Haley didn't finish the rest of her words, but Shane already understood.He had heard from Mrs. Ford Sr. that although Yvonne had high business acumen, her initial dream was actually to stand on stage and play the violin. When she met Joe, she was the leading violinist of a well-known orchestra in the country.Later, Yvonne gave up her dream for love and ventured into entrepreneurship with Joe. Despite Joe's ambitions, he lacked talent in this area.Yvonne had to desperately study various financial knowledge to become a capable assistant to Joe. She devoted herself wholeheartedly, giving everything for Joe. Yet, she failed to realize that some men couldn't cope with the idea of their partners surpassing them in strength.Recalling these events, Shane let out a silent sigh and approached Haley, gently running his hand through her hair."Haley, Mom will definitely be watching.""Mm, I believe so too."A soft smile adorned Haley's lips, her eyes gleaming with confidence.The follo

Riley felt that Xena's worry was unnecessary. It wasn't the first time she had done something like this. She had been friends with Xena since high school. Back then, Xena was even more timid and frequently targeted by bullies. Each time, Riley would exact revenge discreetly, without detection. She was confident this time wouldn't be any different.Just before leaving, Riley suddenly recalled something. She glanced around cautiously and leaned in to Xena, lowering her voice, "You've got to shine today. Word is a VIP is coming to inspect."Xena, taken aback, queried, "Who's this VIP? Why haven't I heard about it?"Riley responded, "It's legit. I caught wind of it near the principal's office. I'm not sure who exactly is coming, but if the principal's making a fuss, they must be important."A glint of calculation flickered in Xena's eyes as she looked gratefully at Riley, "Riley, thanks for the heads up. I'll give it my all."Riley grinned, "No need for thanks. Just focus on your

After a long silence from inside the room, Riley furrowed her brows slightly. She raised her voice to Haley, "You stay put in there. Remember, from now on, stay out of Xena's way. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."Haley sneered, "You're quite loyal to Xena, huh? How many favors has she done for you?""Don't talk nonsense. Xena and I are best friends. How can you measure that with material things?"Haley raised an eyebrow, unable to believe there could be someone so foolish in the world. She suddenly burst into laughter, continuing to question Riley, "But you've done so much for her, and she's not even willing to give you material things. It seems you mean nothing to her after all.""Shut up! Xena said I'm her best friend!" Riley was provoked and shouted angrily.But Haley responded with a cold "Oh," seeming skeptical.Riley felt a surge of frustration, feeling stuck in a difficult situation. She wanted to give examples to prove how good Xena was to her, but she could not

The audience below was left wondering where Shane had disappeared to. Even Xena, who had just finished her performance onstage, seemed intrigued.Earlier, Riley had mentioned to her that a VIP was attending today's event, leaving Xena to ponder who it might be. It wasn't until she took the stage for her own performance that she finally spotted Shane seated beside the president!That individual turned out to be none other than a leading figure in the Ford family, wielding significant authority within the family circle and serving as the CEO of the Ford Corporation. He was widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in all of Jasper City. And to top it off, he was James's uncle!What was more important was that he was known for his aloof personality, unlike other Ford family members who showed favoritism towards Haley. In Xena's eyes, anyone showing no favoritism towards Haley could be an ally. With Shane's considerable influence within the Ford family, winning his favor co

Upon hearing Shane's words, the principal couldn't help but burst into laughter. "How did I not notice before? You've got such a sense of humor! It's true what they say, it's all about understanding people."Shane caught the implied meaning in his words and chuckled lightly, tacitly agreeing. He shifted his gaze back to Haley, asking with concern, "Haley, what happened tonight? Why were you locked up here? Do you know who did it?"Haley glanced at the principal and answered truthfully, "Yes, I do. It was Riley. As for the reason... you'll have to ask her yourself to find out."In reality, she knew very well that Riley was trying to stand up for Xena by locking her up. But this matter could be regarded as significant or trivial. If it were portrayed as just students fooling around, the principal would probably brush it off. But she didn't want to let it go so easily.Shane gazed at the principal, his expression puzzled. "Who is this Riley?"Before the principal could shake off his
