protective fierceness in her voice.
Arabella, puzzled by her mother's words, replied, "He hasn't done anything to me. We haven't even spoken. As a matter of fact, |
haven't met him yet."
Louisa looked perplexed. "The bodyguard at the door toldyou two exchanged a few words and then you got upset and wouldn't
let him in. What's that all about?"
"Wait, the guy at the door is my brother?" Arabella's eyes widened with surprise. The sSean?
Could he really be her brother? Was this not skind of trick?
"Yeah," Louisa said, still a bit dazed. How could Bella not know that the man was her own brother?
"And there was an assistant with him?"

"That's right, his nis Steward. He's been by Sean's side for years now."
Upon hearing this, Arabella immediately stood up and headed for the front door.
Outside, the two men had practically turned into snowmen. Steward was completely frozen stiff, staring longingly at the main
house, never imagining that in the next moment, he'd actually see Ms. Bella opening the door and braving the heavy snow to walk
toward them.
"Sean, | think I'm hallucinating from the cold." Steward said, his breath forming clouds in the air, looking like an awkward
snowman, "It really looks like Ms. Bella. Ms. Bella is coming."
Sean noticed his sister approaching and his face lit up with excitement. It was really his sister!
She was coming to him!
"Ms. Bella is getting closer. It's real." Steward's gaze was filled with hope. "It's really her, not a hallucination."
He wanted to jump up and shout for Ms. Bella, but his feet were numb from the cold and he couldn't move.
His hands were too stiff to lift.
Even his voice, muffled by the cold air, was quieter than usual.
"Ms. Bella. please let us in." Steward pleaded, chattering teeth and all, mustering all his energy to shout, "Sean's injured!"
Arabella reached the gate, where the security guard quickly cout to salute. "Ms. Bella, | remembered your instructions and
didn't let them in."
"Open the gate."
The guard thought he had misheard, but seeing Ms. Bella's resolute face, he immediately pressed the button to open the gate.
Finally, Sean could cin. It had been such a struggle.
The guard secretly rejoiced for him.

The gate slowly swung open on both sides.
The man who was once so cocky and proud now seemed to have deflated a bit in her presence, his expression even showing a hint
of careful appeasement.
He tried to step forward, but his feet were frozen solid, too stiff to take a step.
Steward gave him a push, and Sean managed to move forward, asking with joy, "Bella, you're not mad anymore?"
Arabella scrutinized the man in front of her. "Are you really my brother?"
"The real deal," Sean assured her, patting his chest. The snowflakes from his clothes sprayed onto Arabella's hair, and he hurriedly
reached out to brush them off. "Oops, | didn't mean to get it on you."
"Ms. Bella, letintroduce myself. I'm Steward, Sean's right-hand man. | swear on my life, he is your brother, no doubt about it!"
Arabella looked at Steward, who seemed earnest, and then back at the bumbling, eager-to-please Sean in front of her, and asked
with a hint of suspicion, "So, before..."
"Before, | didn't realize you were my sister."
