Chapter 23 The Despicable Man
Lena thought she was really in the limelight this time, and even the school's celebration couldn't be more eye-catching than her.
There were always many gossips about her in the school, but she didn't respond to them directly.
This time, Cliff himself stood up, told the whole school that if they dared to insult Lena again, the Huo Company's legal team would come to welcome them at any time.
Simple and awe inspiring, and it came to effect soon.
"Isn't it too much, Albert?" Even though feeling good, Lena still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Lena, you have to remember that this world follows the jungle rules. Eveb if you feel pity for them, they may not consider for you."
"If we have the ability to do that, we have to threaten them first. Only in this way, can we save a lot of unnecessary trouble. "
After that, Mr. Huo once again taught Lena about power.
No matter how much information Lena could learn from his words, Cliff would never protect her too much and keep her in the ivory tower like before.
The treasure in his heart could be naive, but she couldn't be ignorant. She must know everything she should know.
"Lena, do you understand?" Asked Cliff, looking into Lena's eyes.
"I will keep it in mind, Cliff." Lena nodded obediently.
"Lena, let's go home."
"Yes, dear zed."
Their figures shifted from side to side. 'you are the one in my heart, and I am the one in your heart.'.
Nora, with short hair cut in a fashionable way, looked at them in shock.
"……" 'Dumping me after I'm used? Do you think I'm disposable?'
She was like the outsider when it came to the relationship Lena was having with Cliff.
She sighed helplessly and walked with heavy steps towards the campus.
The real reason why she insisted on coming to the school today was not to see some stupid shows, it was that she found the person who started the rumor by pulling some strings of her own.
She had thought that Lena would be safe in the hall, in the crowd, so she left for a while, but she had ignored that there was more than one mouse.
How could she let Lena pay for her willfulness? She felt so bad for that.
The person, who started the rumor, was so shameless. She loved Cliff Huo in secret, but she blamed Lena for stealing his heart.
Who was to blame for her indiscreet behavior and losing her job? No one but herself of course!
"Bitch, I will let you know why the flowers all turn red today. You not only made Lena suffer, but also made me feel so guilty. "
"Damn you!" Nora was a brutal woman. She would fight with people if any wrong have been made. She believed that everyone would give in when it's either that or violence.
Nora gave the woman a good beating and stopped when she heard her screaming painfully.
If you hurt us again, I'll throw you into the sea and feed you to the fish on the cruise ship! " Nora threatened, squinting her eyes.
"I, I, I dare not..." The woman said, it was Lena's first nurse.
Although being dismissed, it was just a warning, not an absolute wipe out. Unexpectedly, this woman was so ambitious that she found out Lena's school and spread many fake things after knowing about Lena's past. The purpose was to embarrass Lena so bad that she could not stay at school any longer, even better, things may result into a miscarriage.
How vicious she was! In order to frame Lena, she had done something so evil and brought her troubles.
"Woman, words alone are no proof. Let's go to a good place and have the people inside to be our witnesses. " An idea came up in Nora's mind.
Then she dragged the woman all the way, regardless of her cry of pain. She came to the police station with a board and wrote on it with an oil pen, "I'm a bitch! I'm guilty! " '
She left the woman at the gate and cast a letter to the guard, pointing to her.
After settling that matter, Nora was in a good mood. Even when she went back to her home, she got along well with the people around her. Except for some people, she was still in a good mood.
"Where did you go?" Austin was having soup in an impeccable manner. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Nora who was sitting beside him and asked her in a conceited voice.
"None of your business." Nora rolled her eyes and sat in the corner. The servant came to put one more pair of chopsticks and a bowl for her.
Nora munched the dishes, without any elegance, but was full of generosity.
From time to time, some rice grains ran to the table and leftovers were left on the side of the mouth. Anyway, compared with Austin's manners, the scene of her eating was indescribable. Anyone with lower self-esteem was likely to be deeply hurt in their heart.
Without sparing Austin a glance, Nora burped after she finished the meal. She put down her chopsticks and was about to leave.
She had had a hell of workout today, so she planned to take a bath and relax herself, enjoying the music and drinking some wine. It would be a wonderful day.
"Stop." Austin put down a white handkerchief and looked at her directly.
"Where did you go today?" His eyes suddenly caught sight of a spot where the color was a little dark red.

He then glanced at Nora from head to toe and finally found something unusual.
There seemed to be something wrong with her feet, and her knuckles turned red.
"Nora, you had a fight." It was a statement rather than a question.
"So what?" She didn't want to hide anything from him, so she swung her fists with pride upon hearing his words.
Nora's fluttering heart was also relieved.
"Are you proud of that? Do you think you should be proud of what you did? " Austin asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes! What do you think? " She was as aggressive and arrogant as a hedgehog.
"Nora, do you remember the family rules?" Austin said with a cunning smile like a fox. He began to recite the rules in front of Nora, especially when it came to the part about fighting, and Austin repeated with a stressed tone on purpose.
'Damn it! Austin is such a mean man!' she cursed in her mind.
"I've grown up. The family rules are useless to me. Don't threaten me with this, Austin Lin. " Nora stared at Austin and gritted her teeth.
"It's not up to me. Or maybe you want me to call dad and mom to tell them you fought with others? "
"Or, do you want to tell them that your vows and promises mean nothing to you? And that breaking the family rules is as easy as eating and drinking water? Plenty of choices. It's up to you. " A wry smile appeared on his face.
Nora got so furious that she wanted to tear the man's face off.
What's so funny? He's a grown man! 'take a chicken's hair as an order?'?
Nora was so angry but she controlled herself.
'you're a penny pincher, absolutely a penny pincher!'!
"A self-criticism review with true feelings! I want to see it before breakfast tomorrow, or you'll pay for it! "
"That will be the end of our little discussion, my dear Nora."
