"What?"
Alma and Marvin were both stunned. Both of them gazed at Zoel suspiciously, wondering what he
meant by raising his left hand.
"Look at this." Zoel showed the thumb ring on his left thumb, which seemed to be a ring made from a Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
certain kind of wood.
The two of them glanced at each other in confusion. Alma couldn't help but ask, "What about it? It's just
a wooden ring. What do you want to introduce?"
"Let me explain to you. This is called semiagate fossil wood, also known as silicified wood. You won't
understand it even if I tell you the details, but it's definitely not ordinary wood."
Seeing that Alma and Marvin did not understand, Zoel still felt a bit frustrated.
"So what?"
Hearing his words, Alma knew that it must be valuable, but she did not know what it represented.
Zoel stood straight, picked up his phone to search for something, and then handed it to
Alma and Marvin to read.
They looked at the phone and then peered at the thumb ring on Zoel's hand. After carefully comparing
them a few times, they asked, "This is..."
Lucille was coaxing the baby on the side. Aurora had stopped crying at this time, so she also scooted
over.
Zoel cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zoel. I am from
the Parker family of C City. I am the grandson of Roger Parker, not the b*stard that you mentioned."
"Roger is your grandfather?"
Alma was still puzzled, but Marvin's tone had changed drastically.
"Who is it? Why are you so surprised?" Seeing his reaction, Alma felt that he was making a big fuss.
Alma was a materialistic person. She claimed that she knew all of the upper-class people in A City and
even in the country. She had never heard of Roger's name, so he might just be a nobody.
"Roger is the director of Rogstar Museum," Marvin explained to Alma immediately.
"What museum is that?"
Lucille had calmed down at this time. She was also a little curious when she saw Zoel introducing
himself seriously.
When he saw that she did not hear about it either, he felt frustrated. "Alas, I thought that you must be
shocked when I said that. I didn't expect that you've never heard of it!"
"Well... I'm sorry, I don't know much about this stuff." Lucille could see that he was a little sullen, so she
could only apologize.
She was confused.
"How could you not know about that?" Zoel quickly handed his phone to her. "Google it!"
Marvin was the only one who knew. "I didn't expect that you are from the Parker family. I'm sorry, my
wife was misbehaving just now."
"It's okay."
Seeing Marvin's attitude, Zoel's mood was boosted instantly.
"Parker family?" Alma pestered.
"Okay, let's go." Seeing that she was still asking questions, Marvin dragged her away without
explaining.
When they got in the car outside, Alma was pissed. "Who the hell is he? Who is this Roger? Parker
family? Does our country have such a family business?"
"Family business? You only know about family businesses!" Marvin hissed.
"What else should I know?" "Rogstar Museum is the largest private museum in our country. The Parker
family is the descendant of the royal family! Any treasure taken out from their house may cost billions of
dollars. The Parkers live in the largest private garden designed by the Paramount Company at the
seaside of C City. Although it is not as famous as huge enterprises, the wealth that they own is
absolutely no less than any large group!"
Marvin was extremely excited when he explained.
In contrast, Franklin was just a small character.
"What? He's that powerful?" As soon as Alma heard that Zoel was wealthy, she was dumbfounded. "No
wonder Lucille didn't like Franklin. It turns out that she has found someone better. Shame on her! To
hook up with the rich, she even cheated on her husband."
"That's enough. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what's going on." This time, Marvin was siding
with Lucille.
"When did I talk nonsense? And how on earth did Zoel fall in love with Lucille?"
At this moment, Alma was wondering why her daughter, Natasha, did not encounter such a good man.
"It's their own business. Let's not get involved."
Marvin felt that both Franklin and Zoel were good options for his son-in-law. Of course, Zoel was better.
In the ward, Lucille apologized to Zoel while coaxing Aurora. "I'm sorry, my father and stepmother... I
don't know why they came back."
"It's okay." Seeing that she did not ask about his identity, he questioned in disappointment, "Aren't you
curious about my identity?"
"Well... Is your grandfather the head of a museum?"
Lucille said casually as she had heard their conversation a moment ago.
"It's a private museum."
"Oh... There's a private museum in our country?"
"Yes, my family owns the only one."
Zoel always thought that if he told her his identity, she would definitely be flattered. Therefore, he had
always kept a low profile. However, when he went out, he would always wear the family ring if he did
not forget and hoped to be recognized one day...
Of course, no one had ever seen through him before.
This time, only Marvin knew about his family after he had taken the initiative to tell him.
"Oh, your family is quite impressive," Lucille uttered.
"My family is extremely powerful."
For the first time, Zoel felt that his family was a bit too low-key. He no longer had the smug feeling of
being a rich second generation. He had never been defeated like this!
"Well, I'm still embarrassed. Don't take my stepmother's words to your heart."
Lucille did not feel how extraordinary Zoel was. What she wished to do was to apologize to him.
"It's okay. I'll help you hold her for a while." He took Aurora from Lucille's arms naturally.
When he saw Aurora's cleft lip for the first time, he was a bit shocked, but he got used to it. "Aurora has
beautiful eyes. After the surgery, she will be as beautiful as you."
"You're flattering me."
Lucille sat there and watched Zoel hold Aurora in his arms. Seeing that he made a funny face to amuse
her, she felt that he would definitely become a good father in the future.
"By the way," Zoel raised his head to ask while coaxing Aurora, "The painting you left in the gallery
before you were hospitalized..."
"Oh, yes. It fell to the ground when I left, and I didn't have time to clean it up. Sorry to trouble you."
When he mentioned it, Lucille recalled that after quarreling with Franklin, the painting had fallen to the
ground. Zoel must be the one who cleaned up the mess later.
"It doesn't matter. I think you've finished the painting. Are you going to sell it?"
"Is there anyone interested in it? Well... I've been drawing for a few months, and I have put a lot of
effort into it. I love it so much. If it is only worth a few hundred or a few thousand, forget it."
In fact, Lucille was reluctant to part with the painting, but she was short of money.
She clearly knew that she and Marie couldn't stay at Abby's house forever. Abby was a freelancer and
needed a silent environment during work hours. It would be fine if she was the only one who lived
there, but with the both of them, they must have disturbed her.
