Chapter 34 Scared of a Foil Lana shielded her face, nearly blinded by Kate. She never anticipated that in front of a crowd, on such a significant occasion, Kate would dare to strike her! “Kate!” Lana cried out, the burning sensation on her check serving as a reminder of the years of humiliation Kate had inflicted upon her. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Kate with intense hatred, raising her hand to retaliate. However, Kate acted swiftly. Just as Lana prepared to strike in anger, Kate decisively delivered a slap to the other side of her face. “Why are you shouting so loudly? I’m not deaf.” Kate’s lips curved into a taunting smile as she lazily and disdainfully regarded Lana, as if she had just disciplined a pet. Staggering from the dual blows, Lana was supported by two young men beside her. Fuming, she bellowed, “Let me have a go at her, I want to wipe that smug look off her face!” The onlookers exchanged glances, but none dared to intervene. They knew Kate all too well. She was the daughter of the Lowe Group and the wife of Eric! Eric was ruthless, and those who crossed him met a grim fate. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn’t dare to provoke Eric. Those who offended Eric likely met a mysterious demise. Observing the motionless crowd, Lana grew even more incensed. “Why are you all just standing there? Take action! Do you really believe Kate and Eric have a solid relationship? Ha, she’s just a pampered pet. Who knows, perhaps one day Eric will tire of her and cast her aside!” “She’s been married to Eric for three years, but has Eric ever publicly acknowledged her?” Lana sneered at Kate. “Furthermore, she has cut ties with the Lowes, and you all are still afraid of such a weakling?” Kate found Lana’s words somewhat amusing. The animosity between them was evident, and Kate had always bested Lana. However, in the past. three years, Kate had resided in Summer Estate, with Eric never publicly acknowledging her status, never appearing together in public. Considering Eric’s public persona, Lana’s conjecture held some merit. After all… would the eccentric Eric truly dote on such a delicate lady? Who would believe that! Moreover, the rumors circulating painted a picture of discord between Eric and Kate, leading 1/2 Lana to assume Eric held Kate in low regard. The bystanders were clearly seeking to align themselves with a powerful figure, so upon hearing. Lana’s words, their apprehensions lessened, and two men moved to restrain Kate. Gracefully evading, Kate took a step back, her gaze turning icy. Several others closed in, encircling Kate and Ruth. Ruth paled. She never imagined Kate would directly confront Lana! Lana had always been the influential figure she aspired to be associated with. However, due to her position as the financial officer at the Lowe Group’s headquarters, the gap. between her and Lana was too vast for her to bridge. Yet, she never expected to find herself in this confrontation at the banquet. “Kate, you’re acting rashly…” Ruth glanced at the people surrounding them, feeling a lump in her throat, and nervously said to Kate, “Why don’t you apologize? After all, you were the one who struck first…” Kate sneered coldly, gazing at Ruth with icy disdain. “Why should I apologize? She was the one who started with foul language first, so what’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?” “Ruth, which side are you on?” Taken aback by Kate’s words, Ruth’s face turned pale. However, she gritted her teeth, stood in front of Kate, and spoke firmly. “Kate, I am definitely on your side.” Send Gifts

Chapter 33 Watch Your Mouth Ruth’s smile froze, and she quickly explained, “Kate, I didn’t mean to sow discord between you and Eric, let alone you two, you two…. Ruth scoffed in her mind. You think I need to pit you two against each other? You guys are already at loggerheads. Kate looked coldly at Ruth. “What’s wrong with us?” She exuded a strong aura, full of icy coldness and a questioning tone at the moment, making Ruth inexplicably tremble in her heart, and the hidden resentment and jealousy almost couldn’t be suppressed. Why? Why does Kate always have this high and mighty look, never smiling at me, scolding me as she pleases, making me feel like her servant! Just because her family is rich, does that mean she can look down on me? Ruth’s face twisted slightly, and then she smiled awkwardly, “Aren’t you and Mr. Eric,not on good terms Kate rolled her eyes, raised her head, and with a hint of arrogance in her voice, said, “Eric is very good to me, so don’t try to sow discord between us.” Her voice was not low, enough for the few people around to hear clearly, and their eyes suddenly looked over with some surprise towards Kate and her group. When