Second floor.
Inside a certain room, Sumr Shawcross stood by the window, lost in thought as she watched the man outside turning away while talking on his phone and leaving the courtyard.
She only turned back into the room after the man’s figure disappeared in the distance.
This room was one she had casually walked into; it was laid out like those on the first floor, reflecting Finn Fielding’s taste, with details that exuded a lived-in feel.
It was evident that the lady who used to live here had to be soone with great taste and a passion for life.
Thinking about it, Sumr couldn’t help but recall what old Mr. Drexler had ntioned before... Amber.
If the wife he referred to was indeed Noah Drexler’s mother...
Sumr suddenly rembered that she had seen Noah Drexler’s mother’s photos from the butler before; she was an elegant and beautiful woman.
Therefore... when Sumr t Autumn Duval, she felt Autumn resembled soone.
Only later did she rember that Autumn Duval’s appearance indeed bore so resemblance to Noah Drexler’s mother when she was young...
Realizing this, her expression changed subtly.
Suddenly it felt like all of this was rely a coincidence?
Why did old Mr. Drexler choose to adopt a woman who resembled Noah Drexler’s mother as his daughter, and at all costs push Noah into marrying her?
Sumr couldn’t figure out the inexplicable relationships involved.
She vaguely felt that everything within The Drexler Family was even more complicated than she had imagined.
...
Sumr Shawcross originally wanted to inquire about Esther’s situation, as they had planned to et at the back gate of the Drexler house. However, when she arrived, Esther was already gone, and her belongings had fallen into old Mr. Drexler’s possession.
Concerned about Esther, Sumr asked several servants on duty in the courtyard, but they knew nothing about her.
Just as Sumr was anxiously deciding to seek out Noah Drexler, in the afternoon, Butler Ye brought several servants to the courtyard.
"Place everything where it belongs and arrange them properly, but rember, do not damage any original decorations or details!" As soon as he entered, Butler Ye turned to instruct the servants, who then arranged the essential supplies and everyday items in the room.
"Butler Ye!" Seeing Butler Ye arrive, Sumr Shawcross greeted him as if seeing a savior.
Upon seeing Sumr’s current state, Butler Ye paused for several seconds, unable to recognize her identity...
"Are you... Esther?" He stared at her for a long ti before uncertainly asking.
Sumr quickly nodded.
Seeing her nod, Butler Ye’s expression beca even more complex, looking at the vibrant woman before him, thoroughly shocked...
Then he recalled the gossip spreading among the Drexler family’s servants earlier in the morning.
They were saying... Esther had transford into a great beauty and also beca the Drexler family’s eldest young mistress...
Initially, he didn’t believe it, thinking that re makeup couldn’t change a person’s face that drastically!
But now, looking at the woman in front of him, he was astonished to realize that the power of makeup, akin to costic surgery, should not be underestimated!
Yet most people apply makeup to enhance their looks; it was the first ti he saw soone intentionally make themselves appear unattractive.
"Butler Ye, where did Esther go? Could anything have happened to her?" Sumr asked anxiously, her concern evident as she looked at Butler Ye.
