Charles Amos looked resentful and fell silent.
Daisy Zane moved a chair closer to herself, âSit here, or just stand.â
Charles moved the chair a bit closer to her and stopped when it was right next to her chair. He sat down and began peeling the nuts on the table.
The tea master prepared tea, and everyone casually chatted.
After a while, Bonnie Maxwell stepped out to take a phone call.
She returned in 5 minutes.
As she sat down, she apologized, âIâm sorry, thereâs something going on in Celestial Pivot.â
Daisy Zane was watching Charles open pistachios and raised an eyebrow when she heard Bonnieâs words.
The phone call from Celestial Pivot Who would dare to call Bonnie now?
As Daisyâs words were spoken with clear intentions, Natalie Wayne and others just smiled and did not say anything.
It was the tea master who spoke, âClara Mitchell is so amazing, she got into Celestial Pivot so easily.â
âNot really,â Bonnie replied with a smile, âItâs just that the questions were simple this year.â
âHow could it be simple when Nathan Ninevara set the questions?â
Kevin Clark noticed that Charles was placing the peeled pistachios in a small plate without eating them. Realizing that he was peeling them for the little girl, Kevin snatched the pistachios away and started peeling them himself.
Little Charles raised his eyebrows and glared at Kevin.
Kevin glared back, his cold eyes saying: My wife doesnât need your help.
Charlesâs arrogance faded, and he quietly began peeling an orange.
Meanwhile, the tea master continued praising Bonnie, âI heard that the number of people who took the exam this year is several times that of previous years, but only ten people were selected.â
Hardy Clark spat out a sunflower seed shell, âYou seem to know a lot.â
âPeople were discussing this matter when they came to drink tea during that time, so I found out,â The tea master brought the topic back to Bonnie, âI never expected that Clara Mitchell would make it into Celestial Pivot.â
âIt was just luck.â
âThereâs no such thing as luck. Itâs your own ability. People always have to rely on ability, no matter where they are.â
Natalie Wayneâs eyebrows twitched, the words making her feel uncomfortable.
The tea master continued, âGiven Clara Mitchellâs ability, will she be promoted to senior member in a few months and join the high-level ranks of Celestial Pivot?â
âAbsolutely not,â Charles suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Charles, and Bonnieâs face showed some resentment. This bratty kid.
He rose to his current status by the grace of the Clark Family.
Otherwise, a wild child born out of wedlock wouldnât even dare to make a fuss.
âI donât think so either,â Lily Parker said with a smile.
âSister, you have a good eye,â Charles smiled back at her and looked at Harton Clark, âUncle Clark, what do you think?â
Daisy Zane looked at Charlesâs bright eyes.
Fortunately, Celestial Pivot had managed to block the news. Otherwise, what would Charles do?
Peeling pistachios, Harton Clark answered without looking up, âItâs none of my business, and itâs not worth me having an opinion.â
Lily Parker laughed again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Charles: He was seemingly ignored. As it turned out, his opinion wasnât even worth considering in Hartonâs eyes.
Daisy Zane also curled her lips.
At this point, the members of the Clark Family understood that the couple was targeting Bonnie.
Bonnieâs hands tightened on her lap, her face pale. She didnât expect Harton to not even give her the slightest bit of face.
It took her a few seconds to suppress her surging emotions before turning to Daisy Zane and saying, âLady Zane, I just saw some news online when I went out to answer the phone. Would you like me to help you handle it?â
Daisy Zane looked up at her.
Walking into the muzzle of a gun.
Charles had bitten half an orange and looked at Bonnie as well.
Harton Clark blinked, afraid that Bonnie had invited his parents here today to let them know about the online news.
Apart from the three young members of the Clark Family, the rest had no idea what was happening online.
âBonnie, what are you trying to do?â Lily Parkerâs expression turned cold.
Calvin Stewart, who rarely saw his daughter like this, asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Bonnie ignored Lily Parker and said impatiently, âItâs not a big deal. Someone just posted a video online.â
Natalie Wayne looked at her.
Bonnie paused, seemingly unable to speak. She found the video and played it once on the tea table.
The video wasnât long and finished playing very quickly.
People from the other table also came over.
Harton Clark wanted to stop them, but Daisy Zane held him back.
The duration of the video allowed her to think about which place would be suitable for Bonnie to spend the second half of her life.
Bonnie glanced at the awkward faces of the Clark Family members, feeling very pleased. She looked at Daisy Zane and said, âLady Zane, whether itâs true or false, we need to cool things down first. I heard about it too late, or else it wouldnât have escalated like this online.â
Charles took another bite of the orange.
Daisy Zane looked at Bonnie.
It seemed like Bonnie really wanted to find a solution, she spoke sincerely, âI happen to have brought my computer, so I can find the manâs location. We can persuade him to change his tune, and that way, we can also salvage Lady Zaneâs reputation. If we give him some more money, heâll forget about Lady Zane.â
