**Broken by Destiny by George Orwell**
**Chapter 391: A Talent Acknowledged**
They entered the room with an air of sophistication, clad in impeccably tailored formal suits that spoke volumes about their status. Each step they took was deliberate, radiating an unmistakable aura of confidence, expertise, and authority that commanded attention.
Brielle, who had been lost in her thoughts just moments before, suddenly transformed. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, a light igniting within her as she spotted the group of distinguished guests.
Regina, too, felt a surge of curiosity; her gaze sharpened as she leaned forward, straining to catch a glimpse of someone amidst the bustling crowd.
“Dad! Mr. Rolf! You’re finally here!” Brielle exclaimed, her voice bright and animated, as she darted towards the important figures like a small, exuberant bird, unafraid and brimming with energy.
It was clear that she was well-acquainted with them, her familiarity evident in her enthusiastic approach.
Amelia’s eyes followed Brielle’s gaze, landing on Raymond and Marcelo, accompanied by several unfamiliar faces that piqued her interest.
The man Brielle affectionately referred to as Dad was undoubtedly Esmond Jordan, the esteemed patriarch of the Jordan family.
After the last gathering where she had learned about Brielle and her cousin Sabrina, Amelia had discreetly taken it upon herself to dig deeper into their lineage.
Her research revealed that Brielle was indeed the daughter of Esmond, while Sabrina was her cousin. Paul Jordan, Esmond’s younger brother, was Sabrina’s father, but tragedy had struck the family long ago, leaving only Sabrina and her younger brother, Floyd, to navigate life without their parents.
Cora, fully aware of their orphaned status, had always extended her warmth and care towards both girls, treating them with the extra tenderness they so desperately needed.
Sabrina had consistently exhibited remarkable talent, intelligence, and grace from a young age, qualities that endeared her to Cora. Esmond, too, held her in high regard, often regarding her with a paternal affection that blurred the lines of familial duty.
As for the man known as Mr. Rolf, Amelia recognized him well. He was a prominent academic figure at PharmaCore 01, a man of great influence whose position was highly coveted, and many sought his favor.
“Look at you—already a grown woman! Why are you yelling in public like a child? You’re acting so childish,” Esmond admonished his daughter, his brow furrowing in disappointment. Brielle’s exuberance stood in stark contrast to Sabrina’s composed demeanor, which always exuded calm and poise.
“I’m sorry, Dad,” Brielle replied, her voice sweet and innocent, attempting to charm her way out of her father’s stern gaze. She then pulled Sabrina closer, flashing a bright smile at Rolf. “Mr. Rolf, long time no see!”
“Uncle Esmond, Mr. Rolf,” Sabrina greeted, her voice smooth and polished, radiating an elegance that captivated those around her.
“Sabrina, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Rolf’s expression softened, pride shimmering in his eyes as he spoke. “Later, I’ll introduce you to a few professors specializing in medical research. You should definitely get to know them.”
