However, since some teachers and classmates doubt me, the best way to prove my innocence is to retake the exam.” Upon hearing this, Anna sneered, “Retake the exam? You’ve had access to all the test papers, so if you retake it, you’ll know all the answers, won’t you?” Milly raised her eyes, staring back coldly. It sending shivers down her spine. If you deemed as though her gaze could pierce through Anna’s soul. create the questions on the spot.” Anna was taken aback by this intense gaze. me, Ms. Hills, then it’s only fair for the teachers present to After composing herself, she realised that she had been intimidated by a teenager. Impatiently, she retorted, “Fine. We’ll create the questions on the spot. If you can’t answer them, then you must leave Class A and Crestwood High immediately!” Milly tilted her head and accepted the challenge. “Deal. But if I can answer them, Ms. Hills, resign from Crestwood High! How about that?” you must Anna was caught off guard by this confrontation and slammed her hand on the table in frustration. “How dare you!” Milly remained unfazed and chuckled. “It’s a wager. It’s more exciting that way. Are you afraid, Ms. Hills?” Anna, concerned about her reputation, reluctantly agreed in front of the onlookers. She was confident that Milly couldn’t achieve a perfect score. The group of teachers exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of how the situation had escalated to this point. They remained silent, awaiting the principal’s instructions. Observing Milly’s confidence and Anna’s agitation, the principal raised his hand. “Very well. Let’s have a few teachers present questions to Milly on the spot. If she answers them correctly, it will prove she did cheat ΠΟΙ A teacher volunteered. “I have some physics questions prepared for my class that can be used for Milly’s examination.” As he was about to hand over the questions, Milly interrupted, “Sir, please read them aloud. I can perform mental calculations, so no one can accuse me of concealing answers.” Her tone carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm. Incensed by her sarcastic tone, Anna nearly lost her composure. The teacher frowned and cautioned, “Milly, these are complex questions. It may be challenging to solve them mentally.” Physics questions involved not only calculations but also various formulas. Even completing them with a pen in a minute would be impressive. However, Milly remained confident and insisted, “It’s fine, sir. Please proceed with the questions.” 1/3 Chapter 24 Answering on the Spot Recognising her determination, the teacher began reading the question. +6 Pearls The angle between the conveyor belt and the horizontal direction is 37, and the taut conveyor belt AB moves at a constant speed. A small block with a mass of 4 kg is placed at point A without any initial velocity. The sliding friction force of the conveyor belt on the block causes the block to star accelerating uniformly, eventually moving at a constant speed in a straight line at the same rate as the conveyor belt. Given the dynamic friction factor between the object and the conveyor belt, the distance between AB, and 10 m/s, determine the magnitude of the acceleration when the small block is accelerating uniformly. a = 0.4 m/s Almost immediately after the teacher finished reading the question, Milly provided the answer. Everyone present was stunned, unable to believe that someone could solve the problem so quickly. The teacher was the only one who muttered in disbelief, “Yes, the answer is indeed a = 0.4 m/s “Moving on to the second question, if the horizontal external force starts pulling the rod from rest and does 0.3] of work in 2 seconds The Q&A session continued. For several consecutive questions, Milly could immediately blurt out the answers upon hearing them, and she could even respond fluently to the questions the teacher improvised on the spot. After each subject teacher finished asking questions, they all looked at her with admiration, their eyes showing appreciation. This child is truly a rare talent! Anna’s expression changed drastically after she heard Milly fluently answer question after question, and she exclaimed in disbelief, “It’s impossible. This is absolutely impossible! How could anyone solve even complex problems mentally like this?!” Milly hugged her arms and looked at her coldly. “Ms. Hills, if you still don’t believe it, then continue to test me. I have plenty of time, and you will believe me sooner or later.” “That’s enough.” The principal couldn’t help but speak up when he saw this. “Milly is able to answer questions fluently, indicating a solid knowledge base. The results must be genuine, and there’s no need for further testing. Let’s end this matter here.” Hearing the principal’s words, no one dared to say anything more. Only Milly looked expressionless at Anna and said loudly, “Since I have answered all the questions correctly and proved that I did not cheat, when will you fulfill your promise, Ms. Hills?” Anna’s face changed. Her original intention was to drive Milly away, but she didn’t expect to make a mess of things and push herself to the edge of … Read More “Reborn of Kate Chapter 24” »

