She was beautiful and had long legs. Even when she casually sat by the chair and took a nap, she still attracted a lot of attention. Unfortunately, Myrna's hat brim was pressed down very low, almost covering her eyes, so she couldn't see the gazes of others. Even if she noticed, she probably wouldn't pay much attention and wouldn't particularly care.

On the other side of the airport, Luther and Leann also arrived.
Since Stark Realty went bankrupt, the two of them have changed their extravagant lifestyle and started to learn to be frugal. Fortunately, after the company went bankrupt, the Taylor Group did not completely destroy them. Apart from their luxury cars and mansions being frozen, their other assets at home remained untouched. They managed to barely get by by pawning the luxury items they had bought before, but their lives were not as prosperous as before.
But despite their destitution, today Nemmington was coming to pick them up, and Leann, for the first time ever, dressed in her best clothes. She wore a purple fox fur coat and a valuable pearl necklace around her neck. At first glance, she appeared as if she hadn't gone bankrupt, still shining brightly.
The desolation and unease that could be seen in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, however, were a pale that could not be concealed by the luxurious clothing.
Leann and her friends had been waiting at the airport for almost an

hour. She was now frequently checking her watch, with a worried expression on her face, saying, "Why haven't they arrived yet? The plane is about to take off."
"Isn't there still half an hour left?" Luther remained calm compared to her and comforted her in a low voice "Don't worry, since your brother called and said that someone has been sent to pick us up, there will definitely be someone coming. It's no use being anxious. If we can't catch this flight, we can take the next one."
Leann put on makeup, but it couldn't hide her haggard face and significant weight loss. She no longer had the elegant and refined demeanor of a noblewoman she used to have. Instead, she appeared hunched and shriveled. Upon hearing the words, she revealed a bitter expression and said, "Isn't it because I wanted to see Stephie earlier?"
"...Stephie has only called home three times since she went to Nemmington. I haven't seen her in almost a month, I definitely miss her. Don't you miss her?"
Luther furrowed his brow, glared at her, and said irritably, "She is your daughter and she is my daughter too, how could I not care."
Stephanie only called home three times in a month, and each time she hurriedly hung up after a few minutes.
He thought it was useless.
Actually, ever since Stephanie went to Nemmington, he clearly felt that Stephanie's feelings towards them had faded. She often unintentionally showed impatience when speaking, and she believed she was hiding it well, but he noticed it every time. Luther himself had also been struggling in the business world for decades, so how could he not understand the changes in his daughter's mindset.

Compared to places like this, Melcester is pitifully small. She has experienced a bigger and wider world, so it's normal for her to look down on small places.
Just as a father, seeing his daughter gradually becoming cold and distant towards him, with a hint of contempt and dissatisfaction in her eyes, that feeling is like a needle piercing his heart, causing immense pain.
"Stephie is busy with her studies and will be even busier as she has exams coming up. After we moved, you should also control yourself and not keep talking to her endlessly when you get excited. Her grandmother's condition is not good... and you shouldn't tell her about
it either. She's only 18, and telling her wouldn't be of any use. It's better to let her calm down and prepare for her exams. If she can successfully get into Craydon University this time... our family will have turned things around!"
Students from Craydon University were all outstanding!
