Chapter 821

Mrs. Walker was from the prestigious Walker family of Sharonville - what slipped through her fingers could fund several university buildings!Can't afford to offend someone with such deep pockets!The Vice Dean was sweating profusely with anxiety.Though furious at being humiliated in front of Molly, Mrs. Walker quickly composed herself. "I see there's an important event in progress. We can tour another time."She cast a subtle glance at Molly before turning to leave.The Vice Dean hurried after her, stammering, "Mrs. Walker, the Dean didn't mean...""It's quite alright. Let's explore other areas."Mrs. Walker maintained an air of gracious dignity.Soon, accompanied by the Vice Dean, she left the auditorium.The Dean addressed the audience, "I deeply apologize for the interruption to Dr. Anderson’s lecture.""You should apologize to the students. Their time is valuable, and you've wasted it."Molly glanced at her notes, then, not giving the Dean a chance to respond, delivere

Chapter 822

Seeing her discomfort, the Dean didn't insist she stay."I can have my driver take you back to the hotel, Dr. Anderson.”"I've been to Johnsonville before. After so many years, I'd like to walk back and reminisce about the past."“It has changed dramatically over the years - it's not the city you remember. Let me at least have someone accompany you."Molly politely declined the Dean's offer and left alone.Her desire to reminisce was a pretense - she was waiting for Mrs. Walker.After some thought, I put on my sunglasses and followed at a discreet distance.As I'd expected, Mrs. Walker couldn't resist confronting Molly.David pulled the car alongside Molly and lowered the window. "Miss Anderson, Madam would like you to get in.""After all these years, you're still her lackey!" Molly's eyes flashed with mockery."So you remember me, Miss Anderson.""I might forget others, but never you!"Her words carried hidden meaning. David shifted uncomfortably. "Miss Anderson...""If y

"This isn't for you to decide.""Nor is it for you."The tension between Molly and Mrs. Walker was palpable. If not for the passing pedestrians, Mrs. Walker would have already ordered David to drag Molly into the car for a "lesson.""You've stayed single all these years - still pining for Leonard Haber? Too bad. Less than a month after breaking your engagement, he married that Horrison girl and had a lovely daughter. Their daughter and Luke get along so well - they'll be engaged soon. You could see your old flame at their engagement party. Won't it be interesting to watch them all happy together while you're all alone?"Mrs. Walker was deliberately twisting the knife."Not everyone's like you, unable to exist without a man."Molly's tone remained neutral, completely unfazed by Mrs. Walker's taunts.Unsatisfied, Mrs. Walker pressed on. "What if I told you that Mrs. Haber helped arrange everything back then?""No surprise there - you're all cut from the same cloth," Molly sneered

Chapter 824

"Young people these days should break their habit of eavesdropping."The word "eavesdropping" made me blush. As I apologized again, I followed her gaze to spot a black Maybach.Checking the license plate, I recognized Emily Haber's car."That's Emily Haber."The daughter of Molly's old acquaintances.From the earlier exchange between Molly and Mrs. Walker, I'd gathered there was a complicated history between Molly, Leonard, and Mrs. Haber."Go get her," Molly instructed."Okay."Before I reached the car, Emily stepped out. "Ms. Middleton, what brings you here?""I came for Dr. Anderson's lecture."Since she'd seen me with Molly, there was no point in hiding anything."I came to see her too." Emily's presence confirmed she knew Molly's identity. "Are you close with her?""Not really. She wants to see you.""She knows about me?"Emily's surprise held a hint of joy.Mrs. Walker had mentioned Emily earlier. I just smiled without commenting.Emily followed me to Molly."Hel

How could anyone remain gentle after such hardship!I stayed quiet, preparing to leave."Ms. Middleton, where are you going? I can give you a ride.""My car's nearby."Emily asked if Luke had met with her."I'm not sure.""You're still upset with him! I've already explained about him and me..." Emily's face twisted with annoyance as she glanced down the street. "So irritating, being followed by this pest every day."She pointed to a Volkswagen nearby. "Jenny's people are in that car. They've been tailing me for over a week. Luke wants this handled before I leave Johnsonville.”Luke had mentioned Jenny targeting Emily."If Luke hadn't arranged this, you'd be the one being followed. He's protecting you. A man like him has predators circling - you'll regret it if you let him slip away."I remained silent."Love is between two people. Whatever I say won't matter - the decision is yours."Emily prepared to leave.Sarah and Jenny had been fighting Wendy for years - they had plen

