Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: This Life, She Takes the Initiative

On top is a file.

Each file has a person's photograph and biography.

And the first person to appear is her father, Ian Grant.

This greatly surprised South Grant.

No, that's not right.

That's not Father.

Because the name on top isn't Father's name.

That person is named Evan Osborne, and the photograph above is quite young, likely from his student days.

His features are distinct, his eyes deep, although Ian Grant has been dead for seven years, South Grant remembers his appearance, there is a big difference from the impression she had of her father.

But if he is not her father, then why does that face have an eighty percent resemblance?

South Grant doesn't know where the problem lies.

She continues flipping through, the second man who appears looks a bit familiar, yet South Grant can't recall who he is.

She keeps looking, while seeing Evan Osborne, whose resemblance to her father shocked her, the third photograph stunned her.

Because the third photo is of her mother!

The mother who vanished seven years ago.

But the records indicate she disappeared eighteen years ago.

Is there a connection in between?

Whose USB drive is this?

Why is it with her?

Does her father's death and mother's disappearance have anything to do with this USB drive?

All the mysteries swirl in South Grant's mind, she can't fathom the connection.

She keeps flipping through, and when she sees the person behind, South Grant is so shocked she can't utter a sound.

It's Nathan Foster.

It's actually Nathan Foster!

From the time she woke up until now, the only people she's interacted with are Nathan Foster and that chubby guy.

This USB belongs to Nathan Foster!

What's the relationship between Nathan Foster and her parents?

Why does he have all this information on his USB drive?

Moreover, South Grant discovers that the photo is of her mother, but the name is not.

The photo looks like her father, yet there are some differences.

South Grant couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

The more South Grant looks, the deeper her doubts grow.

She closes her eyes, leaning back on the chair behind her.

She always thought Nathan Foster rescued her from prison in her past life for that one-night stand.

But thinking about it now, it's far more complicated.

Did her past entrapment by Nathan Foster have to do with this USB drive?

South Grant cannot understand.

But there is one thing she knows, Nathan Foster perhaps knows something about her father's death and mother's disappearance!

South Grant opened her eyes.

The European-style chandelier above the room refracts dazzling light, the room's icy elements displaying their splendor without understanding sorrow.

South Grant removed the USB from the computer, smashed it with something, ensuring it couldn't be repaired, then tossed it into the trash bin.

She stood up, positioned herself at the window.

She had intended the first thing to do in this life was to distance herself from Nathan Foster.

Now, she's changed her mind.

She wants to approach Nathan Foster.

Completely different from the passive approach in her past life.

This time, she will be proactive.

She wants to know the truth she didn't comprehend in her past life.

She wants to uncover the truth behind her father's death and mother's disappearance.

Why is the photograph clearly of her mother, yet the name is entirely unfamiliar?

All these questions await her discovery.

...

Though both in Aethelgard, South Grant has zero chances of meeting Nathan Foster.

The Grant Family is an entertainment family, at the pinnacle of the entertainment world.

But the gap between The Grant Family and The Foster Family is significant.

The Foster Family, being a military and political family, has no need to interact with these business circles.

So, to approach Nathan Foster, effort is inevitable.

Due to the inconvenient status in her previous life, South Grant rarely made friends, fearing her identity would be exposed.

But there was one person South Grant trusted the most.

Young boys and girls will have budding feelings, an innocent affection.

And that person was South Grant's secret admiration.

However, that secret crush was long buried due to a year in prison and a decade as Nathan Foster's mistress.

This time South Grant approached him because he could connect to the Foster Family.
