Not far away, a pleasant voice reached my ears.
I followed the sound.
There were two figures.
The one in the black suit with gold-rimmed glasses and a faint smile on his lips should be my eldest brother - I heard he's a top investment advisor and the most successful one among us all - Mathew Navis.
It was rumored that his werewolf abilities were tied to his financial acumen, allowing him to sense market trends like a predator sensing its prey.
The one in the white shirt, with cuffs buttoned meticulously must be my second brother - Nill Navis, an artist.
Among the werewolf community, his art was said to be influenced by his connection to the moon, each stroke carrying the essence of the lunar magic.
Both were incredibly handsome. The Navis family genes were truly remarkable!
I lifted the corners of my mouth.
In a sugary voice, I said, "Big brother, second brother."
"Big brother, second brother."
I was taken aback.
Why was there an echo?
I turned my head and met the gaze beside me. Huh?
Could this be my twin brother, the third in line -
Daniel Navis furrowed his brows and gave me another once-over. He sneered, "Bad luck."
After Daniel Navis spoke, he immediately turned around and walked towards Mathew Navis.
Well, I knew it wouldn't be easy to be recognized into the family.
I silently pulled my luggage, following at a respectful distance.
"Third brother." Mathew Navis still had that smile on his lips, and his gaze behind the glasses landed on Daniel Navis.
"Do you think it's appropriate to let your sister carry her luggage alone?"
Nill Navis, standing beside him, gave Daniel Navis a cool look but remained silent.
Daniel Navis's body stiffened slightly, and then he turned around, cursing under his breath.
He walked up to me and snarled, "Give it to me!"
That expression of his, well, it was like a robber's.
I looked at Mathew Navis, and he smiled at me, nodding.
His voice was gentle, "Welcome home, sister."
Next to him, Nill Navis also nodded at me, Alice.
I smiled in return, my voice sweet, "Thank you, big brother. Thank you, second brother."
"I'm the one who's helping you with the luggage," came a gritted voice beside me.
I nodded, still smiling sweetly and obediently, "Thank you, third brother."
Daniel Navis let out a cold snort.
He grabbed the handle of the luggage and attempted to hoist it onto his shoulder.
"Third brother, this is really heavy..."
"Hmph, a little girl's stuff, how could it possibly-"
In the next instant, Daniel Navis was thrown over the luggage as if it were a skilled wrestler. He landed with a resounding thud on the ground.
I pursed my lips gently. Seeing his grimacing expression, I said meekly, "I told you it was heavy..."
Daniel Navis was quick to get back up. "Are you crazy?Silver ingots?"
"Just... a girl's things..."
Daniel Navis, "..."
"Actually, if you can't carry it, you can roll it," I said after a moment of silence.
Seeing his expression turn even more sour, I added, "I meant the wheels."
A soft chuckle came from behind.
Mathew Navis patted my head gently.
"Don't mind him. Mom and Dad are waiting at home."
I nodded obediently and trotted along behind him.
The Navis family's residence was indeed in a remote area, with a self - built house standing tall.
Although the house was quite spacious, the gaudy tile decorations gave it a rather rustic look.
It was quite strange.
Elizabeth had previously endured a severe hurricane disaster, and David Goden had rushed to bring her back.
Now, looking at this house, it seemed to have been newly renovated.
Not far behind the self - built house was a cattle pen.
Presumably, the Navis family had raised cattle to put the three brothers through college.
I looked at my beautiful mother, my elegant and handsome eldest brother, my cool and delicate second brother, and my cool and good - looking third brother, and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Wooooo... my precious daughter!!!"
A tall figure rushed towards me like a bolt of lightning and began to wail loudly.
My father, with snot and tears streaming down his face, looked me up and down. After making sure I was safe and sound, he continued to sob.
"My precious daughter, you've suffered all these years!!! It was my fault for swapping you at birth. Waaaaah!!!"
I cleared my throat softly and tried to comfort him.
"Well, it wasn't exactly suffering..."
"Hmph."
Daniel Navis suddenly let out a contemptuous sneer.
"Of course it wasn't suffering. The Goden family raised her like a delicate little princess. She probably only came back when she was desperate."
My father was taken aback and looked at me. "My dear daughter... Do you really not want to come back?"
My mother's gaze also landed on me, filled with worry.
I shot Daniel Navis a glare. This guy, my twin brother, was truly a stumbling block on my path to being recognized by the family.
"No." I shook my head and replied truthfully. "Nowhere is better than home."
My father burst into tears again and was then dragged by my mother to the kitchen to cook.
I looked at my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother in front of me, and we all stared at each other in silence.
"Come on, you don't have to pretend in front of us."
Daniel Navis finally spoke up, slouching lazily in his chair and looking at me.
"Alice said before that you didn't want to come back and even drove her away. What's the deal? Did the Goden family abandon you, so you finally decided to come back?"
"Daniel Navis."
"This is the truth! This Alice Goden is just acting obedient! Can't you two see, big brother and second brother?"
"Third brother." I called out to remind him. "My name is Alice Navis."
"Hmph, don't think that you-"
"Daniel Navis."
Mathew Navis's gaze swept over.
"If you're so unhappy, you can get out."
Daniel Navis deflated completely.
I blinked and looked at Mathew Navis, realizing. This was my backer.
I gave a sweet smile. "Thank you, big brother."
