Gwendolyn and Linette wandered through the castle, taking in the sights. They were amazed to
discover that some of the paintings inside the rooms were world-renowned works of art.
As an art student, Linette was particularly excited and spent a significant amount of time studying the
paintings.
In contrast, Gwendolyn seemed uninterested and only glanced at them briefly before moving on.
As a result, the ladies decided to part ways. When Gwendolyn arrived on the third floor, she bumped
into Sophia.
She stopped and called out, “Ms. Sanders!”
Sophia was struck by how much Gwendolyn's pretty face resembled her own when she was younger.
However, her face became sorrowful as she remembered her own scarred face.
“Do you like it here, Gwen?” she asked.
Nodding, Gwendolyn replied, “May I take some pictures? My daughter loves castles. I'm sure every
little girl has a princess dream.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was certain that her daughter would be overjoyed to learn that she had visited a castle.
Her mood lifted considerably as she pictured her daughter's delighted looks.
When Sophia saw Gwendolyn's joyful expression, she smiled as well. “Sure, feel free to take photos.
You are welcome to bring your child and stay here whenever you like.”
In truth, Sophia hoped that they could stay in the castle for a long time.
“Thank you, Ms. Sanders. If I have the chance, I'll definitely bring them to visit you,” Gwendolyn
responded with a smile. She then pointed to the side and said, “I'm going to take a video now.”
As Gwendolyn turned to leave, Sophia called out to her. “Gwen...”
The woman turned around with a broad smile on her face. “Yes?” she said sweetly.
“Come with me to my room. I have something to tell you,” Sophia replied.
Gwendolyn followed her into the bedroom, which was spacious and luxuriously decorated. In the center
of the room was a bright red wooden bed with thick bedposts covered in deep red silk curtains.
The room had two large windows, with crimson curtains heavily layered and folded on either side of the
windows. There was a wide-open space outside with blooming flower fields.
It was truly enjoyable to live here.
Sophia raised her hand and gestured. “Feel free to sit wherever you like. Make yourself at home.”
As with Tiffany, Gwendolyn had an odd sense of familiarity and felt quite close to Sophia for some
reason.
Gwendolyn sat on the small couch, waiting for Sophia, who went into the walk-in closet. Soon, the latter
came out with a box in her hand.
She sat next to Gwendolyn and handed her the box before saying, “Gwen, you're the same age as my
daughter. When I see you, I think of her. I wanted to give this to her, but I'll give it to you instead.”
As Gwendolyn was surprised by her words, the former's eyes widened slightly. “Where's your daughter
now?” she asked.
Sophia forced a smile and replied, “She's gone.”
Sweetheart, you are my daughter. I'm your mother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSadly, she could not say her thoughts aloud as she did not want to disturb Gwendolyn's peaceful life.
When Gwendolyn opened the box, she saw a transfer of ownership document for Solstice Group's
shares.
Solstice Group?
She knew that the organization owned shopping malls all over the world, including three malls in
Avenport.
As Gwendolyn read the share transfer agreement document, she exclaimed, “Your daughter is so
lucky, Ms. Sanders!”
With this transfer of equity, she would become the owner of Solstice Group and a billionaire.
Sophia shook her head. “Gwen, it's all yours now. Just think of it as helping me fulfill my wish. Solstice
Group will be yours from now on if you accept it.”
With that amount of money, you can raise your three children comfortably and no longer have to worry
about food and clothing. Nobody can bully you anymore.
Gwendolyn quickly closed the box. It was simply too tempting, but she could not accept it.
Although she used to be preoccupied with money and fantasized about making money every day, she
now desired to make money through her own hard work.
“Ms. Sanders, I can't accept this. It's too valuable,” she said hastily.
