Chapter 54


    “Academic prodigy” Beard fiddled with the two best papers, and his eyes were filled with surprise.


    At the Everett residence, a ruckus was beard


    “Useless bunch!”


    Giselle looked at the cline news reports, where Kirvin became the next mayer, Joel tell from grace


    due to bribery, and faniya’s family was investigated and sealed she felt


    contemptuous.


    she thought she could use janiya to teach Hewa lesson, but then the Figueroa family got into


    trouble


    Hera, that country bumpkin, was really lucky.


    She always managed to escape!


    “Ms. Everett, dinner is ready.” The maid knocked on the door of the room.


    “I’ming”


    ble. However, there were five sets of cutlery on the table.


    Giselle was thest one to take her seat at the dinner table, and she noticed that there were only


    four people at the table


    The extra set of cutlery was ced in the spot where Hera had sat before.


    James didn’t notice that Lilith was staring at that spot absent–mindedly.

    Seeing this, Giselle felt a strong sense of resentment in her heart.


    Hera had moved out, so why was Lilith still so concemed about her?


    “Judy, did you forget that Grandma hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet?” Giselle smiled


    and asked.


    “The table set by Mrs. Everett, Judy McCoy muttered and quickly removed the extra set of cutlery


    This move caught James‘ attention.


    He looked at the empty seat where Heta had sat bedore and calcted the time.


    “Dad, didn’t you say that Hera woulde back and apologize within a week?” Giselle asked with


    an air of indifference, as it she was just watching the show


    It had been half a month now.


    Not only had Hera not returned, but there had been no sign of her at all.


    James‘ facial expression immediately darkened, and his first reaction was to look at Lilith.


    “Are you secretly contacting her and ghing her money behind my back?”


    Lich hastily denied, “No!”


    Shehad previously secretly sent money to Hera, but Hera returned it all.


    Hera said she had money


    But she had only moved to the city recently.


    1. y. Even if Catherine had given her some money, it wouldn’t havested long in the expensive


    city


    “I don’t believe it!” Gino said.


    Lilith had given Heca 100 thousand dors in pocket money!


    ? ? ? ? ?


    That 100 thousand dors had ended up in his hands. Hera should be broke now.


    As he raised his head, he saw the other three people looking at him. They were waiting for him to


    need some unknown secret.


    Gino contined, “As II“.


    All three of them were speechless


    “Did she starve to death at the academy?” James blurted out in anger.


    “Dad, don’t be angry. Hera is actually living quite well at the academy. Once after ss, I saw her


    with “Giselle paused intentionally, and her hesitant look made people even more


    curious.


    “Who was she with!” James asked s


    Isharply.


    Giselle hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to say it. She opened her phone and handed it to


    him


    The more she acted like this, the more curious it made people. What exactly did Hera do?


    Lich put down her cutlery and was about to get up to see when James threw the phone to the


    ground angrily


    “This unfilial girl! How dareshe do such depraved things! And she still feels that she hasn’t


    disgraced the Everett family enough!”


    Lath quickly picked up the phone, and on the screen was a photo of Herawalking away with a few


    delinquents.


    “Howeld this be.“she covered her mouth in disbelied


    Giselle added imperceptibly when she saw James anger re up again.


    “Dad, don’t be angry.”


    She got up tofort James and the whispered something in his ear. James” angry expression


    gradually subsided.


    “Okay. Bring her back when the timees.” James nodded.


    “ukey, Dad.“Obelle’s eyesshed with a cunning light.
