Chapter 480
Staring at Neil from behind, Taya paused in place.
She hadn't expected the first project her sister took on to be from the NASA.
She wasn't afraid of going on a site visit, she feared...
Stella did mention that Griffon was at the National Space Administration. If they were to run into each other...
With a glance at Taya to see that she had her head lowered as if to be deeply in thought, Harper seemed to understand what she was worried about.
She comforted her. "Taya, don't worry, the NASA is huge, you'll probably not run into..."
That was right. Griffon was in charge of spaceflight, while she was in charge of construction. How could it be possible for two different types of work to be at the same workplace? She was overthinking. Taya put away her thoughts and asked, "Harper, do you want to come with me?"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Although Harper wanted to visit the National Space Administration, she waved. "I won't go. Things are pretty busy at the nightclub. I can't leave."
With that, Harper reminded Taya once more like a child. "Taya, Neil is unreliable. You must pay more attention to safety and protect yourself when you are abroad, do abroad, do you understand?"
Holding her arm, Taya helplessly replied, "Okay, I get it..."

Harper tousled her short hair with a smile and urged her to pack her things up, shooing Taya upstairs.
Taya selected some clothes, put them in the box, and opened the bag she brought back from the hospital.
When she wanted to get her ID from her bag, she caught a glimpse of the unmate certificate.
Taya went still before she raised her fair hand to take out the unmate certificate.
Slowly, she unfolded it. Staring at the photoshopped photo of the two of them for a few moments before placing it back into the drawer.
In her whole life, she owed Silas too much, and there was no possible way for her to pay it off.
To make sure he wouldn't inflict her, however, he chose to leave and never keep in touch.
Since she couldn't return to her youth and love him wholeheartedly, it was best for her to keep her guilt in her heart forever, and not bother him again as the best repayment for him...
Taya locked the drawer. Just like to seal the past, the certificate was sealed in a closed space, no longer as easily reachable.
After sorting out her emotions and packing her stuff, she went downstairs with the suitcase.
Neil was waiting outside the villa. Seeing her coming out, he drove the car up to her, picked her up and went straight to the airport.
There was an anxious look on Neil's face, as if the project would flee on its legs if he was any slower. On the highway, he sped all the way as if he couldn't wait to be sent flying into the sky.
Taya was dizzy all the way to the airport. Suppressing her nausea, she followed him from behind, checked in, passed through customs, and settled down in the waiting hall.
After a brief rest, she took out her phone and tapped on the WhatsApp icon to take a look. Greyson still hadn't responded to her message...
"What a coward!" cursed Taya in her heart. She opened her contacts and called the other party, only to receive an automated reply to say that the phone was in a state of shutdown. She was grinding her teeth with anger, but she refused to give up, continuing to send him messages to meet.
She decided to send Greyson texts every day. She refused to

believe that he would never reply
With that, she switched to the bank transfer app to see that someone had transferred an amount of money into her account.
She tapped on it and took a look, finding that it was Harper who sent her the money. Just as she was about to call Harper, she noticed a text from her.
"Taya, when you're away from home, you can't do without money. Don't try transferring it back to me, your account has been blocked."
When Taya saw the text, her heart warmed as she typed her reply, "I'll pay it back when I've earned tons of money."
On the other end of the line, Harper had the corners of her lips twitched slightly. Her gaze fell on the document bag, a little dazed. After Silas left, he sent Nora to return all the properties.
There was other stuff meant for Taya...
Harper had wanted to give it to Taya, but Silas hoped that she would hand it over to Taya on the day Taya got mated.
After thinking about it, she followed Silas's wish and decided against returning all the items to Taya.
All she did was take out the bank card Taya had left for her few years ago from the bag.
She pooled the twenty-five out of it into one million before transferring the money to Taya.
Expenses in Washington were high, so she hoped that Taya wouldn't have to suffer without money.
