    When everyone decided to y again, Tabitha wanted to try the slide. So, she climbed up to the


    tform at the top of the slide. The slide was designed for children, so the surrounding railings were


    not built very high.


    If she walked normally, there wouldn’t be any issues–unless someone pushed her from behind.


    Although there was a soft mat at the bottom, a fall would still result in injury.


    So, when Tabitha beckoned Heidi toe over, an impish thought suddenly struck Heidi as she


    watched Tabitha smiling cutely.


    Naturally, she wouldn’t dare to sabotage Tabitha. But what if I can fall together with Tabitha and


    make it seem like I was trying to save her…


    In reality, she shouldn’t have taken the risk. Not long ago, Tabitha had agreed to secretly help her


    with retaking the exams, even offering to covertly fund her without informing Petra. She was scared


    that Petra might deny Heidi the opportunity to attend school because of their family’s situation.


    If Tabitha were to get hurt, or if her temperament were to suddenly turn sour, Heidi’s own future


    might be at risk of being lost once again.


    But… but she couldn’t bear it.


    Her mother’s harsh remarks about how she wasn’t worthy of mingling with Tabitha and that this


    wasn’t her destiny still echoed in Heidi’s ears. The barrage of words felt like needles piercing her


    heart.


    She felt so miserable that if she didn’t let it out, she would explode.


    Sometimes, a momentary impulse can give birth to devilish thoughts.


    Suddenly, Heidi made a move. However, before she could even touch Tabitha, she felt a jolt on her


    back, causing her to stagger and lose her bnce.


    “Argh!” eximed Heidi subconsciously.


    Upon turning around, Tabitha immediately saw Heidi and Isabe collide with each other.


    “Oops, my apologies. I thought you guys were moving forward. I didn’t realize you had stopped,”


    said Isabe with a smile.


    Quickly, Tabitha responded with augh, “It’s just that I’m moving a bit slow. I’ll go down


    immediately. Don’t rush, Isabe!”


    In the midst of it all, Heidi’s face had turned deathly pale. She didn’t dare to meet Isabe’s gaze,


    hoping that no one could possibly know what she had just been thinking. Although she had reached


    out her hand, it could be interpreted as any kind of action.


    Heidi assumed that she had already failed, and thought that she was just scaring herself. Yet, she


    failed to notice someone staring at her icily.


    While Rosalie was ying, she heard Isabe’s inner thoughts.

    To be honest, Isabe wasn’t quite sure how to handle the situation. Although they were rtives,


    they were not that close.


    Oh, right! I saw this happen with my own eyes. I can first share it with others, discuss it with them,


    and see what they think.


    Rosalie was puzzled. What’s going on? Did Heidi do something wrong?


    After receiving these vague and iplete pieces of information, Rosalie couldn’t help but observe


    Heidi more closely.


    As she continued to look, Rosalie found it somewhat absurd. She actually thought that Heidi and


    Tabitha bore a slight resemnce to each other.


    Afterward, Tabitha had Heidi stay for lunch, and then they had afternoon tea.


    Originally, Heidi had intended to stay on for dinner. However, Petra needed to change shifts. Once


    her shift ended, she immediately insisted on taking Heidi away.


    Heidi initially wanted to stay a bit longer, but the stern fierce look in Petra’s eyes made her


    reconsider. Heidi rarely saw her mother in such a state, and it was indeed intimidating. Despite


    feeling wronged, she had no choice but to heed the words of her mother, who was her only source


    of support in life.


    Just as Petra was leaving with Heidi, Hansel and his wife happened to return.


    Both of them were also in charge of some work at Quirk Group. Naturally, they needed to coordinate


    with Alexander and his team. Hence, they were at thepany earlier and had not seen Heidi.


    When Heidi was very young, she had seen these two people pick Tabitha up.


    The sight of that close–knit, harmonious family of three was exactly what Tabitha envisioned in her


    dreams.


    The couple adored Tabitha so much that she and everyone else in the ss felt a twinge of envy. It


    was as if Tabitha was a priceless gem.


    She always thought to herself that Tabitha was indeed fortunate. If she had parents like that, even if


    they weren’t as wealthy, she would surely be happy too.


    Regrettably, not only did sheck such loving parents, but she also had a mother who despised her


    to the core. At this very moment, it would have been proper for her to step forward and greet the


    couple. However, her mother would rather hide her, as if her mere presence was a source of


    embarrassment.