"Okay!"Ian followed me into the living room.He paused briefly when he saw the memorial photos displayed there.It was natural for a four-year-old to be scared by such things.I'd forgotten about the photos and suggested, "We could stay at a hotel.""Are they your family, Jen?"Ian looked up at me."They're my mom and dad.""You're a good person, Jen, so your parents must have been good people too." He turned toward the stairs. "Is my room upstairs? I can't wait to see it!""I'll show you up."Though young, Ian was like a little angel, often saying things that touched my heart.Growing even fonder of him, I led him upstairs.Knowing he was coming, I'd cleaned up a long-unused room and bought new children's furnishings.The bed had SpongeBob SquarePants bedding, which delighted him. "SpongeBob is my favorite cartoon character!"He approached the bed politely. "Sister, may I feel it?""Of course - it's all yours."He touched the sheets, sat down, and looked around. "I lo

"Mr. Walker, I'm sorry about Ian’s behavior," I said, taking Goofy's leash from Ian and offering it to Luke.Luke looked at Ian.Ian scampered to my side and tugged at my clothes. “Jen, I invited him to dinner to thank him for bringing Goofy and Doggo over."I: ...“Jen, is dinner ready? I'm hungry. When can we eat?"Ian patted his stomach as he spoke."It's ready.""Thank you for cooking!" Ian took Luke's hand. "Uncle, let's go."Luke nodded slightly."Mr. Walker, hasn't Marianne prepared your dinner?"Facing Luke always unsettled me - I didn't want to share dinner with him."She's taken leave for some family matters.""Who's Marianne?"Ian looked up at Luke, trying to get his attention."Marianne cooks, cleans, and looks after the dogs for Mr. Walker.""Are you very busy with work, Uncle?""Yes.""Who's taking care of Goofy while Marianne's away?"Ian gently petted Goofy, who stood quietly beside him.Goofy wagged her tail gently.From her expression, she clearly

I handed Ian the bowl of soup I'd just served. "Careful, it's hot."My gentle tone and warm smile contrasted sharply with my earlier coldness.Luke sighed softly as he and Ian left the kitchen.Watching Luke's retreating figure, my smile faded.My heart was conflicted. Luke's changed attitude had been about protecting me from danger. But his actions only highlighted the gap between us. I didn't want to be his burden, so I tried improving myself to become his equal. In the end, I'd overestimated both my potential and abilities.When I composed myself and entered the dining room, Luke and Ian were deep in animated conversation.Ian loved gaming and knew everything about different games and levels. Luke was knowledgeable too, engaging with every point.Ian's eyes lit up as he asked, "After dinner, can I play games with you, Uncle?"Knowing how busy Luke was, I started to intervene.Luke: "Of course.""Mr. Walker, don't you have work tonight?""After a long day, some relaxation

Chapter 829

I considered blurring Luke's face in the video before sending it. Mr. Lloyd had already guessed there was something undefined between Luke and me back when we were abroad. Blurring him out would be pointless denial.I sent the original video to Mr. Lloyd.In the kitchen, Luke and Ian were washing dishes together. When they emerged, their faces were covered in water droplets.Seeing water about to drip onto Ian's clothes, I quickly grabbed napkins to dry his face. "Were you washing your faces instead of the dishes?""I accidentally splashed water on Uncle's face, then he accidentally splashed me back!"Luke "accidentally"? He clearly did it on purpose!How childish of him to play games with a kid like that!So immature!Just as I finished drying Ian's face and was about to throw away the napkin, Luke caught my hand and used it to wipe his own face."The napkins are right here - dry yourself."His sudden intimate gesture made my heart skip a beat.I quickly pulled my hand away

Chapter 830

After calling me several times, Ian finally got my attention. He stood on tiptoes, trying to see the book's contents. "What's it about?""Finance," I replied automatically.I'd grabbed the book randomly and hadn't even looked at it.After standing in one position for over an hour, my legs and neck were stiff. I closed the book and stretched."Collector's Guide to Jewelry and Precious Stones."Ian read the cover as I closed it.I: ...Luke was still there, wearing a subtle smile.Trying to act casual, I returned the book to its shelf. "I grabbed the wrong one."“Jen, Uncle's leaving. Let's walk him out," Ian suggested."He lives next door."Just a few steps away."I just want some fresh air," Ian looked at me hopefully.Happy to grant his request, I ruffled his hair. "Alright, let's go.""Let's take Goofy and Doggo too."Doggo loved being with Goofy - if we took him out, he might refuse to come back.Worry flashed across my face.With Luke's help, Ian put leashes on bot