Chapter 23 Anthony Speaks for Her +5 Pearls Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Stephanie brushed her long hair away from her forehead and behind her ears, a slight blush on her face as she walked slowly towards Williamn. “William, how did you know I wanted shaved ice? Thank you,” she said, reaching out to take it. But as soon as her fingers touched the bag, it was abruptly snatched away. William held onto the bag tightly, looking incredulous. “Are you out of your mind? If you want some, buy it yourself. Why take mine?” Stephanie was left speechless. Hasn’t he always bought drinks and snacks for me? Isn’t this form weP Completely stunned, Stephanie awkwardly said, “William, I am Stephanie.” William furrowed his brow, looking at her as if she were crazy. “Call yourself whatever you want; it’s none of my business. Even if you call yourself Michelle Obama, you still have to pay for what you want to eat.” Seeing this, Milly couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Putting everything else aside, William’s way of responding was quite amusing. William placed the shaved ice on Milly’s table, his expression immediately changing to a warm smile, “Milly, I bought this for you. I added extra sprinkles and raisins.” Normally, Milly would never accept this shaved ice. She didn’t like people favours. But now, being able to enjoy sweet shaved ice while witnessing Stephanie’s embarrassed expression seemed like a good deal. She licked her lips and accepted the shaved ice, saying, “Thank you.” William’s eyes lit up when he saw her accept it, showing her approval of his gesture. He felt greatly encouraged. “Boss, if you like it, I’ll buy it for you ten times a day!” Milly replied, “Um… there’s really no need. Thank you.” Ten shaved ice in a day! This guy must be trying to give me a brain freeze. Stephanie bit her lip in anger, glaring fiercely at Milly. This girl, she’s doing it on purpose! The whole school knew that William had a crush on her, so she deliberately approached him and flirted with him, but she ended up embarrassing herself. As she listened to the surrounding mocking laughter, her face turned red with a sense of indignation that almost brought her to tears. The shame made her want to escape from the situation immediatel Melanie, who was beside her, couldn’t confront William directly, even if she was upset. She could only stop Stephanie from leaving and comfort her softly. “Stephanie, endure it for now. When the principal and teachers arrive, Milly will have a tough time.” Stephanie’s foot, which was about to step out, halted abruptly. 1/3 Chapter 23 Anthony Speaks for Her 047 45 Pearls Yes, I can’t leave yet. I still have to witness Milly’s downfall! I want to see what tricks she has up her sleeve this time to escape unscathed The principal was in a meeting in his office when he heard the news, and his eyebrows furrowed in anger. 10 It was difficult for the school to produce a top student, but finally, a genius emerged. However, there was a lack of respect from someone who kept spreading rumours endlessly. The principal led a group of teachers into the classroom and asked sternly, “What’s going on?” The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Melanic bravely stepped forward, pointing at Milly and accusing, “Mr. Ferrell, teachers, Milly cheated in the exam! Her grades this time are fake; they are not her real grades at all Before the principal could respond, Anna, who was standing behind him, heard the news and immediately spoke. “I knew this Milly must be up to something. So she cheated! Mr. Ferrell, since she cheated on the exam, she violated the school rules. I request that this student with such improper conduct be expelled from Crestwood High!” She had long found Milly disrespectful and disobedient. She openly challenged her in the classroom, causing her to lose face. So what if she had good grades? Even if she excelled, it wouldn’t matter. Now there was a reason to expel her, which was even better. Upon hearing this, William immediately became anxious. “Mr. Ferrell, don’t listen to her nonsense. My boss… uh, Milly couldn’t have cheated. She wouldn’t do that!” This blind trust left Milly momentarily speechless. Anna snorted coldly, clearly skeptical. “Am I supposed to just take your word for it? Did you see her complete the exam?” “I…” William was at a loss for words. He took the exam in Class A, while Milly took it in Class D. They were so far apart, so how could he have seen anything? Melanie and Stephanie exchanged smiles, not expecting even the homeroom teacher of Class A to suspect. that Milly was cheating. This time, Milly would not get out of this! However, at that moment, a clear voice came from the back of the crowd. “I can bear witness.” Everyone turned to look and saw a tall and upright teenager in school uniform holding a stack of test papers at the door, looking like he had just returned from fetching them. He took a step forward in everyone’s view, still holding the test papers, and continued, “During the exam, I saw Milly handing in her paper early. She submitted her integrated science paper about an hour after the exam started, and her math and English papers about forty minutes later. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Ferrell, you can ask the invigilator at the time or check the surveillance footage.” At this point, one of the teachers spoke up. “That’s true. There was indeed a student who submitted their paper shortly after the exam began. I even glanced at the paper, and it was exceptionally well done.” Another teacher added, “Now that you mention it, I do recall something like that.” 2/3 64% Chapter 23 Anthony Speaks for Her +5 Pearls … Read More “Reborn of Kate Chapter 23” »
