Lucas got out of the car and saw Irene standing in the courtyard. He glanced at her."Mr. Lucas, I've already made dinner." Irene immediately went over to Lucas and asked, "How were classes today? We got back the results for our mocks today. Mine aren't bad."Lucas said, "Can you get into Turlington University?""It's a little risky," Irene said honestly. "I'm not a hundred percent confident. So, I plan to work for another month, and then I'll be resigning to focus on the exams."Irene told Lucas her plans, hoping that he would understand her decision."Mr. Lucas, once I resign, you can get Mrs. Flores to cook for you. She can cook well," Irene said.Lucas entered the living room and changed his shoes.Irene stood next to him, changing her shoes, too."I'll be going abroad in two weeks. I've already gotten my visa." Lucas told Irene his decision. "You can quit in two weeks and prepare for your exam. I can get my father to pay you a full month's wages."Irene was a little stunn
Lucas was a little stunned. Then, he turned off her screen. He showed her the print on her phone. "You never ever clean your phone screen, right?"Irene looked at the clear fingerprint on her screen. She blushed. "You're so smart. I never thought of this.""I'll install an app for you. You can then search for news overseas." Lucas unlocked her phone once more.Irene found it amazing. She immediately walked over to him to see him work.Lucas' fingers were long and slender. They looked nice.Irene looked at her phone, but she soon grew distracted by his hands. "Mr. Lucas, does that mean I don't need to go to Ylore anymore?""You can go if you want to go.""Oh… then I'll see if I want to go during the summer," Irene muttered. "If I don't go to Ylore, I'll head to Aryadelle."Lucas did not respond to that.After installing the app, he returned her phone to her."You can use this browser."Irene accepted the phone and thanked him, "Mr. Lucas, thank you! You're amazing. I didn't
There was plenty of information on Elliot.Irene tapped into the first entry; it was a page about him. In a column, there was a list of people who were related to him. Avery Tate's name and photo were placed there. Underneath, it was written, [Wife].Next to Avery's photo was their son's photo, Hayden Tate. The owner of Dream Maker.Irene casually glanced through the introduction, and she saw the rising of a business empire.Irene exited the page. When she saw Elliot's photo, tears fell. She confirmed that Elliot was her biological father. She knew this because she looked quite a bit like him.However, at the thought of the Gould family being wiped off. She could not help but feel anything but sadness and hatred!Lucas came back from his walk and saw Irene sitting by the dining table. Someone seemed to have cast a spell on her. She was not moving, but her eyes were red. She had cried.She looked extremely sad. It was as if she had gone through something devastating. "What happ
"Is that so? I'm not very sure about that. The butler was the one who hired her grandmother. Back then, one of the helpers in the kitchen had quit, and we were lacking staff, so the butler hired her. The butler told me that although her grandmother was a little older, she worked fast, and she could endure hardship so he hired her to try her out," Mr. Woods said."So, you don't know anything about their background.""She was only a helper in the kitchen. I don't need to buy insurance for her anyway…" Mr. Woods said distractedly."Weren't you afraid that she has problems?" Lucas deliberately tried to scare Mr. Woods.Mr. Woods' expression turned serious. "Lucas, what problems could they have? Don't scare me. I really don't know anything about them. Irene's grandmother spent most of her time in the kitchen, and I usually don't interact with her. If it were not for your stepmother who insisted on getting Irene to care for you, I wouldn't have interacted with Irene too…""I'm joking. W
Avery immediately replied to Layla, [You don't like Andrew?][It's not that I don't like him. He is quite nice. He treats me well, too. He is attentive to how I feel, but I don't like him that way. I look at him, and I always seem to feel like I'm looking at yet another younger brother. After all, Robert treats me that well too.][Then you select another one from the email. Find someone older than you to chat with.][… Let's take it slowly! If I look at too many men, I'll just lose interest in them.][Hahaha! If your father sees this, I'm sure he will be so frightened that he will break out in cold sweat.][All this while, with the amount of worrying Dad has done, I'm sure it will add up to 24 years.][Don't feel pressured. Parents are like this. You have to act on your feelings. Don't worry about making the wrong decision. You can afford to try.][Mom, I really love you. I still feel like a young child, and it is because all of you have been spoiling me.][You'll always be our
Irene lowered her head and said softly, "Three thousand dollars.""Oh, that's a small sum! You should have told me about it earlier. I would have helped you with that." Mr. Woods pretended to be generous. "It's also okay if Sam helps you. Since you want to resign, I'll settle your pay tomorrow.""Thank you, Mr. Woods.""Don't mention it. I will give you a little more money. This would have been your grandmother's pension for all the years of service. You can use it to pay your school fees," Mr. Woods said.Irene was extremely grateful. She immediately thanked him, "Thank you! I thank you on Grandma's behalf!""Thank you for taking care of Lucas these past few months," Mr. Woods said. "It's late. Go home!""Okay! I'll clean the kitchen and leave." Irene cleared the plates from the dining table.Mr. Woods walked to Lucas' room. Lucas did not lock his room. Mr. Woods turned the doorknob, pushed the door, and entered.When Irene had finished tidying up and was about to leave, Mr. W
"That's fine, too. Just stay in Taronia and settle down here," Irene's teacher said with a smile.Irene smiled, too."When I get back, I'll send all the exam answers to you. You can judge them for yourself," said Irene's teacher. It would be great if you could get into Turlington University!""Irene, did you get into Turlington University?" asked a curious student, who had heard the conversation between Irene and her teacher. Irene shook her head. "The results are not out yet. I don't know either.""Irene's mock exam results were quite good." Irene's teacher praised her."Miss, the mock exam was much easier than the exam this time. I didn't know quite a lot of math questions," said another student. "Irene, did you do all the math questions?"Irene shook her head. "I did, but they might not be correct.""Irene, you're amazing. You even quit school…" "Irene did not quit school. She was homeschooled," Irene's teacher said, standing up for Irene. "She had it tough. Even if yo
"There are still many good people in this world! Irene, when you get into Turlington University, you have to maintain your good hardworking attitude. If you want to have any achievements, you have to work much harder than others. Only you can get yourself there," Irene's teacher said."I understand, Miss."After the call, Irene went to the bathroom to wash up.She looked at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath and decided that she would start her brand new life today.As long as there were no accidents, she should be able to get into Turlington University.After working hard for so long, she finally had some good results. She was extremely excited and elated.She carefully peeled the scar off her face. She looked at her true self in the mirror. She tried to smile at herself. The future would only get better.In Aryadelle, summer break was approaching.In Elliot's mansion, everyone started discussing where Robert should work during the summer.Initially, no one had b
