SWNOVELS Chapter 5513
Ms. Turk remained unfazed by Jagoan’s words and replied, “Butler Thompson, Madam has already anticipated your message.
That’s why she’s asked you to meet her at Lama Temple for a discussion. Can you adjust the timing?”
“Of course,” Jagoan hurriedly responded. “The Young Master prefers to keep a low profile and won’t allow me to pick him up at
the airport. I’ll wait for him at the old house. It’s conveniently close to Lama Temple, and I’ve got plenty of time.”
“Very well,” Ms. Turk replied casually. “I’ll meet you at Lama Temple in an hour.”
Jagoan replied respectfully, “I’ll follow your instructions.”
After the call, Ms. Turk reported to the lady, “Madam, Butler Thompson informed us that the Young Master will be visiting the old
house tonight.”
The middle-aged woman was taken aback for a moment, her beautifully lined eyes misting over slightly. She quickly wiped away
the tears and smiled with joy, saying, “Jagoan has been away for so many years; it’s about time he goes back for a visit. It’s just
that I, as his mother, have been separated from him for two decades, and I still haven’t had the chance to meet him.”
This middle-aged woman was Lily Evans, the legendary Chinese businesswoman. For the past twenty years, only her closest
confidants knew she still existed in this world. Not even Jagoan, her closest kin, or anyone in the Evans family, was aware of her
survival.
Seeing her melancholy, Ms. Turk quickly comforted her, saying, “Madam, although you haven’t seen the Young Master for so
many years, you’ve always been deeply concerned about him. When the time comes, when you meet the Young Master and
explain everything, he will understand that it was never your fault.”
Lily managed a wry smile and murmured, “Ever since Bruce died, I’ve been longing to avenge him and to see Jagoan. But I
never imagined that everything Bruce and I worked so hard for would almost push Jagoan into the abyss of eternal destruction.
To this day, I don’t know if Bruce’s and my efforts over the past twenty years were right or wrong.”
Ms. Turk spoke firmly, “Madam, forgive me for speaking out of turn. Although the Young Master has faced many challenges and
disappointments over the past twenty years, Master Bruce was always far- sighted and strategic in his lifetime. His decisions
were undoubtedly well-considered. Even if some unforeseen events occurred, Master Bruce’s choices at the time were
undoubtedly the best for you and the Young Master.”
Lily nodded gently and stated resolutely, “You’re right. Bruce sacrificed himself to protect Jagoan and me. He paved the way for
Jagoan with his own life. Jagoan will surely live up to his expectations.”
As she said this, Lily stared out the window, her thoughts flashing back through the events of the past two decades.
Meanwhile, the plane had already taxied to a closed hangar near the remote stand at Eastcliff Airport.
As the aircraft approached the hangar, the massive doors swung open to reveal three identical private jets parked inside, along
with several inconspicuous Hongqi H9 cars. Maintenance crew members in uniform were waiting patiently.
Originally, Lily had planned to switch aircraft here before heading south to Aurous Hill. However, because Jagoan had suddenly
altered his flight schedule and come to Eastcliff, Lily changed her plans on the fly. Upon disembarking from the plane, she
immediately climbed into one of the luxury cars. The motorcade exited the hangar, bypassed the airport via the VIP route, and
set a course straight for Lama Temple.
Lama Temple was steeped in history and stood as Eastcliff’s most renowned temple. It was also where Lily had a private
courtyard.
Lily had asked Jagoan to meet her at Lama Temple, referring to this residence.
There’s an old saying, a small fry hides in the wilderness, while a big fish hides in the city. It was unexpected that Lily’s residence
in Eastcliff was nestled in the temple with the highest footfall in the city center.
Upon reaching the residence, Jagoan had already arrived early and was waiting in the central hall of the courtyard.
Seeing Lily and Ms. Turk entering together, he quickly rushed to the door, bowing respectfully. “Madam, Sister Turk!”
Lily nodded slightly and gestured towards the chairs in the hall. “Take a seat, Jagoan.”
Jagoan bowed once more and thanked her. “Thank you, Madam.”
Lily waved her hand and settled into the central hall, with Ms. Turk, disguised with a hat, standing by her side.
Although Ms. Turk still wore a hat, Jagoan could discern that she had shaved her head and asked in astonishment, “Sister Turk,
what’s this about?”
Ms. Turk offered a slight smile and removed her hat, stepping down as she replied, “Today, I played the role of a Nun at Shiwan
Mountain.”
Jagoan hurriedly inquired, “Sister Turk, did you meet the Young Master? Does he recognize you? Please don’t alarm the Young
Master if you did!”
Ms. Turk shook her head and reassured him, “Don’t worry, I didn’t encounter the Young Master directly.”
“That’s a relief,” Jagoan sighed. “Madam, Sister Turk, you have been gone for a long time. Now that you’re back in Eastcliff,
you’ve chosen to be where the Young Master is. May I ask what prompted this change?”
Lily explained calmly, “I asked Sister Turk to intercept Jagoan at Shiwan. Originally, I planned to stop in Eastcliff before heading
to Aurous Hill for some matters. But Jagoan suddenly altered his flight and came to Eastcliff, so I adjusted my plans accordingly.”
Jagoan was surprised, “Madam, have you seen the Young Master? What is he like now?”
Lily shook her head and stated, “When Jagoan and I were at our closest, we were just a couple of miles apart. But now he’s
become so powerful that I wouldn’t dare to approach him even from a distance.”
Jagoan pressed further, “Madam, do you not plan to meet the Young Master yet?”
Lily’s expression turned serious as she replied firmly, “Not yet. Morgana made two attempts to exterminate the Evans family
recently. She must have suspected that I’m still alive and wanted to use this to test my existence. If she confirmed my survival,
she would use it to force me out. If it weren’t for Jagoan’s timely assistance and intervention on both occasions, I might not have
been able to evade detection any longer. I’ve survived these tests, and I can’t act recklessly now.”
Jagoan probed, “Madam, the Young Master’s sudden change of plans and arrival in Eastcliff, along with his desire to visit the old
house, could it be that he’s sensed something?”
Lily shook her head and replied, “Unlikely. I believe Jagoan is currently feeling somewhat perplexed. His visit to Eastcliff and the
old house is likely an attempt to seek guidance.”
Jagoan asked, “Madam, what are your plans during your stay in Eastcliff this time?”
Lily said, “I have no specific plans, but I do have something for you. Before Jagoan arrives in Eastcliff, I need you to place this
item back in the Jagoan family’s old house. Tomorrow morning, I’ll head to Aurous Hill.”
Lily nodded to Ms. Turk, who promptly retrieved an old-fashioned 16-page photo album from her purse and handed it to Jagoan.
Jagoan hesitated to open it directly and sought clarification, “Madam, you want me to return this photo album to the old house?”
“Yes,” Lily affirmed, sighing, “It’s been twenty years, and it’s time for Jagoan to gradually learn about some long-buried past
events.”
