"Robert, you are more innocent than | think you are." Ivy was amused by what happened but did not dare to laugh seeing how
embarrassed he looked.
Robert rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"I guess that just means that all the friends you've been hanging out with are innocent as well," Ivy concluded. "Which is great. It
means that you have great friends."
Robert was so utterly humiliated that he did not mind being teased by his sister.
"Dad looked into each of my friends, and he wouldn't lethang out with them if they were bad people," Robert explained. "Our
parents are really protective."
"A university is its very ownmunity." Ivy poured him a glass of water. "But | think whether a person gets influenced by bad

people."
"Do you think that | will be a bad person, then?" Robert took a sip of the water.
"Of course, not. No one in our family ever will."
"Ivy, the good and the bad sometimes co-exist. Bad people have a good side to them, and people who seem nice on the surface
might have an evil side, too." Robert set his glass down and patted Ivy on the head. "I guess we all just need to live a life we won't
regret."
"Apart from that, we have to make sure that we don't violate any laws, too," she added. "A lot of bad people think that they have
no regrets either."
Robert felt as though he was being lectured by his younger sister, but he was not at all annoyed; instead, he was impressed by Ivy.
He had grown up beneath his parents’ wings, and they had taught him right from wrong, so people expect him to be brilliant, but it
was different for Ivy.
Ivy did not grow up in the lap offort and did not have the best education, but she was more maturepared to Robert.
Adversity taught one things that formal education never could, and this deepened Robert's belief that he needed to work harder at
being a better person.
On the weekend, Ivy woke up early to practice.
Ever since Harry starteding during the weekends to tutor her, Ivy began to look forward to the weekends.
The servant made breakfast and called her over to the dining room. As the servant served the food, she said, "lvy, you are getting
better at this."
Ivy blushed. "Really? Don't lie to me."

"Of course. | can tell the difference. You sound much better than you did before," the servant said earnestly. "You even have a
different voice when you practicepared to the way you usually speak. It is almost like you are a different person."
"I might have made sprogress, but you are exaggerating."
"Hahaha. | think you can be a broadcaster right now! Why don't you try asking your tutor what he thinks of your progress?"
The servant was slightly exaggerating, but this was normal as all of the servants loved Ivy, who was gentle and occasionally help
with the chores.
Ivy knew that the servant was only saying this because she liked her. Ivy knew that they all liked her.
She had managed to adopt the Aryadelle accent, but there was still a lot of space for improvement.
At half past eight in the morning, Harry arrived at Elliot's mansion.
