Chapter 2

Jane's four-year-old little body immediately froze! She gradually turned her head and caught sight of her oldest brother, John's, strikingly handsome face! To search for her, his parents tragically lost their lives in a car accident. Following this, his older brother stepped in to take on the responsibility of running the family business and providing for everyone. Despite being just in his early twenties, he had a strikingly handsome and stoic appearance. Clad in a suit, he exuded a powerful presence. He simply remained in place, and that was all it took for everyone to realize he was the king! This was the first time Jane had been so close to her older brother. After all, when she returned home, the Wallace family had faced bankruptcy. Her brother ended up in prison due to the financial scandal and tragically took his own life out of shame. As he thought about his big brother's past and looked at him in the present, tears filled his large eyes. John had originally intended to get back at the little girl, but when he looked down, he saw her shaking and on the brink of tears because of him! Her bright red eyes, small pink nose, and tightly pressed lips revealed just how scared she was. Even though she seemed on the verge of tears, it was truly heartbreaking to witness her struggle. John, known for his tough demeanor and high status, couldn't ignore her pain, regardless of any past conflicts he had regarding her treatment of her sister. Alice, ever observant, noticed the softness in John's gaze and became immediately cautious. She rushed over and hugged John's slender and beautiful thighs. "John, you're finally back. Sob, sob, sob, sob. You have to help me vent my anger!" She sustained an injury to her forehead and was struck in the nose by Jane. At this moment, her face was smeared with blood and tears, which had all stained the black suit pants of the white crane cloud. The suit, tailored specifically for her, could be valued at several hundred thousand dollar. However, John appeared unconcerned that such an expensive suit had become a makeshift bandage for his sister's face. He shifted his focus away from Jane, knelt down, and gently lifted Alice, who was sobbing. He reached out to dry her tears and reassured her, saying, "Good girl, don't cry anymore." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the injury on Alice's face, and his expression instantly turned cold. He ordered the servants to get the first aid kit, and then his cold eyes fell on the Jane again. There were still tears in the little girl's eyes, but there was no trace of sympathy in John's expression. How could she dare to cry after hurting her sister like that? "William," John said sharply to the butler, "Get her out of here. How badly is Alice hurt? Make sure she pays you double!" Even though William hated the thought of hurting such a sweet little girl, he knew he couldn't go against the John's order, so he reluctantly nodded. Alas, what a poor child. She looked like a little beggar. Even if she was seriously injured, no one would come back to save her. At that time, she was afraid that she would die. William sighed secretly and went forward to take the little girl away. Alice was nestled in John's arms. Out of his sight, a wicked grin spread across her lips. Jane, did you see that? What if you choose to come back? You’re not the little princess of the Wallace family anymore! The whole Wallace family dotes on me! How could Jane overlook the pride and provocation in Alice's eyes? She clutched the rabbit doll tightly and dodged the butler William's outstretched hand. Tears streamed down her face as she faced John. "Brother, how could you! You promised that if I came to you with my rabbit, you would take me home! You're not keeping your word!" She clutched the rabbit doll tightly and dodged the butler William's hand. Tears streamed down her face as she faced John. "Brother, how could you! You promised that if I came to you with my rabbit, you would take me home! You're not keeping your word!" "Boohoo, this rabbit was my birthday gift. Can't you recognize me? Boohoo, you can't even recognize this rabbit, nor can you recognize me!" "You're no longer my brother! Jane don't have a bad brother like you!" John, who was originally cold and full of hostility, was stunned when he heard this. The little girl was too dirty and its clothes were too ragged. The rabbit dolls in its arms had long been disfigured. He didn't recognize them at first sight. But when he looked at it carefully, he could see that it was a toy that he once gave to his sister as a birthday gift. At that time, she was still holding this doll in her arms. She loved it so much that she could not let it go. If anyone wanted to grab this doll from her, she could fight to the death with others. Due to the family's immense power, it was uncommon for a child born into such a lineage to avoid the grim fate of being kidnapped, with most abductions occurring during their childhood. Therefore, the young and mature John once told his sister that if she was taken away by bad people in the future, she must protect the doll in front of bad people as if she were protecting the doll at home. She must not let the doll be taken away by others. No