From that time on, the express train from Auroville to the south can reach Boulder City in just one hour, even skipping the transfer step.

Alyssa stood at the door of her house with her suitcase, feeling a little homesick for a moment, but she still mustered up the courage to go forward and knock on the door.

The door opened slowly.

However, what Alyssa didn't expect was that it was her eldest brother standing at the door.

The tall and thin man wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the sternness between his eyebrows was even more like her father than her father.

Although their family has fallen into decline, the tiger in trouble is still a tiger after all.

Especially the eldest son of the Malvern family. Even though he no longer talks about the family's revival, he still has a sense of nobility and calmness about him that the drunkards in Boulder City don't have.

Being stared at by that sharp gaze, Alyssa instinctively shrank her neck, but in the end she straightened her back.

She is no longer the little girl who could do nothing without help.

Now she not only has a group of reliable partners, she is her own strength.

As if he noticed her growth, his sharp gaze gradually softened a little.

Wolfit said in a gentle tone.

"came back?"

"Um……"

Alyssa nodded cautiously, quietly moved the suitcase an inch toward the threshold, and whispered greetings.

"How are you?"

Ever since he slapped her in the square that day, the two of them had never communicated face to face like this again, and they only kept communicating through letters.

Wolfit looked at her with complicated eyes, filled with relief, guilt, and many unspeakable things.

But maybe he didn't know how he opened his mouth. He finally swallowed those words back in his throat and just said it calmly.

"I, it's okay...what about you? Are you still getting used to it?"

"Well! I'm fine!"

Seeing that her brother finally talked more to her, Alyssa finally showed a heartfelt smile on her face and happily started talking.

"Since I went to Camp 101, I have learned a lot of things I have never heard of before, and I have made many friends..."

Looking at his cheerful sister, a sincere smile appeared on Wolfit's face, and he stretched out his hand to bring in the suitcase that had quietly slid to the threshold.

"Stop standing at the door...come in and talk."

"Um!"

Nodding her head vigorously, Alyssa happily entered the door, chattering about her experiences at Camp 101 along the way.

Hearing her daughter's voice, Grace, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran out of the kitchen excitedly and hugged Alice in her arms.

"Alyssa! My baby girl, mother misses you so much! You are suffering outside!"

There were some wrinkles on that charming face.

Perhaps because of the ups and downs she has experienced in her family, or perhaps because of the ups and downs of life, the originally graceful and luxurious woman has gradually turned into an ordinary old woman.

Looking at her much older mother, Alyssa's nose couldn't help but feel slightly sore.

If she had to say who she felt sorry for the most, it would probably be her own family.

However, she actually didn't have much choice...just like many people who stood with her that night.

Should we adapt to the changes of the times, or be run over by the wheels of history?

Standing at a precarious crossroads, she was still young and could only make choices based on her own heart.

"Mom...I'm living a good life outside...how about you? Are you still getting used to life?"

Looking at her daughter's tender face, Gnis's face showed a comfortable smile, and she squeezed it lovingly.

"Mom is very good. Your dad and I have long been used to it. By the way, mom has learned a lot of good dishes recently... You and your brother wait for a while, and I will bring it out for you to try later!"

"Yes!" Holding back the tears that filled her eyes, Alyssa nodded vigorously.

After kissing her daughter on the cheek, Grace returned to the kitchen and prepared dinner dishes with her eldest daughter-in-law.

Not only her mother, but her sister-in-law also came out of the shadow of the past.

However, it was obvious that she had not forgiven her, she just did not fall out because of the face of her relatives.

This is also something that can't be helped.

"Dad will be back from the library soon. Let's go to the living room." Wolfit gently patted his sister's shoulder and led her out of the corridor in front of the kitchen.

The two went to the living room and sat in front of the TV and chatted for a long time until their father, Melvin, came back from the Boulder City Library.

Although today is a holiday, Malvern is used to staying in the library sorting documents, and will stay there all day regardless of whether it is working time or not.

Seeing his daughter who suddenly came home, Malvern's reaction was not as strong as that of Grace. He just repeatedly murmured words like "grew up" and "grow taller" in surprise. His incoherent and dull look made the family happy.

Everyone was so amused that they giggled.

Finally it's time to eat.

It was only when Alyssa was sitting at the dining table that she learned from her mother that during the time when she was away studying, her eldest brother actually went on a long trip to open a branch business in Kingallen Port on behalf of Boulder City Bank.

Due to his outstanding business performance in the local area, he has risen from an accountant to the vice president of the Golden Gallen Port Branch.

Now that the business at the Kingallen Port Branch has matured, he has been transferred back from the Bank's headquarters in Boulder City, preparing to be sent to the Bugra Free State to open up new business and participate in the local debt restructuring.

This time, he will take up the post as branch president.

It is commendable that Boulder City Bank did not deliberately suppress her eldest brother's promotion because of his sensitive identity.

And her eldest brother reciprocated the favor and turned down many olive branches offered by other banks... Even if he changes jobs with this excellent resume, he may have better development.

According to Wolfit, the civil war in Bugra was completely won by the citizens, who trampled under their feet the "corporate dogs" who once rode on their heads to dominate.

However, what is different from the past is that Otto did not immediately support a new company to replace the Firestone Group. Instead, he introduced the "Anti-Monopoly Law" despite all the pressure, banned the chaotic private armed forces, and brought order to the out-of-control order.

Restandardize.

This is a good opportunity for "revenge" for Boulder City.

Bugla had taken advantage of the turmoil in Boulder City to bite off a large piece of meat from them, but at that time they could do nothing but helpless.

Now, now and then, it is Boulder City's turn to recover the debt with interest.

Of course, this has nothing to do with ordinary local citizens. It is mainly aimed at the Firestone Group and those garbage people who took advantage of the situation and robbed the wealth of the residents of Boulder City.

Those jackals that eat people without spitting out bones are the common enemies of the citizens of Bugra and the residents of Stonehenge.

No matter how eloquently these house animals in captivity spin lies about how humans and wolves should unite, no one will listen to their nonsense anymore.

Seeing her grown-up brother and the high-spirited look reappearing on his face, Alyssa was also very happy.

Although the process was full of twists and turns, at least the final result was not bad.

Looking at the genuine smiles on her family's faces, she suddenly found that the barriers between herself and her family had melted away a lot.

Even her sister-in-law, who never looked directly at her, softened her attitude a little.

Time is really a good medicine.

Unknowingly, they all felt less guilty about each other.

"Speaking of which...where's Ji Xiu?" She suddenly thought of her second brother, if only he were here.

Upon hearing his brother's name, Wolfit's originally high-spirited expression dimmed slightly, with a hint of complexity in his brows.

"I don't know, that guy just seemed to have disappeared from the world... I did ask about it, but there was no news. I only heard that he went east after leaving Boulder City."

When he said this, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

"This cowardly idiot... I don't know what's going on in his head."

Seeing his mother's slightly trembling shoulders, Wolfit suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he did not want to take it back. He just glanced aside silently.

"Maybe he went back to the ideal city... let him do it himself." Malvern muttered, as if he didn't want to mention his youngest son's name.

That was the only shame the Malvern family had not washed away.

However, it was his own flesh and blood after all, and he really couldn't say harsh words to that bastard.

If I have to blame him, I can only blame myself for not teaching him well.

Wolfit coughed slightly, turned his gaze to Alyssa, and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Me..." Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and faced her brother's stern eyes, she accidentally lowered her voice, "In addition to the management courses, I have recently been helping my teacher organize historical documents... He

Said I am very talented in this area."

Wolfit raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who is your teacher?"

Alyssa answered truthfully.
