"How could you let Sister Evelyn and the others leave like this?" Lila Carter accused the driver Zhang An first, with disappointment in her tone, "Sister Evelyn is still a patient. If something happens to her on the road, can you afford to take responsibility?"
Zhang An was stunned. This was different from what he had imagined! Wasn't Lila Carter the most gentle, kind and considerate person?
He did it all for her!
"I was waiting for you, Miss Carter..." Zhang An explained quickly, "and Evelyn Steele and the young master took the Yan family's car back home."
Lila Carter was still angry. She had to distance herself from the matter. "Why is it just for me? I told you before that I can go back by myself!"
The fierce tone and ferocious expression on his face scared Zhang An.
However, a few seconds later, she suddenly realized that the system did not indicate a decrease in favorability!
She turned her head and looked at Jason Bennett, her eyes misty, "Yu Huai, I..."
Jason Bennett, who was originally surrounded by low pressure and impending storm, now had an obscure expression, but Lila Carter keenly felt that he was not angry.
He is not angry!
"The Yan family..." Jason Bennett opened his thin lips and uttered these words, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
He looked up at Lila Carter and smiled vaguely and gently, "Okay, Lila, don't be angry, it's not your fault."
Seeing that the favorability value on the control panel had increased slightly instead of decreased, Lila Carter's heart completely fell back into her stomach.
It seems that Jason Bennett has been completely conquered by her. Does he really love her terribly?
For the first man who completely turned to her, she naturally didn't mind showing him more tenderness and care.
He reached out and hugged Jason Bennett's arm and shook it, "Yu Huai, thank you for your understanding. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to explain myself."
Jason Bennett's eyes flashed, and he pulled his arm out calmly, "It's not a big deal now. I'll go with you to the Xi family and explain it clearly."
——
Xi family.
After Evelyn Steele and Matthew Steele returned home, they had dinner and went straight back to their room to review.
The senior high school courses had been completed long ago by this time, and Matthew Steele's grasp of knowledge in various subjects was superficial. Evelyn Steele did not plan to help him sort out the knowledge points, as Ye Qing was doing that anyway. She just picked out some targeted questions for Matthew Steele to do first. After Matthew Steele finished, she explained them in a simple and easy-to-understand way, giving Matthew Steele a sudden enlightenment.
He found this way of speaking very easy to understand and grasp.
Evelyn Steele also asked him to compile a collection of wrong questions, so that it would be easier for him to fill in the gaps in his knowledge and ensure that he would not be confused when encountering similar questions next time.
It feels good to know that he is getting stronger little by little. Matthew Steele feels full of energy and will never feel scared or retreat when opening a book again.
The brother and sister were busy until very late. When it was almost eleven o'clock, Mr. Anderson came over with milk and urged them to rest quickly.
"Master Yu Huai came over tonight, but he just sat there and said something to you, sir." Mr. Anderson said, "By the way, Miss Carter said she wanted to apologize to you, but I stopped her."
Evelyn Steele didn't look surprised. Was Jason Bennett here as a lobbyist?
She asked Matthew Steele to take a shower and went downstairs to the study.
In the study, Richard Steele is sitting at his desk, his computer is on, and he seems to be busy. Lila Carter is massaging his shoulders, what a loving father and filial son scene.
When Evelyn Steele walked in, Lila Carter's smile faded a little, she let go of her hand and took a step back.
"Evelyn." Richard Steele's smile had not yet faded, and he was obviously in a good mood. "Why haven't you slept yet? You are still sick, so you shouldn't overwork. Remember to go to bed early."
Evelyn Steele sat down on the chair and said, "I want to tell you something. From now on, my brother and I will be picked up and dropped off by the Yan family's driver when we go to and from school. As for driver Zhang An, since I can't control him, I'll just let him..."
"He did something wrong today, and I've already punished him." Richard Steele quickly responded and looked at Evelyn Steele.
He felt that this was not a big deal. Zhang An was not an outsider. He was his sister-in-law's brother. They were related. He couldn't make a fuss over such a small matter and lose face as a relative.
The servant of the Yan family is really too nosy. He fires people at every turn. It's so disrespectful to people.
"In fact, he was worried about Lila because I told him to make sure Lila had a good car every day." He told him that because he was afraid that Matthew Steele would hang out with his friends after school and ignore Lila. Girls need extra care.
Evelyn Steele raised her eyes: "So, he can use chicken feathers as a token of authority?"
Richard Steele's face suddenly showed embarrassment.
Lila Carter bit her lower lip with her teeth, her face full of self-blame: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so busy with club activities that I forgot to check my phone..."
"You were not there and don't know the full story. Please shut up." Evelyn Steele's face was calm, but her tone was unquestionable. She didn't have time to investigate whether Lila Carter did it on purpose; but those who took the Xi family's salary but disobeyed orders must be held accountable.
She turned to look at Richard Steele, "So, Dad, what is your decision on Zhang An?"
Richard Steele was silent for a moment, avoiding Evelyn Steele's gaze. "I think your suggestion is very good. Let him pick up Lila from now on."
In fact, he was very unhappy that the Yan family sent someone to approach Evelyn Steele, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, and he was still angry.
The Yan family directly sent Evelyn Steele a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a car worth tens of millions. Even he didn't have such treatment. What reason did he have to not allow Evelyn Steele to ride in the Yan family's car?
I just accepted it with a pinch of my nose.
Zhang An has already promised him that he will learn to read people's expressions in the future. There will always be a time when the Yan family's driver is inconvenient, and Zhang An can take advantage of that opportunity.
Besides, Lila Carter will mediate.
He felt that Lila Carter was perfect and that Evelyn Steele would see Lila Carter's strengths sooner or later.
Evelyn Steele was not at all surprised by Richard Steele's approach and nodded: "Okay."
Lila Carter glanced at Evelyn Steele quickly, then quickly lowered her head, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
Evelyn Steele continued in the afternoon, "However, if that is the case, he did not provide any services to the Xi family. I am afraid that Driver Zhang's salary will have to be paid by you yourself."
Richard Steele had also heard Zhang An say this, and he didn't think it was a big problem: "Okay."
This is Evelyn Steele's purpose. Now that Richard Steele has admitted it, everything else will be easy.
"Then I have no objection. Good night, Dad." Before leaving, she even smiled at Richard Steele in a good mood.
That smile was gentle and bright, as bright as sunlight and as gentle as moonlight. Richard Steele almost lost his mind when he saw it.
Lila Carter's eyelids twitched for unknown reasons, and she felt uneasy in her heart. But before she could say anything, Evelyn Steele turned around and walked out.
