The weather in N City in December was cold and dry, and the winds that blew were blisteringly cold.

Lisa looked at these familiar streets, and for a moment it was as if she was dreaming.

The road to Shanhe Manor Area was still quite devoid of any passersby except for the occasional luxury car that drove by, bringing along with them several withered leaves.

The gates to Manoban Estate had been refurbished after they were struck by lightning, but it didn't look as nice as before, instead giving someone a sense of bleakness.

"Beauty Lisa, let me do it for you." The system spirit made its way over to the gates before ringing the doorbell.

Someone came to the gates quickly, and Lisa recognized him as the butler that always followed behind Master Manoban.

The old butler seemed to be hard of vision and not in the best spirits either, and when he opened the door, it took quite a while to recognize who it was, and he exclaimed in a trembling tone, "S-Second Miss!"

At first, when she was brought here, the butler and the rest of the staff didn't care much about her and even had a slight dislike towards her.

After everything Eunha did had been revealed, however, they came to the late realization that Lisa was the one that was the victim in that scenario and that they were the ones in the wrong. It was true, what she said-If someone had the choice, who would be willing to be an illegitimate daughter?

In the end, the Manoban family was the one that had given her hope, then nipped all of it in the bud.

It was only an inevitability that Manoban Enterprise would be acquired by Nine Heavens, and another inevitability that it would be in such a situation when it lost its most suitable heir, but at least the members of the Manoban family didn't have to sleep on the streets.

The old butler rubbed his eyes before he spoke in an anxious tone, "Second Miss, please leave! Don't come back here again, okay?"

"I already told you people that I didn't belong to the Manoban family anymore after that day. You can just call me Miss Lalisa." Upon saying this, Lisa walked into Manoban Manor. "What happened?"

"You can't come in here, Second Miss!" Upon seeing her come in, the butler was greatly horrified. "Quick, leave before they come here! Please, Second Miss!"

As he said so, he tried to tug Lisa out of the property.

The gates weren't far away from the manor, and it was quite easy to hear the commotion from inside the manor. With a walking stick in hand, Master Manoban made his way out with some difficulty. "Butler, what happened?"

In a mere few months, Master Manoban's physical and mental state seemed to have deteriorated greatly, to the point where he couldn't even walk properly with a walking stick, his limbs trembling weakly.

"Master, Second Miss is back! I warned her not to come in but she didn't listen to me!" The butler replied in dismay.

"You... What are you doing here? Leave, leave while you can!" Master Manoban's expression turned into one of horror, his eyes bulging as he held his chest.

Lisa tugged on her jacket before looking at Master Manoban with a calm expression as she ordered daintily and walked into the manor, "Butler, please help Master Manoban into the manor."

Upon seeing her actually enter the building both Master Manoban and the butler reacted as if their very souls were sucked out of their bodies.

"You... Foolish!" The butler took out some pills and fed them to Master Manoban, and the latter could finally breathe properly after that, but he only knocked his walking stick on the lacquered floor as tears flowed out of his eyes. "The butler told you to stay away, why did you still come in here?! You have always been stubborn, but stepping in here spells your doom!"
