Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe) novel Chapter 1022

Lena glanced up at Willington, quickly surveying the various looks people around her were giving. She frowned slightly.

There was no way she could focus and finish her drawing here this afternoon.

"Thank you." Lena moved swiftly, gathering her belongings in haste and striding out of the drawing room.

"It's just a small award. What's she so proud of?" someone muttered from a corner of the drawing room.

Willington and Gideon both turned their gaze in that direction at the same time.

The comment came from a young man with a frivolous demeanor. He hadn't managed to conceal the disdain in his eyes when the two looked over.

Gideon looked at he, Kenny smirked provocatively, "No matter what, she's just a woman. Who knows what methods she used to win the award. Right, Gideon?"

Kenny assumed Gideon would agree with him, unable to accept losing to a woman himself.

Gideon, who always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, for the first time let his face harden, sarcasm written all over it. "Didn't you also participate in the contest? Couldn't even get a consolation prize?"

Kenny's face darkened immediately. He dared to speak ill of Lena behind her back, but he didn't dare to offend Gideon. After all, Gideon had the McKinney Group behind him, not someone he could afford to provoke lightly.

"I was just trying to stand up for you. Everyone knows your talent far surpasses Lena's..." Kenny said, trying to laugh it off.

Gideon stood up as well, gathering his things without giving Kenny another glance.

"Lena is more than a hundred times better than you." Gideon sneered, his eyes cold. Kenny shivered, too angry to say anything more, even if he wanted to.

In his panic, Kenny didn't notice the fierce look Willington gave him.

The next day, as soon as Gideon arrived in the classroom, he heard some news.
