Chapter 33
She walked for quite some time before arriving at Saint Yales Resort.
Fortunately, a large number of people purchased flowers from her.
Unfortunately, due to a momentary misstep, she fell into the resort’s artificial lake.
Oneida had not yet learned to swim and was a complete novice in the water at the time.
She struggled and flailed in the icy and greenish lake water before sinking slowly.
The water then rushed into her mouth and nose before spreading all around her.
She was gradually losing her breath and worried that she was going to die.
Someone suddenly jumped into the water and began swimming toward her.
In her daze, she vaguely noticed the appearance of a teenage boy. She noticed he had jet black short hair and a buff build.
The boy approached her and grabbed her hand tightly.
His palm was warm, and his grip was firm, which gradually calmed Oneida’s racing heart.
Shortly afterward, she was rescued ashore.
Her mind was foggy as she lay on the grassy bank.
Next, she felt something cool touch her lips, and she was given mouth–to–mouth resuscitation.
She had no recollection of what happened after that.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in the resort’s clinic.
In front of her were white–coated doctors and nurses.
The boy, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.
The nurse informed her that a teen had brought her to the clinic and had to leave quickly due to an emergency.
Oneida discovered a swan brooch in her palm, with sapphire eyes that sparkled.
It was the brooch she had unintentionally taken from the person who had rescued her from the water.
She thought that the teenager must be either rich or noble. Otherwise, he would not have such an expensive brooch.
With that thought in mind, Oneida set out to find the teenager, searching all over the resort but failing to find him.
It wasn’t until many years later that she discovered Christopher wearing an identical swan brooch.

Chapter 33
Christopher informed her that the swan brooch was a limited edition created by a world–renowned brand, with only two in the world considered a pair.
Despite purchasing the pair, he lost one of them.
Oneida was convinced at that point that Christopher was the teenager she had been fantasizing about for years.
People could never forget some of the people they met when they were younger, and Oneida was no exception.
She’d never forget the boy who had unexpectedly grabbed her hand in the freezing lake water.
As a result, she fell head over heels in love with Christopher, even sacrificing many things for him.
She sacrificed her dignity, her career, and even her life for him.
Thinking of that, Oneida clenched her fists.
Hurriedly, she let go of the curtain and stopped looking.
“I’m going to pretend that young man from the past is already dead at Saint Yales Resort when I was seven years old,” she thought.
The guests had already begun to arrive in the Chaser residence’s hall, one after another.
Nathan’s eldest son, Liam Chaser, was abroad and couldn’t make it back, so he didn’t attend.
The second son, Mateo, and his family, on the other hand, arrived early.
Mateo was a well–known writer who had received several prestigious literary awards and was even awarded the ninth–grade elite medal for his literary achievements.
It was an elite medal, a symbol of identity.
Therefore, when he and his wife, Janet Chaser, arrived together, many guests took the initiative to greet them with flattering expressions on their faces.
Mateo was pleased by the flattery as well, as if he had become the center of attention at the banquet.
Yuliana and Rachel were special in the family because they were Mateo’s daughters.
The dresses they were wearing were designed by Hestrya’s top designer, and only three of them were available at the time.
The two sisters were the first to choose the two most attractive dresses.
