Chapter 136
Jade’s Spanish class was a nightmare for the students of Class 2
During her class, Flora wouldn’t listen at all, blatantly taking out her phone from the desk to play
She was chatting with Connor.
like? I’ll make it and bring it to school.]
Connor: [rm cooking tonight. What would you like
Flora: [Fish and tomato and potato stew]
Connor: [Okay]
Flora smiled, putting down her phone, only to meet Jade’s murderous gaze. Flora lazily mised an eyebrow in response.
Jade was so angry, refusing to look at Flora any longer.
When the class was finally over, Dane, Alex, and Kaylee, among others, went to the cafeteria to eat. They knew Flora would be having lunch with Connor again, so they greeted her before heading off.
Flora had barely laid her head down on the desk for five minutes when her phone rang.
It was Connor.
She pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.
I’m at the school gate. Come out
“Okay”
Flora exited the school and walked less than fifty meters to the right before seeing Connor’s car.
She jogged over and climbed into the back seat. The car was spacious, equipped with a dining table.
On the table were the dishes Flora had requested: tomato and potato stew and fish. There was also a soup.
It smells so good!” Flora hugged Connor’s arm, “You are so talented!”
Connor kissed her forehead and then withdrew his hand to serve her the dishes and soup.
The driver and the passenger seat occupants, Moss and Beck, tried to focus on their tasks, but the delicious small was distracting, making them hungry.
Beck was not just hungry but also a bit annoyed.
This foolish woman, blessed by her fortune, had Mr. Connor cooking for her.
After lunch, Flora rested in Connor’s arms for a while. She had classes in the afternoon and went back to school first.
As soon as the afternoon classes ended, Flora was packing up to go home. That’s when she received a text from Aaron.
[Send me a hundred thousand, Meet me at the Italian restaurant after class, and let’s go see my aunt.]
Flora put her phone in her bag, slowly made her way out of the school, and took a cab to the Italian restaurant.
She wasn’t interested in meeting Aaron, but she was curious about this aunt of his.
Hah
After marrying Aaron in her past life, this aunt had given her a hard time.
She arrived at the private dining room, pushed open the door and inside, besides Aaron, there was a woman and a boy who looked
about thirteen
They were dressed like country folks, their faces dusty, their eyes filled with the hardship and tension of coming to the big city. What Flora remembered, though, was her sharp and mean demeanor
When she helped Aaron squeeze into high society, Aaron had brought over his Aunt Maddle.
Maddie was harsh and made life difficult for her, but Flora endured it all for Aaron
It was ridiculous when she thought about it.
Maddie had never seen a girl as beautiful as Flora and asked Aston curiously, yet with a hint of panic, “Aaron, who is this girl?”
“She’s my classmate.” Aaron gave Flora a look, signaling her to sit down.
Flora sat down gracefully, exuding an innate air of wealth and laziness.
Maddie felt jealous. Why were they bom as country folks while some were born to be high and mighty city dwellers?
“Aaron, what star rating is this hotel? Three-star? Five star? Food here must cost a lot, right?”
1/2
Chapter 136
“Don’t worry about it. Just enjoy the meal, I have plenty of money. Later, I’ll take you to a hotel, a five–star one, with a TV, water heater, and
even a sauna.”
“Oh my, how much will that cost. I know, you’re the most promising in our family. You’re so rich even though you’re still studying. Hans, you must leam well from your cousin.”
Hans nodded vigorously, “I will! I want to be wealthy like him too.”
Aaron’s vanity was immensely satisfied. He picked up the menu and let Maddie choose, but coming from the countryside, she couldn’t read well and asked him to decide.
As Aaron listed many dishes, Maddie was shocked. She might not recognize the dishes, but she could see the prices.
A single dish cost four figures, equivalent to a year’s harvest for a rural family.
The dishes arrived quickly, and Maddie and Hans ate heartily, grease shining on their faces. They grabbed pork knuckles with their hands, splattering grease onto Flora.
A hint of disgust flashed in Flora’s eyes.
Aaron noticed but felt triumphant. These wealthy people always looked down on them, and now he wanted to trample them underfoot.
“Aunt Maddie, after we eat, let’s go get a car. You and Hans will stay here for a while, and it’s inconvenient without one.”
“A car? But we don’t know how to drive.”
“No worries, we’ll get a driver, Aaron said confidently. “Flora can take us to buy a BMW.
“A BMW!”
Maddie was shocked again. Even the wealthiest families in their area couldn’t afford a BMW.
Flora understood now. Aaron had invited her over to pay for their car
Alright then, she’d play with them.
She would settle them the grievances of her past and present life all today.
