Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 276 Contract Signing

Hearing Mrs. Simpson's words, I couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. My mind raced as I tried to come up with an explanation that would make me seem less gullible.

"Judith..." I hesitated, trying to find the right words.

Ever since yesterday, Judith had insisted that I stop calling her Mrs. Simpson.

She waved her hand dismissively. "I know, I know. You young people are always willing to believe in all sorts of things. I completely understand."

Seeing that she had smoothly covered for me, I decided not to explain further. Instead, I just let out an awkward laugh and let the matter drop.

Judith turned to Zeke with a stern look. "Zeke, aren't you going to apologize? How could you trick someone like that?"

Zeke pouted, looking reluctant, but he still obediently muttered, "I'm sorry..."

I quickly waved my hands. "It's fine, really! Kids always have these wild imaginations. It was actually kind of fun."