Chapter 22 Cheating? When these words were spoken, Anna’s already displeased expression darkened even further. Milly really doesn’t know how to show respect to the teacher. 64%% +5 Pearls Upon hearing Milly’s words, William suddenly recalled something. He quickly chimed in, “She’s right, Ms. Hills. Didn’t you mention before that Milly got in through connections? And now she’s ranked first in the entire grade. How do you explain that? Didn’t you also promise that if she could score 700 points, you would make her the class monitor? Ms. Hills, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?” Anna tightly gripped the chalk in her hand, trying to compose herself. “Alright, from now on, Milly will be the class monitor for Class A. Let’s focus on the questions, everyone.” With just a few words, she moved on without offering an apology. William was about to speak up, but Milly stopped him by shaking her head. There was no need to stir up trouble. Her grades were stable enough to warrant a place in Class A, and the online rumours about her using connections would likely be debunked on their own. Their objectives had been achieved, so there was no need to further provoke Anna. William now looked up to Milly, and even his intense anger was subdued when he saw her gesture. He muttered. “You’re too forgiving, Milly. If it were me, I would definitely make her regret it!” Milly replied, “Uh… there’s no need for that.” I really don’t understand why kids are so hot–headed these days. Anthony was seated behind Milly, and with a slight turn of his head, he noticed that William and Milly seemed engrossed in conversation. Their heads were getting closer, and unexpectedly. William leaned in to whisper something in Milly’s car, eliciting a smile from her. Crack. The plastic pen in Anthony’s hand snapped under the pressure. Is Milly oblivious? Doesn’t she realise this is class time! Just because she topped the exam, does she think she can slack off in class? Can she guarantee she’ll come first next time? What’s there to discuss with that mediocre William? Besides… she didn’t even smile at me, but she smiled at that mediocre William! Hmph. “Milly, Milly, something’s wrong. Quick, look at the blog!” Allison held a water cup, not even taking a sip, and hurried over to Milly before handing her the phone. Milly had just been about to rest during break time, but before she could lie down, she was called over, and her mind hadn’t fully awakened yet. But when she saw the bold words on the phone, even her groggy mind instantly cleared up. 1/3 18:05 Sat, 22 Jun GB Chapter 22 Cheating? The top student in the grade, Milly, was caught cheating in the exam!” 号:64%由 +5 Pearls After scrolling down, she found someone had even shared some of the original owner’s previous report cards, all showing failing grades, “I knew her grades couldn’t be real. It’s impossible for anyone to score full marks in three subjects!” Heh. Maybe it’s difficult to cheat on the English essay; that’s why she didn’t get full marks. You fraud. Get out of Crestwood High!” Milly’s lips curled slightly. She found it absurd that this feeble and immature attempt to manipulate public opinion would be taken seriously. Even a child could guess who was behind this. However, she was impressed by Stephanie’s ability to easily obtain the original owner’s school transcript and watch from afar as the drama unfolded. Tsk, tsk. Stephanie isn’t as naive as she seems. Just as the classroom buzzed with chatter, a figure appeared at the door of Class A. With her head held high, Melanie angrily pointed at Milly with the transcript in her hand, exclaiming. “Milly, how dare you cheat!” Well, that was quick. She’s so impatient. Milly raised an eyebrow, handed the phone back to Allison, and leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, remaining calm in the face of the accusation. “Melanie, you accuse me of cheating, but where is the evidence?” Melanie snorted and slammed the phone on the table, revealing the original owner’s school transcript. “This is the evidence. You failed every test before, but suddenly scored so high this time. If it’s not cheating, then what is it?” Milly lazily raised her eyes to look at her, a playful glint in her eyes behind her glasses as she calmly replied, “Melanie, do you know what evidence means? Evidence is something that can prove the facts of a case, such as testimonies, physical evidence, audio–visual materials, etc. What you provided can hardly be considered evidence.” “What…” Seeing her being so stubborn, Melanie was trembling with anger. At this moment, Stephanie also walked in from behind, still as innocent and pure as ever, looking as if she were exuding kindness. She tugged at Melanie’s sleeve and whispered, “Melanie, don’t be angry. Although Milly’s grades were not good before, she must have worked hard to score so high this time. I believe in her.” What a great actress! Melanie was so angry that she almost jumped. “Stephanie, you are just too kind; that’s why you believe her lies and get deceived by her. She must have cheated!” Then she looked at Milly confidently, with a sneer on her face. “Hmoh, even if you don’t admit it. it doesn’t 2/3 Chapter 22 Cheating? … Read More “Reborn of Kate Chapter 22” »