they saw Kate, there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes. Summer deliberately raised her voice, with a hint of arrogance and a desire to show off. “Oh my, hello, Ms. Lowe.” A woman’s exaggerated exclamation suddenly rang out. Kate turned her head to look, her expression cold. A woman in a white evening gown walked slowly towards them, her makeup exquisite, exuding an air of elegance and luxury. The diamonds on her neck were dazzling, and the evening gown was adorned with large diamonds, giving off an air of extravagance. Kate raised an eyebrow when she saw her, her eyes filled with even more coldness. She was very familiar with this woman. She was her old rival, Lana from the Sadler Group. Since they were young, they had been at odds with each other. The Sadler Group and the Lowe Group had always had conflicting interests, leading to a stark difference in their positions, which further fueled their rivalry from a young age. The Lowe Group always had the upper hand over the Sadler Group, and Lana was no match for Kate in any aspect. Balance: 1 Colna 737 +0 Chapter 33 Watch Your Mouth Finished intelligence. Kate had always been the beloved little princess, attracting everyone’s attention. Meanwhile, Lana had always been overshadowed by Kate’s brilliance. The two had harbored resentment for a long time, but three years ago, after Kate married Eric, she disappeared from the scene. On the other hand, Lana began to thrive in the business world in Capital City, finally free from Kate’s shadow. “I thought I wouldn’t see you again, but I didn’t expect you to show up at an occasion like this.” Lana was accompanied by several well–dressed men, all of whom were trying to please her. She gently swirled the red wine in her glass and looked at Kate with a proud and defiant look in her eyes. “How good is Eric to you? Why don’t you tell us?” Kate looked at Lana coldly and said disdainfully, “Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?” Lana chuckled at her words, and her expression turned cold. “Kate, are you still pretending to be someone you’re not? We all know what kind of person Eric is. For the past three years, you’ve been trying to please him to survive under his control, haven’t you?” “But you do possess certain skills to have endured three years under the control of the madman. Eric … And she was stopped.. As Lana attempted to complete her sentence, she was abruptly cut off by the sharp sound of a slap!

Chapter 32 You Want Me to Die? Hendrick gazed at Kate with a puzzled expression and couldn’t resist asking, “What are you trying to say?” When Kate told him to watch out for Anna, Hendrick’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat, sensing a foreboding feeling. After pondering for a moment, Kate spoke softly. “Hendrick, Eric’s men witnessed Ruth and Anna conversing in a secluded corner, and they also handed something to Anna.” She had this information from her past life memories, so she could only mention that it was observed by Eric’s men. After all, she had just arrived at the Emperor Hotel, making it unrealistic to claim she saw it herself. Hendrick’s demeanor turned grave, and he took a deep breath before responding, “Understood.” He didn’t question the veracity of Kate’s words, but the mention of Anna made his brows furrow and his gaze grew cold. Observing Hendrick’s change in expression, Kate also breathed a sigh of relief, yet a pang of bitterness tugged at her heart. Regardless of the circumstances, her brothers always believed her unconditionally, leading to their tragic victimization in her past life. A knock sounded at the door of the private parlour. Hendrick opened it with a hint of coldness in his eyes, revealing Anna outside, who offered an apologetic smile upon seeing him. “Apologies, Mr. Lowe, for interrupting your reunion with Ms. Lowe. The investors are seeking you for a discussion on cooperation.” Despite the interruption to Hendrick and Kate, Anna’s gaze didn’t acknowledge Kate at all, completely disregarding her. “Very well.” Hendrick nodded, then turned back to instruct Kate, “Kate, wait for me to conclude the discussion before seeking you out.” Kate smiled at him and nodded, watching Hendrick depart with Anna, her guard still up. Although she had cautioned Hendrick to be wary of Anna, she didn’t attend the banquet in her past life and was unaware of how Anna succeeded. However, judging by Hendrick’s demeanor, he wasn’t entirely defenseless against Anna before, and now with her warning, he should exercise more caution and not easily fall into her trap. Assuring herself inwardly, Kate swiftly scanned the Emperor Hotel, spotting Eric and several elegantly dressed individuals engaged in conversation. She chose not to