Chapter 7: Becoming the Path Beneath Her Feet

Eudora Cook felt that she was being unfairly targeted, truly unjustified!

As she packed her things and left the company, her team leader Debby Charley kindly came over to see her off.

"Eudora, I heard that our new female boss's name is Phoebe Hamlet! Do you think this new boss could be your friend?"

Before they parted, Debby Charley whispered in her ear, gossiping softly.

Eudora Cook paused for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Whether it is or not, it no longer has anything to do with me."

"Well, take care of yourself! Don't lose heart!" Debby Charley grinned, making a fist-pumping gesture of encouragement.

Eudora Cook nodded, smiling slightly.

At this moment, she felt utterly dejected.

It had taken her so much effort to find a paid internship, only for it to end so quickly.

Eudora Cook turned to look back at the interior design and renovation company, feeling a tinge of reluctance in her heart.

This was the first place where she had officially entered society and started her career.

Meanwhile, in a remote forest, Theodore Harrington, despite his injuries, continued to engage with the enemy.

The young mistress only likes high-end items, such as: luxury cosmetics, jewelry, designer clothes, designer handbags, and designer high heels! —— Butler.

After reading the message from Butler, Theodore Harrington couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that he had misjudged her?

Ah, well. If he did, so be it! After all, they had been intimate, and she was the only woman he had feelings for. Who else could he blame?

At most, when he retires, he will be responsible for earning money, while Phoebe Hamlet can focus on looking beautiful.

"Bro, what method will the Vulture Team choose next for smuggling?" asked his comrade Brian Gibbon, bringing Theodore Harrington back to the present.

Theodore Harrington put away his phone and pointed decisively at a river on the map: "The Vulture Team will definitely choose to use this river for water transport! But he will also use this land route as a cover for transportation."

His judgments were always accurate.

Except for his judgment of one woman!

Theodore Harrington had planned to buy her a special gift after this mission, so he asked Butler about Phoebe Hamlet's preferences.

Since Phoebe Hamlet liked common luxuries, Theodore Harrington thought it would be easier to just give her a credit card with an unlimited spending limit.

Indeed, when Butler received Theodore Harrington's instructions and gave Phoebe Hamlet the credit card, she was overjoyed, screaming several times.

She even hugged and embraced Butler, completely forgetting her dignity.

Butler, who was very embarrassed by Phoebe Hamlet's behavior, couldn't help but sneer and inexplicably developed a dislike for her.

Such a materialistic woman was simply not worthy of their young master!

With the money, Phoebe Hamlet quickly rose in the social circles of L City, making many connections with wealthy socialites and aristocrats.

With her extensive network, Phoebe Hamlet spent lavishly and found everything going smoothly.

However, her heart was never at ease, as Eudora Cook remained a thorn in her side.

She must find a way to make Eudora Cook unable to stay in L City.

After being fired, Eudora Cook was depressed for a few days before she gathered herself and started looking for a job again.

But, like a plague, companies would reject her upon hearing her name. In the end, not only did she fail to find a job, but even her landlord pressured her to pay higher rent.

Eudora Cook had no extra money for the rent, so she had no choice but to move out and go to her boyfriend, Truman MacMillan.

L City had a city center and a county area.

Truman MacMillan's university was in the county area, and it took her two and a half hours and three bus transfers to get there from the city center.

When Eudora Cook finally arrived at the gate of "L City University" with her suitcase, it was already dark.

The male dormitory closed at ten o'clock. Eudora Cook hadn't called Truman MacMillan beforehand; instead, she went straight to his dorm.

She knew where Truman MacMillan's dorm was. Every weekend, whenever she had free time, she would come to help him wash clothes, so the dormitory matron knew her.

Truman MacMillan's other three roommates also knew Eudora Cook and treated her like a sister.

When Eudora Cook stood at the door of Truman MacMillan's dorm with her suitcase, the three boys immediately stopped playing games and gathered around, welcoming her warmly.

Every time she came, she not only washed Truman MacMillan's clothes but, at his request, also washed his roommates'clothes and cleaned their dorm, which made them very fond of her.

Eric Isaiah, who had a buzz cut and slightly dark skin, greeted her enthusiastically: "Eudora, it's not the weekend today! Why are you here? And with such a big suitcase!"

Lennon Bauer brought a stool for Eudora Cook to sit and rest.

Vincent Clark, wearing black-rimmed glasses and appearing scholarly, poured her a glass of cold water: "Eudora, have some water."

"Thank you!" Eudora Cook took the water, smiled, and sat down, looking around, "Where's Truman?"

At the mention of Truman MacMillan, the three exchanged glances and hesitated. Eric Isaiah then said with a smile: "He went to study in the library!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Lennon Bauer stammered.

Vincent Clark, however, frowned and remained silent.

Eudora Cook felt that they were hiding something from her. As she reached into her bag to call Truman MacMillan, Vincent Clark suddenly came over and took her phone.

"No need to call. I'll take you to Truman directly," Vincent Clark said coldly.
