'It's probably nobody but some hypocritical friends or relatives, ' she thought bitterly.

However, looking up at the handsome man in his high-end suit she couldn't help being surprised. She flushed deeply and asked in a low voice, ”Good...good day, sir. Are you coming to see me? I'm so sorry, but I don't think that I know you.”

”No,” he replied in a kind voice, ”You don't know me, but that's okay. I know you, Miss Yilia.”

But I was also lied to by the little bitch! She told me that she was Mr. Jacob's daughter! I believed her, and I took her to Gu Consortium to be reunited with her father. God knows how a little girl could be such a good liar!”