Chapter 21 Hello, Master Even though he was gazing at her wrist instead of making eye contact, Milly still felt a twinge of discomfort. Unable to bear it, she quickly pulled down her sleeve to conceal the bracelet. “Do you …” +5 Pearls Before Milly could finish her sentence, she witnessed the man’s haughty expression transform into shock, and the eyes that met hers were filled with fear. Then, to her surprise, he bowed deeply in her direction. “Hello, Master. “Goodbye, Master.” By t By the time Milly processed what had just happened, the individual had already vanished. The woman beside her observed his sudden departure and attempted to call out loudly to detain him. Young man, do you still want your shaved ice?” However, Pink Hair was nowhere to be seen. Milly glanced down at the bracelet on her wrist, pondering whether the man’s peculiar behaviour was linked to the bracelet. Could it be that this bracelet harbours a hidden secret? Nevertheless, after scrutinising it carefully for some time, she could not discern any enigmas. It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary silver bracelet. That man must be out of his mind! Meanwhile, Pink Hair hurried to the depths of the alley. He ensured he was at a safe distance before finally relaxing. Leaning against the wall, he took several deep breaths. Subsequently, with trembling hands, he retrieved a black phone from the pocket of his neon–green leather jacket, unlocked it, and dialed a number. The phone rang for a moment before someone answered. “Oliver, you’d better have a good reason for calling me at this hour. If you’re just babbling nonsense, I swear I’ll end you!” Pink Hair, also known as Oliver disregarded the threat on the other end of the line, panting as he spoke, “Hey, listen up. I saw the new sect leader!” There was a brief silence on the other end. “It’s midnight here in Maldonia. Is it also midnight where you are? Are you suggesting that the spirit of the 1/4 Chapter 21 Hello, Master +5 Pearis Oliver stomped his foot in frustration. “Hey! Watch your words, lest the sect leader decide to pay you a visit. I’m talking about the new sect leader! I saw her with my own eyes. I couldn’t have mistaken the bracelet. “But what bailles me is that the new sect leader is actually a high school student.” Another pause ensued on the phone. After a moment, a clicking sound was heard, as if a lighter had been ignited. “Are you absolutely certain you didn’t make an error?” “What do you take me for? The bracelet was right in front of me. I wouldn’t risk getting expelled from the Ghost Sect by making a mistake!” Oliver retorted angrily. “Understood. I’ll be back in the country soon. We’ll discuss this further when we meet.” .40. It seemed that the individual on the other end of the line could sense Oliver’s hesitation, so he didn’t hang up but inquired further. “What? Is something else bothering you?” Oliver gulped nervously and cautiously said, “I didn’t realise she was the sect leader earlier, so I was a bit… disrespectful. Do you think I’m in danger of being punished? “Sob. I still have a lot to accomplish in my career. I’m not ready to meet my dernise just yet. “If the worst happens, remember to get me a nice little urn. I hate metal ones. I want a ceramic one with flowers on it, but not roses, Roses are so cliche, and they don’t suit my style-” Before he could finish, the call had already been disconnected. Crestwood High’s efficiency was remarkable, as the results were announced the following morning. However, it wasn’t their homeroom teacher, Anna, who entered to deliver the news, but the principal, who beamed like a sunflower. He held a piece of paper, stood on the platform with a smile, and cleared his throat before saying. “Ahem, students, this time, class A has made great progress overall. The average score has increased from 680 points in the last exam to 705 points. This is a significant improvement!” As soon as this was said, the whole class erupted in excitement. The exam was particularly challenging this time, and they had managed to have a breakthrough, which was a first for them. “One student performed exceptionally well this time, scoring full marks in three subjects and only losing five points in English. She achieved a total score of 745, securing the top spot in the grade!” After the principal finished speaking, everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards Anthony in the back TOW.

