Chapter 32
theveght men all reacted the same way the moment they saw Sharon in her adorable dress, looking even cuter than thay Hel imapred.
They quickly turned their heads and covered their hoses, thinking, ‘Stay calm. I have to stay calm. I can’t be that pather and pet a nosalitanð þan because our sister is too adorable. That would be way too embarrassing.
Joan hurriedly said, “Quick, get some towels and cold water.”
The servants rushed in as the eight men wiped at their noses, blaming their sister’s overwhelming cuteness for the scene.
Sharon caught sight of the commotion and walked over. “You guys okay?”
“We’re fine. Really. It’s just a little hot today,” Wallace remarked as he looked at her. “How did you sleep last night?”
“Pretty well.” Sharon had indeed slept soundly.
Just then, a servant came inside. “Mr. Richard Vance, someone from the Vance Mansion is here. They said they want to see Ms. Vance.”
“Tell them no. Not just any random nobody can see Shari,” Richard rejected them without a second thought.
Joan immediately stepped up. “I’ll handle it. Let me take care of this.” She felt like she had lost face in front of Sharon yesterday and this was her chance to regain some dignity.
Sharon nodded. She wasn’t planning to meet anyone from the Vance family anyway. Roxanne wasn’t someone who would give in that easily, but Sharon had all the time in the world. The ones at the Vance Mansion, on the other hand, did not.
Joan walked straight to the front gate. She looked at Wayne standing outside and said, “Mr. Vance, Ms. Vance was startled yesterday. She didn’t sleep well and just managed to fall asleep this morning.
“We’re all worried about her and don’t want to wake her up. Her brothers left instructions that everything must be done for Ms. Vance’s sake–if there are no conditions, then create them.”
Wayne was speechless, thinking, ‘What do they mean by creating conditions if there aren’t any? Sharon was know they were the ones who busted her out of the parlor. Sharon is perfectly fine.‘
perfectly fine yesterday. Don’t think I don’t
He actually hadn’t wanted to come here at all, but with people flooding Graceville Manor all night, he was about ready to snap.
The bounty post already had over a hundred thousand people involved. If the Vance family didn’t get a handle on it soon, Graceville Manor would become unlivable. Once word got out, the Vance family’s reputation would be destroyed.
The Vance family had spent the whole night in sheer terror, unable to get a wink of sleep.
Wayne thought, ‘But what can I even do now? All we can do is wait. Who would’ve guessed Sharon would be such a tough nut to crack, completely immune to both sweet talk and threats?‘
“Please leave. Ms. Vance is feeling under the weather and she can’t handle any more stress,” Joan said with a cold snort before turning and walking away. She thought, ‘Trying to sweet–talk Ms. Vance? Dream on.‘
After a hearty breakfast, Sharon was in an especially good mood.
Richard suddenly suggested, “Shari, is there anything you want? Or maybe a wish you want to make?”
Wallace added, “Yeah, Shari, just say it. We’ll make it happen for you.”

Martin had come back with hel yesterday.
Richard spoke, in the villa next door. They have their own breakfast setup, and no one would dare mess with them. You can relax.
Sheron remarked, “I’ll go check on them later and take them out for a stroll. I’m gonna head upstairs and change first.
Back in her room upstairs, Sharon logged into the Hunter website and saw that the number of participants on her post had already surpassed one hundred thousand.
A cold glint flashed through her eyes. She was still waiting for the Vance family to show up and apologize.
Justin: [Zero, do you have some kind of beef with the Vance family or what?]
Justin had always felt like there was something messy going on between Zero and the Vance family. After helping Zero find the Crawfords yesterday, she had logged off immediately, and Justin had no idea what went down after that.
Sharon: [Just a little disagreement. Once this is over, I’ll transfer the Hunter Coins to your account.]
Justin: [Deal. You’re such a badass. I’m about to be rich.]
After all, it was a full thousand Hunter Coins.
Justin: [Zero, the Vance family is definitely gonna come after you. Have you thought about what I suggested last time? If you come to Oriston Academy, even they won’t be able to touch you.]
Sharon: [Are you from House of Obsidian?]
Sharon’s sudden question made Justin freeze on the spot. He thought, ‘Crap, I slipped.‘
Sharon: [Well, since we’re being honest, I’m part of Oriston Academy too, but more like one of the scholarship kids. Not even remotely close to those spoiled rich kids.]
Sharon: [What’s the big secret about House of Obsidian?]
Justin: [Can’t spill that yet, but once you get here, the orientation will fill you in on everything. Science and history are actual subjects, you know. We even get tested on them. I swear, I hate those essay questions.]
Sharon suddenly found herself getting curious about House of Obsidian. She wondered, ‘What exactly is House of Obsidian hiding that they’re keeping so tight–lipped about?‘”
Just then, a new pinned post in bold red popped up from the forum admin: [Hey, your mom’s calling you home for dinner.]
The moment Sharon saw the post, she jumped up, her heart pounding.
Joan glanced over, puzzled. “Ms. Vance, is something wrong?”
Sharon answered, “I’m fine. I gotta use the bathroom.” She then hurried off, locking the door behind her. She quickly switched to her old account, and sure enough, a long–awaited message was waiting for her.
The person on the other side had sent: [Boss, we’re back.]
Sharon nearly burst into tears from joy and quickly typed back: [I’m here.]
It had been five years. Five long years she had waited. The universe had finally shown her mercy, letting her find her family and bringing her crew back to her side.

ton, There was a situation, had to twas identities]
Hur partner: [Knew it. No way Something would happen to you. But right now, we’re fat broke. Where’s the key we left with your I wanna check fortune shrank after five years.]
Sharon: Well, i buried it.]
She was a bit embarassed. Before her partner could blow up, she hurried to text back: [It’s been five years with no word from you guys, so I built memorial for you and buried the key there.]
Her partner: [Hold up. So you’re telling me you didn’t manage any of the assets we left you in charge of for five whole years?]
Sharon: Yeah. There’s no point using the money if you guys weren’t around.]
There was a pause on the other end. Then came the reply: [You’re unreal. Do you even know what that key means? That’s a fortune. Whatever, just tell us where you are. We’ll find you first, then deal with everythin
else.]
Sharon smiled as she answered: [I’m in Aerions.]
Her partner: [Aerions, huh? If I remember right, we opened a hotel there. Let’s meet up at our hotel.]
Sharon: [Sounds good. What’s the hotel’s name?]
Her partner: [Pretty sure it’s called Atlantis Hotel.]
Sharon thought, ‘What? Atlantis Hotel? Are you kidding me?‘
Sharon slowly typed back: [What?]
Her partner: [What, the hotel went under or something?]
Sharon: [No, it’s doing great. Why didn’t I know that hotel belongs to us?]
She wondered, ‘That super fancy hotel turns out to be under my name? The world really is full
of
surprises. How fascinating.
Her partner; [You’re the genius who buried the key. What was I expecting?]
Sharon’s crew all thought, ‘Having a badass boss who only knows how to make money but doesn’t know the first thing about managing it is so exhausting.‘
Sharon pressed her lips together, smiling a little. Five years ago, she was young and reckless, running wild with her crew and stacking up wealth like it was nothing. After her partners‘ accident, she had fallen into a slump she couldn’t pull herself out of.
But now, her crew was back. It was time for the old Sharon who used to be bold and cocky to come back too.
She smirked and sent another message: [That hotel has a VIP system, right?]
Her partner: [Yeah, it does.]
Sharon: [Get me eight Super VIP cards.]
