A week later, a line of Miracle rolled up one after another to the Carter villa. With the villa unable to accommodate so many vehicles, so had to be temporarily parked in Oxhorn Village.
anwhile, Zayn entrusted Brandon with the 40 million dollars he’d earned from starring in dramas and endorsents.
After completing the paperwork for the company stock buyback, Brandon and Lindsay severed their final ties. Without hesitation, Lindsay deleted Brandon’s contact info and issage in front of him.
Before she got into her car, she said coolly, "Now that you’re at the top, there’s no shortage of won flocking to you, bending over backward to please you. They’ll say exactly what you want to hear and beco whoever you need them to be unlike .
"But I doubt you’ll ever find another woman like , who would stand by your side, unwavering, through riches or poverty, hardship or glory." With that, she got into her car, closed the door, and drove away.
Brandon watched her car disappear, then wandered alone down familiar streets, feeling a faint chill and a touch of loneliness in the sumr air. In his heart, he reflected, ’I’m just not cut out for relationships. I should probably just focus on my career. If I never get married, I’ll just live with Mom and Dad.’
On the sa day, a new sester began. As soon as Avery arrived on campus, Franco received an email from Joy: [Professor Xander, when does this year’s archaeology expedition start? I can hardly wait!]
Avery, posing as Franco, replied: [After Independence Day, we’ll head to Karnakale for an archaeological dig, possibly venturing into restricted areas. This expedition will be dangerous, so be sure to fully prepare before Independence Day.]
The reason for setting the date after Independence Day was Jaden and Luna’s wedding, scheduled for that holiday.
Joy replied with a : [I’m not afraid of danger; I’ll start preparing now and won’t let you down.]
Avery took a sip of water, smirking inwardly. Joy’s actions fit her expectations perfectly-disappointnt wasn’t an option.
After the mountain archaeology trip, Joy believed she’d glimpsed Franco’s true face and uncovered his real identity, so she secretly sent soone to investigate this male Franco. But little did she know, this fake Franco was one of Avery’s people, observing Joy in turn and uncovering quite a few of her secrets.
The more Avery learned about Joy, the more impressed she beca. She knew Joy was undeniably extraordinary.
However, their rivalry wouldn’t last forever. By the ti Avery graduated, only one of them would erge victorious.
Ti flew, and Independence Day arrived. Jaden and Luna held a small, private wedding at the Carter family farm, with fewer than 200 close friends and family present.
But before the wedding, every hotel, inn, and guesthouse in Oxhorn Village and the entire county was booked solid. Fans, dia, and onlookers flocked there, hoping to witness the event. Though the ceremony was private, people gathered around the farm’s observation fence for a glimpse.
Crowds packed Oxhorn Village from
one end to the other, with many climbing rooftops and trees, binoculars in hand. Even the Carter family, no strangers to large gatherings, were taken aback. All they could do was deploy security to keep order and remind the crowd to stay safe.
Dressed in a minimalist white suit and wedding dress, Jaden and Luna exchanged vows at the Carter family cetery, inviting the heroes and elders laid to rest there to witness their happiness.
While so might consider a cetery wedding unlucky, neither Luna nor the Carter family were concerned. This arrangent, proposed by Luna, deeply moved the mbers of the family, who embraced her as one of their own.
After the ceremony, the couple paid their respects and planted a lily at the gravesite. From that day forward, every Carter family wedding included a visit to the cetery, where newlyweds would honor their ancestors and plant a lily in tribute. Among the guests were two masked individuals, concealing their identities from the crowd. One was Alexander. The other was Nicolette Trevor, also known as General Trevor.
Nicolette’s appearance was striking. She wore a short braid, a mauve suit, and thick-soled cloth shoes, exuding a bold, carefree elegance. Her bright eyes, visible above her mask, conveyed confidence and intelligence.
Brandon had invited her, not only to attend Jaden’s wedding but also to visit Annie’s dical research lab for a personal consultation.
Nicolette remarked, "Since I’m here, I might as well give it a try."
She didn’t hold much hope for the consultation.
This ti, Avery appeared directly as Dr. Annie, without any disguise, and conducted a thorough examination of Nicolette. She then confidently assured the latter, "It can be completely healed, though it will take so ti." Nicolette’s eyes brightened. "How long do you think it will take?"
Avery explained, "I’ll perform a skin graft on the scars on your face and so of the more severe red marks, followed by an application of a specially formulated ointnt. Due to certain constraints, the ointnt is quite rare and can’t be taken out of the lab, so you’ll need to co in daily for application. You should see complete healing within about three months. Will you be able to spare that much ti?"
Avery’s herbal cultivation base had recently produced a few more revival herbs, which could be used in Nicolette’s treatnt—a small gesture of gratitude for saving Brandon. Nicolette paused to consider before nodding. "I haven’t had a vacation in years. If I add up my leave, it should be enough to cover three months."
Both won were direct. Nicolette quickly requested extended leave from her unit and, at the Carter family’s warm invitation, moved into their villa for a brief stay. Soon after, with Brandon by her side, she underwent the skin graft surgery, perford personally by Avery.
The surgery was highly successful, and Nicolette was thrilled with the outco.
Afterward, Avery entrusted Nicolette’s follow-up treatnt to the research lab and left Rosemont City as Franco, bringing Joy along to Karnakale for an archaeological expedition.
