Chapter 341

Clive noticed his sister’s pale face and realized she must be heartbroken.

Although he was happily married now, he had experienced love, sadness, and despair in the past. He understood how deeply emotions could wound someone.

Clive could also see that Zachary would never love Elisa. If she continued to pursue him, she would ultimately be the one to suffer. It would be best for her to move on from Zachary as soon as possible.

He sighed and said, “Elisa, it’s not that I don’t want to help you investigate Zachary. Consider who works for him—Josh Bucham. You know the capabilities of the Buchams. Once I look into Zachary’s background, he will find out.”

“Do you really think Zachary will let me uncover anything? Also, I’ve assigned most of my subordinates to search for our aunt.”

Elisa fell silent.

She recognized the truth in her brother’s words.

Josh Bucham was employed by Zachary, and everyone in Wiltspoon was aware of the Buchams’ reputation.

“Elisa, there are plenty of good men in this world. Just forget about Zachary.”

Elisa lowered her gaze and remained quiet. Soon, tears began to stream down her face, drop by drop.

She was heartbroken.

Why was it so challenging to love someone and desire to be with them?

Clive silently wrapped his arms around his sister’s shoulders.

“Oh, Clive.”

Elisa leaned against her brother and sobbed. “Why doesn’t Zachary like me? Am I not good enough? Does he think I’m arrogant and stubborn? He only needs to tell me what he dislikes about me, and I’ll change.”

“But he hasn’t even given me a chance. Am I really that unlikable?”

Clive’s heart ached for her. “Elisa, there’s no clear reason for someone to not like another. It’s not that he doesn’t like you because you aren’t good enough. People are not like that.”

Cash can’t win everyone’s favor. Even when it comes to money, some people prefer pounds and euros over dollars.

“You are unique, and your character is innate. I believe you should live a carefree and easy life; there’s no need to change for anyone. If you do, you’ll only end up miserable, and it will distress us, your family, to see you that way.”

Elisa sobbed. “Brother, if I give up, I will feel as if I have no purpose in life.”

“Silly girl! How could you lack purpose? You can aspire to become the richest woman in Wiltspoon, or pursue further studies to improve yourself. Alternatively, you could take on the responsibility of helping our mother find our aunt. Make that your goal!”

Clive pulled a few tissues from the box and handed them to his sister. “Elisa, life is not just about love. You still have family and friends, and there are many meaningful things you can do.”

Elisa took the tissues to wipe away her tears and sniffles. “Mom and our aunt have been separated for decades. We don’t even know what our aunt looks like now. We’ve searched for so many years, but nothing useful has come up.”

“Mom has been fixated on finding her sister her entire life. As her children, we should continue doing our best to help her locate our aunt. As long as she is alive, I believe it’s only a matter of time before we find her. So, are you willing to take on this challenge?”

Elisa cried a lot and expressed the anguish in her heart. After calming down and reflecting, she said, “I’ll accept this challenge. I will definitely help Mom find our aunt!”

To forget someone, one must engage in other activities to distract oneself.

In time, Elisa would let go of her feelings for Zachary. “Clive, can you still check if Zachary is married? You don’t need to conduct a background check on him; just ask around.”

“to ask about it so that Zachary wouldn’t be notified.”

Clive was left speechless.

Despite his lengthy and detailed speech, his sister remained undeterred.

Zachary was indifferent to whether Elisa thought he was married. Once he returned to the office, he was preoccupied with work. At 10:30, he left early without waiting for Serenity’s call. He drove the national MPV he had used to mislead Serenity and headed directly to Wiltspoon School. Along the way, he stopped the car when he spotted a florist.