matter how many years went by, as long as the doll remained, he could always recognize her whenever she brought it to him. He said these words when he coaxed her to sleep. At that time, there were only the two of them in the room, so there was no one else around to hear what he said! With that thought in mind, John was too excited and happy. His usually calm and icy voice trembled as he asked, "Jane? Is that really you?" "Do you recognize me?" The little girl's eyes were still glistening with tears. She glared at him fiercely, turned her head away, and held the rabbit with her hands on her hips. However, her reddened nose betrayed the fact that she had been crying. Her proud and delicate demeanor was exactly the same as the Jane when she was a child! This was truly one-of-a-kind and impossible for anyone else to replicate! "Jane!" Without a moment's hesitation, John gently set down little Alice and reached out for Jane instead. However, Jane was still in the midst of a tantrum and refused to let him come near her. Aware that he had made a mistake, he decided to approach her with kindness. "Jane, I truly apologize. I messed up by not realizing it was you. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but please don't ignore me, okay?" Meanwhile, the friends who were invited by Alice to attend the birthday party were stunned and turned into stone statues. "What about the cold-faced and cold-hearted man?" Didn't they say that John was never soft-hearted? "This... this, this, this, this is something a big shot can do?!" Everyone was stunned, but their eyes quickly shifted to Alice. In contrast to the little princess Jane who had been coaxed by John, Alice felt pretty lonely, depressed, and a little desolate at the moment. Alice's cheeks flushed with rage as she caught sight of the pity in her friends' eyes, who were enjoying watching a good show! That bitch Jane! Alice felt a surge of frustration; she couldn't allow Jane to take everything that belonged to her! "Brother." Alice suppressed her anger, stepped forward, and hugged John's arm. She made sure he didn't reach out to Jane, gently pulling him back to maintain some space between them. Obviously, John was very dissatisfied with her interrupting her reunion with her sister. He pulled his hand away with a slight frown and remarked in a disapproving tone, "Alice, what are you up to?" Because of his attitude, Alice hated Jane even more! If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly return back and got in her way, John would not have loved her so much. Why would he talk to her like this? As Alice thought about this, she imitated the appearance of Jane and pretended to be wronged. She looked like she was about to burst into tears. "Brother, are you mad at me?" "Alice, aren't you happy to see your sister come back?" John didn't want to coax her at all. Instead, he blamed her. Alice didn't know what to say. Of course, she was not happy! But she couldn't say these words in front of John. She continued to pretend to be wronged and said, "I'm happy, but big brother, I'm afraid..." Have you ever wondered how old Jane was when she went missing? Even a young girl her age can look quite similar. It's possible that someone could have taken Jane, altered her appearance, and then sent her back home to deceive you. Upon hearing that, John was taken aback. It was clear that those words held truth. Jane noticed that Alice was preparing to take her brother away, so she refrained from throwing a fit. Instead, she adopted a thoughtful expression and proposed, "If you doubt that I'm Jane, you could... try this..." Still embodying the mindset of a four-year-old, she pretended to ponder for a moment before exclaiming, "Let's do a parent-child test!" Upon hearing that, John was taken aback. Indeed, these words made sense. Jane saw that Alice was about to take her brother away, so she didn't throw a tantrum. Instead, thoughtful expression and proposed, "If you doubt that I'm Jane, you could... try this..." She was still in the position of a four-year-old child. Still embodying the mindset of a four-year-old, she pretended to ponder for a moment before exclaiming, "Let's do a parent-child test!" Realizing how confidently she exclaimed "parent-child test!", Alice felt her anxiety spike even further. John was also stunned. Jane frowned a bit, yet she spoke gently but with conviction, "Even though I'm really scared of getting a shot, it’s okay. If you can trust me, I’m ready to give you as many injections as you need. "Oh, sister, I want to go home. I miss you so much..." The more she cried, the more annoyed Alice became. However, John remembered something because of this. "Jane, let me see your back, okay?" He knew very well that his sister had a red heart-shaped birthmark behind her. As long as he confirmed this, he could confirm the identity of the little girl in front of him. "Okay!" Jane was very cooperative. After all, she was the real princess. There was nothing to be afraid of! She turned around and pulled off the collar of her clothes, revealing the birthmark on her back. Seeing the familiar mark, the excitement and joy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed. This was his sister! This was his sister!
