Chapter 744 A Blessing in Disguise
Upon hearing this, Uncle Poick frowned.
Then, he reached out and took the letter.
On the other hand, Kayla was sitting near to where he was standing. So, she craned her neck and saw the name on the envelope.
These three large words were written clearly—To Jara Holland.
Jara Holland?
So, this was his name?
For some reason, Kayla felt that his name was familiar as if she had seen it somewhere back in Ascijan. She tried to recall, but she couldn't remember anything.
After Uncle Poick took the letter, he waved the guard off. Then, he turned to Kayla and said, "Miss Burke, I will be heading out for a while. Please suit yourself."
To that, Kayla nodded, and Uncle Poick left.
Once he left, she secretly took out the mobile phone, which Uncle Poick had asked someone to prepare for her to use temporarily. She then went online and searched Jara's name.
As soon as she pressed enter, a torrent of news appeared on the screen.
It was all about Jara's identity.
As the illegitimate son of the Holland family and the third son of Claus, Jara had always been gossiped about by others abroad.
Besides, most people regarded the battle between him and his two brothers as the best battle between the rich and powerful families, so there was a lot of news about him on the Internet.
Of course, as to how much the news was true and how much was fake, it was just a matter of one's point of view.
However, these were not important to Kayla.
Most importantly, she knew Jara, the third son of the Holland family!
No wonder this name sounded so familiar to her. It was him!
Speaking of Kayla, she had quite the fame in Ascijan.
Her father, Samejj, was a building material merchant. Relying on opportunities and his connections, he had developed his business all the way to Flaucford and even established a firm foothold there. Therefore, he could also be considered a successful merchant.
Due to many wealthy families in the Flaucford, even if the Burke family was well developed, they didn't hold much power in the land of the imperial city.
Even so, as they were close by, they had heard a lot of secrets about the rich and powerful families.
In fact, Jara's identity as an illegitimate son was well-known in Flaucford. Therefore, the Burke family members were well aware of it as well.
Now that Kayla saw him, she had never thought that the rumored evil, ugly third son of the Holland Family was actually so good-looking!
After all, he was from the Holland family. Although he was just an illegitimate son, she heard that his mother was also from a prestigious family.
Of course, thanks to Claus's deception, Sara fell in love with him and had his son. Therefore, it wasn't Jara's fault to become an illegitimate child.
Moreover, everyone knew that the eldest and the second son of the Holland family had always been disappointing.
If the Holland family didn't have a power struggle with the Jordan Family, Claus wouldn't have called Jara—whom Claus and his family were not fond of—back from abroad.
In fact, Claus's first and second son didn't have the ability to manage the Holland Family.
As for Jara, he was smart, ruthless, skillful, and capable of handling matters. Not to mention his half-brothers, even Claus might not be his match.
Besides, the people of Flaucford were actually guessing who would take over the Holland family.
And sure enough, the person with the highest vote was Jara.
Basically, they were not stupid. Although the eldest and the second son were the Holland family's legitimate son, skills mattered more than the background in this era.
Only those who were more skillful could lead the Holland Group to a higher level.
And only those who were more powerful could withstand waves of attacks from the other families.
Some time ago, Jordan Group and Holland Group had a fierce fight. Everyone knew that if it weren't for the return of Jara, the Holland family would have been eliminated from the list of the top four families by Jordan Group.
In this way, Jara was widely spoken in Flaucford, and his prestige among the company employees was also higher.
This caused his two elder brothers to loathe him to death.
However, what those people said was true. They did not have Jara's ability. Therefore, no matter how much they hated him, they could not say anything.
That showed how brilliant Jara was.
Thinking of this, Kayla felt a burst of heat in her heart.
Suddenly, she had a bold idea.
Although it was just an idea, and she did not know if it would work, it made her heart beating fast like a drum stick.
After swallowing her saliva, she looked at a variety of exquisite dishes in front of her. Suddenly, her mind lit up.
Instantaneously, she put away the phone and picked up the utensils again.
Then, she put some of the exquisite dishes on an empty plate and took a bowl of soup. After that, she asked a servant to bring her a tray, and she carried her food out.
The castle was huge, and the building she lived was not connected to Jara's building.
After walking for a long time, she finally reached the place where he lived.
As she walked in with the food, she tried her best to suppress her excitement.
Upon arriving there, she realized that Jara's place was more luxurious and bigger than hers.
It was adorned extravagantly.
How much money did he have to spend for the house to be furnished like this?
Looking around, Kayla was thrilled, but she managed to restrain her feelings. Once she saw a servant, she asked, "Hi, may I know where Mr. Holland is?"
Uncle Poick was the only one who knew that Kayla was bought.
Therefore, all the servants here thought that she was Jara's woman.
When the servant saw her, she immediately stopped what she was doing and respectfully stood aside before she answered, "He's in the study upstairs."
Hearing that, Kayla nodded.
She was satisfied with the servants' attitude toward her.
In her heart, there was a huge sense of vanity and satisfaction.
Although in Ascijian, the Burke family could be regarded as a wealthy family, and there were nannies and servants at home, their quality couldn't be compared with the quality here at all.
At that moment, Kayla felt that everything that happened to her could be a blessing in disguise, and she might change her life in one stroke.
Thinking about that, she held the food, straightened her back, and went to the study upstairs.
Meanwhile, the servant looked at her back and subconsciously opened her mouth, trying to stop her.
However, when she thought of her own identity, she felt a little embarrassed and shut her mouth.
Forget it. After all, Kayla was the first woman that Jara brought back. He used to probit them from entering the study, but he did not mention that Kayla couldn't enter.
Who knew? Maybe it was Jara who sent her here!
With this thought in mind, the maid didn't stop her. Instead, she turned around and continued her work.
Even so, someone else would still stop Kayla.
Uncle Poick had just delivered the letter to Jara, and as soon as he came out from the study, he saw Kayla was holding a tray in her hand as she roamed around the corridor.
