One thing that Robert hates the most… he hates seeing his dear sister cry. But… he couldn't control his anger at all because Kaylee was hiding the fact that she was still alive while Roxanne and his aunt and uncle suffered from her disappearance.

Not only that, his uncle's most proud disciple and successor of the mafia organization in Europe became more rampant and almost killed Roxanne eight years ago. Since then, the young man has been making trouble here and there without restraints because Hades III was more focused on his daughter, who survived.

Just as their enemy wanted… the forces within Hades' organization had faltered, and things got even more complicated when they heard that Hades III decided to resign and move to North America.

They all knew that the plane crash was suspicious, and they discovered traces of the culprit. When they found the location of the perpetrator, they found the person dead.

In the end, they were back to zero and had no idea who had targeted Roxanne so neatly that it was undetected.

Losing a daughter he loved very much, Mr. Zouch didn't want to risk letting his daughter live in a dangerous land.

It was no wonder that he decided to take over Zouch's banking business which is his alternative identity, when he decided to leave the Hades organization.

On the other hand, the Larsons were alternative identities for Wendy and Nicholas, while their birth father remained on Folkland Island and became Hades IV.

Now, even though he saw the tears of his beloved cousin, Robert felt neither guilt nor pity. If Kaylee had contacted them directly eight years ago, all the suffering her uncle and Roxy had gone through would not have happened.

"I'm sorry… I… I've been selfish… I didn't think ahead… when I decided to disappear for good. I…"

"Kaylee, it's not me you should be begging for. The suffering I have experienced was not as big as what your parents or your sister endured."

Kaylee wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said while sobbing, "What… what should I do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I…" she wanted to return to her family. She wanted to apologize to them for making them suffer. She wanted to tell them she was alive and well, but…

Kaylee didn't want to go back to America. She was used to living in this place and having her own business. Even though what she currently achieved was not her true dream, she was already satisfied.

After all… she aspired to be a professional pianist to get that person's attention. But that person didn't pay attention to her at all and could only look at her sister.

Why did she force herself to struggle to be a pianist when she could be a cellist who is no less talented than Roxy?

"I… I don't know." Kaylee answered honestly while shaking her head.

Kaylee felt sad and couldn't stop the tears coming out like a fountain. Furthermore, her cousin, who used to dote on her and coaxed her every time she cried, was indifferent at her.

She felt… she was a stranger to that man. However, Robert proved her thought was wrong.

The man approached her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Like a father comforting his weeping daughter, Robert gently patted Kaylee's back and spoke in a soft voice.

"If you're still not ready to return, I'll help you keep your whereabouts a secret."

Kaylee gripped her cousin's shirt tightly when she heard that. "Why?"

Because they still don't know who was behind the plane crash. If Kaylee suddenly appeared at Zouch's residence and there were spies from their enemies who noticed her, there was no guarantee that a similar accident would not happen again. And this time… they were going to lose one of the sisters for good.

"No reason. After all, your sister's condition is much better than before. Slowly they have found the calm and peace that they had never had while living in the Folkland. But… your appearance playing the cello here is enough to worry me."

Kaylee moved back to look at her cousin's face, which looked a little blurry as her eyes filled with tears.

"My appearance?"

"How do you think I was able to find you? Two days ago I received a photo from my friend who was on their honeymoon in this country. He came to this cafe and recognized you."

Kaylee lowered her face sadly. She knew some visitors had stolen photos of her playing the cello. She doesn't mind if one or two idolized her and told their friends where her cafe is.

Her visitors could be a great marketing tool to increase the cafe's popularity.

But… she didn't expect her photo to reach the other continent.

"Have you ever heard of Roe's name?" Robert wiped her tears gently with his thumb.

"Roe? Of course, I've heard her. She is a pianist from New York, and many music academies in Europe would like to…." her words paused as she thought of something. "Don't tell me… Roe is sister Roxy?"

"Smart girl. It seems I have underestimated you all this time."

"It's not important. How can Roe be Roxy? I've seen her picture once, but she's not Roxy."

"She's altered her appearance. She found a talented make-up artist to make her look like someone else. Even if Roe's photo spreads to the ends of the world, no one will ever recognize her as your father's daughter."

"That… that is impossible."

"Even though she thought she is you, her naughty ideas always kicked in and made me have a headache. Ah, there's something else that's hard to believe. She disguised herself as Nico to take his place in college."

"What? Why did she do it?"

Robert chuckled when he saw that Kaylee wasn't crying anymore. "Want to hear more about her?"

Kaylee seemed hesitant to answer, but she nodded her head once.

"But you also have to tell me."

"About what?"

"Your life. I never thought you'd be able to own a coffee shop of your own. I didn't even know you were interested in opening up a coffee shop.

Kaylee smiled hearing that and pulled her cousin's hand to sit together, and the two of them chatted with each other.
