The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 312

Lauriel then told his son and daughter-in-law and Mischa and Altair about what he heard from Vega while they were on their way from Targu Mures to Almstad. He saw how Vega seemed to be trying hard to look brave, but her eyes were full of sorrow and worry.

“Vega is very intelligent. She is also compassionate and wise. I think she will make the best decision,” said Lauriel, as he ended his explanation.

Aleksis pressed her chest with both hands and sobbed. Oh, her poor, poor daughter …

Vega didn’t deserve all this pain…

Mischa glanced toward the room at the end of the hall where Vega was talking to Ren. His blue eyes were filled with grief.

Ah, Vega …

***

ONE YEAR LATER

.

The singing from inside the house sounded enchanting. The song was actually very simple, but because the voice singing it was so melodious, anyone who heard it would stop whatever they were doing and listen.

The two gardeners who were tending the rose garden looked at each other and smiled.

“Looks like Young Miss is in a very good mood today,” commented Albert, the older gardener, to his co-worker. “She always sings so well, but you can tell when she is especially happy.”

“You are right. I think she is excited about the trip. If I’m not mistaken, Anne said that today the Young Master and the Young Miss will be traveling,” said John. He was close to all the maids in the mansion and always kept up with the latest news from their employer’s children.

“Oh, is that so?”

“Anne said that Young Master will surprise his girlfriend.”

“By the way, Miss JM hasn’t been here for a long time,” said Albert again.

“Well, she is now very famous and busy. This week she will perform in the summer fashion week in Paris. Young Master will take his twin sister there to watch Miss JM’s fashion show,” John explained.

“Ahh .. they will have a lot of fun in Paris.”

“Of course. Anne also said that Young Master will invite Young Miss and Miss JM to go sailing after the fashion show is over.”

“Wow .. you seem to know everything, eh?”

“Hehehehe .. that’s why you have to hang out with the girls inside,” said John with a laugh. “They know everything.”

There was ten live-in staff at the Linden’s mansion in Manhattan. Three female servants worked in the kitchen and took care of housekeeping. There was also one butler, two gardeners, a pool maintenance guy, a technician, and two drivers.

In addition, the Lindens also had a security team on duty to secure this house day and night. The total number of people working there was around 20 people.

Since Albert had worked for the Linden family for a long time, he knew that, previously, their master didn’t like it if they had too many people working in his house.

He only limited a maximum of three people to employ for tasks that really couldn’t be taken over by machines or computers.

However, now slowly, their master became more flexible. He understood that his wife and children would feel more comfortable if they could have more human staff handling their day-to-day lives since they enjoy human interaction.

The boss became even more lenient after the Linden family’s only daughter returned home. Her parents deliberately made the atmosphere at home as comfortable as possible for her.

They then recruited a few additional staff and then tripled the security for the family. This was not without reason.

Miss Vega was kidnapped when she was sixteen and went missing for years. Her family suffered a lot. They looked for her everywhere for six years, until finally, one day she walked through their door and returned.

After Vega went home, Mr. and Mrs. Linden made sure that the incident would NEVER happen again.

Now, wherever she went, there would always be bodyguards watching her both openly and secretly. Super close supervision was also given to the Linden’s two youngest sons, namely Ireland and Scotland.

The two boys were home-schooled for safety reasons. However, they could still travel everywhere with their cousins ​​or friends, but there will always be groups of bodyguards protecting them secretly.

After he saw how strict was the life led by the world’s wealthiest family’s children, John felt grateful that he was born into an ordinary family that didn’t have to constantly worry about bad people or his family’s enemies of his family who want to be mean to him.

“Good afternoon, John, Albert. It’s sunny today, isn’t it?”

The sweet voice stirred John’s daydream. He immediately turned his head toward the voice. He saw a beautiful girl with platinum hair waving at him and Albert from the front of the mansion door.

“Hi, Miss! That’s right, the weather is beautiful …” John and Albert waved back.

They then saw Altaïr exiting the door and nodding at them. The two of them nodded back. Ah, their young master is cooler than the young miss, his twin sister. Even though their faces were very similar, their personalities were very different.

Miss Vega was friendly, cheerful, and very warm, just like her mother. Meanwhile, Altaïr seemed to take after his father’s quiet and aloof personality.

However, even though he was aloof, the staff in this mansion knew that Young Master Altaïr was very kind, just like Miss Vega. And one thing was for sure, he really loved his twin sister.

It’s been a year since Miss Vega came back. Not a day had Altaïr went far away from her. The man preferred to stay at home and spend time with his sister rather than traveling to other places.

Even if he went to another city or abroad to attend his girlfriend’s shows or for business, he would always take Vega with him. Like today, for example. He invited Vega to come with him to Paris because he wanted to show support for JM.

“I have a surprise for you in Paris,” Altair said as they got into the backseat of their family’s luxury car. Harris, Altair’s private driver, closed the car door and immediately drove the vehicle to the airport.

“Really? What surprise?” asked Vega curiously.

Today she looked so beautiful and fresh. Her body, which was emaciated last year from deep stress, had now returned to her slim and healthy form. Her face now was always decorated with smiles. Her brown eyes twinkled when she spoke and charmed everyone who saw her.

Ahh, Altaïr would never get tired of seeing his sister’s smiling face. He was delighted because Vega seemed to have returned to her old self.

Since the events in Almstad last year, they had seen Vega slowly recovering and becoming like the Vega they used to know.

She underwent prolonged therapy with ongoing support from her family.

Now, if they saw how happy she was, they can almost forget about the bad events that befell her in the past.

“It’s a secret, but I am sure you will like it,” said Altair, smiling broadly.

He had prepared a surprise in Paris, which he was sure would make Vega feel so moved. According to him, this was important for Vega to be able to fully recover.

They had taken Vega around the world and explored all the places she had visited since she was a child to make her get used to her life as Vega.

When Vega was kidnapped, her kidnappers tortured her, suppressed her memory and planted false memories, then gave her another person’s identity.

Even though Lauriel had given her the best potions to restore her memory and also used hypnotherapy, they still could not restore the girl’s memory a hundred percent.

Therefore they spent the past year helping Vega recover her memory and identity. Altair wanted to take Vega back to Paris, where all those events started, and finish the process there.

He had invited Vega’s old school friends to come to Paris, of course, all at the Linden family’s expense. He would make it some kind of reunion so that Vega could meet her old friends and exchanged news. She knew Vega missed them a lot.

Tatiana, her best friend in high school, still posted about Vega from time to time, asking her millions of followers to open their eyes and ears to look for Vega, especially on July 25 when Vega was kidnapped.

According to Altair, for Vega to close this dark episode in her life, she must return to the moment where it all started.. For this reason, he made JM’s fashion show in Paris, this time as an excuse to bring Vega there.
