Phoebe thought for a moment and said to Corinne, “Come with me, then. I wish to speak with you in private!”
Corinne smiled. “Sure.”
Sunny raised his head in surprise when Corinne did not explain herself to his mother. “Mom, she’s-”
“Focus on your homework, young man,” said Corinne. “I’ll come back and check your progress later.”
Sunny frowned in confusion when Corinne cut him off. When he saw Corinne heading out with his mother, Sunny
scratched his head in confusion as to why Corinne would pretend to be hist
tutor.

Phoebe closed the door, looked at her from head to toe, and asked, “How shall I address you?”
Corinne smiled. “Carew’s my surname, so you may call me Miss Carew.”
Phoebe crossed her arms proudly. “Hello, Miss Carew. Tell me about yourself. Which university did you graduate
from?”
Corinne replied truthfully, “I graduated from the University of New Capital City. I received decent grades in all my
courses, so I believe I am capable of tutoring a high school student such as your son.”
The University of New Capital City was the best school in the country, and those accepted into the university were
top students from all over the country! Phoebe was very satisfied with Corinne’s education qualifications and asked,
“How much did Lucas pay you to tutor my son?”
Corinne maintained her smile and said, “Not much. I’m afraid I cannot disclose the details.”
Phoebe raised her chin and said, “I’ll pay ten times whatever he’s paying you!”
Corinne feigned surprise. “I don’t quite understand what you mean, ma’am. Aren’t you and Mister Lucas a family?
Why would you pay twice just for a tutor?”
Phoebe stared skeptically at Corinne. “Be honest with me, Miss Carew. Did Lucas pay you to teach my son all the
wrong things so he’ll fail his exams and can’t further his studies?”
“Would you believe me if I said no, ma’am?” questioned Corinne.
Phoebe sneered. “Do you think I’d believe you if you say that?”
Corinne shrugged. “In that case, you’re free to trust your judgment. I’m under no obligation to answer.”

Phoebe frowned and looked at Corinne. “I don’t care what Lucas told you to teach my son. I’ll still pay you ten times
the price on the condition that you teach my son as best as you can so he can be accepted to a good university! I
can give you whatever you want if you can get my son to be accepted by your alma mater!”
Corinne blinked. “Are you sure about that? Does that mean I can request anything from you?”
Phoebe ostentatiously replied, “Haven’t you seen just how good our family’s financial background is? What makes
you think I can’t fulfill any of your requests? You can have anything you want, as long as you ensure that my son is
accepted into the University of New Capital City!”
Corinne smirked, stepped forward, and approached Phoebe to within arm’s reach. She narrowed her eyes, stared
into Phoebe’s eyes, and said, “What if I want you dead?”
Phoebe’s arrogance had been suppressed by Corinne. Fear crept into her heart, and she felt a little disconcerted as
well. “What did you say?!”
