Adrian Law's eyes were as deep as the night. He wrapped his long arms around the girl, gently holding her in his embrace.
"Cecilia, actually, you don't need to know everything so clearly. I'll handle the rest. That young man with the surname Zane has nothing to do with your mother. On the contrary..."
Adrian let out a gentle sigh and didn't continue speaking.
He subconsciously held Cecilia Vaughn tighter, his long, narrow eyes filled with complex emotions, as if with heartache, as if with tenderness.

Cecilia Vaughn was stunned upon hearing this.
"That Zane person has nothing to do with my mother? This... can't be... The Black Pearl Earrings were clearly my mother's relic, even though they were lost many years ago..."
She lifted her long lashes. When she met Adrian Law's extremely complex gaze, she felt a strange unease in her heart. Why was Adrian looking at her with such eyes?