disturb Eric, opting instead to head towards the food area. She felt a slight hunger. Grabbing a slice of cake, Kate settled into a corner to leisurely enjoy her snack. As she ate, she casually surveyed the hotel, quickly spotting Simon and Ruth amidst the crowd on the opposite side. Simon wore a pleasant, ingratiating smile, conversing with another person, while Ruth stood behind him, her gaze sweeping the Emperor Hotel. Soon, she noticed Kate seated in the corner. In a hushed tone, she said something to Simon, then approached Kate with a surprised and smiling expression, “Kate, I didn’t expect you to actually attend the banquet! Has Eric finally allowed you to come out? I always said that staying in Summer Estate all the time would disconnect you from society…” Kate lazily raised her eyes to glance at Ruth, but remained silent. “What’s the matter, Kate? Is Eric pressuring you to do something you dislike again?” Ruth peered at Kate’s indifferent demeanor, feigning concern. Kate looked at Ruth with a smile that lacked warmth, her tone cool, “Ruth, what are your implying?” Ruth was taken aback by her cold questioning. She forcibly suppressed the displeasure in her heart, her face looking somewhat unnatural as she asked, “Kate, what’s wrong with me?” Kate lazily leaned back on the sofa, lightly tapping the table with her index finger. She looked arrogant and indifferent as she gazed at Ruth. “Are you so eager for me to die that you’ve been trying to sow discord between me and Eric?” Send Gifts 20 Reborn of Kate Finished

When Kate mentioned Simon and Ruth, Hendrick’s expression shifted slightly, and then he azed at Kate intently, furrowing his brow and said, “Why are you inquiring about them? Are you lanning to meet Simon? If Mr. Davison finds out, you Hendrick.” Kate gently interjected Hendrick’s words, her expression resolute. “I do intend to meet Simon, but not for a romantic encounter. Simon has been covertly transferring the assets of Lowe Group.” Upon hearing these words, Hendrick’s pupils suddenly contracted. He gazed deeply at Kate and his tone became grave. “When did you discover this?” Summer hesitated for a moment, then felt a bitter pang in her heart. Hendrick now controlled the entire Lowe Group. Of course he was aware of Simon’s schemes. However, even if he was aware, what could he do? Simon used Kate as a shield, thwarting numerous investigations, and each time assets were transferred… it was with Kate’s authorization. In her previous life, the Lowe Group was gradually infiltrated and depleted by Simon and his cohorts, ultimately drained. And utilizing her as bait, they systematically dismantled her parents. and brothers one by one These agonizing memories flooded her mind, and Summer took a deep breath, articulating to Hendrick, “Hendrick, I was naive in the past. But moving forward, I will not allow Simon to siphon off a single cent. Whatever he took from me, I will make him give them back!” Hendrick gazed at Summer with relief, reaching out to tousle her hair and speaking in a gentler tone, “Kate, you need not involve yourself in company affairs. Your happiness is what matters most. “Seeing you enter with Mr. Eric today, I was overjoyed. Establishing a good relationship with Mr. Eric is the best outcome for you.” Perhaps due to the alcohol, Hendrick’s eyes were slightly reddened at the corners, and he spoke more openly than usual. Kate felt a pang of pain surge in her heart. Her kind brother in her pervious life was unwittingly manipulated and embroiled in a scandalous expose. Consequently, the Lowe Group’s stock price. plummeted. Simon and Ruth seized the opportunity to aggressively purchase the Lowe Group’s stocks, while also deceiving her into signing documents that transferred away a majority of the assets. Recalling the girl in a silver evening dress standing beside Hendrick when she arrived, Kate’s expression turned icy. She casually inquired, “Hendrick, I noticed a girl in a silver evening gown. next to you earlier. Is she your companion?” Hendrick nodded and casually responded, “Yes, she is my secretary, Anna. She possesses strong. business acumen and is quite astute. She actually reminds me a bit of you.” Upon hearing Hendrick’s words, Kate’s heart was filled with icy fury. Recalling Anna’s competent and haughty demeanor earlier, along with the subtle disdain in her gaze towards her, Kate’s gaze grew even colder. It was at this gathering that Anna set a trap for Hendrick, leading him unknowingly into a relationship with her, and then tearfully accusing him without explanation, leading others to believe that Hendrick had coerced her. This caused the Lowe Group’s stock price to plummet, compelling Hendrick to marry her to quell the turmoil. However, Anna, who appeared to have a clean background, had actually been colluding with Ruth and others for a long time, with the intention of taking over the Lowe Group’s assets. Her ultimate goal was to also destroy Hendrick, the last resort. Kate glanced at Hendrick with a touch of hesitation in her eyes, but still spoke earnestly, “Hendrick, try to drink less at the banquet, and also… watch out for Anna.” Send Gifts
