Chapter 313 A familiar figure
“Don’t you know her?” Natalie looked at Tory, waiting for his answer.
“I seem to have heard of this name, but she is not one of our family.”
“You heard of this name?” Natalie nodded thoughtfully. Since uncle had heard of Niki’s name, then Niki didn’t lie
about it.
“Wait a second.”
“Last time I went to the Graham Private Hospital, was the girl in Mr. Graham’s ward called Niki Linch?”
Natalie raised her eyebrows with great interest.
“Because her name also begins with ‘N’, so I was deeply impressed and remembered her name.”
“That girl has a fair skin, looking quite easy-going,” Tory squinted his eyes and tried to recall the scene that day.
Tory’s words reminded Natalie of what had happened in the hospital that day, “you have a good memory, uncle. That girl is indeed Niki Linch.”
Tory grinned proudly, “It seems I’m not old yet. I indeed have a good memory.”
Natalie smiled and nodded.
“Did Niki say she belongs to the Spears Family?” Tory straightened his face and asked.
“Yes.”
“Well, that’s so strange. There is no one named Niki in our family.”
So Niki lied??
How could Niki spend all day deceiving others under the name of the Spears Family?
What if she tarnishes the reputation of the Spears Family?
“Is it possible that Niki is a distant relation?” The number of people in the Spears Family was not very large, but after
counting the distant relations, the number had significantly increased. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Um… it’s possible.” Tory nodded, “but there are too many distant relatives. I can’t remember them all.”
Natalie nodded thoughtfully.
“But why do you want to inquire about this girl, Nana?”
“Well… it’s that she has something to do with Lara.”
She had planned to go to the Spears Family’s ancestral hall to look into Nild’s identity.
“She knows Lara… Did she also participate in the exchange meeting?” Tory knew his niece well, he could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
He keenly smelled something unusual among Natalie’s words.
“Well…” Natalie hesitated for a moment before finally losing out under Tory’s sharp eyes, “she indeed participated in the meeting. But I am still investigating it. I’m wondering if she is the mastermind.”
Tory locked his eyes with Natalie, her gaze was calm and composed as if nothing could leave a mark in them.
Tory knew that Nana could be able to handle it.
He nodded reassuringly.
“If you need any help, just let me know!” Tory patted Natalie on the shoulder.
Julian and Niki took a plane for nearly a night and finally arrived in New York at dawn.
Niki walked off the plane with bleary eyes, followed closely by two bodyguards, holding her luggage.
She casually looked up at the sky.
In the distance were the rosy clouds, and a golden ray of sunshine slowly appeared in the hazy sky.
Niki turned to look at Julian and said, “look! The sky is so beautiful!”
Julian followed her fingers and saw the brilliant morning light. He pursed his lips and nodded in silence.
“Shall we take a break here first?”
Such a beautiful scenery, such a full romantic atmosphere, she could take advantage of it to get on Julian’s good side.
Unexpectedly, Julian frowned and said, “Let’s go.”
All he wanted now was to find the Spears Family and ask the divine doctor to treat his grandpa.
There was not much time left for him since grandpa was desperately ill.
He must hurry up.
Niki rubbed her numb legs and silently followed behind him.
Wasn’t Julian tired? She was run down by a whole night’s flight to New York! Why didn’t Julian care for her at all!
Nild couldn’t help but think of her past with him.
Streams of cars were belting along the road, the sun shone on the sea and the waves danced and sparkled. At the highest building of the city, she and Julian nestle together to enjoy the sunset,
How sweet they were at that time.

When she felt tired, she could enjoy Julian’s meticulous care; When she was unhappy, he would comfort her and make her laugh.
But now… Niki couldn’t help but shake her head.
She finally understood now.
Love was tangible.
Love was reflected in every detail of life.
Niki followed Julian, silently muttering in her heart. Unexpectedly, he stopped and she bumped her head into him.
She covered her head and let out a gasp.
Julian turned around. Niki looked up at his broad shoulders and handsome face.
Did Julian hear her voice and couldn’t bear to let her bustle around?
“Julian…” a glimmer of hope flashed in her heart.
“You lead the way,” Julian said expressionlessly.
As his words fell, a sapphire blue sports car stopped in front of them, the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground resounded.
The driver got off the car and bowed to Julian, “sir.”
Julian nodded casually to the driver, then turned his head to Niki.
“Okay…” Niki’s tone was heavy with upset, she thought that Julian noticed her fatigue.
“What’s the matter, Niki?” Julian raised his eyebrows and asked, seemingly unable to understand what Niki was thinking.
She suppressed her emotion and shook her head hard, saying, “no, I’m fine.”
The car drove from dawn to noon, from the city center to the wilderness, and the further forward, the fewer people they could see.
“Are you sure the routine is right?” Julian looked at the scenery outside the window, his expression gradually tense.
There was no one around.
Niki scrutinized the surrounding scenery, feeling a bit unsure. “I guess it’s right…”
Actually, she only came here once or twice when she was a child. She didn’t know either whether the routine based on her previous impression was right.
Now with fewer and fewer people at sight, Niki could only pretend to be calm.

Julian glanced at Niki, her uneasy state ignited his suspect.
He was still emotionless, his slender fingers curled together, and blue veins stood out on the back of his hands.
The oppressive silence was like a big palm grasping Niki’s heart tightly, making her unable to breathe.
After driving for about half an hour, a huge building came into their sights.
The building was extremely grand, and from top to bottom, the first eye-catching thing was the yellow glazed tile roof. The top was spread out in all directions, overlapping layers after layers, appearing exceptionally majestic in the midday sun.
“Here we are!”
Niki was over the moon: she had a good memory!
This building was just the same as she remembered!
Julian looked up; his eyes gradually gloomy.
Noble as he was, he had never seen such a magnificent building… It was more like a scenic spot than a residence.
The Spears Family truly deserved its reputation.
The driver parked the car at the main entrance of the building.
Just as the two of them were preparing to get off the car, Niki saw a familiar figure.
She squinted her eyes to see who it was.
The woman standing not far from the gate of the building looked like Natalie?!
She didn’t make it wrong; it must be Natalie! But how could she be here?
