Outside in the garden, Lucien's children, Hyacinth Pearl, Aspen Blue Pearl, Ainsley Pearl and Robin Pearl, were seated around a long, elegant crystal family table,
Hyacinth Pearl, is a very handsome young man, working as a director in the finance department of the Pearl Corporation.
Aspen Blue Pearl is an actor and singer within the entertainment business. He uses his middle name "Blue" as his stage name.
Ainsley Pearls, a young cosmetologist, has set up her own cosmetics business and has a clothing brand called "PX FASHION".
Robin Pearls is a young actor who has just debuted in a film called 'The Phantom Warrior', which he co-wrote the script.
Seated at another luxurious table were,
Glacier Pearls, CEO of the Pearl Corporation
Lucien Pearls (CCO), Chief Operating Officer of the Pearl Corporation, Glacier's second-in-command, and seated next to him was his wife, Fushsia Jade Pearl.
Also present were the rest of Glacier's siblings - Dave, Shoaen, Iris and Ivy Pearls.
And sitting at the head of the table was Skyrio Ray Pearls {the President}. Skyrio is Glacier's grandfather and the head of the Pearl family.
'Ahhh, how did we end up there?' Travis wondered with a sigh.
"Travis, how long until the results are in?" Skyrio asked in an impatient tone.
"About two minutes," Travis replied calmly.
"Arghh! By the way, where is my great-granddaughter? I'm so curious. I really want to see her," Skyrio said dramatically, throwing his arms up in the air.
"Tsk!" Lucien's second son, Aspen, was totally against the idea in having Aella in the family. He had no idea where this new girl came from or how they found her, but he did not like the idea of having an impostor in the family.
'I'm sure she's just an impostor trying to take advantage of our wealth,' he thought.
Maisie's mind was blank, she was restless. She heaved a long sigh and then began to shake her head in exasperation.
"....." Everyone looked at her strangely.
"Hey sis" Shoaen waved his hand in front of her face "Heeeey sis..." Maisie didn't respond
"MAISIE" Shoaen raised his voice looking strangely at her. Finally, Maisie looked at him "are you alright?" Shoaen asked her again.
Seeing Shoaen dumb face, Maisie got annoyed "You idiot," Maisie slapped his head.
"You busybody, I only told you about the situation because you asked me to," she slapped him a second time, "but what did you do? you brought them all here, do you know the trouble you just got me into? "Useless," Maisie kicked him.
"Ouch! Glacier, save me, sister... no, this madwoman wants to kill me," he ran to Glacier only to get kicked.
"Y..y..y..you're all bullying me." He felt they were treating him unfairly. "So what? I only told them a little bit, not all the stories. It's not that deep to react like that," Shoaen felt unfairly accused. "And you, Glacier, should be supporting me instead of kicking me like that, look at the way I helped you to find your daughter!
"You did nothing, Aunt Maisie did everything," Robin said. "And we are still not sure if she is his daughter"
Glacier didn't even glance their side. He just was all quiet waiting.
Irritated, Maisie ignored the shouting and then looked at Travis as she said, "Mr Travis, is everything ready?"
"Yes, everything is ready for the announcement."
When he finished, Travis pressed a green button. Suddenly, a robotic voice spoke.
{
Everyone swallowed their saliva in fear and nervousness at the unexpected announcement.
Everyone was silence. Glacier, with an expression that could kill, clutched his mobile phone tightly in his hand.
{In the case of Lucien Pearl vs. Aella, it has been determined that ... Aella is not the biological daughter of Lucien Pearl.}
In shock, Lucien clenched his fists, then looked at his wife, who was equally shocked, before turning sad.
Maisie, however, wasn't too surprised by this result.
Lucien looked at Glacier who was sitting apart from them, for the first time in his life he saw all kinds of emotions on his brother's face, there was curiosity, worry, nervousness and fear.
For the first time in his life, his brother appeared and felt like a human being who was capable of many emotions. He too started praying that Aella was the daughter his brother had been looking for so many years.
His eyes were hopefully fixed on the robot.
{
GULP! Glacier swallowed nervously. He was all tense and nervious
THUMP THUMP. Glacier's heart pounded so loud that if someone was standing next to him could hear it.
{
Everyone trembled when they heard the result. The little baby who had mysteriously disappeared with her mother sixteen years ago.....was Aella.
Glacier's hands trembled as he walked over to Travis, who pulled out the DNA report and handed it to him. The word 'happy' was not enough to describe the feelings and emotions that Glacier was going through at that very moment.
He then walked over to Maisie and reached out to shake her hand. Maisie looked at him. Her eyes were wide with surprise. Her brother looked so happy and full of joy,' she thought. Then she saw something she had never seen before in her life.
She looked up at Glacier. He was smiling so broadly that everyone gasped at the sight. Damn that smile could be fatal for an entire continent
They were all thought that they were staring at someone else; there was no way that this smiling person was the same cold and cruel demon CEO.
"Kwaaahahahahahahaha," Skyrio laughed, "At last, .... now go find my great-granddaughter."
Glacier's siblings were overjoyed to see this, especially since they had seen how miserable Glacier's life had become after Violet and Aella had disappeared.
"Congratulations, Uncle," Ainsley said as she approached him.
"Congratulations brother," Iris said sincerely.
"Ayoo brother, I'm so happy for you," Shoaen came over with Dave.
He gripped the report paper tightly as if his life depended on it "Thank you," Glacier replied sightly, his voice was small and a little less cold than it had been.
Amidst all this emotion, a maid ran out into the courtyard, shouting
" Madam Maisie!"
Skyrio looked at her in annoyance, "Now is not the time for interruptions, we are in the middle of a celebration."
"I am sorry to interrupt, but young mistress, Miss Aella has returned."
"....."
"I'm completely dead," Maisie said
