Chapter 106
Tabitha’s expression changed as this sentence finally hit her, it was like she had seriously put the other person in the enemy camp, only to realize in the end that they didn’t care at all.
“You, you were trying to please me, right!”
Paulette: “Why should I suck up to you?”
She looked indifferent, just stating the facts, “Like you said, at most we’re just distant relatives by blood, whether it’s helping you out or trying to connect with you, it’s all for the sake of your parents.”
She repeated the question again.
“So, why should I suck up to you?”
Tabitha opened her mouth, but couldn’t find the words to say.
After a while, he got angry and said, “Who knows what you’re thinking?! Maybe you just want to bribe me!”
After saying that, she angrily turned around and went inside.
Paulette hesitated for a moment, then lifted her heels.
Tabitha’s territory, unlike a regular girl’s room, was like a quirky anime exhibition. Two rows of tall display cases were filled with all kinds of figurines, with the largest ones individually covered by glass domes, looking extremely powerful.
She was lying on the sofa without any image, holding a book and reading.

“If you have gas, let it out. If you don’t, then get lost.”
It sounds like he calmed down.
Paulette sat down on the empty couch next to me and casually asked, “Are you planning to transfer to a school in your home country?”
Tabitha moved the book covering her face and gave her a glance.
“Hmph.”
“Did that guy still bother you that day?”
Pap-
Tabitha had the book flipped on her lap, giving Paulette a nasty look. “Are you annoying or what? Acting like you’re my sister? Let me tell you, if I had a gullible sister like you, I’d hide my face every time I went out!”
Paulette blinked, as if she was really thinking about it.
She said, “Yeah, just like how I’m reading your mood right now.”
In other words, with a sister like her, Paulette felt pretty embarrassed.
In the end, despite her young age and lack of experience, Tabitha realized and blushed, saying angrily, “Get out! I have nothing to say to you!”
Paulette shrugged, “I didn’t have it either, I was just following my aunt’s
instructions.”
It’s about time, let’s go downstairs to eat.
She was just about to get up when her eyes casually swept over the twisted book on Tabitha’s lap… The cover was bold and revealing, with tangled, ambiguous images of men and women, quite stimulating.

Paulette was prepared to deal with Tabitha, but she was still taken aback by what she saw in her eyes.
“You, actually read that kind of book?”
Tabitha looked at her, then looked down.
Like she found some really interesting bug, she excitedly sat up, moved her legs forward and knelt on the sofa, holding the book, “What, are you interested?”
Paulette:
“I heard you have a boyfriend, how about I borrow you for some
studying?”
Paulette:
Tabitha’s eyes lit up as she watched Paulette’s face turn red. She
exclaimed, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s just human nature!”
Paulette pretended to be calm, “It’s human nature, but in our country, it’s forbidden.”
Tabitha flipped through the contents inside.
“So this is the foreign language version, you should be able to understand it, right?”
“Paulette took a deep breath, decided not to argue with her anymore, ‘If you like, take your time. I’m going downstairs first.”
She had just left, and Tabitha followed right behind, occasionally glancing at her with that excited look, as if she had found a new toy.
Reuben and Sophia were all smiles, thinking they were really doing well.
“Tabby, since you get along with Paula, you should keep in touch more oflow
Don’t hang out with those shady friends of yours anymore.”
If it were in the past, this would definitely have brought a lot of sarcasm and ridicule.
But not today.
Tabitha went against her usual self and casually replied, “Sure, I just love Paula, I’ll definitely learn from her.”
The four words mutual learning were emphasized on her lips.
Paulette felt her scalp tingling, she just wanted to finish eating and go.
home.
Sophia and Reuben were there, and the meal went smoothly. It felt like a warm family gathering.
After dinner, Paulette offered to help clean up the kitchen, but Sophia. pushed her out, “No need for you young people to help, go chat with your uncle, he has something to tell you.”
Looking at the gleam in her eyes, Paulette vaguely felt that Reuben would bring up the inheritance tonight.
In the living room, Tabitha was playing games intensely, occasionally swearing, with her legs high up on the back of the sofa chair.
