Chapter 90


    Chapter 90 Not Quite Satisfied


    It had been many years since Roryst saw Gwendolyn, so she was initially overjoyed. However, her


    happiness was instantly reced with anger when she heard Sheralyn’s words.


    “How dare you insult my mentor and me? Are you asking for death?”


    Being a martial artist, Rory’s overpowering aura could be felt even through the screen when she was


    angry.


    Sheralyn was immediately intimidated.


    Rory continued, “How dare you insult her by calling her an orphan?! Don’t you know that she-”


    “Rory!”


    Gwendolyn interrupted and shot Rory a frowning look.


    Rory froze for a moment. Although she was somewhat puzzled, she still stopped talking.


    Gwendolyn then shifted her gaze back to Samantha, who was still shocked and unable to speak a


    word.


    Originally, Samantha thought that Gwendolyn would be utterly defeated at the Mossey family’s opening


    ceremony, but not only did Gwendolyn actually win against Sorest, but she also made quite at ssh.


    Gwendolyn was not a fake apprentice nor someone shadowing Rory.


    Instead, she was actually Rory’s master. Never in Samantha’s wildest dreams did she imagine this to


    be


    the case.


    Samantha was so infuriated that she felt like she was going to vomit blood.


    With so many pairs of eyes staring at her from below the stage, she felt utterly embarrassed and


    wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.


    Unfortunately, she was too na?ve.


    Gwendolyn was someone who always made sure to settle scores, so there was no way she would let


    Samantha off the hook easily.


    “So, Ms. Lane. Who got humiliated this time? You, or me?”


    Samantha gritted her teeth in anger, but she had to hold back since Rory’s video call was still on, and


    Treyton was also there. Gwendolyn had powerful people backing her up.


    Not daring to say anything too provocative, Samantha forced a smile and managed, “I offended


    because of my recklessness this time.”


    you


    “Is that all?”


    Gwendolyn shook her head and chuckled lightly. “Your apology is too perfunctory. I’in not quite


    satisfied, so..”


    She paused for a moment, ncing at Treyton.


    Treyton understood right away, while Elisha immediately left the venue. A minuteter, she returned


    with two strong bodyguards dressed in ck suits, striding confidently toward Samantha,


    Samantha turned pale from the intimidating presence of the bodyguards. She retreated frantically,


    eximing, “What do you want?”


    Without giving her a chance to exin, the bodyguards took action and restrained her wrists from


    behind.


    Seeing the scene, Madelyn was worried that Gwendolyn would cause casualties and ruin the Mossey


    family’s opening ceremony. Just as she was about to step forward to contain the situation, Inez held


    her


    back.


    Thetter shook her head and whispered, “She should know what she’s doing.”


    Madelyn had no choice but to step back.


    The atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly turned lense. Due to Treyton’s status, none of the guests


    sitting below the stage dared to step forward and intervene.


    Moreover, it was true that Samantha almost falsely used Gwendolyn this time. If it weren’t for the


    video call with Rory, Gwendolyn might have already been deemed guilty of shadowing the former and


    imitating her.


    There wasn’t anything wrong with Gwendolyn wanting to get back at Samantha; one could only say


    that Samantha brought it upon herself.


    Samantha watched as Gwendolyn slowly approached her step by step. The fierce aura emanating from


    thetter made Samantha shiver in fear.


    She tried to muster her strength, her lips trembling as she said, “I am the future heir of the Lane family!


    If you darey a finger on me, the Lane family will never let you off!”


    Gwendolyn chuckled at that. Her eyes crinkled, making her look harmless.


    “All right. I’ll be waiting.”


    The next second, Gwendolyn’s smile disappeared. A cruel look overtook her face, and she raised her


    hand and hit Samantha’s face twice with great force.


    The crisp ps echoed throughout the entire venue.


    Someone below let out a gasp. Oh my, she really hit her in the face! What a ruthless woman!


    Immediately, Samantha’s eyes welled up with tears. The ps were so painful that she was unable to


    utter a syble for a moment.


    Her fair cheek was now marked with bright red handprints, and traces of blood could be seen at the


    corner of her mouth. She looked both pitiful and disheveled, nothing like her glorious self as the


    wealthy Lane family’s daughter.