Chapter 30 I Was Stupid “Hendrick…” Kate’s voice trembled as she took a deep breath and whispered to Eric, “Eric, I…” Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Eric’s indifferent voice, “Hmm, go ahead, don’t wander around.” Looking at Eric with a mix of surprise and gratitude, Kate nodded heavily. A smile then appeared on her face as she quickly walked towards Hendrick’s direction, giving him. a big hug without hesitation. The sudden hug caught Hendrick off guard. He looked at Kate in disbelief and after a moment, hesitantly raised his hand to hug her back, his voice trembling as he said, “Kate, you’re finally making up with me?” Hendrick’s heart was in turmoil. Three years ago, when he refused Kate’s request to marry Simon and instead let her marry Eric, Kate had a falling out with them, even wanting to cut off ties with them. But even when she threatened to die, she couldn’t change the outcome; she still married Eric. It was not because they were not open–minded and insisted on a business marriage, but because. Simon was not a good match. Marrying him was not a good choice. And Eric wasn’t as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be. But no matter how they explained, Kate did not listen. After she married Eric, she cut off contact with them. Heartbroken, her parents went abroad to relax, while her older brothers were busy expanding their overseas business. The Lowe Group’s business back in the nation was handed over to him. It had been three years since he heard his sister call him by his name. “Hendrick, it was my fault before.” Wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye, Kate smiled and said to Hendrick. Her gaze seemed casual, sweeping past the people around Hendrick, finally pausing for a moment on a young and beautiful woman. The woman was dressed in a silver evening gown, standing dignified and elegant next to Hendrick, with a professional smile on her face. She exuded an air of arrogance, but when she saw Kate, a hint of mockery and disdain flashed in her eyes. Although faint, Kate noticed it. Chapter 30 | Was Stupid She must be the secretary, Anna Sommers, who caused Hendrick to have a scandal. Finished She had only seen the photos of the scene after the incident, with the woman on the bed looking disheveled and panicked, exuding a sense of vulnerability. It was like a completely different person compared to the aloof Anna now. “Let’s go; let’s sit over there and talk.” Suppressing his excitement, Hendrick took Kate’s hand and led her to a private room on the side. Kate allowed him to pull her, and the few people who were originally talking to Hendrick also silently made way, watching Hendrick and Kate enter the private room. As soon as they sat down, Hendrick looked at Kate with a desire to speak but stopped, as if he wanted to ask something but swallowed it silently, not knowing what to say for a while. “Hendrick, do you want to ask me about me and Eric?” Kate lowered her voice, with a hint of a smile on her face. Hendrick nodded gently, and then said with some helplessness, “I heard that you stabbed him; did he … not do anything to you?” Speaking of this, Hendrick nervously scanned Kate up and down, seeing no obvious external injuries on her, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at her with concern. Hendrick knew very well what kind of temper his sister had. Kate had been pampered since childhood. She was the darling of the Lowes, inevitably displaying some spoiled princess tendencies. Although they had no contact in the three years since she married Eric, Hendrick had always quietly kept an eye on Kate and Eric. He also knew that his sister was very lively and often clashed with Eric. Previously, it was just minor disagreements, but this time, Kate had indeed crossed the line. Kate looked at Hendrick earnestly and said, “Brother, I was immature before, always arguing with Eric, and even thought that Simon was the perfect man for me. But now, things have changed.” “I have come to realize, I know how kind Eric has been to me in the past three years, he would never do anything to harm me. As for Simon… he is not trustworthy at all.” Hendrick gazed at Kate in disbelief, slightly parting his lips. Did she really say all that? How did she suddenly transform into a different person, even recognizing the true nature of Simon?
