“Cecilia always listened to you since she was young. The way forward depended on your guidance.” Mr Lisa said.

“I will guide her well, Mr Lisa,” Scarlet assured.

Lisa was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Upon hearing this, Scarlet felt even more uneasy.

“Don’t cause her any more trouble in the future,” Lisa added.

“Yes…” Scarlet hadn’t expected Mr Lisa to say such words. As she watched his figure walking away, her anger grew.

Who was causing trouble for whom?

The thought of making Miss Cecilia apologize to Isabella the next day filled Scarlet with intense anger and heartache.
