"You don't have to worry, Aubrey. No one in the Reinhold Family ancestor underwent heavenly punishment so we don't know if it is real or not. As long as you stated your wish beside the well, the guardian could hear it and message the god. The god will grant your wish, either your wish is fake or real and possible or impossible" Grandpa France said like he himself believed the traditions but that's not the case. He just doesn't want Aubrey being pressured because of heavenly punishment.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know that there will be such heavenly punishment but let's not think of it or else it might happen. They said, the more you thought about it, the bigger the possibility" Amelio stated. This led the adults changed topics into business but Grandma Amy is silent like she's very uncomfortable and eager to do traditions right now in order to find out if the heavenly punishment is real or not.

"Grandma, who resides beside the Sue Mansion?" Aubrey asked. She knows that her grandma is still thinking of the heavenly punishment so she decided to divert her attention to something else.

Her attempt succeeded, "Oh! They are the Conrad Family. They are most influential family in the region. There's no need to be scared of them. Our business is already widely known nation wide and soon aiming it into an empire. Even though, I sound like I am looking down on Conrad Family but I just honestly stated a fact!" she proudly said while justifying her statement about Conrad Family.

"Grandma, I don't care about their influence nor business. I wanted to know about each member of Conrad Family" she furrowed brows after hearing her grandma's words but eased up after hearing her the last of her words. She doesn't like other people criticizing a person without knowing who they are as a person, not as a tool or thing for business.

"Oh! They are good-looking people. Frederick Bent Conrad owned the Conrad Pharmaceutical Company while his wife is Elise Deritt who owned a jewelry company. They both inherited their family's business that's why it flourish! They also have two sons: Elric and Cedric. Elric is the heir of Frederick while Cedric is the heir of Elise so the brother get along with each other without scheming of getting the other's birth right" she stated each member of Conrad Family.

"Oh!" she exclaimed but realized something from her grandma's words.

"Don't worry, Grandma! I wouldn't seized position of heir from my twin brother Andrew! Because I want to get it by handling it by myself!" she continued then looked at her grandma's reaction. Indeed! That's what her grandma's intention but her worries vanished when she heard of Aubrey's words.

"Good! You're really sensible like your twin brother!" she praised. Well, there is also a family tradition on Sue Family and that is not to let the daughter be the heir of family business because of their belief that man is better at handling businesses. Fortunately, Aubrey isn't the type child who is eager to seize the business like other aristocrat children.

"Dad! Grandma! Grandpa! I'm back!" a seven year's old boy called them while forgetting about Aubrey's presence. They're twins but doesn't get along each other because of her grandma's influenced that man should be one who handle family business.

Aubrey turned silent when Andrew came in. He greeted them but not Aubrey. Aubrey initiated the greetings but Andrew doesn't greet her back.

Aubrey inwardly sighed. She just wanted to get along with her twin brother but every time she approached him, he will get annoyed or irritated and sometimes will get angry. She just let him be. Anyway, she's used to it!

"Your twin sister will be having a wishing well tradition tomorrow. You should be present as her brother" Grandpa France stated. Once Grandpa France opened his mouth, Grandma Amy and Andrew will obey.