Chapter 29 Complementary When it came to Eric, everyone in Capital City knews him well. As the president of Davison Group, he was a dominant figure in the business world of Capital City, known for his ruthless and unconventional methods. He was considered the most challenging person to deal with in Capital City, and also the one that no one dared to provoke. Privately, people say that Eric was eccentric. Anyone who crossed him never fared well. So, when these people caught sight of Eric’s car, they instinctively steered clear, afraid of provoking him, yet unable to resist stealing glances. The reason is simple; although Eric was intimidating to many, he was undeniably handsome and elegant, unmatched by anyone in Capital City. The back door of the car opened slowly, and a man in a black suit, exuding a noble and aloof demeanor, stepped out. He then extended his hand towards the car. A delicate hand, as white as jade, gently touched Eric’s hand. Kate, clad in a fiery red evening gown, emerged from the car, instantly capturing everyone’s attention. “Wait… Mr. Eric actually brought a woman to the Emperor Hotel?! This is the first time in three. years that Mr. Eric has appeared in public with a woman since his marriage.” “That woman looks familiar; she appears to be Mr. Eric’s fiancée, Kate Lowe!” “Didn’t they say that Mr. Eric and Ms. Lowe have always been at odds? How come… A group of people cautiously avoided Eric’s gaze while whispering to each other, with most of the discussion revolving around Kate. Although their voices were hushed, they still reached the ears of Eric and Kate. Eric’s cold and indifferent eyes swept over them, causing the people to immediately fall silent, trembling and hastily lowering their heads to evade his gaze, while also tightly sealing their lips, refraining from uttering another word. A gentle smile graced Kate’s face, and then she affectionately took Eric’s arm, softly saying, “Eric, let’s inside.” go “Okay.” Eric responded lightly, then calmly proceeded forward with Kate by his side. Inside the Emperor Hotel, there were already quite a few people. In the grand and spacious lobby on the first floor, people were conversing in small groups. However, as Eric and Kate strolled in leisurely, the chatter in the lobby instantly ceased, and all eyes unconsciously landed on the couple entering through the door..

