Kylie froze, Henry muttered “finally,” and Nadine couldn’t stop the smile tugging at her lips.

Tess didn’t spare them another glance. She simply turned around.

The three of them walked out side by side, like three tall, unyielding trees.

Although Nadine was delighted to see Tess finally gone, she still ground her teeth in hatred at Tess’s arrogance a moment ago.

“Nadine, what are you doing? Hurry and help your dad.”

Kylie’s chest felt unbearably heavy, as though something was pressing down on her. Even her words to Nadine carried a faint note of blame.

Nadine was taken aback.

Since the day she came to the Embers as a child, Kylie and Henry had always treated her with patience and gentleness. Never once had they scolded her.

Her pause made Kylie realize her tone just now, and she quickly softened it, trying to make up

for it.

“I’m just too worried. It’s Tess’s fault for making such a scene today!”

Nadine was the only daughter left behind by her best friend.

That night, she and Shannon had been driving down the highway in the dark.

Shannon had grown tired at the wheel after too many hours, and with one careless slip, the car broke through the guardrail and hung dangerously on the edge.

Kylie had been terrified, and her mind went blank with fear. It was Shannon who shoved her out of the car.

In that instant, the force drove the car to plummet into the abyss below.

Kylie had crashed hard onto the roadside, rolling across the gravel until her arms were covered in scrapes and bruises.

What shocked her even more was that when she regained consciousness again, the car was already gone.

The accident had been reported in the Actheris news since it was horrific. Kylie had sat there in shock, her body numb, until rescuers arrived, and she belatedly felt the pain of her wounds.

Compared to Shannon, who died in that wreck, her own injuries were nothing.

Ever since then, she had been haunted by regret in the lonely hours of the night.

That accident had happened because she’d quarreled with Henry. Out of sheer desperation to make him stay, she had dragged Shannon onto the road with her, even at midnight.

She had never forgiven herself. And so, all her guilt and all her love had been poured onto Nadine.

“It’s okay,” Nadine said softly, shaking her head.

She looked so obedient, even reaching for Kylie’s hand in comfort.

Henry gave them a sideways look and scoffed. “Look at the ‘good daughter‘ you’ve raised.”

Kylie pressed her lips together in silence.

Meanwhile, Tess was already seated in the car.

Holding the heavy box in her arms, she felt as if she were in a dream.

She never thought it would be this easy.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

The Embers might not be the most powerful family, but they were wealthy enough. She and Lyra had prepared an entire arsenal of legal documents, ready to fight their way through–and yet she had walked out with the box without even needing them.

Something she couldn’t quite grasp flickered in her mind.

With a sigh, she pushed the thought aside and lowered her gaze to the box in her lap.

It was hard to imagine this being the inheritance of a wealthy matriarch. The box looked like something out of a movie from the seventies or eighties.

It was an old tin box with worn edges.

Tess struggled a little to open it, and inside was a yellowed sheet of paper.

Puzzled, she carefully pulled it out, only to find a piece of sheet music she had never seen

before.

She couldn’t help but suspect Kylie of lying.

:

Did she just hand me some worthless scrap to get rid of me?

“This is Wentworth Hampton’s ‘Splendor Sonata“?”

Lyra frowned, a rare spark of light flickering in her otherwise cool expression.

“You know it?”

Tess’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly passed the paper into Lyra’s hands.

Lyra’s fingers brushed across the notes, her lips moving slightly as if she were silently playing the music.

By the time she turned the last page, her face was filled with an excitement she could no longer hide.
