"Okay, how about I just accompany you, honey," said Seira offering herself.

"If that's what you want, I can't refuse, Mom," Byanca replied with a smile.

And after that, they were ready. Without waiting for a decision from Devan. It was as if all the things that the extended family had decided would also be approved by that man.

While on the other hand, Devan had just left his room. Step on the gas to go to the airport, because soon the flight schedule to Australia.

The man was completely unaware of what was going on with his family.

Another news circulated and managed to surprise everyone.

A post from the S.S Group's official website became a public spotlight and instantly became the top search on the internet. S.S Group is one of the largest companies that houses various companies engaged in electronics, mass media, property, fashion, and several other fields. Of all these things, companies engaged in the fashion sector are the most famous, perhaps because they have many branded goods that are worldwide.

The companies that are under the auspices of the S.S group themselves are scattered in several states. From developed countries to developing countries, even if they are not spared.

No one does not know who the owner of this big company is. Just by mentioning one company name, people will only remember one name, namely 'Smith'.

Yes, the owners of the S.S group are the Smith family. The richest and most respected family in the country.

And today's upload contains an announcement regarding the heir to all of Smith's assets, as well as a notification that the contest carried out by the family is now completely discontinued.

Aaron Smith as the organizer of the competition apologizes profusely to all parties, all circles for this matter. And as an apology, on behalf of the Smith family, he awarded a large amount of cash to each person who had registered for the contest.

Aaron also hopes that the announcement will spread widely. So that everyone participating could immediately stop their search.

This was conveyed by Aaron directly through a short video.

But what was most shocking, however, was the news of the original heir to the Smith family fortune. She is a woman.

Just the name 'Claire Smith' without a photo makes people wonder and are also curious about the face of the heir.

In a white room, a woman stands facing a half-open window. Her face looks sad. The sun, which has been moving along its axis, is now a little closer to its midpoint. The clear sky was slowly covered with black clouds as far as her eyes could see adding to the sad impression in her.

Looks like it's going to rain soon.

She stood there for a long time until a knock on the door caught her attention.

Knock... knock... knock...

And at the same time, a girl appeared behind the door. Just looking at the clothes she was wearing allowed anyone to know that the girl was one of the maids in the house she was in now.

"Miss Claire, Mr. Aaron is waiting for you to have lunch downstairs," the girl said with her head lowered.

"Where's Dave?" Instead of answering, she asked another question.

"Young Master is with Mr. Aaron, Miss," the Maid replied.

"Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes," Anna replied as she waved her hand, signaling the maid to leave.

"Then I say goodbye, Miss," said the Maid and only the woman nodded. Yes, she had decided to use the name Claire from now on.

It's not that she doesn't appreciate her adoptive parents' names, it's just that there's so much hurt in that name.

Continuing to use the name 'Anna' will only make her overshadowed by all the pain and all the suffering she experienced while in Indonesia.

By using the name Claire, she hopes to become a new person, a better person than before, stronger than before, and more sincere than before.

Slowly she will try to forget him. Although she was not so sure that she could do it because every time she saw her son, her mind immediately filled with the man's face.

A few minutes later.

Claire had joined her Uncle and son at the dinner table.

"Are you okay?" asked Aaron when he saw the look on his nephew's face was a little pale.

"I'm fine, Uncle."

"Go back to your room and rest, I will ask the Maid to bring some food for you," said Aaron.

"No need, Uncle. I'm fine," said Claire refusing.

"Okay, then eat a lot," replied Aaron starting to take some of the food onto the plate and then pass it to the woman, then turned to Dave, his grandson.

This was their first meal together, since arriving in Australia, Claire was always in her room, shutting herself in, citing that her body was tired after a long journey. And Aaron had no choice but to believe it.

There was silence, only the sound of spoons and forks clashing filled the room. the three of them ate heartily, while several maids seemed to be standing right behind each of them just to make sure that the food on the table was not lacking and also to help their master take some desired menus.

"I've already announced to the public about your arrival, is it okay?" Aaron asked.

"Grandpa, finish eating first then talk to my mother. It's not good to do other things when you're eating," said Dave, turning to the man next to him with a very innocent look.

"Ah, hahaha… Yes, yes. I'm sorry, my granddaughter," Aaron replied with a crisp laugh.

"Okay then I'll finish my lunch first, how about we race, Dave?"

"Erm, great idea grandpa. Just watch I finish my food first," Dave replied while nodding enthusiastically.

Claire who saw the interaction between Aaron and Dave subconsciously smiled faintly. "Don't be in a hurry, you'll choke later," said Anna but was ignored by the two people who were with her.

"My food is finished, Grandpa," said Dave and reached for the glass of water in front of him.

"Grandpa's food is still a lot, that means I'm the champion," he added again.

The person he was talking to laughed loudly.

"Is there a present for me?" Dave asked again in all his innocence and that made Aaron laugh even more.

"Of course.. What do you want? Tell me," replied Aaron.
