PopularNovelChapter 66 "If I hadn't been overseas back then, Mila wouldn't have had the chance to worm her way in! She stole my fate and madea laughingstock in our circle for so long. This time, I'm back, and I'm not going to let her off easy. Everything she took from me, I'll make her return, piece by piece. I'll shatter everything she holds dear and make her life unbearable!" Giselle paused to let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Seven years, and she still couldn't win Lysander's heart. Her own worthless child ran off with just a little coaxing. She's a pitiful failure." Mrs. Harvey stroked her daughter's beautiful face with a tender, motherly smile.
"That's right, my Giselle is a hundred, no, a thousand times more beautiful and capable than that Mila. Taking her down will be child's play." "Mom-" Giselle nestled against Rosalind's hand, displaying a warm, dependent demeanor.

Her great-aunt was returning today, and Mila had promised to pick her up.
As she left, she noticed a few large moving trucks parked across the street, and the hustle and bustle of workers moving new furniture in and out. It seemed the new neighbor from abroad was about to move in.
Mila didn't give it much thought as she drove off toward the airport.
Upon arriving at the airport's VIP entrance, she unexpectedly spotted Roland, who was there seeing off a well- dressed, dignified-looking middle-aged couple.
Roland noticed her too.
After bidding farewell to his parents, Roland approached Mila with a warm greeting.
"Ms. Sutherland, here to pick someone up?" Mila nodded, casually mentioning, "I'm here to pick up a family elder." "What a coincidence," Roland smiled. "I was just seeing off my parents. I'm settling back here now, and my folks can finally enjoy swell-deserved travel abroad." Mila raised an eyebrow slightly.
She recalled hearing Roland mention at a Lockwood family gathering that he would be taking over the family's domestic businesses, leaving Ryan in his charge.

Just as she was about to deflect the question, a commotion erupted from the VIP corridor accompanied by the rapid clicking of cameras. A large group was heading their way. They soon spotted the crowd.
At the center was an elderly woman in a striking magenta vintage suit, tall and slender, with an imposing M presence. Her short, white hair was impeccably styled, and she wore oversized sunglasses with bright red lips, striding confidently as the focal point of the entire entourage.
Roland recognized the woman, surprise flickering in his eyes He also noted Mila's eyes lighting up with recognition, which caught him off guard. He couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Sutherland, is this the teacher you're here to meet?"