20 Reborn of Kate Finished Chapter 20 Sleep With Me? Eric looked down at the hand holding his, then at the lady pleading with him. Her watery eyes were full of pleading and helplessness, and the wound on her red lips was very obvious, even more vivid and charming with the bloodstain. His eyes deepened, and his throat rolled uncontrollably. This kind of Kate easily stirred up the deep, suppressed, and violent emotions in his heart. He wished he could imprison her by his side forever, wishing to merge her into his blood and bones… “Honey.” Kate called softly again. Eric snapped out of it, grunted, and then sat back on the sofa, his gaze falling on the carefully prepared table of food. Then Eric said nothing, as if nothing had happened just now, calmly picked up the cutlery and speared the food. Kate’s heart suddenly relaxed; her heart was beating fast just now, almost jumping out of her chest. Eric just now was on the verge of losing control, but fortunately she managed to stabilise him in the end. Otherwise, she was afraid she would be devoured by Eric’s violence. Thinking of Eric’s combat power in that aspect, she couldn’t help but tremble involuntarily. “Lost in thought again?” Eric’s cold voice sounded, he put down the cutlery, his deep eyes staring at Kate. Kate coughed lightly and then looked at Eric with a hint of grievance in her voice, soft as if it wasn’t her, then she said, “It’s all because of you scaring me just now.” Eric was silent. Eric pursed his lips, although he didn’t speak, his aura softened a lot. He turned his gaze away, and said lightly, “The food is delicious.” Kate suddenly smiled, her bright smile making Eric stunned again. “As long as you like it.” Eric awkwardly averted his gaze from Kate’s face. He had been distracted and out of control several times today, all because Kate was acting so Balance: 916 +0 Chapter 20 Sleep With Me? Finished On one hand, she was being affectionate and pleasing to him, and on the other hand, she had to meet with Ruth and the others at the banquet. Which is the real you, Kate? Seemingly preoccupied with something, Eric ate half more than usual under Kate’s covert feeding. When he realised it, he saw Kate looking at him with a mischievous smile. He rubbed his forehead with a headache, then stood up with a cold face. “Get some rest.” After saying this, Eric turned and left. “Eric!” Seeing him about to leave, Kate called out anxiously, pouting with a hint of grievance, “What about you? Aren’t you…?” Her tone stretched out, even more aggrieved as she said, “Aren’t you going to sleep with me?” Eric glanced at her sideways. Kate sat on the sofa, looking a bit lost. Her eyes were wet as they stared at him, her face filled with a pitiful look, and a hint of brokenness hidden in the depths of her eyes. “Do you want me to sleep with you?” Eric casually raised his hand to adjust his tie. It was a simple gesture but with a strong sense of aggression and oppression, his eyes swirling with indiscernible emotions. Summer nodded hurriedly. Eric looked at her for a long time, but in the end, he couldn’t resist her. They had been sleeping in separate rooms for three years since they got married. Kate used to never allow Eric to enter her room, resisting all forms of intimacy. Eric had always accommodated her, giving her enough space and freedom. Of course, this was only in the Summer Estate. But after three years of marriage, this was the first time that Kate had requested something from him in a position of absolute weakness. And that was to take her to a banquet. This banquet was organised by a foreign investor who was seeking potential partners in domestic enterprises, so it carried significant importance. Both Ruth and Simon held senior positions in the Lowe Group and were eligible to attend.

Chapter 19 You Hurt Me Eric’s aggressive aura surrounded Kate like a punishment, making her feel suffocated. “Eric!” After a while, she finally gasped for breath and cried out, “You hurt me.” Her soft, hoarse voice with a hint of tears suddenly pierced Eric’s mind. The broken string in his mind was reconnected by her words. Eric took a step back abruptly, his face still showing fierceness and coldness. He stared at the wound on Kate’s lips, the panic and tears in her eyes, feeling even more agitated, his fists clenched tightly. D*mmit, I hurt her again. Just as he turned to leave, Kate reached out and grabbed Eric’s hand. Eric froze, his cold eyes glancing back at Kate. With his help, Kate stood up and threw herself into Eric’s slightly cold embrace. Her voice was trembling and filled with grievances, “Eric, why didn’t you let me finish?” Eric remained still, his cold aura softening slightly. With his eyes still crimson, he waited quietly for Kate to continue. “I wanted to attend the banquet because … I wanted to appear as your wife.” Kate’s eyes were red, her voice tinged with a sob. “Everyone says I am just a toy you keep, and you might dump me when you get tired of me. We’ve been married for three years and you’ve never taken me to a public event.” She lifted her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I haven’t seen my parents and brother for three years.” As she spoke, Kate’s spirit seemed somewhat trance–like. Yes, three years. She had been married to Eric for three years now. Three years ago, when she was forced to marry Eric, she had cut off all ties with her parents in anger and had not contacted them since. She even blocked and deleted their numbers, so she had no idea what kind of trouble Lowe Group was currently facing. If she remembered correctly, it was at this banquet that Lowe Group was embroiled in a scandal involving her brother. Her brother had been set up, drugged, and had relations with a girl, who then accused him of rape. Chapter 19 You Hurt Me