Hailey looked up the stairs and was stunned to see a man at the top, staring at them. He had taken a bath and changed into a casual turtleneck and pants. His perm-framed hair complemented his perfectly sculpted face.

It was the first time Hailey had seen him dressed in casual wear. He was usually in corporate attire, and it was rare to see him so relaxed. Lauren seemed momentarily surprised before flying up the stairs excitedly. Hailey watched quietly, choosing not to interfere.

However, Lauren quickly asked, "Uncle, who is this auntie?"

Hailey was speechless. How was she an auntie? She was clearly a young lady. But she didn't say anything and continued observing their interaction.

Lauren's expression froze for a moment, obviously shocked by his words. She turned her sharp gaze towards Hailey and folded her arms, looking reluctant.

Nolan's patience seemed to be waning. He narrowed his gaze at her and said firmly, "I said apologize."

His expression was cold and calm, but Lauren un

    A week later... It was the first day back at the City Arts Institute. Hailey had applied after moving in with the Rothschild family, as per her agreement with Nolan when she signed the contract. Her enrollment application was already late, and she would have had to wait until the following year. However, Nolan offered to help, and before she knew it, she was given a chance to take the exam alone and she aced it. The Rothschild family was influential, and Nolan didn't hesitate to flaunt it. As it was mid-winter, Hailey was bundled up to combat the chilly weather. She wore a nude-colored long-sleeved top paired with pants. To complete her outfit, she wore nude ankle-high shoes and a black wool hat. Although Nolan had offered to have one of the drivers drop her off at the institute, she declined. The luxurious and ostentatious cars in the garage didn't appeal to her. Instead, she took the subway and then walked to the building. According to Nolan, she was to meet with the dean first be

    Dean Phillips appeared unable to recover from the onslaught of words. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, his gaze turning sharp and resolute. He gave Mr. Ross a penetrating look and asked, "What are you trying to say?" Mr. Ross seemed to realize that his words were irritating the dean, so he adjusted his harsh expression and addressed the dean more carefully. He said, "I apologize for my rudeness, sir. But honestly, I do not believe that these top scores shown on her examination record sheet can be considered reliable." He gestured for emphasis, expecting the dean to agree with him, but instead, the dean's expression soured even further. His voice turned harsh and cold as he asked, "Are you insinuating that she cheated and that the council members helped her?" Mr. Ross's words caught in his throat, and he stammered, "No... I..." "No, I do not mean that the council helped her cheat. But for all we know, she could have cheated without our knowledge. It's highly suspicio

    As they continued walking towards Ms. Wood's classroom, Hailey could feel the other woman's gaze fixed on her. It seemed skeptical and scrutinizing, as if she was having second thoughts about accepting Hailey. However, Hailey was unfazed. Despite inhabiting the body of a new adolescent, her mental prowess far exceeded her age. A teacher's piercing stare held no power to intimidate her. Finally, Ms. Woods broke the silence, "I'm not a harsh person, but I must warn you beforehand. I have my own rules, and I expect them to be treated with importance. I hope you can integrate with your peers as quickly as possible." Hailey nodded quietly and replied, "Yes, ma'am." It felt somewhat strange to address someone who was probably just a few years older, or even the same age, as 'ma'am.' Ms. Woods pursed her lips and added, "Also, I do not take losses lightly, and I despise losing. Bringing you into my class is a kind of trial, and it may cost me the chance to win the teacher's cup this year."

    City Arts Institute... It had been a few hours since Hailey entered the institute, and it had been quite stressful. However, Hailey was somewhat used to it, as she had attended an art school in her past life. Although she had missed a few classes since they began, she believed she could catch up easily, especially with the help of her friendly and helpful seatmate. Her seatmate, Tara Johnson, surprised Hailey because she wasn't at all like her name suggested. Instead, Tara was meek and hesitant to speak. She had offered to help Hailey catch up on the missed classes and shared her notes, which Hailey found to be quite helpful. Hailey already considered Tara one of the first friendly people she had met at the institute. After finishing the sculpting lecture, Hailey stepped outside for some fresh air. The lecture had been exhausting and dull. Hailey was wearing the institute's workshop uniform, which consisted of oversized jumpsuits. The suits made her look like she was wearing men's c

