234 A nobody like her (2/2)

”I heard you claimed you are my relatives?” Jason cocked an eyebrow. There was no friendliness tone in his voice. Before he could confirm their claim, he would take whatever they said with a grain of salt.

”Yes... yes... We are your relatives. I am Uncle Cheng and this is your Aunty Min,” the elder man nodded his head quickly. Then, he gestured for his children, ”Your cousin Ella and Tank.”

The girl blushed shyly when Jason's eyes landed on her. But his eyes quickly looked at the boy sitting next to her before Jason looked back at the couple.

”Which part of the family you come from? Why I haven't heard of you before?” he asked.

As he finished the question, the family of four started to cry and stammer. Even the girl was wailing hard.

Jason winced. This was a joke, right? He had no time to deal with this.

He gestured for the butler to approach and he obeyed.

”Call my parents to return now,” he ordered. Even if he made a call to his parents, they would not be able to give a proper answer before they could see face to face with the family to confirm their claim. Better to call them to come back quickly to deal with this.

At the airport on the same morning...

”If anything happens, call me,” Mei Li reminded when Ryn leaned forward to look at her in the car.

”Of course I will call you. Don't worry. Go work on Harry,” Ryn chuckled seeing the worried look in Mei Li's face. It was as if she was a mother worrying over the daughter who will move away.

”Don't forget. Bye,” Mei Li said.

”Bye,” Ryn waved and closed the door. Then, she stepped back and watched as Mei Li's car leaving the departure gate.

Time to go now, her heart muttered. She adjusted the cap on her head and the sunglasses. Despite her being relatively low profile when travelling, some people did notice her. She used one of the machines to check-in and then headed straight to get through the security to the departure halls.

”Catherine?” Irene's eyes widened when she saw a familiar woman pulling a bag toward the departure halls.

She and her family were on the way to Paris, France for a short vacation. She did not even expect to even meet her enemy in the airport.

”Irene dear, what's wrong? Are you in pain anywhere?” an elder woman came and asked her worriedly. The woman was her mother and she, being the youngest, was the apple of the family's eyes.

And when she signed a contract as a model, her whole family was so happy her father gave her a new sports car, her mother gave her a new set of Cartier jewellery, her big brother gave her a whole collection of the latest 'G' dresses and her two sisters gave her lingerie from VS each.

All of them even attended her first show to give her support.

But her proud moment, the feeling of being on top of the whole world was diminished by that woman.

Irene's eyes narrowed. She would not let her spot as the best supermodel in the whole world being challenged by a nobody like Catherine.

Who was she by the way? Just a daughter of God knew who, came from God knew who. She did not even own a car and came to class either by bus or depending on her own manager. It was clear she was a nobody.

Irene scoffed.

Regardless of what Catherine did in the past to make those brands rushed to work with her, now with Irene here, those brands would come to her. Soon enough, they all would forget the name Catherine and only remember the name Irene, the most famous supermodel in the whole world.

”It's time for us to leave. Let's go,” her big brother announced. He pushed the trolley full with their bags toward the departing halls with the others followed.

Ryn, unaware of Irene being in the same airport as hers, quickly headed to Starbucks to eat. She was starving and wanted to eat while waiting for her flight to arrive. It was two hours before the departure time and she had a lot of time to eat and sleep.

She checked her phone while sucking her Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee happily. It seemed like she forgot to post a photo for the day in her IG account. She quickly took a photo of her second breakfast of the day and posted it online. Then, she put it down and enjoyed her sausage and eggs croissant and also banana chocolate muffin. Once she was done, she stood up and bought herself another banana chocolate muffin and sugared doughnuts.