Finished As a result, Lowe Group’s stock plummeted, and at the time, she was deceived by Ruth and Simon, who claimed that everything was orchestrated by Eric to ruin Lowe Group’s reputation and steal their projects without a fight. She believed them, and her relationship with Eric became more and more strained, eventually falling apart. So after she was reborn, she did everything she could to coax Eric and repair their fragile relationship, not just because she wanted to make it up to him and love him, but also because she wanted to gain his trust, to get Eric to agree to let her leave Summer Estate and take her to the banquet together! She wanted to stop everything that Ruth and Simon were planning, to prevent the tragedy of her brother from starting! Eric did not expect Kate to say such words. He stared at her in a daze, with various emotions churning violently in his heart. Originally, his heart was like a stagnant pool with no ripples, but now, because of Kate’s words, it stirred up a storm. It turned out… he was wrong. He thought she wanted to meet Simon in private, but he didn’t expect her to say that she was willing to attend the banquet as his wife. Just this sentence was enough to calm the raging anger in Eric’s heart, but because of her words. afterwards, his heart was filled with tenderness and guilt. Kate carefully held Eric’s hand, gently shaking it, her tone soft and pleading, “Eric, will you take me there? Please?” Send Gifts
Chapter 18 Naughty Kate “Ric, you’re back!” Upon seeing Eric’s car return, Kate flew out of the mansion directly, and ran straight to his side. without hesitation, burying herself in his arms. Eric looked inscrutable as he watched Kate throw herself into his embrace. His face was calm, making it impossible to discern his true emotions. He stood there quietly. Only after Kate let go, he faintly spoke, “Had enough hugs?” She smiled and looked at him, replying, “Not enough.” His eyes deepened as he grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her away from him. However, he remembered the voice he had intercepted from the monitor program. His aura suddenly turned cold. Unaware of his emotions, Kate pointed inside the garden and said with a smile, “Ric, do you like the garden?” Eric glanced indifferently around and said nothing, striding inside. Kate stumbled and followed beside him. His steps were too big, and she couldn’t keep up. Eric noticed this and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He slowed down his pace, allowing her to catch up. But as soon as they entered, his steps came to a halt. He scanned the entire living room without a word. All the messy paintings had been removed, and in the most prominent position in the centre, hung the wedding photo of him and Kate. His expression darkened a bit. The changes in Summer Estate were obviously related to Kate. Did she want to embarrass him like this? She gets close to him, pleases him, and then delivers a fatal blow. At this moment, Kate stood in front of him with a bright smile, “Are you satisfied, Ric?” Eric looked deeply at Kate, his voice indifferent, “As long as you like it.” “Come on, let’s wash up and cat.” She smiled and took his hand, like an ordinary couple, waiting for him to wash up before leading him to the dining table. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Eric’s expression became more serious. He was forced to sit on the sofa by Kate, while she sat opposite him. She smiled and said gently, “I made these dishes myself. Try them.” Eric remained silent. His expression became even colder. 12:18 PM Chapter 18 Naughty Kate Finished gradually became colder, his dominant and overbearing aura slowly spreading out. He sat on the sofa, and seemed to blend in with the dark colours, with only his deep eyes seeming to want to completely engulf Kate. Kate inexplicably stiffened. In her past life, she had a big fight with Eric, forcing him to the brink of losing control. Even in that state, he never hurt her, but she still avoided him like the plague, full of fear and disgust, desperately wanting to escape. Later, he signed the divorce agreement, and she left the Summer Estate without looking back. “Kate.” She heard Eric’s voice, suppressed to the extreme, with a slight tremor. The man on the sofa, almost blending into the dark, suddenly stood up. His tall figure exuded a strong sense of oppression. He took a step forward with his long legs and pressed her against the sofa with absolute dominance, looking down at her face. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of temptation, “What do you want?” Kate took a deep breath, staring directly at him, and said word by word, “I want you to take me to tomorrow’s banquet.” She had her own reasons to go. Even though she knew Eric’s anger was on the verge of exploding. She had to seize this opportunity and make him agree to take her. There was a volcanic eruption in his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. His eyes were filled with intense disappointment and madness. He said with a hoarse voice, “Kate, you are very naughty.” So, she’s trying so hard to please me, all just for a secret meeting with Simon at the banquet, isn’t it? I knew it. How could this heartless and arrogant woman suddenly change her ways? All the previous tenderness and sweetness, it’s probably all an act! Her neck was suddenly gripped, and Kate felt her breath becoming uneasy. The big hand with distinct bones tightened inch by inch. The fierceness and madness in the man’s eyes in front of her were terrifying. “Ric, I… “Hmph..” Her words of explanation were suddenly silenced. Eric’s aggressive aura swept over, more crazed and brutal than ever before. He was fierce, domineering, and carried a punitive force that seemed to want to completely devour Kate.
