Favoritism wasn't something that could be shifted within a blink of an eye.
It wasn't something that could be changed easily.
Calter and Celine had favored Amelia more ever since she was a child, and they had never liked Preslie. It was impossible for them to switch that up quickly.
Calter and Celine still favored Amelia.
It was just that Preslie now had more prestige, and both her parents just wanted to get on her good side.
Their beloved daughter, however, was still Amelia.
Calter said worriedly, "Is Amelia fine? I hope nothing happened to her."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen." Celine said firmly, "She's just unhappy that we brought Preslie back. She will stay in her classmate's house tonight, so you can just relax."
After thinking for a while, Calter shook his head and said, "Amelia isn't very smart. Why did she get mad? Now that Preslie is working in the President's Office, she should be on good terms with her. Who knows, maybe Preslie will be able to help her someday."
Calter began sputtering, "Maybe Preslie will be able to help Amelia find a place in the office. If Preslie can be a good employee despite being dumb, what about Amelia? I'm pretty sure she would excel as well!"
Celine had the same idea.
However, this was not an urgent matter.
Besides, Amelia had always been arrogant. If they asked her to flatter Preslie, she probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
Celine thought she had better work hard for Amelia's future.
Calter then said, "Let's stop talking and go to bed early. I'll call the relatives to come by tomorrow."
Although Preslie had said no, Celine insisted on inviting them over.
She would never miss such an opportunity to make herself stand out and look proud.
A trace of pride flashed across Calter's eyes.
Like Celine, he liked to show off.
He said happily, "Tomorrow, everyone will know that we have someone working in the President's Office. Preslie has always been stupid, but who knew a day would come where she would be able to help us."
In another bedroom.
Preslie kept tossing and turning in bed.
Today was like a dream.
At first, Celine and Calter's change had made Preslie feel relieved. Later, she felt warmth in her heart as well.
She couldn't help but call Yesseca to tell her about it.
She had a lot to say to Yesseca.
However, she managed to suppress her emotions.
It was late at night now. It was fine if she didn't sleep, but she couldn't do that to Yesseca.
Preslie sent a text message to Yesseca instead.
"I feel like maybe my parents aren't actually that bad." After sending her message, Preslie could not help smiling.
Preslie snuck deep into her covers and shut her eyes, dozing off to sleep.
Tremaine's phone rang several hours after Preslie sent the text message to Yesseca.
It wasn't even six o'clock.
It was still dark outside.
Tremaine hung up the call.
Yesseca was still sleeping, and he was afraid of disturbing her.
He walked out of the bedroom and called the number back.
It was Sheldon.
It seemed like there must be something important for Sheldon to call at this time.
As expected, as soon as the call was connected, Sheldon's anxious voice sounded through the speakers. "Sir, since last night, news has spread all over Nashaland that you refused to marry Navidia from Megeland for a civilian woman, and even allowed Hogan to resign due to his disappointment in your actions."
Hearing this, Tremaine's eyes shook slightly.
