But Lena always handled everything on her own and never told Anthony about her difficulties.There were only a few days left until the final assessment, and if she took the assessment, she would pass all the subjects.But at the last moment, she chose to give up.Lena wondered if Anthony would stand up to his mother for her sake.If a man listened to his mother about everything, even if she managed to marry into the Morris family, life in the future would not be easy.Margot embraced Lena."No worries, I'll talk to my Mom later. She will agree to you being with Anthony."Lena pushed her away and said, "Margot, you don't need to worry about me. I've thought it through. I haven't freshened up yet, so I'll head back to my room to do that first."She was sleeping with Natalie, and after receiving a phone call, she hurriedly grabbed her phone and left the room.At this moment, she quietly stepped into the room again.Margot didn't ask any more questions and quietly returned to her
After freshening up and going downstairs for a meal, Lena quietly said to Curtis, Margot, Natalie, and Calvin, "Can you help me find a job? I don't mind the salary, as long as it's enough for me to support myself."Her master was no longer in the countryside, so there wasn't much point in her going back alone.To stay in such a bustling city, she needed a job that could support her lifestyle.From now on, she would live for herself.She would work hard to save money, and when her master returned, she would treat him well and respect him.Calvin looked at Lena sitting opposite him. When he heard her pitiful words, he felt a bit uneasy inside."Aren't you supposed to be studying at school? Why did you suddenly decide you want to work?"He once promised Lena's master that he would ensure she had no worries about food or clothing and would protect her completely.Ever since Lena started seeing Anthony, Calvin had stopped asking how she was doing.Looking at her now, with that expr
Lena held back the pain in her heart and tried not to cry.There was no need to cry; he could do whatever he wanted.Calvin noticed that Anthony also looked troubled, so he spoke up to comfort him, "Calm down and speak nicely. Don't get so upset. Sit down and eat first."Natalie has already gotten up to fetch the bowls and cutleries.Anthony had no appetite left for eating.Regina told him over the phone that Lena had failed the assessment, and he should never think about bringing Lena back to the Morris family for the rest of his life.He could avoid returning to the Morris family for Lena, but since she always went against him, he felt that it was not worth it.Anthony ignored the presence of others and questioned Lena, "Tell me, what exactly do you mean? Am I really not worth sticking with until the end?""Anthony, please don't lose your temper in front of me." Calvin's face darkened, and he stood up to scold his younger brother.Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Stay out
"Anthony..."Calvin walked over, intending to block Curtis and scold Anthony. However, Curtis pushed him away, his eyes sharp and piercing as he confronted Anthony."As for the matter of Lena, I simply have to intervene. As long as I'm here today, don't even think of taking her away.""You’re really asking for trouble."Anthony clenched his fist. He was consumed by anger and was ready to throw a punch at Curtis.Margot instinctively put herself in front of Curtis and shouted back at Anthony, "I dare you to hit him! Anthony, can you respect Lena? She doesn't want to go with you. Can't you wait a couple of days until she calms down?"Anthony raised his fist, but when he saw Margot's face, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his chest. He then forced himself to lower his fist.He took two steps back and looked at the few people in front of him with a sad smile on his face. "Fine, so you're all just going to work against me, huh?""Please leave first." Calvin forcefull
Margot was startled and stared intently at Natalie."Natalie, what do you mean? Anthony hurt Curtis because of me? Did Curtis fight with Anthony?""Ah, it's nothing major."Realizing she had accidentally said too much, Natalie quickly smiled and led her downstairs to change the subject."Margot, what style of wedding photos do you think we should take?"Since Natalie didn't want to say more, Margot didn't press her and continued talking about Lena."Natalie, do you think Lena's instructor is such a strong person that Anthony couldn't handle him, and that's why he's taking his frustration out on Lena?"Natalie stopped and faced Margot. She looked puzzled. "Is there anyone in this world Anthony can't handle?""There are surely many out there; the world is vast and full of talented people.""That's possible. We should ask Lena about her instructor's background when we get a chance."After having breakfast, Curtis needed to head back to work at the company.Before leaving, he re
Margot looked at Branden and couldn't help but laugh."Oh, you can read fortunes now? If today isn't a good day for me to go out, then what should I do instead?""Perfect for staying home and taking care of the kids."Branden had a blank expression on his face. "Take Sabrina back. If you don't, you might not get another chance to spend time with her in the future."He was deliberately trying to scare her.Margot always looked down on Branden as she didn't think he was fit to be a father.His current behavior was even more baffling.Seeing the child standing outside the window, Margot couldn't bring herself to say no.Margot hurriedly brought Sabrina into the car, then looked at Branden and said, "Okay, I won't go out. I'll stay home and take care of her for you, alright?""Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal next time."Branden didn't hold back. He didn't even glance at Margot again and drove away.Margot sat in the car, feeling somewhat depressed as she watched Branden's car d
"Louis has grown a bit more. I can't wait for him to start walking so he can play with me."Margot and Lena exchanged a smile.Recalling something, Margot asked, "What happened between you and Anthony started because of that instructor. Who is he anyway?"Lena didn't think much about it and answered honestly, "He's just an instructor. Honestly, I don't really understand what's up with him. He always stands up for me and even teaches me how to deal with people who bully me."Furthermore, she felt really close to the instructor.But she grew up around her master since she was a child and didn't know anyone as young as the instructor.Sometimes she wondered if the instructor liked her.Knowing that Anthony didn't like her interacting with other men, Lena tried her best to avoid the instructor. However, every time she got surrounded and bullied by others, the instructor always managed to show up in time.She couldn't refuse the instructor's help, so she had to keep in touch with hi
"Mom, are you really planning to get rid of Margot?""Of course, a lowly commoner like her can't possibly dream of seducing my son and using a child to elevate her status!""But it seems like Anthony really likes her.""I will deform Margot's face so that Anthony won’t give her a second glance."Upon hearing this, Margot's emotions completely crumbled, and she was heartbroken.She could hardly believe what she had seen with her own eyes and heard with her ears.What exactly did she go through, to make her mother, who loved her so much, treat her so cruelly?What did she and Anthony do again?Why did Regina say that Lilac belonged to him?Looking at the many pictures below, Margot clicked on each one.It turned out all of them were photos of her hugging Anthony, her sleeping on the bed, and him sitting beside the bed looking at her affectionately.Why? Wasn't that her brother? Why did she behave that way around him?Margot found it hard to accept everything in front of her.
