Instead of going to the mall, she instructed the driver to head towards Easton.-In the principal's office, Sophie introduced Cherry with a smile. "Mr. Levant, please take good care of this little one.""It's my pleasure. Sophie, your presence here truly delights me. Be assured, this child is intelligent and capable. She's sure to surpass us all.""Thank you for the compliment, Principal Levant. I'll do my best," Cherry replied, performing a polite bow that instantly charmed William Levant."Such a well-behaved child.

As Vivienne rang the doorbell, an elderly couple opened it. The woman’s face was streaked with tears."Who are you looking for, miss?" asked the old man."I need to see your son," Vivienne said, stepping into the cluttered home.Seeing Vivienne’s elegant attire, the woman hastily made way. "Son, a lady’s here to see you."A loud voice from the bedroom boomed. "Who dares to bother me? If she's got no money, tell her to scram!"The voice belonged to a haggard man who looked surprised upon seeing Vivienne. "Ms. Kerrigan?"Vivienne looked at the elderly couple."Could you give us a moment? I need to speak with Alfred in private," Vivienne requested, her gentle tone leaving no room for refusal.The elderly woman grasped Vivienne's arm tightly. "Miss, I implore you to convince my son to cease his gambling habits. Our family teeters on the edge of ruin," she pleaded tearfully, unaware that the seemingly compassionate woman before her was the one responsible for her son's downfall."R

Vivienne's sultry voice made Alfred's resolve waver. As he eyed the hefty amount promised, his heart raced with the prospect of clearing his debts and escaping his creditors' pursuit."Do I only need to deliver the child?" he asked."Yes, I'll handle the rest." Observing his crumbling willpower, Vivienne felt a surge of triumph. "So, do we have a deal?""Deal!" Alfred confirmed eagerly, envisioning the potential reversal of his fortunes with this deal."Excellent. Don't keep me waiting." Vivienne was disgusted by the filthy room, so she did not linger a second longer and walked out.-Cherry's first day at Majora Primary School was a whirlwind of excitement. The teacher was kind, and there were handsome boys in her class.

"It's sad to see that third grader being bullied continuously. Actually, he seems quite pitiable. I’ve never seen him with friends, always alone," Reyna muttered sympathetically as they strolled.Cherry abruptly stopped, her hands balling into fists in her pockets. "Tristan!""Exactly, that's his name. Cherry, you really are a genius." Reyna remarked, oblivious to the conflict in Cherry’s eyes."People often pity the despicable. Bullies, in a way, can be seen as crusaders against wickedness," Cherry commented, recalling Tristan's deceit and his mother's vile schemes."I-Is that so?" Reyna asked, pushing her glasses up. She considered Cherry's words as profound insight.Losing her appetite over the unpleasant encounter, Cherry looked uninterestedly at the beautifully plated meal in front of her."Why aren't you eating, Cherry?" Reyna asked, thoroughly consuming her codfish for better brain development."Not hungry. I’ll wait outside for you." Cherry pushed her tray toward Reyna a

"Ow!" The boy winced in pain.Cherry took a step back, eyeing the bully. "Your family runs a clothing business, right?""How do you know?" the bully asked, surprised. His family indeed owned a garment factory."I also know that with just a slight push from a certain Carlson, your family’s business could crumble, leaving you without even clothes on your back."The bully scoffed. "You think you can scare me?" "Well, if you dare to hit him, then when tomorrow your dad jumps off a building because his business collapsed, and your mom leaves you to escape debt, you'll remember I wasn’t just scaring you," Cherry replied, her sweet face turning cold.Despite being significantly shorter, she dominated the scene with her presence.The boy’s bravado faded, replaced by fear. He did not want to end up homeless.After glaring at Tristan still on the ground, he grumbled, "Lucky day for you, brat. But watch out next time!"He and his companions then left.Cherry glanced at Tristan still on

At the pizza shop, Cherry savored her cherished cherry cake with her eyes blissfully shut. Sophie could not help but smile at her daughter’s enjoyment. "Be honest, you didn’t eat lunch today, did you?"Cherry opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Could you tell?" "Did I guess right? You’re picky again," Sophie lightly scolded, surprised her casual comment was accurate."I wasn't picky. I just had something..." Cherry started, then quickly changed the subject, realizing the topic might veer toward Tristan. "Oh, it’s just that my deskmate, Reyna, kept asking me for riddles. She wants to be a scholar, but she’s the dullest one I’ve ever met!"Cherry deftly changed the subject, and Sophie chose not to probe further.After their meal, they visited an amusement park.By the time they returned home, Cherry was exhausted.Sophie tucked her in and kissed her forehead, then checked her phone in the living room.An unread message about Cherry getting into a scuffle at school over Tristan

Cherry reached for the lollipop and thought, 'So this means the snacks don't come from Reyna. Then who's the one who got me all these cherry-flavored snacks?'Could it be... Tristan Carlson!'"Cherry? What are you thinking? Are you thinking about riddles?" Reyna asked.Being dragged back to reality by her classmate, Cherry bent down and took all the snacks out of the drawer."Wow, why are there so many delicious snacks?" Reyna was surprised by the sheer amount of food.Cherry remained silent and swiftly brought the snacks over to the trash can in the corner. In the blink of an eye, all the unopened snacks were already lying in the trash can.Reyna was taken aback by Cherry's action. "What are you doing? I thought you loved cherry-flavored snacks the most?""I do, but I don't feel like eating these today," Cherry replied.'Tristan thinks that by giving me food, he'll be forgiven for what he did that day? Wrong! The enmity between us didn't just originate from what happened that

At 2:00 p.m., Albert Sauer from Bright Empire arrived at Heracles Hotel with his secretary and entered the private room. However, the first thing that caught his eye was Sophie sitting across from the entrance, surprising him. "Ms. Luxford, why are you here?"He had obviously arranged to meet Cedric, but the hotel manager called earlier, admitting to a scheduling error. She also mentioned Cedric had agreed to move the appointment up by an hour. Thus, he promptly concluded his current meeting and rushed over.Sophie stood up and started the conversation with an apology. "Mr. Sauer, I apologize for meeting you in this manner. Please forgive me if this is inappropriate in your book."Her apologetic tone left no room for Albert to express his dissatisfaction.