    Samantha bit her lip and began weeping aggrievedly, but Gwendolyn mped her chin and forcibly


    lifted her head up.


    As Gwendolyn admired her own masterpiece, she clicked her tongue twice. “Indeed, one doesn’t know


    pain until one is pped in the face. Did you ever think this day woulde every time me?”


    you framed


    Samantha was utterly mortified and furious. Because of her swollen face, she was in too much pain to


    even speak.


    In the end, it was Frida and Sheralyn who recklessly rushed onto the stage and rescued poor


    Samantha from the hands of the bodyguards.


    Feeling too embarrassed to stay in the venue any longer, the two of them supported a dazed Samantha


    and left with their tails between their legs.


    They didn’t even dare to say any harsh words before leaving. Instead, they red at Gwendolyn


    viciously, wishing they could kill her with their looks.


    Nevertheless, Gwendolyn was unbothered by this way of threatening.


    Only the weak would rely on such methods to scare off their opponents.


    Following the departure of Samantha and her twopanions, the atmosphere in the venue remained


    gloomy.


    When the guests learned that Gwendolyn was Rory’s mentor, they were only shocked. But after they


    witnessed her giving Samantha a lesson in public, their shock turned into fear.


    In the end, it was Rory who warmed up the mood by enthusiastically congratting the Mossey family


    on the opening ceremony through the video call.


    Although there were some hups in the opening ceremony, the Mossey family ultimately received


    Rory’s blessings, which made the event a great sess. The altercation was, after all, a blessing in


    disguise.


    Madelyn and Jerome couldn’t stop smiling, and they treated Gwendolyn as if she were a deity.


    As the couple warmly greeted the guests, the atmosphere in thetter half of the ceremony turned


    harmonious.


    Gwendolyn wasn’t too fond of these events where she had to constantly socialize, so she found an


    excuse to slip away to a quiet hallway.


    After making sure no one was around, she took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn’t called


    for a long time.


    The calm and aged voice that answered the call sounded unusually excited.


    “Ipletely lost contact with you ever since you left Rodunst. Later, when the Harris family.


    announced your death, I couldn’t sleep for several nights. Thankfully, you’re all right…”


    Gwendolyn smiled and responded, “They say that a bad penny always turns up. How could a bad


    penny like me die so easily?”


    Her self-deprecating humor amused Rory.


    Putting on a serious expression, Gwendolyn continued, “Thank you for today.”


    “You don’t need to thank me. You’re technically half my master, anyway.”


    When Gwendolyn was young, she was sent to a reclusive expert in Rodunst to study martial arts.


    There, Rory was an apprentice senior to Gwendolyn


    Due to Gwendolyn’s exceptional talent, she not only grasped the techniques quickly but was also


    clever. enough to improve them. When Rory lost to her in a match one time and begged her to impart


    the improved techniques, Gwendolyn had teasingly asked Rory to call her “master.”


    This time, Rory figured out that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Gwendolyn, so she


    reacted quickly and cooperated with thetter to put on a show.


    With their old memories brought up, both of them couldn’t help butment about the past.


    Gwendolyn was contemting whether she should ask how her other seniors were doing when


    suddenly, she heard the sound of wheels approaching from a distance.


    She promptly hung up the phone and turned around. At the end of the hallway, Inez was slowly


    approaching her in a wheelchair.


    Gazing at Gwendolyn’s stunning face intently, Inez began smilingly, “From the moment I woke


    up


    firstid eyes on you, I knew there was something extraordinary about you. Your calmpose


    elegant demeanor don’t seem to belong to a poor child who grew up in an orphanage.”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Gwendolyn pressed her lips together and looked at Inez without a word.


    and


    and


    Inez went on, “I’ve been spending time with Kieran these days, but he’s got such a cold personality.


    The only two sentences he’s ever said to me were about you. I think you must hold a very special ce


    in his heart.”


    Gwendolyn frowned almost imperceptibly. “What do you want to ask?”


    “You’re capable of making the two young masters of the Harris family from Salinsburgh willingly do


    everything for you…”


    Inez paused for a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with suspicion. “Who are you, really?”
