“I thought they were here for a consultation,” Director Noah murmured softly.
Amelia didn’t think much of it. She simply lowered her head to send a message declining a consultation request. Lately, many people had come to the neighborhood asking for her services, including some from neighboring cities and
counties. It wasn’t strange for Director Noah to think that way, especially since her biological parents were from River County.
“Director Noah, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep Uncle Lee and the others waiting,” Amelia said.
“Alright,” Director Noah replied with a smile and a nod.
One said little, the other asked nothing. A beautiful misunderstanding was born from their interaction.
Outside the Community the Cromwell family was in a panic.
Several of the Cromwell family’s young masters had work to attend to, so they had to return first.
Mr. Cromwell sat in a New York–registered business car, looking grim. “Didn’t they say the seventh young lady lives

here? Why is everyone saying there’s no such person?”

“Sub… subordinate will go check again!” Manager Monroe, the chubby one, wiped away cold sweat. “The people from River County say the Milton family mistook the seventh young lady for someone else. I’ve already sent someone to inquire. It’s possible the seventh young lady is still with the Milton family.”
Mr. Cromwell raised an eyebrow, his presence imposing. “Sent someone?”
“I’ll go myself! Right now!” Manager Monroe trembled and immediately got out of the car.
Mr. Cromwell coughed several times, his anger flaring.
Over the years, Mr. Cromwell’s health had deteriorated because of his longing for his granddaughter. His condition worsened after a trip to River County, with his lungs now
infected.
The attending physician was concerned. “Mr. Cromwell, your health cannot wait any longer. You need to be hospitalized immediately. If you don’t want to return to New York, we can treat you here in LA. Manager Monroe can stay here at Community. We’ll get news of the seventh young lady soon.”
At first, Mr. Cromwell refused. But once he started running a fever, the Cromwell family driver wasted no time and immediately drove away from Community!

None of the people in the car noticed that, at that exact moment, a young girl on a bicycle was passing by them.
“Amelia, you’re finally back!”
Emma, who sold fruit at the entrance of the community, was the first to approach when she saw Amelia locking her bike.
“Did little Noah tell you? A group of suspicious people is looking for you.”
In the community, Director Noah, who was addressed as “leader” outside, was referred to as “little Noah” here, showing Emma’s seniority.
Amelia didn’t mind at all. She raised her hand to check
Emma’s pulse, smiling as she said, “So Director Noah made a special trip to find me for this. He’s been riding his electric bike the whole way.“”
“At least he knows how to handle things,” Emma said with a proud look, giving Director Noah an appreciative glance.
It was rare for Director Noah to hear such praise from the elderly leaders, and he looked at Amelia with gratitude. “What Teacher Z said is right, it’s the least I could do. Amelia, in the future, you can always rely on me.”
Amelia was polite and didn’t decline. “Thank you, Director

In any neighborhood, mutual help strengthens relationships.
If Amelia had been too polite and formal with him, Director Noah might have only looked out for her because of his respect for the elderly leaders. But Amelia was generous, always giving back in kind and speaking highly of him in front of others.
From the very beginning, Director Noah had seen potential in Amelia, and now, he admired her even more.
Which young person these days could handle things as well as Amelia?
That man at the hotel earlier had looked down on her, but he couldn’t see the treasure in front of him!
“Achoo!”
In Caesar Hotel, Jackson, who was on the phone, sneezed, frowning. “What did you say? Someone from River County has arrived?”
