NOVPUBChapter 922: 444 Missing_2 Chapter 922: 444 Missing_2 The stance of the Blood Plum Blossom truly resembled a young lady gazing towards Phoenix Mountain.
Hellena admired, “Miss Alexa, you know so much.”
Alexa Gatten said with a laugh, “I learned a lot when I was studying art.
I used to collect the breath of Phoenix Mountain, and I heard lots of Phoenix Mountain’s legends from the villagers there.”
Phoenix Mountain had hundreds of years of history and was rumored to have been a villa of some princess in ancient times.
Dreamy Villa was inspired from the Dreamy Marsh recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
It was said that this was the land where the mythological bird rested for eternity.
The villa was privately owned and unapproachable for everyone, providing an inaccessible beauty until it fell into Digby Hart’s hands.
When Digby Hart gave it to Aubree Groove, everyone finally had the chance to fully appreciate its beauty.
...
Madam Elijah sighed, “This view, it’s so touching.”
The Red Plum Blossoms on the jade bridge were fluttering in the wind under the sun, drawing lines of colorful shadows in the air.
Aubree Groove opened her palm, and a petal landed delicately on it.
Her skin seemed exceptionally delicate and white against the vivid color of the petal—a huge color impact that stirred the hearts of many.
Combined with the heart-wrenching stories earlier, a light melancholy lingered around that was hard to shake off.
“Aubree, there’s a hot spring on the mountain.” Hellena gripped Aubree’s sleeve, her innocent, giant eyes blinking at her.
Aubree laughed helplessly, “You’re such a little thief.”
She raised her head to look at Madam Elijah, “Madam, if you have no plans tonight, why don’t you join me for a visit to the mountain?
It would be good for your health to soak in the hot spring.”
The moment Madam Elijah heard the words ‘hot spring,’ she was interested.
She was too shy to ask directly, but when she heard that Aubree was inviting her, she felt nothing but joy and readily agreed.
“Madam Gatten…”
Before Aubree could finish her sentence, Madam Gatten quickly replied, “I’m going.”
She seemed afraid that even a second of hesitation would cause Aubree to refuse.
Alexa Gatten gave a little cough, “Aubree!”
Aubree just laughed and said, “Let’s all go together.”
Even Alexa, who appeared reserved in nature, could not hide her joyful smile, “That’s great.
Thank you, Aubree.”
Many people have longed to bathe in the hot spring of Phoenix Mountain, but few have had the opportunity.
“Aunt Aubree, can I come along too?” said a voice, which instantly darkened Alexa’s face.
She turned her head and found Silvia Hayes, who had approached without being noticed.
Alexa was unsure how much Silvia had heard of the conversation.
Silvia used to be so arrogant that all the other ladies in Pethkids had to stay out of her way.
Now listening to her calling Aubree ‘Aunt’ in all seriousness, the scene seemed rather hilarious.
The difference between her and the rest of the Rintos was substantial.
Oh, but of course, she was a Hayes, not a Rinto.
Upon seeing Silvia Hayes, Madame Elijah instinctively furrowed her brows.
She did not have a good impression of Silvia, and her mother, Guele Rinto, was even worse.
Guele Rinto indirectly offended her a long time ago.
Although this was now in the past, and she was not one to hold grudges, she simply didn’t have a positive perception of this mother-daughter pair.
Aubree glanced at her and nodded with a smile, “Of course.”
Hellena puckered her lips like she could hang an oil lamp on them.
This niece of Aubree was truly annoying.
She didn’t think that was unknown that Silvia’s mother, Aubree’s cousin, had often schemed against Aubree behind her back.
Hellena was sure that Silvia had some nasty plans for sticking around Aubree this time.
Silvia Hayes squeezed herself between Aubree Groove and Alexa Gatten, and naturally stood next to Aubree.
She smiled and nodded to Madam Elijah, appearing quite well-mannered.
Madam Elijah turned and started to walk, leading the way.
“Alexa”.
Alexa obediently went over, and Madam Elijah slipped her arm into Alexa’s and asked, “What did you study in university?”
“Broadcasting and Hosting.”
Madam Elijah’s eyebrows quirked with interest, “So plan to be a host or a news anchor in the future?”
Alexa shook her head, laughing, “That’s hard to tell.
But my dream is to become a journalist at a television station.”
She looked beautiful when she smiled, with bright and confident eyes.
Madam Elijah nodded, satisfied, “Ah, to be young.”
Hellena suddenly pushed her way through to the front, and with a twist of her body, she pushed Silvia Hayes aside.
If it wasn’t for Silvia’s quick reflexes, she would have fallen flat on her face.
Silvia gnashed her teeth, hiding her displeasure.
Raising her head, she swiftly changed it to a smile.
“You’re Hellena, right?”
Hellena stood tall in front of Aubree, with her hands crossed over her chest, chin slightly raised; despite being so young, her airs were quite imposing.
“You are my aunt’s niece, so according to seniority, you should not be addressing me by my name.
It’s a little impolite.”
Silvia Hayes’s face turned stormy with rage.
This bratty girl was a real menace.
“Is that so?
What should I call you then?”
Titi Groove cleared her throat lightly, hinting to Hellena to go easy on Silvia.
