The stranger replied. The guy you met this aftemoon, Alfredo.”

Comelia was surprised. “He wants to see me?”

The stranger nodded, “Yeah, he wants to have a chat You free?”

Alfredo wasn’t exactly fnendly towards Cornelia in the afternoon. He even accused her of being after his assets in front of Grandpa Duran. Cornelia didn’t think anything good would come out of meeting Alfredo privately, but under the current circumstances, she couldn’t easily turn him down, “Alright, I’ll go see him with you”

The stranger said, “Thanks! Please follow me!”

Comelia said, “Emily is in my room. Can I hand him over to his family before I go with you?”

The stranger chuckled, “Ms Stewart, I’ll send someone to get Emily. You just come with me to meet our old man.”

Emily, who had somehow made it to the door, grabbed Cornelia’s clothes, “Nelly, I want to stay with you.”

Comelia was a bit uneasy, “What do you think, sir?”

The stranger said, “If he wants to go, bring him along”

Comelia responded, “Alright.”

Carrying Emily, Cornelia followed the stranger out of the main building. They walked through winding flower paths and ended up in a gazebo. Alfredo was standing there with his back to them, his gaze already on Cornelia.

Holding Emily’s hand, Cornelia approached, “Mr. Duran, you called for me?”

Alfredo glanced at Emily, “Why is Emily here too?”

The stranger explained, “He happened to be with Ms. Stewart. He’s young and doesn’t understand anything, so I let him come along.”

Emily said, “Don’t bully her.”

Alfredo asked, “Who said I’m going to bully her?”

Emily responded, “You look mean.”

Alfredo chuckled, his expression immediately softening. “She’s your uncle’s recognized granddaughter, and part of the Duran family. Why would I bully her?”

Emily said, “That’s good then.”

Alfredo instructed, “You go sit over there. I have some things to discuss with her”

Emily obediently went to sit on the side.

Then Alfredo turned to Cornelia, “Are you a Rosenberg?”

Cornelia nodded, “Yes.”

Alfredo stared at Cornelia, “Your name is Cornelia?”

Cornelia responded, “Yes.”

Alfredo asked, “Why don’t you carry your grandmother’s surname?”

Cornelia retorted, “Are you investigating me?”

Alfredo replied. “My brother suddenly decided to recognize a girl he just met as his granddaughter. I’m a little worried, so I had someone took into your background But don’t worry, I mean no harm. I’m just worried he might be taken advantage of and get hurt.”

Even though he said he meant no harm, Cornelia still felt uneasy about being investigated

She didn’t say anything.

Alfredo continued, “Have you ever considered that Augustine’s affection for you might have a reason?” Comella asked, “What reason?”

Alfredo said, “Have you ever considered that you might actually be his biological granddaughter?”
