"Waverly, what are you talking about? Apologize to your Aunt Qianna at once," Waverly's mother, Melinda Mccarthy, said sternly. A thorn pricked Waverly's heart. She looked at her mother. "As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Qianna couldn't be bothered to show a shred of politeness towards me. Mum, why don't you get her to apologize to me then? If I may ask, what I did wrong that an apology is warranted?" "I thought that you could put aside your feisty temper after becoming the President's wife for a few years. I didn't expect you to still be so stubborn. Since she's your aunt, she's your elder too. It's only right for her to put you in your place," Melinda said seriously. Waverly raised the corners of her mouth, despondence clouding in her eyes. She said, "In my defense, I've been Mrs. President for a few years, only to find out my mum isn't like other mothers. You're barely like a mum to me. Do mums ever hurt their own children? Even mammals care about their babies.
"I need a strong girl by my side. Find one with an untarnished reputation for me, even better if she has never appeared in public before. I'll arrange for her to be my sidekick. Of course, she may also report my situation to you from time to time. After all, this is part of our cooperation, it just shows how sincere I am," Waverly said. "OK, I'm on it," Bobe said. "When do you want her?" "Tonight. I'll go over to the Chalton Building to shop for some clothes right now. Ask her to wait for me there," Waverly ordered. "Okay, we'll be in touch later." Bobe hung up the phone. Waverly put away her phone, headed outside, and hailed a taxi, bound for the Chalton Building. The moment she arrived at the entrance, the girl she had asked Bobe to look for also showed up. Waverly sized the girl in front of her. Her hair was braided and she was wearing a camouflage uniform, her face upset. As for her facial features, nothing too remarkable. "What's your nam
"You don't have to." Waverly swiveled around and settled herself on the sofa. She fetched a glass of cocktail from the table, sipping it slowly, her nonchalant gaze sweeping over the people present. As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together, and these people were living proof. What kind of person was Qianna, and what kind of people did she befriend? Only pretentious divas, if not hooligans, disguised as gentlemen, would be revolving around her. "Aunt Sophia, come up with a way to give her a piece of my mind. She's getting on my nerves," Qianna spat out, locking eyes with Waverly. "Don't worry, Miss Qianna. I've already arranged something. You can wait for a good show later," Sophia said confidently, glancing at the corner of the room and winking at it. Two girls came out of the corner, dressed to the nines. One of them was Candy, with a pair of long tassel earrings dangling from her ears, while the other, June, wore large round earrings, a rose
"First, you're a part of the family. Since you want to live in the lakeside courtyard, I can't stop you, so I agreed to let you live here. Second, I came back from some shopping long after you got your party rolling. You didn't ask me if you could have a party. And if your personality is an indication of anything, you won't. Third, I didn't join your party. You got in my way as soon as I came back. You didn't even let me return to my room, and the things I bought are still lying on the sofa. Last but not least, I couldn't be sure if it was you who asked the two girls to pour the cocktails on me. But they are your friends, Aunt Qianna, and did you ask them anything when they poured their drinks all over me? No, you just helped them so they could scurry away," Waverly enumerated. Each and every word of hers was firm and convincing. Qianna's face turned red, fuming from embarrassment. "Y-you, you're accusing me for something I did not do, and you're uttering comple
She stopped and looked back. The two men wearing white masks were wearing large black raincoats. It was hard to tell what they looked like. "If I die here in the Mccarthy family, what do you think people will say?" Waverly knew what was coming, so she warned harshly. "We could just say that you, Miss Martell, couldn't stand the humiliation after returning, and you eventually took your own life. I think that this will save the Mccarthys from embarrassment," the masked man said coldly. Waverly stared at them. Bellamy had taught her some self-defense skills. She was still confident if she was up against one person. However, it was a little difficult if she was going against two. She didn't expect that they would be so flagrant to attack her when she was alone. It was too late for any regret. All that was to do was to give them all she got. "I'm going to die, anyway. Why don't you let me die with the truth? Who sent you? Was it Qianna?" Waverly ask
"You don't know the Mccarthys. They are still in power because of my Uncle Thomson, but he is too upright. Besides, he values relationships. He will never believe that the elders he respects and the younger generation he loves would want to harm him and take his power. I could only take time to let him know that he should get rid of those people." The Uncle Thomson she knew would not rebel after getting rid of these people. As long as the Mccarthys did not rebel, those who want to harm Bellamy will not succeed either. "Good luck, Madam. I will support your every decision. Also, please don't go around alone from now on. I'll keep you company if you want to get some fresh air. I won't say a word. You can even pretend that I'm not there," Hayley promised. "Thank you. Go back and rest. The sun is coming up. We still have to go out later," Waverly said with a smile. Hayley thought for a moment, removed her watch, and put it on Waverly's hand. Then, she said, "This wa
"Do you take me for a coward? Or do you think that you could seduce me into doing it?" Joseph leaned back in the chair, holding his head with his hand, and said lightly. "I thought that you are a man of great talent. After all, it's better to be suppressed by me than Madam Lenny, yes?" Waverly said suggestively. A glimpse of light flashed across Joseph's eyes, and he tried to kiss her. Waverly got up faster and sat on the table, "You don't have to agree immediately. I had expected you to not agree to it. Joseph, you have intelligence and strategy, but you don't have courage." Joseph rushed over and held her shoulders. He threw her on the table, and his eyes became a little piercing, "Don't goad me. It's useless." Waverly was not afraid. Her eyes were like still water, gazing into him, "I don't think that it's possible to get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through you. If someone else could help me get in, could you promise that you would not stand in
The constitution of M Country and A Country was very different. The President of A Country was elected, while the President of Country M was a monarch. It was hereditary. Anyone could pass the exam, interview, and get offered a spot in A Country's government. As long as anyone studied hard, they would have the opportunity to change their fate and get the opportunity. The formation of the M Country government lay in the hands of a few major clans. They also specialized in military schools, military studies, management, politics, and finance. However, they were all appointed by the higher-ups. Those who entered these schools were all members of the royal family's line of descent. She could not pass the examination and join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that easily. Besides, those from the Mccarthy Department were the only ones who could enter through exams and interviews, and it was the Mccarthy Department that changed the fate of the government. The Mccar