Chapter 17 Never Let Unrelated People In Again Ruth made several phone calls, and just as she was about to lose her patience, the phone finally connected. She couldn’t wait to speak, “Kate, I came to Summer Estate to find you, but the security guard stopped me outside! They are a bunch of fools. Aren’t they afraid of losing their jobs?” On the other end of the line, Kate’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and her eyes grew colder. She calmly said, “They would lose their jobs if they let you in.” Ruth was taken aback. She rubbed her ear, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard, and asked, “Kate, what do you mean by that?” Kate chuckled softly, “Summer Estate will no longer allow unrelated people in.” Ruth was speechless. She tightened her grip on her phone, frowned, and said somewhat hurt, “Kate, are you saying that I am an unrelated person? “Then who else would it be?” Kate tapped the table lightly with her index finger. Her expression turned cold, and she said, “This time, Eric no longer trusts me as much. If you still have no sense and come to Summer Estate, be careful not to end up in trouble!” After Kate finished speaking, she lowered her voice and quickly added, “Let’s discuss it at the banquet tomorrow. I will ask Eric to take me there.” Then, she hung up the phone without hesitation. She stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the entrance of Summer Estate, her gaze following the distant figure of Ruth. Then, she chuckled and lowered her eyes. The show has just begun. Meanwhile, Ruth at the entrance had a sudden change in expression. Her eyes were filled with cold and complex emotions. She felt that something was amiss. Kate beat Simon and didn’t allow her into Summer Estate. Could it be that she truly wanted to gain Eric’s trust and have him take her to the banquet tomorrow? If that was the case, she could benefit from Kate again tomorrow. Her expression kept changing, and then suddenly she heard the roar of an engine. She turned around, looking behind her, and was instantly frightened. Without thinking, she panicked and ran into the nearby forest, still in her high heels. In her haste, she twisted her foot and fell to the ground in a miserable state. She quickly covered her mouth tightly, trembling as she lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound. It wasn’t until the sound of the car faded that Ruth dared to get up. She looked towards the entrance of Summer Estate with some fear. She was not mistaken. The car just now belonged to Eric, the limited edition Rolls–Royce. She had admired it from afar many times but only dared to look. Thankfully, she reacted quickly and ran away. Otherwise, if Eric found out Thinking of his ruthless ways, Ruth couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably. Eris is a complete madman! She only dares to come to Summer Estate to flaunt her power because of Kate. She used to have the privilege to enter and exit Summer Estate freely but only did so when Eric was absent. Eric is too terrifying. Ruth limped down the road, feeling intense pain in her ankle. Her face contorted, and she ground her teeth fiercely. It’s all because of Kate! Why didn’t she just finish off Eric with one blow after stabbing him? I’m afraid she has completely angered him this time. Why else would she resort to such tactics to earn his trust? That incompetent Kate better find a way to please him, or she will not have a good life ahead of her! Once we have full control of the Lowe Group, I will surely escalate the humiliation I experienced today and pay it back to Kate tenfold or even a hundredfold! Send Gifts
Chapter 16 Did She Poison the Food? The wedding photo was the only picture of her and Eric together. In the photo, both of them had a cold expression on their faces, not like a newlywed couple, but more like they had a deep grudge, not intimate at all. Kate rubbed her chin thoughtfully. It seemed like she needed to find time to take wedding photos. with Eric. For now, she could only reluctantly hang this one. Rolling up her sleeves and putting on an apron, she hummed a tune happily as she entered the kitchen. The mood of all the servants in Summer Estate was tense all afternoon because Kate was acting abnormally today. She had them renovate the entire garden, rearranging all the messy vegetation and trees outside, taking down all the paintings on the walls, and replacing them with her and Eric’s wedding photo. Now, she even went to the kitchen herself. What was she trying to do? Could it be that she had come up with a new way to torment Eric again? Everyone in Summer Estate was worried, afraid she would come up with something new. But after watching her busy in the kitchen alone, not even needing their help, and soon bringing out plate after plate of exquisite dishes, everyone felt like they were dreaming. George stared at the table full of delicious dishes. A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind. Could it be that Mrs. Davison is poisoning the food? As this idea grew stronger in his mind, George felt restless. He had to find a way to test whether there was poison in the food. Kate was unaware of his thoughts. At this moment, she looked at the table full of dishes with a sense of satisfaction. