Chapter 60: Tina Must Be Fired

At Moon Gate Estate.

After school, Amber returned home and went straight to her room, not even eating dinner. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat; she just had no appetite. Every time she thought of how Tina had become the lead teacher of class 22D through nepotism, her heart felt blocked. What made that unsophisticated girl qualified to be a teacher? With her own talents, Amber could easily take on that role. But that wasn't what she wanted. She aspired to get into Kongham University on her own merits and climb to the very top of society.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, followed by the nanny's voice from outside, "Miss Amber, Mrs. Woodham is here."

The title 'Miss Amber' grated on her nerves. Before Tina's return, she was 'Miss Reed.' Now, even though Tina didn't live in Moon Gate Estate, everyone referred to her as 'Miss Amber,' as if to remind her of her adopted status.

Amber collected her thoughts, stood up, opened the door, and went downstairs. The person sitting in the living room took her by surprise. It was Beatrice! Having married into the Woodham family, she was known outside as Mrs. Woodham. Last time at the Ivy banquet, Beatrice had asked for Amber's help with her daughter's illness, but she hadn't returned since. Amber thought that word of the banquet mishap had spread, and Beatrice had changed her mind about letting Tina treat her daughter.

Mentioning the banquet made Amber's blood boil with resentment towards Tina. Since Talon's affair with the nanny had been exposed, Ivy had insisted on a divorce. But Talon wouldn't agree, causing a prolonged dispute between the two families. Elizabeth, of course, looked down on the nanny and had dismissed her immediately. However, Talon, unchanging in his ways, insisted on keeping the nanny and refused to divorce Ivy, which was infuriating.

Even worse, Talon had vented his anger on Amber, blaming her for not handling things properly and leading him into a trap.

"Miss Reed!"

Upon seeing Amber descend the stairs, Beatrice quickly stood up, her face filled with apologies. "I'm sorry about last time, saying I'd bring my daughter to you. She's been quite traumatized by the car accident and refuses to leave the house." Beatrice's face showed helplessness. "I came today to ask if you could possibly visit my home to check on my daughter's condition."

Amber was puzzled. Hadn't the news of Sophia's recovery by Tina's hands spread?

"Don't worry, I won't expect you to treat my daughter for free. I will pay for your services."
