Revenge After rebirth novel Chapter 17

After wiping away the blood stains on his face, Mayra threw the tissues into the bin. However, there were still some remnants on his hair that needed to be cleaned with a wet towel.

Anderson crossed his legs and looked at her. "I have to head to Candor City for a business trip. Why?"

Mayra's eyes instantly widened and she quickly shook her hand. "It's nothing. I was just asking."

It was a good thing he was busy. To be honest, Mayra didn't want him to attend the parent-teacher meeting.

His identity attracted too much attention. Mayra didn't want people to know that her non-biological brother was actually the president of the Everton Corporation. She just wanted to peacefully finish high school.

However, her actions completely gave her away. Anderson understood her well. Mayra was all grown up now and it was normal for her to have secrets.

He reached out and gently patted her head. "It'll be morning soon. You should go to bed."

Mayra nodded and got up from the couch. "Andy, I'm heading to bed now. You should get some rest too."

Noticing the snacks on the floor, Anderson asked with a cold voice, "Who were you out with?"

Mayra randomly came up with a lie. "Isn't it the weekend tomorrow? I didn't feel like cooking so I just grabbed some snacks to munch on. We have a mock exam next week so I have to focus on my studies."

She quickly picked up the snacks on the ground and hurried back to her room, not giving Anderson another chance to notice anything unusual.

From the beginning, Anderson had been opposed to her being friends with Gordan. But Gordan was actually really kind, so she couldn't seem to figure out why Anderson hated him so much.