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Lowes and had been pampered since childhood, she could also cook well. It was somewhat ridiculous to think that she had learned to cook for Simon voluntarily. In her previous life, she had never cooked for Eric even once. She was determined to make regret in this life. up for that After taking a photo from a good angle with her phone, Kate was ready to send it to Eric and ask when he would be back. However, when she opened her phone, she was immediately embarrassed. Balance: 987 +0 12:17 PM Chapter 16 Did She Poison the Food? long ago. Finished During the three days she had stayed by his side in the hospital, she had completely forgotten that she had blocked him. “George,” Kate spoke to George again. George’s gaze was still fixed on the table of food, contemplating how to test if there was poison in it. Hearing her voice, he instinctively looked over. She cleared her throat, trying to hide her embarrassment, and said, “Please ask when Ric will be back.” She hesitated awkwardly for a moment and added, “Or you can give me his number, and I’ll ask him myself.” George looked at Kate expressionlessly and said coldly, “I’ll ask Mr. Eric.” Kate didn’t mind his cold attitude, but nodded and sat on the sofa, resting her chin and looking a bit absent–minded. Buzz! The phone suddenly vibrated. Kate glanced at it. Her eyes instantly turned cold. It was a call from Ruth. At this moment, Ruth was standing at the entrance of Summer Estate, staring at the security guard who was blocking her with dissatisfaction. She didn’t mince her words, saying, “I warn you to let me in quickly. Who do you think you are to dare stop me? I’ve already called Kate. Be careful when she finds out and fires you!” The security guard’s expression was cold and indifferent. He sneered disdainfully at her words, rolled his eyes, and said nothing. Ruth stomped her foot in frustration at his attitude. Then, she glanced at her phone irritably. D*mn it! Why isn’t Kate answering her phone?
Chapter 15 Come Home Early, I’ll Cook for You Summer Estate is considered a top–notch mansion area in Capital City. It is Eric’s private mansion, but the greenery inside the mansion is messy. There are even large bald patches in the garden. There is no doubt that this is the masterpiece of Kate in the past. Kate’s face blushed slightly. At the same time, she sighed secretly. What kind of mess did I do before? Eric did not get out of the car. He just rolled down the window and looked at her coldly, saying, “Rest well. If you need anything, just tell George.” She looked at Eric steadily. Her eyes suddenly showed a hint of grievance, and she asked, “Eric, why don’t I tell you?” Eric pursed his lips slightly, his eyes deepened at the words. He turned his gaze away and said lightly, “As you wish.” Kate smiled and said seriously, “Then, find someone to renovate the garden first. I want to plant roses. And this messy area is too ugly, not neat at all. It will affect the mood.” Eric’s voice remained calm, “As you wish.” George took a deep look at Kate, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. This garden used to be filled with roses because Eric knew Kate liked roses. But what did she do? She scolded them harshly, saying the garden didn’t deserve to have roses and ordered them all to be pulled out. Then, she kept making all sorts of unreasonable demands every few days, causing chaos in the garden. The once beautiful scenery was completely ruined, all because… Eric had a cleanliness obsession and obsessive compulsion. Kate used this method to force Eric to visit the garden less often. Now, she has changed her mind again. Why? Kate looked at Eric with a smile and said, “Ric, you still have a wound on your shoulder. Don’t overwork yourself. Come home early tonight. I’ll cook for you.” After saying that, she walked into the house humming a tune. Eric stared blankly at her cheerful figure. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. She said to come home early at night and cook for me? Home … 12:17 PM Chapter 15 Come Home Early, I’ll Cook for You Eric subconsciously clenched his fists and covered his chest with his hand. His heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out at any moment. Finished The subtle feeling of joy exploded in the depths of his heart. Eric’s lips curled slightly, then quickly smoothed out. His eyes returned to their former depth, as if brewing an invisible storm, with the centre of the storm being Kate. He raised his hand to his forehead and calmly instructed the driver, “Go to the company.” At this moment, Kate stood on the balcony on the second floor, watching the car gradually drive away. Her eyes were gradually darkened. “George.” She called out to George downstairs, pointing to the messy and dark paintings hanging on the wall, “Take all these things down. They’re annoying to look at.” These paintings were deliberately bought to annoy Eric, as she had heard that he disliked such dark and oppressive things. In her past life, she had gone to great lengths to keep Eric away. George looked at Kate confusedly and replied, “Yes.” The people George found worked quickly and efficiently. Soon the entire Summer Estate became refreshed. Without the previous gloomy, oppressive, and messy feeling, it instead added a touch of warmth. However, Kate stood in the living room, staring at the wedding photo of her and Eric hanging on the opposite wall, and disdainfully pursed her lips.
