"Wow! Nanny Vera, your clothes are so beautiful," Lester complimented."Lester, you're so sweet. Remember to say the same thing when you see Grandma later, okay?" Vera reminded him.Vera was teaching Lester how to be likable."Lester, do you remember what to do when you see Grandma later?" she asked."I remember. I'll say, 'Grandma, Lester misses you.'" Lester's voice sounded extremely docile.Vera clapped her hands in approval. "Good. This is the only way to make Grandma like you more."Serena's furrowed her eyebrows tightly as she heard what Vera said. This nanny didn't know her proper place; who allowed her to teach Lester how to behave? The children of the Bishop family were supposed to learn how to be reserved and noble. They were taught not to degrade themselves as a way to distinguish themselves from commoners. What was she teaching? Was she teaching children how to be cleverly please adults?"Uncle doesn't want to play with me these past few days," Lester complained.

"Vera, who gave you the authority to think you can educate the Bishop children?" Serena's anger could no longer be contained. Her face was ashen, and the fiery look in her eyes was terrifying."Madam Serena, I… I was just afraid that Mr. Lester would be wronged. I, I…" Vera stuttered. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud."Lester is now past three years old, and it's around the time when his values are forming! They say a person's character is set by the age of three. If he's already selfish and dishonest now, then what future does he have?" Serena shouted.Vera knelt on the ground, too scared to speak."I will sue you for abandoning your duty. I will recover all the income you've earned in the three years you've been raising Lester and make you pay the price! I will also make it known to everyone that whoever dares to hire you in the future will be seen as an enemy of the Bishops!" Serena declared.Serena picked up the stack of documents on the table and

After the truth of the matter became clear, the Bishop's naturally had to come to apologize in person. However, as expected, Leo was "unavailable" when the two visited.When Serena visited, Celeste was still relatively polite."Since it's a matter between children and the instigator has received appropriate punishment, this case should be closed. I will convey the apology to Leo, so you don't have to worry too much," Celeste said to Serena.When Serena said she wanted to see Leo, Celeste simply smiled politely and said, "How unfortunate. Leo just went to bed."Serena deliberately chose to come after 6:00 pm. Leo should have just returned from kindergarten and probably hasn't had the time to undress from his school uniform. Celeste's lie was clumsily fabricated, and its purpose was quite obvious."Celeste… I want to apologize to Leo." Serena became even more embarrassed after hearing Celeste's blatant lie.Celeste remained unmoved by this and said bluntly, "You've also saved him,

Ruben maintained a poker face while interacting with Damon, but when he heard that the complainant had arrived, his expression softened significantly."I'll mediate shortly, and I'd advise you to adjust your attitude too. Do it for the sake of the child. Try to accommodate woman's perspective," he advised Damon.Damon raised an eyebrow in surprise. He did not expect a tough guy like Ruben to be so considerate."Are you married?" Damon suddenly asked.Ruben was caught off guard by the personal question and paused before replying, "Not yet.""Do you have a girlfriend?""No, not that either."What a waste of a good heart. Damon raised his eyebrows."I don't have a girlfriend, but the principle remains the same. Dominant attitude doesn't sit well with ladies. If you can soothe and accommodate her, then avoid arguing," Ruben got anxious when he saw the look on Damon's face. He thought Damon didn't believe him.……The sound of high heels clicking on marble floors approached steadil

The way Damon looked at her was too intense. Celeste gradually lost her composure under his scrutiny, and her cheeks grew red."Enough talk!" She abruptly stood up and knocked her shin against the chair with a dull thud.Damon got nervous. He sighed as he watched Celeste's brows furrowed, then relaxed. This woman always seemed to be getting hurt.He glanced down at her shin, where the scar was still there. The scar was left from the year she had gone golfing with Cedric. She deliberately banged her shin against the coffee table in the living room in an attempt to calm Damon's fury.Celeste wore long sleeves year-round because of the scars from self-harm during her period of depression.He had bought many scar removal products for her, and would apply them to her scars every night before bed when they were still together. But despite his efforts, the scars had not completely faded."What's done is done, and nothing could be changed." Indeed, she cared about her appearance, but she