    It was midday, and there were only a few minutes left until the end of the lecture. Cassidy twirled the pen in her hand thoughtfully. Just then, Mr. Ross finished his lecture and dropped the mic on the podium. He looked at them, his expression becoming more solemn as he spoke, "You all need to focus on your studies and do your best. Some of you are already doing well, but you have to continue giving your best. Your class is the best in the whole school. Surely, you don't want to lose face by falling off the ranks when the results come out. Is that understood?" "Yes, sir," everyone chorused as he stepped out of the door. Once he was gone, Cassidy focused on the list of fashion bags of the year, contemplating which one to choose. She was planning to ask Luke to pay for it. Just then, her desk mate leaned in and exclaimed, holding her phone up to Cassidy's face. "Check this out, Cassidy. Have you seen it?" Cassidy looked up with a frown, clearly displeased by the interruption. "What is

    Heather gasped and quickly covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from shouting. She stared at Cassidy with wide eyes. "Seriously? She's attracted to older men?" Cassidy nodded, a hint of regret in her expression. "Yeah. Honestly, even though I have a good opinion of my sister, I can't help but feel disgusted too. But she's still my sister, and even if others are against her, I have to support her." Heather's curiosity was piqued. "What do your parents think about it? I mean, which parent would want their child to be with someone as old as them? And how old is your sister anyway?" Cassidy interjected, looking thoughtful. "She's actually just one year older than us. And honestly, my sister isn't all that bad. Even though she argues with our parents all the time and moved in with her sugar daddy without getting married, I still feel like I have to be there for her." Heather still struggled to process the information, shaking her head and pursing her lips in distaste as she l

    A moment later, he was pushed into the room. There was a small, polite smile on his lips as he was guided to the front of the table where the directors sat. His gaze was focused as he made eye contact with each of them. Despite it being his first time at the company, he appeared calm and relaxed. Furthermore, he didn't seem to be embarrassed about being in a wheelchair; in fact, he exuded more confidence than someone with fully functioning legs. He stood there for a moment, choosing not to sit immediately, leaving the men to wonder what his intentions were. Suddenly, he bowed lightly and began speaking solemnly, "I apologize for being late, everyone." Some of the directors who had initially planned to challenge him had no choice but to swallow their discontent. Max, however, was dissatisfied. He was already on edge because Nolan had his father's support, and he wanted to discredit him in front of the board. Even if it meant resorting to dirty tricks, he was determined to bring Nolan

    He seemed very confident, and that was impressive enough for the group of nitpickers seated in the hall. Even Max couldn't help but look at him. Although he was well aware that his nephew was full of confidence and hardly intimidated by anything, he couldn't help but think that he seemed quite cool. When faced with the group of old geezers who always nitpicked about every single thing, he usually treaded very softly. But it was probably because he hadn't been there before that he was so confident. However, the directors were still not confident in him. After all, they needed someone strong enough to lead and who knew what he was doing. It was their hard work and sweat, and they couldn't possibly just play around with it. Nolan saw that they were still unconvinced, but he didn't say anything further. He went back to his seat and waited for them to decide what to do. Eventually, a woman said, "Since we are unable to decide whom to appoint, how about we vote?" Her words seemed plausibl

    Hailey turned the sauce on the pan and whistled gently as she turned around the kitchen, buying herself other things while it cooked. After a minute, she looked at her wristwatch in contemplation. It was 5 pm already and Nathan should be home soon enough. She couldn't help looking out of the kitchen window to check if he was at the door yet but there was no one there so she returned to what she was doing.After some time, she was done in the kitchen and walked to the living room to sit down and wait for him. But she seemed rather impatient as she soon picked up her phone from the table and instead, dialed his number. It only rang once before it was answered and the man's familiar voice sounded from the phone. "Wifey," he called out cheekily making her break into smiles immediately. She leaned back on the sofa and adjusted the hand holding the phone before replying, "If you're not home in the next thirty minutes, I'm afraid your wife will be seduced away by another man."Nolan's lau
