, they still hadn’t had dinner. As usual, Emily could only buy instant noodles to cook and eat.

“Are you tired of eating this?” After leaving the supermarket, Emily looked at her brother and asked with a smile.

“No!” Wallace replied with a smile.

Emily smiled, thinking her brother had become much more understanding.

Just as they were about to leave Pedestrian Street, they ran into Bella Stuart.

Noticing a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, Bella paused, turned around, and stared at the familiar silhouette.

Wasn’t that… ?

“Emily!” Bella Stuart wasn’t sure, but she called Emily’s name anyway.

Hearing her name, Emily stopped and looked back with confusion.

“It really is you!” As soon as she saw Emily, Bella walked over and looked her up and down.