His strikingly handsome face exuded indifference and coldness, emanating a powerful and icy aura, accompanied by an intense sense of intimidation. And Kate donned a fiery red evening gown, accentuating her slender and graceful figure flawlessly. Her makeup was bold yet tasteful, and a red ruby necklace adorned her fair neck, causing her to shimmer like a ruby, radiant and captivating. Even standing next to Eric, who exuded sharpness and dominance, her elegance remained undiminished. Both of them emitted a powerful presence, one sharp and the other vibrant and daring, creating a harmonious blend. “Kate?” An abrupt exclamation rang out. Kate heard the familiar voice and swiftly turned her head towards the source of the sound. In the corner, a young man in a silver–gray suit held a glass of wine, gazing at her with astonishment and disbelief, tinged with excitement. He seemed inclined to approach her, yet hesitated as if restraining himself for some reason, standing in place with a complex expression. Upon seeing him, Kate felt her nose tingle and nearly cried out. The individual calling out to her was her brother, Hendrick! Send Gifts 20
Chapter 28 Attending the Banquet At five o’clock in the afternoon, Eric’s assistant, Lucas, brought over the evening gown, accompanied by a team of makeup and styling professionals. The banquet was already very grand, with many prominent figures from Capital City’s upper society in attendance. Every reputable company in the city didn’t want to miss out on this banquet organized by foreign investors. If they were chosen as a partner, they might soar to new heights. Among the companies in Capital City, the most prominent were the Davison Group and the Lowe Group. Although the two companies were related by marriage, everyone knew that Kate, the wife of Eric and the eldest daughter of the Lowes, had distanced herself from her parents and brothers ever since she married Eric. She had disappeared from the public eye. Therefore, there were rumors that the Lowe Group and the Davison Group were always in competition. It was because of this that in the previous life, Ruth and Simon took advantage of the information gap to make Kate believe that Eric was harming the Lowe Group, deepening her misunderstanding of Eric. But this time… she wouldn’t be fooled! Kate, pampered since childhood as the eldest daughter, had always lived in luxury. Her looks, figure, and temperament were all top–notch. When the makeup artists and stylists saw her, their eyes lit up with admiration. Kate’s gaze lingered on the several evening gowns brought by Lucas, finally settling on the fiery red long dress. “Just this one.” With a lift of her finger, Kate decisively made a decision. Kate’s facial features were outstanding and striking. She had a strong appearance; even without makeup, she was stunningly beautiful at first sight. After carefully applying makeup, her whole aura instantly elevated. Although it was heavy makeup, it couldn’t hide Kate’s natural charm, but instead complemented it. She was glamorous without being vulgar, enchanting without being tacky, making her shine like a flame. Paired with the fiery red evening gown, she looked like a queen who had emerged from the flames. Just standing there exuded a strong sense of superiority, unattainable. The makeup artist and stylist were momentarily stunned. Kate calmly looked at herself in the mirror. uames shimmering on her as she walked. Her long hair was styled into a bun held in place with a phoenix–shaped hairpin, and she wore a ruby necklace around her fair neck that shone brightly. On her wrist was a matching ruby bracelet, making her look like a phoenix reborn from the flames, proud, noble, and elegant. It was a style that Kate had never tried before. With a smile on her lips, Kate’s gaze turned to the somewhat dazed Lucas, her voice calm as she asked, “Where is Eric?” Lucas snapped out of his daze at the sound of her voice and immediately respectfully replied, “Madam, please wait a moment. Mr. Eric is already on his way back to Summer Estate to accompany you to the Emperor Hotel” The Emperor Hotel was the venue for tonight’s banquet, and it was also the most luxurious and prestigious hotel in Capital City. Any high–class gatherings or banquets in Capital City would choose to be held at the Emperor Hotel. As soon as Lucas finished speaking, Eric’s exclusive car had already entered the door. The back window of the car rolled down, and Eric, dressed in a black suit, exuded a cold and restrained aura. He looked towards Kate’s direction, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. He took a deep look at Kate, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, “Get in the car.” Kate smiled and then sat beside Eric, naturally linking her arm with his. “Thank you, Eric, for coming to pick me up. I really like the evening gown.” Eric glanced at her, but did not pull away, allowing Kate to link arms with him. As Kate lowered her gaze, a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes. She wanted to see how Ruth would frame Hendrick at tonight’s banquet! At the Emperor Hotel, the vehicles coming and going were endless, each one belonging to prominent figures. The security at the hotel entrance was extremely tight, inspecting every person’s invitation.

