Chapter47
Although my younger brother Dewey has a cheerful personality and prefers painting to studying, the public elementary school he attends now has good teachers and great competition. He is always in the top five in his grade, which is a pretty stable result. Moreover, he is really talented in painting.
Unfortunately, Linda was born. She was at the bottom of her grade at Yredo Middle School, and now she is in Ordstead and can’t keep up with the progress in any subject.
If it was because there was no blood relationship that the good genes could not be inherited, but Dora saw that the two young masters of the Hendrix family were not that stupid. Instead, they were unusually smart, so smart that it was frightening.

Dora didn’t think much about it, opened the economics book and started writing this week’s paper assignment.
The competition in Ordstead was too fierce. If she slacked off, she would be left behind. She was able to stay in Ordstead with tuition waived because she was ranked first in the grade, so she had to be more cautious.
I had only written two paragraphs of the paper when another call came in.
Dora glanced at the caller ID, her eyes darkened, and she hung up.
Ringing again.
Hang up again.
Keep ringing.
Keep hanging.

The other party kept calling, and the ringing was so loud that even Keith in the next room came over to ask what was going on.
Dora waved at Keith, indicating that she was fine and he didn’t need to worry, and then she answered the phone irritably.
“Andy, what do you want to do?”
A low–key and luxurious dark green Mercedes–Benz was parked at the entrance of the community. The man in the back seat had his legs crossed, exuding a noble and steady temperament that made people dare not disrespect him.
Finally, he heard Dora’s voice on the phone. Andy glanced at the woman pushing a stall outside the car window and said, “I’m at the gate of your community. Come down and talk to me. Or, I’ll invite this lady to get in the car and talk.”
Andy’s voice was charming and seductive, but it made Dora’s hair stand on end.
At this time, he probably met Chris Mcbride who was coming back from closing his stall.
“Just wait.” Dora hung up the phone, grabbed the keys and ran out.
She knew Andy too well, and his methods were sinister and ruthless. Chris Mcbride was gentle and could not handle Andy. If Chris Mcbride was really invited to get in the car, there was no guarantee that this lunatic Andy would say something shocking and make Chris Mcbride doubt his life, and then force her to return to the Hendrix family.
In just two minutes, Dora had changed her shoes and ran downstairs, where she happened to meet Chris Mcbride.
“Mom.” Dora took a breath, slowed down her pace, and put on her usual smile. “You’re back from closing the stall so soon? How was business this

morning?”

Chris Mcbride was very happy, holding Dora’s hand and said excitedly: “I steamed a big bucket of rice this morning, and it was all sold! Many children went to cram schools today, and many office workers came to buy. Business is good.”
“Then you’ll have to prepare more ingredients for your official stall tomorrow.” Dora patted the back of Chris Mcbride’s hand, as if to encourage him, “Mom, you go upstairs and rest for a while. My friend is here to see me, so I’ll be out for a while.”
“Okay, I’ll go back and cook the meal and come back early.” Chris Mcbride went upstairs with a smile on his face.
Andy watched the interaction between the two from afar through the car window. When he saw Dora walking towards him with big strides, he slowly retracted his gaze and looked forward.
“drive.”
“Ah?” The driver was stunned. Didn’t he say he came here to find a lady?
Andy’s cold gaze met the driver’s line of sight in the rearview mirror. The driver shuddered and immediately started the car and drove away.
Dora happened to walk to the door and watched the Mercedes drive away from her.
She frowned and a question mark appeared on her head.
What are you crazy about?
Dora took out her cell phone and called Andy, and the call was quickly connected.
“Don’t you want to talk to me? You left as soon as I came down, and you’re just playing with me?” Dora’s tone was quite bad. She was already

unhappy with Andy, and now she was even angrier because he was played with for no reason.

Andy was very calm and said confidently: “I suddenly don’t want to talk anymore. I’ll pick you up for dinner tomorrow night.”
