Chapter 256 What Had Happened Back Then

Woof! Woof! Woof!

As the group reached the red painted gate, a big yellow dog that was guarding the gate barked at them aggressively.

"Good dog!" Lucas grinned at the sight of the dog, yet he hid behind Jazlyn unconsciously.

"Shut up!" Jazlyn yelled while glaring at him. Meanwhile, his neck shrank in embarrassment.

The group had made much noise. A few moments later, a woman came out of the house with a little boy about five or six years old. She poked her head outside and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Aisha hid herself away and covered her face as much as possible with her sunglasses.

Mary unconsciously took a step back. Suddenly, she was unwilling to face the two. 'Is this kid my half-brother? Is this woman my father's new wife?'

"Don't be afraid," William whispered to Mary as he pulled her from behind. He walked up to the woman and said politely, "Hello, we are looking for Jay Lu. May I ask if he lives here?"

The woman stared at the group with scrutinizing eyes and looked at them from head to toe. 'They are well-dressed and they look nice! They don't seem to be the creditors asking for the debt!'

"Who are you?" the woman asked suspiciously.

"We," William paused for a bit and continued, "We have something to ask Jay."

The woman was about to speak again when she noticed Mary behind William. Her eyes lit up suddenly and she exclaimed, "Oh! It's you! Mary?" She pulled the little boy who was hiding behind her, and said with a smile, "You naughty kiddo. Say hi to your sister!"

The little boy opened his mouth timidly and addressed Mary in an almost inaudible voice, "Hi, sister..."

Mary did not know how this woman knew her, but she thought that it was ridiculous to ask. His father's son had grown up but she would rather

trayed her.

"Aisha," said Mary guiltily while holding her hand, "I'm your elder sister. From now on, I will be with you. You are not alone anymore."

"Hey! You were just born a few minutes earlier than I was." Aisha laughed and the two looked at each other as if they were looking at themselves in the mirror. "Besides, I'm stronger and more powerful than you. Let me protect you."

"How powerful are you?" Mary blinked her eyes blankly and asked with a frown.

"Ordinary people can't beat me," Aisha answered. All of a sudden an idea occurred to her and she asked while smiling evilly, "Is William strong? If I fight with him, he will definitely lose!"

"Really?" Mary laughed at the thought of them brawling. "What do you do anyway? As a girl, you are so good at martial arts."

Aisha's eyes under the sunglasses were evasive. The senses of mission and family affection were fighting against each other. Should she tell Mary the truth?

"Why are you silent?" Mary was stunned at her sudden quietness. She thought she had poked Aisha's sensitive side. "I... It's okay. If you don't want to tell me, just forget it."

Aisha stopped abruptly and looked at Mary in the eye. "Actually, there is nothing I can't say. I'm just afraid that you will be shocked if I tell you who I really am. My identity is very special. Those who know me must keep it confidential."

Hearing her words, Mary became more curious and she looked at her questioningly.

Aisha chuckled. She leaned to Mary, and whispered something.

"Ah!" Mary's mouth fell open. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise. "You—"

"Shush!" Aisha blinked mischievously and said, "It's just between you and me. You can't ever tell anyone!"

"Okay!" Still wide-eyed, Mary nodded hard.
