    Chapter 41


    The air was tense once again.


    Ste paused for a moment before immediately standing up. With her mouth covered, she rushed out.


    The moment Ste stood up to leave, Weston’s vision flickered for a moment, but he recovered very


    quickly.


    His eyes turned dark as he exuded an even colder and darker aura than before. It was difficult to tell


    what was going through his mind at that point.


    The smile faded from Guinevere’s face. Earlier, she felt assured by Weston’s protective stance over


    her, but now, she hadpletely lost her appetite


    She pulled her napkin off and stood up. “I’m full. I’m heading to the washroom.”


    As she stood up, the chair behind her was pushed back, and its legs screeched ufortable against


    the floorboards.


    Weston’s face turned even darker as a cold glint shed past the depths of his eyes. This time around,


    Yvonne wasn’t as clueless as before. The fork she had in hand paused right at her mouth, the food


    hanging in mid-air, “Why do things feel so strange between these


    people?”


    Lucas remained calm andposed throughout the ordeal, looking up only to nce briefly at Ste


    when she rushed out.


    He held Yvonne’s wrist and sessfully sent the food hanging on her fork into her mouth.“ Focus while


    eating.” Dr. Quirk had always been cold and unfeeling and uncaring about everything. On the other


    hand, Yvonne was a nosy parker by nature and abhorred injustice and evil. This sometimes gave


    Lucas a headache, although he would simply let her do as she pleased most times, He would let her be


    if she wanted to watch the fun. Dr. Quirk was only concerned as to whether she ate well.


    In the washroom.


    Ste felt much better after vomiting. She was getting ready to head back when she recalled how she


    had behaved earlier. Her steps slowed down.


    Along the corridor. Guinevere walked over from the other end, her high-heels click-cking down the


    corridor, her elegant figure as a model sashaying gracefully. Ste’s eyes turned downcast. She


    nced momentarily at Guinevere before shifting her gaze away, intending to walk past her.


    She was afraid that she might not hold back her anger if she stayed even a second longer.


    if it weren’t for her, her child wouldn’t have…


    But she knew that she was now E and not Ste. Given her status and abilities now, she had no way


    of pitting herself against them at this point.


    So what if she were to face off against them? She would only end up being at their mercy. Only when


    the day she could climb over their heads and im victory came would the score with them be settled


    appropriately.


    She told herself that this was not the time now.


    Ste took a deep breath and walked past Guinevere, her vision unwavering. Guinevere burst out


    laughing and held Ste’s arm. “Why are you hiding from me?”

    Ste’s brows furrowed as she turned to her side. “I’m not.”


    “Why are you walking around me, then?” Ste found her im hrious. “This is a single path, and I’m


    just passing by you. What’s more, I don’t even know you and have never offended you. Why should I


    hide from you?”


    An innocent smile remained on Ste’s face as she counter-questioned Guinevere as if she truly did


    not understand Guinevere’s motivation,


    Each time Ste encountered Guinevere, she always cowered in unspoken fear, as if weakness and


    cowardice ran in her veins. Her lowly and humble countenance was precisely what emboldened and


    bolstered Guinevere each time they faced off.


    Whether it was Ste or E standing right before her, her unflinching counter-questioning made


    Guinevere feel ufortable inside.


    It was as if the person she had always looked down upon suddenly resisted her one day, baring her


    fangs and ws right before her. Frustration and disdain simmered in her heart.


    “E, your name is E, right?”