Melanie was taken aback by Stephanie’s furious outburst and stuttered to comfort her, “S–Stephanie, I’m sorry. I am the one who caused trouble for you. But I did it for your good because I wanted to help you. Who knew Milly, that b*tch, still had a trick up her sleeve.” Melanie genuinely considered Stephanie to be her close sister. When she heard Stephanie’s complaint, she didn’t hesitate to stand by her side, treating Milly as their common enemy. In reality, she had no personal grudge against Milly. However, seeing Stephanie being forced to apologise in front of the entire school because of her, she felt even more guilty. She forgot that she could have simply ignored the whole situation. Stephanie took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to lash out. This Melanie, she’s just a fool. Apologising in front of Milly was one thing, but she dragged me into it and made me apologise in front of many people. She’s completely ruined my reputation! If my parents and brothers found out, they would look down on me. Then, everything I had accomplished in the Burnetts would go to waste. But now she couldn’t break up with Melanie. After all, the only pawn she could use now was her. If Melanie didn’t help her, she would be too weak against Milly. “It’s okay. I was just too angry just now. I didn’t expect my sister to be so heartless, not even willing to let me go, so I made you suffer with me. I’m sorry, Melanie, it’s all my fault. Stephanie pursed her lips; her eyes were red, and her voice choked with sobs like a pitiful little victim. When Melanie saw her like this, her sense of justice returned. She rolled up her sleeves angrily. “Stephanie, you are really too kind. She bullies you so much, but you still call her sister.” Obviously, she had forgotten that they were the ones who started the trouble on purpose. Stephanie sniffed, her tone filled with despair, “Everyone in the family likes my sister. She is outstanding and has now ranked first in the whole grade. I am definitely no match for her. My sister dislikes me, so I dare not say anything.” Melanie felt heartbroken when she heard Stephanie’s pitiful voice. Initially, she envied Stephanie for being born into the Burnetts, with six brothers who treated her like at little princess. But now it seemed that she also had a lot of worries and was very cautious. It’s all because of Milly. Stephanie wouldn’t have suffered so much grievance and hurt if Milly hadn’t returned!

There are so many aspiring actors who would love to work in Mr. Hawkin’s films; how is it possible that they haven’t found a suitable candidate? Stephanie questioned. Melanie quickly explained, “I’ve heard that the requirements for this role are rigorous. The character must be innocent yet worldly–wise, as well as be proficient in ballet.

Understood.” Mr. Tate was genuinely formidable! Tate Group currently holds the position of the largest enterprise in the country, and no one dares to challenge them. Although Tate Group stood in a dominant position, they refrained from pushing out other companies. In fact, George often extends a helping hand to struggling small businesses. However, this time. The Spencer Group has crossed a line with Mr. Thie. However, it’s not solely George’s fault. They should have raised their daughter correctly. They could have targeted anyone, yet they chose to target George’s future wife! George finally found a future wife he adored, but they still dared to mistreat her. They were asking for trouble. The third issue is locating a reputable orphanage in the city. The environment is not a concern, but the security must be good. It’s best if it can lock people in so they can’t go out Danny blurted out, “What? An orphanage?” He was momentarily surprised by the sudden change in topic, Why does Mr. Tate suddenly mention the orphanage? And if he wants to lock people inside so they can’t get out, isn’t that a prison? Does Mr. Tate want to send Melanie to the orphanage because she bullied Ms. Burnett? But Melanie has parents, so the orphanage wouldn’t take her, right? After hesitating momentarily, Danny said, “Mr. Tate, are you planning to send Melanie there?

Then who are you planning to send in?” “William.” Danny widened his eyes, unable to believe it. “Mr. William?” Although Mr. Tate was strict with Mr. William, he had never mistreated him materially. On the contrary, he always protected Mr. William in everything. Even when Mr. William insisted on participating in esports, Mr. Tate investigated many professional e–sports players.

