Chapter 400: A Possible Cure
Kelly quickly turned to her and said, "Oh, he told me a lot about you too! Like how you’re great at cooking... he said you’re the best. And how skilled you are at makeup, even disguising people as whoever they want to look like. Clifford even won a school event because you helped him copy that famous artist, Steven!"
Sanya chuckled. "Oh, he didn’t want to join that contest, but his classmates pushed him into it. He was already a hunk by then," Sanya said with a grin.
William turned to Rain and suddenly asked, "Sis, I’ve been meaning to ask this... Brandon won’t tell me, so I’ll just ask you. I’m curious, what was the case you worked on to convince Brandon to take you on his team?"
All eyes turned to Rain.
"Right, you were only fifteen back then. You never told us the full story. You just said you volunteered and Brandon had no choice since it was an emergency," Sanya pondered aloud.
Rain gulped, feeling the weight of their stares. She hadn’t told anyone the truth before. "The case was about teenagers being kidnapped, and they needed bait, so I volunteered. They needed someone with a tracker for them to locate. They couldn’t find anyone willing, and I overheard how dire the situation was while I was still detained from the gambling den they busted... so I made a deal with Brandon."
"Oh, right. Rain was good at gambling. Even if I didn’t want to, she’d ask me to do her makeup so she’d look like a mature woman. She even faked an ID to get into those places," Sanya commented. "And the money she earned from it? Clifford managed to grow it in stocks," Sanya continued. "Looking back, who would’ve imagined that at your young age-"
"Oh, please, that’s enough," Ivan, who had been quiet until now, interrupted. "Rain is very successful now. Look where she is... this institute is hers. Although Clifford and I have shares, Rain is still the major owner. She persevered despite everything, and that’s what matters."
But Sanya’s glare at Ivan was deadly. "Doc, did you really have to cut me off like that?"
