Chapter 538

Evelyn stared at the name for a long time.

Her fingertip slid across the screen.

She continued scrolling through the information.

Then her expression became somewhat subtle.

Alexander noticed her unusual demeanor and turned his head.

"What's wrong?"

Evelyn handed her phone to him.

Alexander looked down.

The screen displayed a detailed personal file.

Name: Natalie Castillo.

Date of Birth: Twenty-five years ago.

Family Relations: Sister of Anthony Castillo.

Alexander was silent for a few seconds.

He cleared his throat softly.

"The name does indeed contain 'Sterling'."

"The timing also matches."

Evelyn almost laughed out loud.

"But her surname is Castillo."

"She is Anthony Castillo's biological sister."

Among all the women on the list who were close to Anthony Castillo, only Natalie Castillo's name contained the character 'Sterling'.

And this person was the least likely to marry Anthony Castillo.

Evelyn rubbed her temples.

She carefully reviewed the list again.

There were quite a few women on the list.

Apart from those young ladies from prominent New York families whose whereabouts were clear, the status of the others was still under investigation.

Alexander pondered for a moment.

"Perhaps the 'Sterling' character is just a coincidence."

"If the other party is truly from the Sterling Family, they probably wouldn't reveal their identity so easily."

Evelyn nodded.

The 'Sterling' in her name was added because she admired her mother, Sophia Ashcroft.

If named normally, she might not have been given this name.

Grandmother Sterling, mother Sophia Ashcroft, sister Grace Sterling...

Her mother seemed to have no father and took her mother's surname.

Grace Sterling was stolen by the Sterling Family, so naturally, she also took the surname Sterling.

Perhaps Alexander's speculation was indeed just a coincidence?

The two of them fell into their own thoughts.

The car slowly drove through the gates of the Valentine estate.

Earlier, on the way back, the Valentine brothers had already notified Mr. Valentine.

So as soon as Evelyn got out of the car, she saw Mr. Valentine standing at the entrance of the main house.

The man was already fifty years old.

Time had frosted his temples with white.

But it couldn't conceal the composed and steady aura accumulated over the years.

He stood there, his gaze fixed intently on her.

This usually stern and taciturn man now had a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Evelyn."

"Welcome home."

He said Evelyn.

Evelyn's eyes suddenly felt hot.

She lowered her head.

"Yeah."

Neither father nor daughter were talkative people.

After saying this, Mr. Valentine stepped aside.

Marcus immediately jumped over.

"Little sister! Welcome home!"

Charles also approached with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the family has prepared a lavish dinner tonight."

"Cousin, what do you like to eat?"

Evelyn was warmed by their enthusiasm.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

"Anything is fine."

Alexander added from the side.

"She doesn't eat ginger."

"Don't put ginger in the dishes when cooking."

Evelyn was slightly taken aback.

She looked at Alexander in surprise.

"How do you know that?"

She indeed disliked eating ginger.

Although she was a chef and had a chef's qualification certificate, knowing ginger was an important seasoning.

But she never ate it herself.

However, growing up in the Valentine family, she never had the privilege to be picky about food.

Having something to fill her stomach was already good enough.

So she had never mentioned it to anyone.

She also never avoided it during meals.

Alexander just smiled.

"Every time you eat, your chopsticks avoid the ginger slices."

"If a dish has too strong a ginger flavor, you eat less of it."

Evelyn's gaze at Alexander gradually softened.

She hadn't expected that such a trivial habit of hers had been noticed by him.

How meticulously did he usually observe her?

Mr. Valentine, standing nearby, glanced at Alexander.

He patted his shoulder approvingly.

It seemed to be recognition of his earlier words.

The group entered the living room.

Mr. Valentine then looked at Marcus and Mina, who were following behind.

Mina seemed a bit embarrassed.

Marcus spoke up proactively.

"Uncle, the Sterling Family villa was burned down."

"Mina is temporarily moving back to stay."

"Good."

Mr. Valentine didn't ask further.

He just nodded.

"It's good to be back."

Mina felt the relaxed atmosphere of the Valentine family.

It felt exceptionally comfortable to her.

The group chatted animatedly.

The servants had already cleaned the rooms they were to stay in upstairs.

After chatting for a while, just as they were about to start dinner, the butler suddenly came in to announce.

"Master, young masters."

"Mr. Anthony Castillo has arrived with his sister."

Charles immediately said.

"Please invite them in quickly."

The butler smiled and withdrew.

Evelyn and Alexander exchanged a glance.

They both looked toward the entrance.

They had just been discussing Anthony Castillo.

They hadn't expected him to arrive so soon.

And... his sister?

Just as Evelyn was wondering, Anthony Castillo had already walked in with a girl.

Anthony Castillo still had his mixed-race appearance.

His features were deep and three-dimensional.

His eyes seemed particularly profound when looking at people.

But Evelyn's gaze fell on the girl beside him.

Natalie Castillo.

The girl had a delicate and pretty appearance.

She was a head shorter than Anthony Castillo.

Her face was sweet, bearing a fifty percent resemblance to Anthony Castillo.

Her eyelashes were thick and long.

Natalie Castillo was secretly observing the people in the room.

Her lively eyes appeared very innocent.

She was extremely beautiful.

She first looked at Evelyn curiously.

Then she gave Anthony Castillo a meaningful glance.

Her eyes seemed to say: Is this the girl you like?

Anthony Castillo immediately cleared his throat softly.

Natalie Castillo raised an eyebrow.

Her gaze then swept over Alexander.

After sizing him up, she looked back at Anthony Castillo.

Her eyes seemed to say: This guy looks good, you didn't lose unfairly.

Anthony Castillo glared at her.

Then he began introducing everyone.

"This is my sister, Natalie Castillo."

"She just returned from abroad to accompany me."

He then pointed to the Valentine brothers, introducing them one by one to Natalie Castillo.

Everyone greeted politely.

When introducing Charles, Charles stared straight at Natalie Castillo.

His eyes almost glued to her.

Natalie Castillo glared at him with displeasure.

Only then did Charles realize his impropriety and quickly averted his gaze.

Natalie Castillo seemed satisfied.

Charles spoke up.

"You've arrived just in time."

"We were about to have dinner, please join us."

Because two young guests had been added, the Valentine elders went elsewhere to dine.

Leaving the dining room for the younger generation.

During the meal, Preston returned with Susan.

Evelyn silently observed the interaction between Susan and Natalie Castillo.

If Natalie Castillo was truly Susan's superior...

Then there would definitely be eye contact between the two.

Although Natalie Castillo was Anthony Castillo's sister, Evelyn hadn't completely dismissed her suspicions.

As she was pondering, she saw Susan's gaze sweep over the crowd.

Finally landing on Natalie Castillo.

She examined her carefully.

Natalie Castillo also only glanced at her.

Then she got up and headed in the direction of the restroom.

Evelyn immediately followed.

At the restroom entrance, she suddenly called out to Natalie Castillo.

"Fox."

"Hello."
