Older netizens quickly jumped in to educate the uninformer.
The Price family had risen to prominence in the previous . After the founding of the nation, the first–ever central bank governor had come from the Price family. Priscilla, now 47 years old, was the adopted daughter of the Price family.
25 years ago, her entanglement with the three Price brothers was enough to fill a million–word novel of love and tragedy. In the end, Priscilla locked her heart away and took over Price Nation.
She watched as her three brothers met their fates–one crippled, one lost to madness, and one renouncing the world to become a priest.
Priscilla had been the most prominent female powerhouse of her time, with the media hailing her as the dawn of the “Era of the Strong Woman“.
To this day, she had never married, nor had she ever had biological children. Instead, she had adopted and nurtured countless girls across the globe, many of whom had become influential figures in various industries.
Abel and Benjamin stood waiting at the VIP terminal entrance of Capitol International Airport. Abel was holding a bouquet of fresh red roses, his neck craning as he eagerly scanned the crowd.
Meanwhile, Benjamin stood with his hands in his pockets, casually chewing gum. He blew and popped bubbles one after another, with each small “pop” irritating Abel’s nerves.
Abel finally snapped, “Can you stop making that noise?”
He shot Benjamin a glare before adding, “I’m here to pick up Priscilla. What are you doing here?”
A teasing glint flickered in Benjamin’s fox–like eyes. “I just wanted to see if your precious first love might actually turn out to be my mother.”
Abel was just about to retort when his gaze was abruptly captured by a striking figure stepping through the VIP
exil
A woman in a sleek black suit dress emerged. Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her lips were painted a fiery red.
She removed her sunglasses, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face–one untouched by time. Her features were full and radiant, her gaze was sharp as lightning, and she was exuding an air of undeniable dominance and allure.
Her four–inch platform heels clicked against the polished floor as she strode forward with the grace of a supermodel on a runway.
“Pris!”
The moment Abel saw her, his eyes became utterly transfixed.

Priscilla was followed by six tall, strong men dressed in matching uniforms, each pushing a sleek black 30–inch suitcase. They moved in perfect sync, resembling top runway models in a fashion show.
Benjamin walked alongside Abel as they approached her.
“Ms. Priscilla,” he greeted her, his gaze lingering on Priscilla’s face. To his surprise, the woman bore a striking resemblance to Elara.
Priscilla noticed Benjamin staring and gave him a slow, assessing glance from head to toe. “Benjamin, you’re 27 now, aren’t you?”
Benjamin nodded. “Yeah. I just turned 27.
Sliding her sunglasses back onto her face, Priscilla responded smoothly, “You’re too old now. I only have an interest in pure young men under 25.”
Benjamin’s brow furrowed before he let out a cold laugh”
Just then, a dozen business elites carrying bouquets and gift bags swarmed toward them from all directions.
“Pris! Welcome back!”
“Priscilla, do you remember me? Back on the Lovers Bank, we vowed to be together forever…”
Surrounded by admirers, Priscilla accepted their gifts with practiced ease. Then, peeking out from the crowd, she called out, “Abel, come with me. I have something to discuss with you.”
She had chosen him, out of all these people, to accompany her. Abel’s heart pounded with excitement at the thought, and there was a grin tugging at his lips as he climbed into Priscilla’s car.
He failed to notice the pale figure hiding in the distance, watching the scene unfold. Daphne bit down on her finger as tears streamed down her face. “Abel…”
“Pris, I knew you still had feelings for me.”
Abel shifted closer to Priscilla inside the car, and their thighs were now pressing together.
Her icy eyes contrasted sharply with the sweet lilt in her voice. “Abel, we’ve been close for years, no? I flew all the
way
back just for you!”
