"Madam Mary, get some supplements and… send them to her," Sonia said, her eyes flashing.
She knew that Mary would understand whom she was referring to.
Glancing at the phone that Sonia had left on her covers, Mary immediately caught on and gave her a smile. "All right, I'll get to it soon."
"Okay." Sonia nodded with a smile as well.
After Mary headed into the room again, Sonia picked up her book and continued to read.
Originally, she was planning to take her exam during the second half of the year, but her plans were forcibly changed when she unexpectedly got pregnant. Besides, the exam just so happened to be held when she would be around eight to nine months pregnant, and it would most likely be impossible for her to take the exam with a large belly. More importantly, she was pregnant with twins, and there was a high possibility that she would have premature labor. There was a chance that by the time of the exam, she would've already given birth and would be in the middle of postpartum recovery.
In any case, she was not concerned about the exam anymore. If she hadn't given birth at the time and she was in a good condition, she would take the exam. But if she was going through postpartum recovery or wasn't fit enough to walk, she would sit it out. Either way, regardless of whether she took the exam or not, she intended to continue to read up on the required syllabus so that she wouldn't fall behind. After all, she still needed the knowledge for the next exam.
Toby was not around today as he had gone to the company, or he would've been the one teaching her.
…
Meanwhile, a large slap sounded in a dingy room as Connor struck Tina across the face, sending her collapsing to the ground.
Stupefied by the impact, Tina remained sprawled and didn't react, only staring at the carpet with a blank gaze and a crooked face.
She had just gotten work done on her face and hadn't fully recovered as it would take at least a year or two to completely heal from a full facial surgery, and the slap instantly caused half of her face to fall out of place and burn with pain.
This pain finally brought her back to her senses, and she sat up, looking at Connor's twisted expression with a look of horror. "W-Why did you hit me?"
She had crossed the line recently, resulting in his displeasure and causing him to give her a slap that knocked her out of her senses as soon as he walked in.
"Why, you ask?" Connor clenched the dragon head on his walking stick. "Didn't I tell you to stay put for now? The cops are all over the place outside, so I told you to stop causing trouble and see how things go, but you went and kicked up a huge fuss at the Gray Residence. Now they've called the police, and there are even more cops keeping an eye on us now."
Indeed, his initial goal was for Tina to cause more trouble, best if she could turn Seafield upside down. However, before she could unleash her full power, they landed themselves under the police's surveillance.
He knew that Toby must've been behind this, so he instantly instructed Tina to behave so that he could come up with a plan to leave Seafield. His instinct told him that if he didn't leave any sooner, he would never make it.
However, Seafield was Toby's territory, and he was also being monitored, so it was no simple task to leave this place at all. Hence, he had been racking his brains recently for a solution, but this woman unexpectedly left to cause trouble at the Gray Residence, causing the number of people monitoring them to increase, making it even more difficult for him to leave. How could he not be furious?
"I… I don't know. I didn't think about that." Tina was genuinely afraid of him, and upon seeing his murderous expression, she couldn't help but tremble like a leaf.
"You didn't think about that?" Connor let out an angry laugh. "Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere for the time being? Did my words go in one ear and out the other?"
Upon saying that, he struck her with his walking stick.
Tina let out an anguished shriek. "I'm sorry! I promise I won't do it next time! I'll listen to everything you say! Please stop…"
"Next time?" Connor's eyes turned glacial at her words. "You ruined all my plans this time. And you want to have a next time?"
His question immediately rendered Tina speechless.
Connor's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked at her viciously. "You better stay in the house from now on. If you dare to run about again, I'll kill you before Toby does. Got it?"
