Chapter 5

• Araceli POV
• Silver Fang was located in a villa area on the Upper East Side.
• Many wealthiest New Yorkers lived here, and this place got a lot of art galleries and designer shopping malls. It was a symbol of luxury and status.
• The butler respectfully led the way. I led Krish and Valeria inside.
• "Araceli, you're finally back..."
• Veronica waited at the entrance of the villa for a long time. When she saw me walk in, her eyes filled with tears.
• Veronica Felton was my grandma. She was one of the few family members in this world who really cared about me.
• Veronica whimpered, "Araceli, you're finally back... These years have been so difficult for all of us, and you really have a hard time getting through it."
• "Grandma..."
• I leaned on Veronica's shoulder and felt a moment of peace that I hadn't felt in a long time. I could finally let down my guard and stop living in fear this moment.
• In this world, Veronica was the only person I still cared about.
• I live in a small town in France. Veronica still sent someone to find me and told me to come back.
• I knew that most people in Silver Fang, except Veronica, would not welcome me, so I delayed it again and again.
• "Krish and Valeria, right? They're so cute."
• Veronica bent down and touched Krish and Valeria's faces.
• Krish smiled gently, "Grandma, I'm glad to meet you. I've heard a lot about you from Mommy."
• However, Valeria felt a stranger's smell and took a wary step back.
• Veronica knew Valeria's autism, so she sighed and said, "I've contacted the best doctor in New York. We can send Valeria over in a few days for a checkup."
• I nodded, took the kids and followed Veronica towards the villa.
• The members of Silver Fang were in the living room.
• This was Silver Fang's old house, so the members who could live here were all full-blooded, including the uncles who were related to me by blood. They lived here with their wives and children.
• I looked up and saw familiar faces. My cousin, Evelin Felton, sat in the middle of the couch.
• "Mom, why did Grandma suddenly ask us to come back?" I heard Evelin say with some impatience.
• Evelin was 27 years old and had long been married.
• My eldest uncle's wife, Madyson Hanbury, took a sip of tea and replied to Evelin, "Perhaps this conversation is about her will."
• "Her will?"
• Evelin's eyes lit up.
• I knew she was excited at this point and thought she could get some of Silver Fang's property as well.
• Everyone else had a greedy gleam in their eyes when they heard the words.
• I knew they were thinking about how much money and shares Veronica would give them.
• At this time, Veronica and I walked in.
• They froze when they saw me. All of them were staring at me without blinking.
• I frowned slightly.
• Evelin stared at me for a moment, shocked.
• Suddenly, she smiled brightly and walked towards me. "Araceli! I can't believe you're still alive. This is incredible!"
• Veronica gently patted me on the back to give me courage.
• I smiled calmly, not feeling the least bit nervous.
• I greeted each and every one of them politely.
• After that, there was dead silence. No one dared to speak.
• "Araceli." Madyson said to me with an incredulous look on her face, "Didn't you die five years ago?"
• "Nonsense!" Veronica's face suddenly turned gloomy. "Araceli is not dead. She just went to live abroad. I didn't want too many people to know about it, so I kept it hidden."
• Silver Fang's members' eyes widened, and their mouths opened wide in shock.
• I sneered and didn't say anything. I knew Veronica was protecting me.
• Madyson's gaze fell on Krish and Valeria. "Araceli, are they your children? Do you know who their father is? If they are bastards, our family's reputation will be ruined!"
• My eyes suddenly turned cold.
• I looked down at Madyson and said, "Madyson, I remember you were pregnant with Evelin before you married into Silver Fang back then. Do you mean that Evelin is also a bastard?"
• Madyson was so angry that her eyes seemed to be on fire. "Shut up! You bitch! How dare you speak to us like this? We're your family!"
• I smiled calmly and raised my eyebrows.
• "Oh, calm down, Madyson. There is no need to be so angry. You'll have plenty of opportunities to be angry with me in the future. I mean, you really have to take care of your health. Don't get pissed off and then die suddenly."
• Madyson was enraged and yelled, "What did you say? Bitch, watch your mouth! You know what, fuck you, and I'm going to make you regret what you just said!"
• Madyson's eyes were burning, as if she was going to show her fangs and bite me to death in the next moment.
• "That's enough!" Veronica shouted.
• The living room instantly fell silent.
• Veronica looked at every person in the living room. "If I hear anyone cursing Araceli and her two children again, I will punish them severely according to our pack's rules!"
• Everyone stopped talking at once, but they weren't convinced. I knew they would do anything to make things difficult for me.
• My mother was Silver Fang's only daughter. She got a lot of things from Veronica when she was a little girl.
• She later married my father, Zackary Chancey, and received a large sum of money from Silver Fang.
• Veronica loved my mother so much and gave her everything she could.
• However, no one would have thought that my mother would die not long after that.
• Now, I was back. This created a powerful sense of crisis for all the members of Silver Fang.
• I knew everyone was mad with jealousy, but I didn't care.
