Chapter 54
“Academic prodigy” Beard fiddled with the two best papers, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
At the Everett residence, a ruckus was beard
“Useless bunch!”
Giselle looked at the cline news reports, where Kirvin became the next mayer, Joel tell from grace due to bribery, and faniya’s family was investigated and sealed she felt
contemptuous.
she thought she could use janiya to teach Hewa lesson, but then the Figueroa family got into trouble
Hera, that country bumpkin, was really lucky.
She always managed to escape!
“Ms. Everett, dinner is ready.” The maid knocked on the door of the room.
“I’m coming”
ble. However, there were five sets of cutlery on the table.
Giselle was the last one to take her seat at the dinner table, and she noticed that there were only four people at the table
The extra set of cutlery was placed in the spot where Hera had sat before.
James didn’t notice that Lilith was staring at that spot absent–mindedly.
Seeing this, Giselle felt a strong sense of resentment in her heart.
Hera had moved out, so why was Lilith still so concemed about her?
“Judy, did you forget that Grandma hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet?” Giselle smiled and asked.
“The table set by Mrs. Everett, Judy McCoy muttered and quickly removed the extra set of cutlery
This move caught James‘ attention.
He looked at the empty seat where Heta had sat bedore and calculated the time.
“Dad, didn’t you say that Hera would come back and apologize within a week?” Giselle asked with an air of indifference, as it she was just watching the show
It had been half a month now.
Not only had Hera not returned, but there had been no sign of her at all.
James‘ facial expression immediately darkened, and his first reaction was to look at Lilith.
“Are you secretly contacting her and ghing her money behind my back?”
Lich hastily denied, “No!”
Shehad previously secretly sent money to Hera, but Hera returned it all.
Hera said she had money
But she had only moved to the city recently.
y. Even if Catherine had given her some money, it wouldn’t have lasted long in the expensive city
“I don’t believe it!” Gino said.
Lilith had given Heca 100 thousand dollars in pocket money!
ཚ ཇ ཟ ཥ ཕ
That 100 thousand dollars had ended up in his hands. Hera should be broke now.
As he raised his head, he saw the other three people looking at him. They were waiting for him to need some unknown secret.
Gino contined, “As II“.
All three of them were speechless
“Did she starve to death at the academy?” James blurted out in anger.
“Dad, don’t be angry. Hera is actually living quite well at the academy. Once after class, I saw her with “Giselle paused intentionally, and her hesitant look made people even more
curious.
“Who was she with!” James asked s
Isharply.
Giselle hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to say it. She opened her phone and handed it to him
The more she acted like this, the more curious it made people. What exactly did Hera do?
Lich put down her cutlery and was about to get up to see when James threw the phone to the ground angrily
“This unfilial girl! How dareshe do such depraved things! And she still feels that she hasn’t disgraced the Everett family enough!”
Lath quickly picked up the phone, and on the screen was a photo of Herawalking away with a few delinquents.
“Howeld this be.“she covered her mouth in disbelied
Giselle added imperceptibly when she saw James anger flare up again.
“Dad, don’t be angry.”
She got up to comfort James and the whispered something in his ear. James” angry expression gradually subsided.
“Okay. Bring her back when the time comes.” James nodded.
“ukey, Dad.“Obelle’s eyes lashed with a cunning light.
