Year Five The Perfect Goodbye Plan novel Chapter 294

That can’t be right.

Wasn’t Jewel still in Sylvaris? How could she suddenly show up in Capital City?

Could it be—she’s back?!

The thought made Silvia’s expression flicker. Her brows knitted in an anxious frown.

After everything that happened to Jewel abroad, did she really dare come back, knowing she could get arrested? And what reason would she even have to return now?

“I don’t know you,” Silvia said, her voice icy and measured, as if Jewel were a stranger to her.

Jewel let out a throaty laugh, then replied, “So I come all this way, and you’re not even planning to see me? Silvia, when you were little and burning with fever, who rushed you to the hospital? Have you forgotten all of that?”

She hadn’t always treated Silvia well, that much was true. But most of the time, Jewel had looked after her like a daughter—just a bit more strictly than most.

A shadow crossed Jewel’s eyes as she remembered the past. If only she’d kept Silvia by her side all these years… Maybe things would have turned out differently.

“I only know that the person who switched my life with Vianne’s is the real culprit.”

With that, Silvia hung up.

She stared at the stack of paperwork in front of her, determined to focus on work, but Jewel’s face kept flashing through her mind no matter how hard she tried to concentrate.

The whole afternoon slipped by without any real progress. By the time Silvia got home that night, a restless heaviness clung to her.

Kent noticed her mood the moment she walked in.
