Chapter 199 - Please behave, sister
It had been a long time, but Joan could never forget her half-sister’s green eyes, which she inherited from her father.
Alex had also mentioned that she was alive and working with Salvatore’s men, so could it be her? If it was, did it mean Alex was also close by?
Before she could ask, the girl spoke. "Call me Beauty. I am here to protect you, but you have to do as I say."
Her sister was Nancy, so where did the name Beauty come from? What if this wasn’t related to Alex? "How can I trust you?" Joanna asked, her gaze fixed on the girl who did not stop cleaning as she spoke.
"This isn’t the ideal place for a family reunion, but what you should know is that Alex is aware that I’m here."
The more she spoke and the more Joanna stared at her, the more convinced she was that this was indeed someone she knew.
No matter the toughness and the visible changes, some things could still not be ignored.
"Alex informed me that my sister wasn’t killed like I thought. Are you her?" She was overwhelmed with so much emotion that made her want to embrace her sister, but as soon as she rose to her feet, Nancy took a step back.
"Please behave, sister. Anyone could come in at any moment, but Alex will be here in about twelve hours. Before then, I have to keep you safe because he and his men will bring down this place."
Joanna understood that as much as she wanted to embrace her sister, it was impossible at the moment, but Nancy smiled. It had been a long time, but she recognized her sister the moment she saw her, though she had been informed by Dario.
Childhood memories she tried to forget flooded in, but she ensured to keep them all at bay.
