Chapter 13
Lily’s respectful voice echoed outside the door. “Ms. Lynch, your parents want to see you in the garden.”
Yvonne knew the surprise was ready. She closed the door and followed Lily. Just as she reached the garden entrance, the villa’s lights went out Three seconds later, dreamy lights lit up the scene once again.
“This way, please. Lily gestured respectfully.
Yvonne stepped into the garden, greeted by trees adorned with star–shaped lights, pastel–colored balloons drifting in the sky, and colorful ribbons cascading down. Yvonne was stunned. She had never encountered such surprises from the White family before. Now, sensing the genuine care and indulgence, she felt overwhelmed.
Inside the house. Samantha was watching the scene in astonishment. Why did no one inform me before releasing those ribbons? Well, not a bad sight. It will surely get me many likes on Twitter.
Just as Samantha was ready to capture some lovely moments in the garden, her parents rushing out happily, exclaiming, “Oh, sweetheart
Samantha blushed, lowering her head in shyness. Her parents had never called her with such endearing terms, so she wondered. Did they miss me after all this time apart? Assuming I’m in the garden and eagerly rushing to welcome me? Oh. they have no idea I’m still indoors.
With a delighted smile, Samantha headed towards the garden, only to see her parents talking to another girl affectionately. The girl had slender figure and natural, tanned complexion, unlike Samantha’s artificially lightened skin obtained through various skincare products,
Approaching closer, Samantha found despite the girl’s casual attire, her features were stunning, bearing a resemblance to Cherry. A breeze swept through, causing the girl’s hair to sway in the wind, radiating an otherworldly beauty.
How did we come to have such a guest in our home? Seems like Mom and Dad hold her in high regard. Samantha’s curiosity was piqued.
“D’ya like this garden surprise, Yvonne?” Yosef hadn’t finished when he suddenly noticed Samantha in front of him, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. “Samantha? Wasn’t your flight tomorrow afternoon? How come you’re here today?”
Knowing this garden surprise was for the girl, Samantha was puzzled. She couldn’t understand why her parents held such regard for a girl she had never met. However, with guest around, she didn’t show any sign of uncase and instead smiled, asking tenderly, “Dad, Mom, I caught an early flight back from my friend’s place. Who is this?”
Yosefo
quickly gathered himself and smiled, “Perfect timing! Let me introduce, this is Yvonne Owens Lynch.”
‘A Lynch? Is she some distant relative? She is dressed plainly and didn’t look like a close relative. All our close relatives are either wealthy or held prestigious positions. A distant relative dressing modestly like this is probably here to network or borrow money, right? Samantha wondered.
Yosef was unaware of her thoughts and turned to say, “Yvonne, bis is Samantha I mentioned to your earlier. She just finished SAT and is on summer break. She will be staying with us.”
Yvonne understood and spoke politely, “Hello.”
“Hello, Yvonne Samantha nodded slightly and put on her usual socialite smile, despite that she didn’t actually care about Yvonne and just saw her as a poor relative.
“Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, the ordered clothes and bags have arrived personally delivered by the brand representative,” a servant came to report.
“So fast?” Cherry was clated, taking Yvonne’s hand. “Go inside and see if you like them. Samantha, I have something to talk to

you about later”

Samantha froze. Those gorgeous clothes and bags inside are actually for Yvonne? Who was she? Why are Dad and Mom showing her such importance?
As Yvonne walked to the main hall with Yosef and Cherry, the brand representative was standing respectfully. “Good afternoon. Mr. Lynch. Mrs. Lynch, I’m Daniel Wilson, the brand manager at QY. You can call me Daniel. These clothes and bags are the latest creations by our brand’s founder, Yvaine Quinn. I heard these were ordered for a young lady?”
“Yeah.” Cherry nodded approvingly at the beautiful pieces. “Yvaine’s new collection is exceptional. Yvonne, come check if
you like them or not.”
Daniel followed the gaze, and his smile froze instantly as he saw Yvonne, stunning yet bearing an uncanny resemblance to his boss. He scrutinized Yvonne from head to toe. Even her subtle expression. She is the spitting image of my boss! How could this be… he pondered.
Three years ago, his boss, named “Yvaine,” founded QY, where she personally designed every piece of clothing. Due to its unique and innovative design, excellent fit, and the fact that each piece was produced in limited quantities, it quickly gained recognition within high society circles. Subsequently. Yvaine launched her line of shoes and bags, causing a stir in the fashion industry.
Her work garnered many international awards, and within just three years, QY transformed from an obscure brand to a top international label. Numerous high–end brands sought after Yvaine as a designer, even attempting to buy the QY brand, all of which were firmly rebuffed.
“Yvonne, if you’re not pleased with anything, you can talk to Daniel. He oversees the brand, Cherry said warmly. QY’s founder never made public appearances, focusing solely on creation, so all external matters were managed by Daniel.
Suppressing his inner shock, Daniel respectfully bowed and asked. “Miss, may I know your name?”
Yvonne raised her eyebrow. “I’m Yvonne Owens
Daniel’s confusion deepened. “The eyebrow and the voice. She is definitely my boss! What’s going on? How could my boss be the daughter of Yosef, the wealthiest individual in the country? With such wealth, why bother with a brand and earning more money? Hold on, isn’t Samantha Yosef’s only daughter? Could my boss be the illegitimate one? The kind who must remain hidden from the public eye? But if so, why would Mrs. Lynch allow her to be here and be so affectionate towards her?