Chapter 25 The Talkative Teacher Milly took a few steps back as she pretended to be afraid. She stood behind Alex and pleaded, “Mr. Ferrell, look. Ms. Hills is still threatening me. Boo hoo, she’s intimidating. How dare she do this in your presence. She’ll beat me to death if I’m left alone. How can I focus on studying for the exams?” I know how to act pitifully too. Witnessing his student in distress, Alex reprimanded Anna, “Ms. Hills, as a teacher, how can you intimidate a student in public like this? Listen to me. Switch with Mr. Lane from Class B for the time being. You will temporarily take over Class B, and we will address your situation in detail after the college entrance examination.” Turning to Milly with a gentle expression, he reassured her. “Don’t be afraid, Milly. Just come to me if you feel that you’re being mistreated. I will seek justice for you, alright?” It was challenging being a principal. He had to console the students while also considering the school’s overall college admission rate. Milly nodded in agreement since she had achived what she wanted. “Okay, Mr. Ferrell.” She aimed to remove Anna from Class A. She didn’t like her, and who knows what schemes she might devise in the future. She wasn’t afraid of her. She just didn’t want to waste time on trivial matters when the college entrance exam was approaching. Upon hearing Alex’s words, Anna had to suppress her emotions no matter how enraged she was. “Yes, Mr. Ferrell.” Fortunately, she hadn’t been fired yet. The fact that Alex allowed her to stay indicated that she still had a chance. She would reclaim what was rightfully hers if she behaved well during this period. As for Milly Anna would have numerous ways to force her out of school before the college entrance exam! Anna looked at Milly with malice and resentment while Milly simply rolled her eyes nonchalantly. Since she could prevent her from teaching in Class A, she also could stop her. Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally resolved the situation. “Alright, now that everything is settled, let’s return to class. Don’t linger here. Milly suddenly exclaimed while looking towards the corner, “Wait, Mr. Ferrell, there’s one more issue that requires you to do justice.” Mr. Ferrell, who was about to depart, stopped in his tracks. “What is it?” This type of student was commendable in a way but always seemed to make enemies everywhere. Milly smiled, “Earlier, Melanie and Stephanie from Class D said that if I could score 700 points, they would bow and apologise in front of the entire school. Now that I have achieved that, I wonder if they will 1/3 25 The Talkative Teacher Melanie and Stephanie, who were attempting to sneak away from the corner, were taken aback. Alex frowned. “Is that so? You two, come out and apologise to Milly.” Stephanie glared at Melanie angrily. Melanie had involved her in this situation. Now, they had to suffer humiliation together. +5 Pearls Melanie hadn’t expected this to happen. Not only did Milly score 700 points, but she was also the first in their grade. With numerous teachers and students watching, they had no choice but to come out and apologise despite their reluctance. “We’re sorry, Milly. We shouldn’t have…. “Stop!” Milly abruptly raised her hand to stop them. Her eyes glinting behind her glasses. “Since you promised to apologise in front of the entire school, you shouldn’t apologise to me here. Isn’t there a swearing–in ceremony next week? You guys should apologise beneath the national flag. What do you think, Mr. Ferrell?” Alex could not refuse. He had relocated Ms. Hills to please Milly earlier on. It was just a small matter for him now, “Alright, let the discipline teacher make arrangements.” Milly smiled when she saw Stephanie and Melanie’s resentful gazes. They had to finish what they started. After everyone left, the sole beneficiary of the entire incident, Sunny, now the class teacher of Class A, approached Milly. “See, Milly. We are fated to be in the same class. Who would have thought that because of your words, I could move from class B to class A in one go instead of struggling for ten years? You are my saviour!” Milly frowned as she found Sunny to be annoying! Sunny felt hurt when Milly ignored him. “Have you forgotten about me, Milly? I supervised your exams. Do you remember my name?” Milly was annoyed by his chatter. “No.” Why is this teacher so talkative? Sunny acted pitifully. “How could you forget me? I was the first teacher you met when you entered. Crestwood High. But I forgive you. Let me remind you again that my name is Sunny Lane. It’s easy to remember. Have you heard the song that was written just for me?” Milly was intrigued, “A song written just for you?” Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Sunny explained enthusiastically. “Yes, that song ‘Sunny‘ by Boney M.” Milly was at a lost for words. 2/3 号64%量 Chapter 25 The Talkative Teacher +5 Pearls.
