Julia Rossi also walked over and nodded. "Yes, Mom, you’ve been so troubled this whole ti, and it’s not good for your health. Try to relax a little. Haven’t we sent so many people to look for her?"
Marco sighed deeply. When he was younger, he was busy with work and rarely had ti to spend with his wife. Now, he was finally able to hand over the company to Leon and thought they could enjoy their later years together. However, his wife was always stressed over finding her long-lost sister, not being able to eat or sleep well. This worried him greatly.
As for the news of his sister-in-law, it was as if it had vanished into thin air. He suspected that she might already be deceased, but saying this would only shatter Isabella’s last hopes.
It would be difficult to find soone with just an old childhood photo. After all, people change a lot over eighteen years, and they might not even have any resemblance to their old selves left.
Isabella pressed her lips together, rubbed her aching temples as she sighed.
"I know what you’re all saying, but I can’t help thinking about it. I’ve also been having nightmares lately."
The doctor said she was going through a heart issue, and the dication had not been helping.
Julia sat next to Isabella affectionately. "Mom, just let it be. It’s not good to stay at ho worrying all the ti. Why don’t we take a holiday and relax a bit?"
Marco imdiately exclaid, "Our daughter’s showing concern? The sun must be rising in the west! Aren’t you camping outside Harper Group every day to see President Harper?"
"And now you say you’re inviting your mom on vacation? Have you given up?"
Julia pouted with displeasure. "Of course I haven’t given up! But you can’t chase soone too tightly; you have to relax a bit. Taking my beloved mother on vacation now is better, right?"
With that, Julia winked at Isabella.
Isabella was amused by her daughter’s cheekiness and smiled helplessly. "You chatter on and on about Kevin, and now you finally have ti to care about your mom?"
Julia hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, why are you saying that too?"
"A trip to unwind isn’t bad, is it? Who knows, we might experience a miracle and et your long-lost sister."
Upon thinking this, Isabella frowned more deeply. "It’s been so many years; I don’t even know if I can recognize her. Okay, let’s stop thinking about this. Let’s just go on a holiday and relax."
Not wanting to spoil the mood, Isabella agreed with Julia’s advice.
Seeing his wife in better spirits, Marco felt happy as well. However, he received a ssage from Leon that made his mood sour in an instant. He angrily yelled, "Julia! Your brother said you ran into soone today while chasing Kevin, and you even ran off after that. Is it true?"
On the other hand, Leon was also furious. If it weren’t for Kevin informing him about this, he wouldn’t have found out Julia had done such a thing. He needed to assign more people to keep her at ho next ti.
Julia imdiately realized that it must have been Kevin who had tattled!
Her crush had a surprising side; this made her like him even more.
Before she could collect herself, she had already been hit on the head.
"Julia, I am talking to you!" Marco shouted in anger. Such behavior was unacceptable in their family.
Isabella also frowned, "Julia, is what your dad said true?"
Although she doted on her daughter, she could still differentiate right from wrong.
Julia rubbed her head, feeling wronged. "Let explain—it was an accident today. I was so focused on trying to et Kevin and didn’t notice that I had run into her. I gave her my card to contact and even offered to take her to the hospital, but she was the one who refused."
"She refused you?" Isabella roughly understood the situation and turned to the fuming Marco. "Don’t be too angry. Julia did try to make up for it after realizing she had collided with soone. Just be more careful next ti. Was she hurt?"
Julia recalled, "Not much; just a twisted ankle. I suggested sending her to the hospital right away, but she didn’t want to and told not to worry. Her friend eventually took her away."
Hearing this, Marco’s expression turned serious. "You had better pray she doesn’t suddenly co back claiming huge compensation over her injuries—you will learn your lesson by then."

"No way, she didn’t seem like that kind of person! Also, I found sothing a bit strange; talking to her felt like I had known her forever. She was really nice to ," Julia imdiately defended. "And get this: she’s the sa person who was on the news, the granddaughter they called unfilial."
Isabella was surprised. "What a coincidence! You both were fated to et. However, I’m more curious that you actually found soone you could chat with. That’s a rare occurrence."
"Mom!" Julia pouted. "Those people are the problem, not . And she even wished success in pursuing Kevin!"
Julia seed to always lose her bearings at the ntion of Kevin, and Isabella felt quite helpless about her daughter’s condition.
Still, if he could really beco their son-in-law, she would be very supportive.
After all, his excellence was well-known, and the Harper family’s values greatly satisfied Isabella. If they could unite, it would be a strong alliance beneficial for business.
Most importantly, the n of the Harper family were all dependable.
"What is the na of your new friend? Since you hit it off and have such a connection, make sure to maintain the friendship and don’t act like a spoiled princess."
"Her na is Jessie, but we just t, so we will get closer eventually. Besides, I don’t know if she will contact ." Julia thought that since she found Jessie so pleasant and nice to talk to, she would contact Jessie herself if she hadn’t reached out first.
Julia had always been a straightforward person; if she wanted to do sothing, she would just go for it, just like her approach with Kevin. She wanted him to feel her affection.
Keeping her feelings bottled up inside would just be too painful.
On the other hand, Jessie was busy in the shop when she heard so noise outside. She wasn’t interested in the commotion, but Lilian was curious and ran out.
When she returned, Jessie saw the puzzled look on Lilian’s face.
"What happened?" She asked curiously.
"Jessie, I think your relatives are here and looking for you now."
