Chapter 48
Her master had not sent her any news yet.
They were investigating something that happened a long time ago, so it would naturally be hard to find out her true identity.
Marcus and his wife also appeared in a high–profile manner after the juniors of the Dawson family entered the hall.
Marcus still looked suave and in high spirits despite being a middle–aged man. Meanwhile, his wife, Bianca, lived up to her reputation as the best actress in the entertainment industry back in the day. She maintained herself very well and looked rather young. She looked like she was in her thirties despite being in her forties. Marcus held her hand and the two of them walked forward lovingly. This was the first time in Sophie’s life that she had seen her parents. Her heart began to beat faster.
She was enveloped by nervousness and could not help but take a deep breath.
Roger seemed to have sensed something and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous. The Dawson family are just our guests today. We are the host.”
Sophie immediately calmed down when she heard what Roger said.
What Roger said made sense. Even if she didn’t acknowledge them as her parents today, she was still the daughter–in–law of the Nicholls family. She had nothing to be afraid of.
Sophie took a deep breath and composed herself.
Soon, under everyone’s gaze, the members of the Dawson family arrived in front of Norman.
“Mr. Norman, happy birthday!” Marcus came in front of Norman and congratulated him with an extraordinary demeanor.
Norman replied with a smile, “Mr. Dawson, it’s my honor to have you here.”
Marcus shook his head and smiled. “Mr. Norman, don’t tease me. How can the Dawson family not attend your birthday banquet? My sons came back late, so we’re here.a little late to the banquet. Please forgive us.”
“You’re too kind. It’s the Nicholls family’s great fortune that you’re here. You weren’t late at all. The banquet hasn’t started yet.”
Marcus skipped the formalities. He immediately called out to Kenneth, “Kenneth, bring over the gift.
Kenneth nodded and immediately clapped his hands. Then, two bodyguards walked up with a red sandalwood plate. No one knew what was on the plate as it was covered with a red cloth.
The gift looked expensive.

Norman’s eyes immediately lit up. “Mr. Dawson, your gift looks extraordinary. What is it?”
Marcus shot Kenneth a look, and Kenneth immediately reached out and took off the red cloth. In that instant, everyone saw a crane carved out of jade.
The lifelike statue immediately shocked everyone. They all fell silent and looked at the statue carefully.
Kenneth smiled and said, “This is a rare piece of red and white jade. Because one end of the jade is red, the world’s most famous sculptor carved it into a crane. Thirty years ago, a famous collector overseas got it for his collection and shocked the world. My father then bought it at a high price.” The market value of a famous collector’s piece from 30 years ago would be immeasurable today. However, the Dawson family actually managed to purchase it, and they were even giving it to
Norman.
They were showing the Nicholls family immense respect. Norman immediately became elated. He said, “Marcus, you’re really thoughtful. The gifts you give me each year are always so precious. This year’s gift is even more amazing, so amazing that it makes me feel uneasy.”
However, Marcus replied calmly, “Norman, you’re a good man. It’s your good fortune that I was able to find such a statue for you.”
Marcus praise made it even harder for Norman to reject the gift.
Thank you. Please send my regards to your father as well,” Norman said, then asked the butler to keep the item.
Willard had never managed such an expensive gift before. He led his men and carefully put it away.

Marcus glanced at the other members of the Dawson family, then went to greet Damian and Humphrey.
Bianca looked gently at the juniors behind them.
However, she could not help but be stunned for a moment when she saw Sophie..
She thought, ‘She is… It’s strange. This is the first time I’ve seen that girl, but why do I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward her?”
Sophie had her gaze on Bianca, and she did not expect Bianca to suddenly look at her. For a moment, she looked a little uneasy and did not know where to look.
She had also just realized that she looked rather like Bianca.
Seeing that Bianca was curious, Norman immediately introduced Sophie to Bianca and Marcus. “This is the wife of my grandson, Roger. Her name is Sophie Bourn.”
Sophie really did not expect Marcus and Bianca to notice her. Norman also generously introduced.

her to them.
However, Jasmine did not expect Marcus and Bianca to know Sophie. She faked a smile and said, “She’s just the Bourn family’s adopted daughter, She’s not worth mentioning”
However, at this moment, Bianca could no longer look away from Sophie. She said, “Sophie, can you raise your head and let me take a look at you?”
The sons of the Dawson family also looked at Sophie when they saw that their mother was so interested in a girl they had just met.
Sophie had no choice but to raise her head under everyone’s gaze.
The members of the Dawson family were stunned when Sophie looked up.
“Is this an illusion? Why does she look so much like Mom?” Lucas said as he looked at Sophie and Bianca suspiciously.
Timothy frowned and glanced at the two of them. “That’s right. Why does she look more like Mom
than Lucas does?”
Among the brothers, Lucas resembled Bianca the most, which was why he also went into the entertainment industry.
However, the girl in front of him looked more like Bianca than he did.
“Really?” Benjamin couldn’t help but take a step forward curiously. The next second, he frowned and said. “It’s true.”
Everyone immediately looked at Bianca and Sophie the moment Benjamin said that.
For some reason, Bianca had a strange feeling in her heart. She could not help but ask, “Have we
met before?”
Sophie opened her mouth slightly, but her lips were trembling from nervousness.
What should she say?
They had never met before, but Sophie had often dreamed of he seen clearly.
mother whose face could not be
At this moment, the image of her mother finally became clear in her mind.
She did not expect Bianca to look so much like her.
Evelyn watched as her mother and Sophie looked at each other. She could not help but feel inexplicably frustrated. She opened her mouth and said, “What a coincidence. Miss Bourn looks so much like my mother. In that case, she can be considered to have the looks of a celebrity.”
Her words immediately calmed everyone down a little. Rebecca also cooperated and said, “That’s right. No wonder I felt that Sophie looked familiar previously. It turns out that she looks like Mrs.

Dawson.”
The two of them described the similarity between Sophie and Bianca as a coincidence. However, Kenneth saw the affectionate gaze in Sophie’s eyes and suddenly said, “Miss Bourn, have you seen my mother before?”
These words reminded Bianca. She immediately walked toward Sophie and held her hand affectionately. “That’s right, I also feel quite close with this girl. Have we met before?”
