The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Lostswa.

Virginia Frost drank three cups of tea in a row, from sunrise to midday, then sunset.

She drank tea until she was hypoglycaemic.

Virginia Frost picked up a piece of cake. It was a Snowflake Cake from Golden Jade in Lostswa, a palace recipe that ordinary people couldn’t get their hands on.

Just as she picked it up, footsteps came from outside the door, and Virginia Frost immediately put the cake down.

A tall man casually walked in.

The man, in his fifties, had a square face, intimidating despite his calm gaze, exuding an aura of integrity that subconsciously made people nervous.

Virginia Frost stood up, “Uncle Lewis, it’s been a while. You’re looking more vigorous than ever.”

The man walked to the main seat and sat down, slowly took a sip of tea, and didn’t even spare her a glance.

Having been ignored all day and now outright dismissed, Virginia Frost didn’t show any annoyance. “I have been meaning to visit, but have been bogged down due to lack of time. I hope you understand, Uncle. By the way, how’s Aunt’s health?”

The man put down the teacup, causing a loud echo. His eyes, shining like torches, fixed on Virginia Frost.

Virginia Frost’s heart skipped a beat, but she smiled without showing any change of expression.

“Look at the mess you’ve made in Pethkids. It’s filled with chaos; do you even know what the public is saying about us? They accuse us of siphoning public resources for personal disputes. I’ve been too indulgent towards you all these years, which has now got us into this big disaster.”

With a smashing sound of the teacup, it shattered at Virginia Frost’s feet, and she got wet by the splashed tea.

Virginia Frost sat motionless, “Uncle Lewis, The Rintos have become too arrogant …”

Her words were interrupted, “The Rintos are arrogant? I see the arrogant one to be you. Wasn’t Lando Elijah the one looking after it? Who do you think you are to meddle?”

The man waved his hand, “Never mind, I don’t want to hear your explanation. You’ll remain in Lostswa for the next three months. Don’t even think to go anywhere until the investigation is complete and the public placated. WT Organization will be tentatively managed by Night Hawk.”

Virginia Frost was stunned for a moment, then looked straight at him.

“Night Hawk?”

Virginia Frost felt like she had fallen into an abyss, knowing at last where she had failed.

The man glanced at her and after a moment’s thought, said, “Little Virginia, you’re talented, but like your mother, you have obsessions that serve neither you nor others well. Some things, when it’s time to let go, just let go. Forgive others, but also forgive yourself.”

Virginia Frost’s face turned white, she left haggardly.

As soon as Virginia Frost left, Madon Linggo came in.

“There’s something you need to do.”

Madon Linggo lowered his head respectfully.

“Peter Aria’s lover disappeared thirteen years ago. This disappearance may be related to Virginia Frost. You need to assist Peter Aria in his investigation.”

Madon Linggo acknowledged it.

“By the way.” The man called to Madon Linggo as he prepared to leave.

“How is that girl named Aubree Groove now?”

“Nothing major, just some minor injuries.”

“That’s good, control online public opinion, avoid any negative impact. Be firm when needs to and flexible when required.”

After Madon Linggo departed, the man sat alone for a while. A servant came in to clean up the shattered teacup on the floor, not making a sound.

“Bring someone.”

The secretary came over, “Sir, may I help?”@@novelbin@@

“Send someone in my name to Pethkids to console Ms. Rinto. It’s my fault for causing her fright due to my negligence of my subordinates.”

The secretary was stunned, but hurriedly acknowledged the order.

What worth or capabilities does the Rinto family have to receive a personal visit of consolation from Mr. Lewis?

I’m afraid from now on, no one would dare to challenge the Rinto family’s status in Pethkids.

——

As the Pethkids Police Department took care of Bartlett Parker and his group, online public opinion gradually settled down after a week.

Mr. Lewis’s secretary personally visited Pethkids to console Aubree Groove. Although the visit was low-profile, the news still got out, causing quite an uproar among Pethkids’ high society.

What does this mean?

Even Mr. Lewis has acknowledged the existence of the Rinto family. From now on, they are simply the Rinto family.

Pindo Rinto has become a thing of the past. Now, the Rinto family is headed by Agave Rinto and Aubree Groove, one a business tycoon, the other a charity pioneer. With their joint efforts, the Rinto family has successfully shaken off their bad reputation and emerged as the leading elite family of Pethkids.

More amusingly, through this event, Agave Rinto, with his movie-star looks, formidable persona, and his unreachable wealth, successfully kept his title as the national heartthrob.

It was calculated that, based on the assets under the Rinto family’s name, Agave Rinto’s wealth was not lesser than Digby Hart’s and could even possibly surpass him. After all, one poker game could already turn the tables, let alone the many industries under the Rinto family.
