Chapter 139 Another “Mrs. Norwood”
A sly gleam flickered across Estelle’s face as she flopped onto the bed, her pale, slender legs kicking lazily in the air like she didn’t have a care in the world

He knew she meant every threat. She looked sweet and soft, but underneath it all, she was pure trouble. Dinner at the mayor’s had taught him that much. In the end, he had no choice but to let her stay.
“You’re the best, Evan. I knew you’d let me stay.” Estelle said, swinging her legs and smiling like honey.
Only then did Evan finally understand her purpose-everything she’d said earlier was just misdirection. Her real goal was simply to stay in the villa. By the time he realized it, it was already too late he had already agreed.
‘Mayor’s daughter, alright. Sly as hell.’
“Dr. Norwood, I’m here…”
Artemisia’s voice drifted in from outside the villa. As usual, she had come for her lessons. But the moment she pushed the door open, she froze.
‘A bombshell on par with Ms. Stanton living here? Dr. Norwood sure is something else!’
Seeing Artemisia studying Estelle so intently, Evan quickly introduced, “Artemisia, she’s-”
“Another Mrs. Norwood?” Artemisia blurted before he could finish.
At that, Estelle reacted the same way Sylvie had-startled for a second, then lighting up with joy. “What did you call me?”
“Don’t call her that!” Evan snapped immediately. ‘One person is already misunderstanding and staking her claim as my girlfriend-don’t let another one join in!’
“Why not? You brought her home.” Artemisia smiled brightly. “But Dr. Norwood, you really do have great taste. You only go for absolute stunners!”
She even gave him a big thumbs-up.
Meanwhile, Estelle beamed. “I get compliments all the time, but this? This is new. You really think I’m beautiful?”
“Of course!” Artemisia gushed. “You’re not just gorgeous-you can give supermodels a run for their money! You look familiar though…”
Estelle leaned in, eyes sparkling, giving her all sorts of signals. “Sil-U… Sil-U…” she whispered as a hint.

“I remember now! The most beautiful campus belle!” She snapped her fingers. “You’re the one on Sil-U’s admission letter, aren’t you?”
“Yes! That’s me!” Estelle said, equally excited.
Artemisia clasped her hands dramatically. “Dr. Norwood, your taste is impeccable. Mrs. Norwood is unmatched-stunning and ethereal.” She turned to Estelle, utterly sincere. “I’ll call you ‘Mrs. Norwood’ from now on.”
She said “Mrs. Norwood” with so much warmth that Estelle practically glowed. And within seconds, the two girls were hugging like they’d just become best friends, leaving Evan staring as if his brain had stalled.
‘First with Sylvie, and now Estelle? Seriously?’
Artemisia’s thoughts were simple: get along with every “Mrs. Norwood” and become best friends with them all. Evan would have to acknowledge her as his student whether he liked it or not.
And clearly, both Sylvie and Estelle responded very well to her tactics. Estelle, after hearing herself called “Mrs. Norwood” agam

and again, practically acted like she already owned the villa.
At that moment, Artemista tugged Evan aside conspiratorially. “Oh, Dr. Norwood, I almost forgot-on my way here, I met Ms. Stanton.”
