Chapter 022 Ruthless Ate
Her remark made Lorraine on edge instantly.
"You really make money by fighting for others? Did you get hurt? Take off your clothes and let me have
a check."
She rose immediately and was about to do what she had said.
Ate took her hands andughed quietly, with a naughty shadow in her pretty eyes.
She said humbly, "I make some software for my customer with theputer expertise that I’ve
acquired, and am able to earn a small amount."
Lorraine locked Ate with her clear eyes and was relieved when she was sure Ate didn’t lie to
her.
"You''ve startled me."
Ate hold her shoulders and let her sit down.She told her intimate friend, "Rest assured.I don’t fight
with others.I only fight back."
Lorraine couldn''t say a word to that.She had witnessed how ruthless Ate could be even at the age
of five.
Ate might beam at you one moment and batter you with a brick ruthlessly next.It was true that no
one was able to hurt her.
And it was nice that she won''t get hurt.
As for others, Ate would never be the one to kick up a fuss.
She would only use violence when the fight was provoked by others, who, thus, deserved her
counterattack.
Lorraine tried to soothe herself by eating a dried strawberry and went on, "Ate, I’ve really got much
better and don''t need to stay here."
ncing through the supreme environment of this nursing home, Ate didn''t understand.
"Isn''t it nice here? Why not stay? It won''t cost much."
Lorraine said softly, "But I just want to earn a living with you.You must have spent a lot on my
expenditure here these years."
"Not really ‘a lot’."
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Ate said with understatement.
There was a notification sound at that moment.
She took out her phone to find it was a message from Vianne -- "Look out, Ate girl, Wat''s
people are after you recently."
Lorraine curled up her lips and went on with a tenacious look, "Ate, I''ve learnt a lot from the
teachers you hired for you.I could actually do a part-time and I bet the reward won''t be disappointing."
She really didn’t want to tie Ate down anymore.She believed she had the ability to look after herself
now.
Ate looked at Lorraine with her habitually cold eyes.
"You really want to work?"
Lorraine nodded earnestly.
"Yes."
Ate bit a dried mango slice and chewed carefully.
"Alright, I''ll find you a school and you take the entrance examination for a good college, so that you will
earn more money in the future."
The hope in Lorraine''s eyes quenched.
"College costs money too."
And that would be quite an amount of money.
"No worries about the tuition.I can afford it."
Ate said instantly while replying to Vianne’s message slowly.
"Just return that money to me with your sry when you''re graduated from college."
Lorraine still couldn’t make up her mind.
"Then what about you?"
"Me? I will rent a t near your school." Ate replied.
Biting her lips, Lorraine came with up an idea.
"Ate, what about we going to high school and college together?" At frowned a little at this idea.
She finished high school''s contents by teaching herself at the age of six and had made great efforts to
have the school send her away.
Now you want her to return to school? Getting up early and attending the endless boring sses and
exams? What was more, to be governed by the school? Nuisance! Lorraine thought At''s attitude
was out of her dislike of study.
"If you fear the academic matter, I can help you with that."
Ate cast aplicated look at her.
Tooplicated for Lorraine to figure out the reason behind it.
Afraid of being rejected again, Lorraine squeezed her fingers nervously, stared at the floor and said
lightly, "Ate, I really have owed you too much and don''t want you to sacrifice any more for me."
