He knew that he did not have the ability to save his daughter and that he might not even be able to reach the place where his daughter was currently being detained. However, he hoped that he would be able to be closer to her. That way, he would be able to replace some comfort in his heart.

Just as he was feeling very restless and anxious, there was suddenly a knock on his door.

Yolden's chaotic thoughts were forcibly interrupted, and he could only walk to the door as he stretched out his hand to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, he saw a young and fashionable woman standing outside his door, but the woman was wearing a mask. He could not see her appearance, so he asked in surprise, "Hello. May I know what I can do for you?" 2

Yolden did not recognize his daughter, who was standing in front of him.

It was not to say that Yolden and his daughter were unfamiliar with each other, but in his memory, his daughter, Autumn, would not usually wear this kind of fashionable and feminine clothing. Although Autumn was not really a tomboy, her

dressing style had always been very simple and plain. She rarely wore dresses. Moreover, since she was a Stanford University graduate, her dressing style had always been the same as those programmers in Silicon Valley. She would wear a T-shirt paired off with a pair of jeans during the summer, and she would wear a sweater and down jacket paired off with jeans during winter. 3

As for the woman in front of him, at first glance, she was clearly the kind of woman who was very elegant and cared very much about her dressing. She had a completely different style compared to Autumn. Furthermore, Yolden did not think that it could possibly be his own daughter. After all, in his subconscious mind, his daughter was still in Syria, which was thousands of kilometers away. So, it would simply be impossible for her to suddenly appear in front of him.

Autumn did not expect that her father would not recognize her at all.

She stared at Yolden up and down, and in addition to the surprised expression on her face, she was also trying to hint at him through her eyes.

However, Yolden was not in the mood to carefully try and figure out the meaning in her eyes.

When he saw that the woman in front of him was simply staring at him without speaking, Yolden did not have the patience to continue wasting his time here. So, he spoke up directly, "If there is nothing that I can help you with, please leave."

After he was done speaking, Yolden closed the door directly.

Autumn, who was outside the door, was also dumbfounded.

She never would have dreamt that her father would not be able to recognize her just because she was wearing a mask.

Moreover, he not only failed to recognize her, but he had even closed the door on her! 3

Charlie, who was leaning against the wall at this time, had a faint smile on his face as he looked at her and asked in a low voice, "So, are you convinced now?"

Autumn was fuming as she said, "What's the big deal?! At most, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, then."

Charlie waved his hand and said, "I cannot make it. I have to go home tonight. My wife is still waiting for me at home."

Autumn asked in surprise, "You... you're married?"

Charlie nodded. "I've already been married for four years."

Autumn suddenly felt a little emptiness in her heart. However, she quickly regained her composure as she spoke up, "Well, alright then. We can talk about having a meal together another day. Anyway, I'll be staying in Aurous Hill to work for you in the future. So, I'll be able to honor my bet at any time." 6

Charlie smiled slightly. "Okay. We'll remember this meal first."

After that, he pointed at Yolden's office door before he smiled and said, "So, would you like to give your father another chance?"

Autumn raised her hand in a fit of annoyance as she knocked on the door again.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Yolden, who was in the office, was obviously a little irritated at this time, and he was a little sullen as he opened the door. When he saw that it was still the same woman from before, he spoke up sourly and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Autumn stomped her feet angrily as she took off her mask directly and blurted out, "Yolden Hart! You cannot even recognize your own biological daughter anymore?!" 5
