Laura’s Victory Second Chance

Chapter 48

After changing her name, Laura was busy inheriting her father’s estate. On the list of properties, there were no fewer than eight located right

this

Not to mention, he owned several more across the country and abroad. Laura finally understood what people meant when they spoke of her father at an important figure.

She spent an entire day touring all the properties in the city. Some were by the lake, others perched on the mountains, and more still were by the sea or in the city center.

y reaction was to think, ‘My dad must be a

Each property was merely a name on a list, but upon arriving at each location, she was left in awe. Her only re billionaire, must be a billionaire, and the kind who is extremely extravagant at that‘

One of the villas turned out to be a winery, with a basement housing an impressive collection of limited edition and rare wines. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that the value of those wines exceeded that of the villa itself.

The villa on the mountain was filled with various antiques; the moment she stepped inside, she felt as if she had entered a museum

At the seaside vill, there was an art gallery with paintings that were treasures from around the globe. Laura’s fingers brushed over each rare cativa and each jewel passed down through the centuries.

Her gaze lingered on a lovely set of amethyst Jewelry. The histrous stones radiated a soft glow, shimmering against the velvet display, and for a moment, they reminded her of Laston’s violet–tinted eyes..

Just as she reached for it, she noticed a letter tucked beneath the velvet. “Dear Laura, the elegant handwriting caught her eye- Laura opened the

envelope, and the flowing script unfolded before her.

“Dear Little Laura, If you’re reading this letter, it means you’ve discovered your dad’s secret stash. That’s right, this is all your dad’s hidden treasure. kept from your mom. Pretty amazing, huh?”

“Shh, this is our secret, so don’t tell your mom. If you do, your dad will be in big trouble!”

Just kidding. When I wrote this letter, you were already in your mommy’s belly. The doctor told us you are a girl, and your mom and I were over

the moon.”

“Being parents for the first time, we didn’t have much experience, but we only wanted to give you the best of everything because you are our entire world. I even wanted to pick the star in the sky for you.”

“But that seemed a bit too difficult. So, from the day we learned about your gender, I began collecting beautiful jewelry for you. I know girls love to be pretty, so I’m preparing a lot of lovely gems to make you the most beautiful little princess in the world.”

“I often wonder whether you’ll take after me more or your mom. Your mom is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I hope you’ll resemble her. That way, I’ll have two precious beauties, and I’ll be the happiest man in the world.”

“On the day you get married, all these little trinkets I’ve collected will be your dowry. Although it won’t compare to the stars in the sky, it’s the thought that counts”

“But to think about you getting married makes my heart ache. So, I’ve set up an arrangement for you with someone. If that little brat dares not treat you well, I will make him regret it!”

“Sweetheart, hurry up and come out! Your mom and I can’t wait to welcome yo

you. My baby girl, I love you so much”

Tears streamed down Laura’s face like pearls slipping from a broken necklace. She had never seen this letter in her past life, nor did she know her father had prepared such a rich dowry for her.

Noticing that the letter was damp with her tears, Laura quickly wiped her eyes. She realized that her dad was not as cold and ruthless as the rumors suggested. His writing style was like that of a joyful young man, filling her heart with warmth and emotion. She thought. If only I could meet my dad in this life..

Laura spent a significant amount of time in the villa, carefully examining each piece of jewelry. Even a small brooch represented her father’s love. Eventually, she made the decision to take the exquisite set of amethyst jewelry with her, feeling an unwavering belief that if it was chosen by her father, it must be the finest treasure in existence.

As she left the villa, the sunset painted the sky in vibrant hues, and the gentle evening breeze played with her hair. Laura gently tucked a loose strand behind her ear.

There were still many places on the checklist, along with the mysterious Starlight Group, waiting for her to explore. This massive inheritance held

many secrets

For instance, everyone knew her father was the heir to the Godfrey family, but how did Alistair become connected to Starlight Group, and how

he leave her so many shares? She had searched online, but found no information linking Alistair to Starlight Group.

Moreover, the inheritance indicated that Alistair was already extremely wealthy at that time. Perhaps the car accident was not an accident at all, but a deliberate murder. Laura pondered who might have wanted to kill her father,

Alistair had sent her to the Sharpe family under the pretext of protecting her from the power struggles of the Godfrey family. From what she could see, the twenty percent stake in Godfrey Group was merely to ensure that the Sharpe family treated her well, while Alistair had left her an even more substantial inheritance beyond that 20 percent.

Laura thought. If Dad wanted to keep me away from the Godfrey family, why not let the Ryan family care for me? They were far more powerful and suitable to protect me than the Sharpe family, as he had recognized them as in–laws

Upon further reflection, she found herself entangled in a web of questions. Laura decided that once she finished her SAT, she would get to the bottom of the truth from back then

Laura’s emotions were complicated, a mix of warmth and heaviness. She had a sense that the events of the past were shrouded in mist, and the truth was far from as simple as a few words could convey.

Just then, a notification on her phone disrupted her thoughts. Laura’s gaze fell on the name “Evelyn‘ displayed on the screen.

Evelyn Laura, are you okay? You haven’t been to school for so long, and I’m a bit worried about you. Can we meet?]

A small smile formed on Laura’s red lips. She had nearly forgotten about Evelyn.
