Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 77

Mr. Harrison stepped forward respectfully. "Clara, you're back just in time. Dinner is ready."

She nodded and took a seat at the dining table.

The moment she sat down, she noticed that Jules and Ethan were actively avoiding eye contact with her.

Had these two idiots caused trouble again?

She asked coldly, "Are you two hiding something from me?"

Maybe it was because she had just stepped in from the cold, or maybe the system was boosting her aura, but her presence was growing increasingly intimidating... Ethan couldn't handle the oppressive atmosphere for a second longer. He threw his hand in the air and yelled, "Clara, I swear it had nothing to do with me! Jules did it!"

"Traitor!" Jules was furious. "As of today, you are dead to me!"

Clara scoffed. "Spit it out. What exactly did you do?"

Ethan immediately sucked up to her. "Jules threw two giant caterpillars into your bedroom!"

Clara: "..."

Jules was fourteen years old, wasn't he? Was it really acceptable to be this incredibly childish at his age?

It seemed she shouldn't have gone soft and given them the weekend off. Tomorrow, if she had time, she was going to the bookstore to buy them both massive stacks of practice tests.

"Clara, Jules didn't mean any harm," Serena chimed in with her delicate voice. "Jules just likes you, that's why he caught bugs to playfully scare you."

"Serena, I like you a lot too," Clara said, a sweet smile curving her lips. "In a bit, I'll go catch two bugs from the garden and toss them in your room. I really hope you won't be mad at me."

Vera spoke up coolly. "You're teenagers now, why are you still playing with bugs like toddlers? Jules, Ethan, I've got your suits prepared for tomorrow. I want you to try them on after dinner."

Jules snorted. "I made plans to play basketball with my friends tomorrow. I don't have time for a banquet."

Ethan racked his brain for an excuse. "I... I haven't finished my homework. I have to stay home and study."
