Chapter 981 Thanks To Sally

What he said was a play on words as it had a double meaning.

He was smart and often let his actions speak for him. Gentleness and silence was his usual demeanor and he often spoke with few words.

Looking at him, Carla suddenly burst into laughter. She wiped away her tears and wrapped her arms around his neck. "All right, you're so unique and irreplaceable. I could never find anyone else like you.

My mother is going to Wang Village to comply to an etiquette ritual of Yu Sea City. I want to go there and see it for myself..."

Terence nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Although he wanted to tell Carla that they really couldn't do anything to help her mother, he decided not to as he knew that no matter what he said, Carla would still want to go.

However when they finally arrived at Wang Village, they realized that they were already too late.

Andrea had left long before dawn to perform the etiquette ritual. Before Carla could even get there, Andrea had already gone halfway.

"Mom! Mom!"

"Carla, don't get too close."

Terence grabbed Carla's hand and pulled her back into his arms. "It's useless for you to go after her. Your grandmother gave her this punishment for a reason. She can use this opportunity to atone for her sins."

Nobody could help her and nobody could do it for her.

Carla watched Andrea walk up step by step. Even though she was exhausted, she didn't give up.

Then Carla looked at the tall and white palace at the top of the steps. She figured that her grandmother must be somewhere in the palace.

She wondered if the queen would even be concerned or bothered if she saw her daughter like this. She wondered if her grandmother was truly heartless.

At this moment, on the top of the mountain.

Someone else was just as worried about Andrea as Carla.

Arthur stood inside the tall tower and looked down at Andrea, who was coming up step by step. His eyes were filled with tears.

No one could understand the pain he was feeling in his heart as a father.

He wanted to take his daughter's pain and make it his own. He hadn't seen her in over 30 years and this was his first time seeing her again since then—being tortured.

Eleanor stood next

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

earing this, Arthur lit up. With such urgency, he ordered, "Hurry! Go and bring them here! Let them come up right away!"

He heaved a sigh of relief. Despite not having met Sally yet, he could already tell that he was going to like her very much.

Thanks to Sally, Andrea didn't need to suffer anymore.

At the foot of the mountain, Carla was looking through her telescope when she saw a figure approach her mother and daughter. Needless to say, she was overjoyed.

"Terence! Look! Grandma finally showed some mercy!"

Upon noticing this, Terence beamed. "Well, blood is thicker than water. After all, that's her daughter and great granddaughter. I bet she didn't have the heart to see them suffer like that."

Carla turned to him and said, "Wait, so this is because of Sally?"

"Of course! Sally definitely helped a lot. Her great grandmother had her servant let them come up to the mountain directly, not long after Sally joined Mom,"

Terence said with a smile, raising his eyebrows. Putting his arm around Carla's shoulders, he added, "Let's go. The next thing is going to be among the elders. We should enjoy the view while we can."

"But Sally..."

Carla said with concern.

"Don't worry. Her grandma and great grandma will take care of her."

Terence seemed unfazed. He held Carla in his arms as they got in the car.

Sometimes, it was the young ones who could help the most. Maybe Sally could help them resolve their long-standing issues as well.
