Chapter 301 It Could Not Prove Anything
When Lysander heard the word biological parents, her heart inexorably jolted.
“Hey, why did you rummage this red string out and put it on?” Maverick asked.
Lysander paused for a moment before replying, “Mom said this is a lucky charm.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Maverick nodded. “Keep it on. It will allow us to rest easier.”
“Dad, how much did it cost for this red string when you both bought it for me? A colleague of mine saw it and wants to get one, too.”
“That was so many years ago. How could I possibly remember? Besides, the value of money back then was nothing like it is now,” Maverick answered.
“Where did you buy it, then? At Harborbrook Temple
“Hmm… I honestly can’t remember anymore.”
“Oh.”
“Don’t you young girls prefer bracelets made of pretty little beads? I’m surprised someone would still like something as rustic as a red string
Lysander chuckled lightly. “Maybe she feels that the simpler something is, the more effective it is. By the way. Dad, does Michelle have one? I don’t recall ever seeing her wear one.”
“Back then, she wasn’t even in the picture yet!” Maverick waved his hand dismissively. this red string. Quick, help me check the balances on these bank books. I can’t see clear
Thus, Lysander lent her father a hand.
Maverick had four bank books, the combined total of which was a little over two hundred thousand.
He took three of them out. “If my memory serves me right, the combined amount of these th hundred and eighty thousand. I’ve done the math, and if exchanged to Stounian currency, it w equate perfectly to thirty thousand.”
“Dad-”
“All right, I know what you want to say. I’m your father, so you have to listen to me.”

Lysander burst into laughter. “I just wanted to ask where exactly our family’s household registry is.”
“Why do you need the household registry?” Maverick instantly turned wary.
“The passport application requires it.”

Lysander caught the implication behind it. “He came over today?”
“I ran into him downstairs. He probably knew that he wasn’t welcome here, so he didn’t come up and knock. He merely waited downstairs.”
“What… did you say to him?”
“What else could I have said? I naturally told him to stay away from you and not to bother you again,” Maverick said resentfully. “Here, the household registry.”
“Okay.”
“Remember to return it once you’re done using it. Replacing it would be a hassle. You absolutely must
not lose it.”
“I’ll just take a few photos and return it to you,” Lysander said.
She then returned to her room with the household registry in hand.
When she flipped it open, her hands trembled slightly
On it was printed: Maverick Thorne, high school education. O blood type. Laura Olsen, high school education, O blood type. Lysander Thorne, high school education, O blood type. Michelle Thorne, elementary education, O blood type.
She recalled that they once renewed the family’s household registry. At that time, Michelle was in elementary school, whereas she was in high school. Therefore, their educational levels remained as they were at the time of registration without being updated.
However, the matter of blood type..
“Lysa, why have you gone off again? Have you washed your hands? Come out and eat!”
“Okay, coming!” Lysander hollered.
She left the bedroom and returned the household registry to Maverick.
Maverick asked, “Lysa, your highest level of education here is indicated as high school. Is that okay?
Smiling, Lysander nodded. “It’s fine. It doesn’t really matter. Mainly, it’s to verify my household registry.”
“Oh, I see. That’s good, then.”
“All right, all right, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner,” Laura urged.
Throughout the night, Lysander remained somewhat restless.
The entire family had type O blood, and since it was a recessive gene, it couldn’t prove anything.
