She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 294: Tanner Is a Lieutenant

Tanner, dressed in a black suit, stood with his hands behind his back at the top of the stairs, watching the three people in the hall with an expressionless face. His gaze was as vigilant as if he were guarding against intruders.

Nora, feeling irritated, bit her lip and glanced towards the direction of the second floor. Her voice carried a sour tone as she spoke, “Dad, I told you we shouldn’t have come. Cheyenne doesn’t care about you at all.”

From the moment they entered, no greetings or even a glass of water had been offered. George was already feeling slighted, but Nora’s direct accusation only added to his frustration.

“Enough! Do you need to remind me?” George replied with irritation. “You have the time to say all this here. Instead of criticizing Cheyenne, why don’t you learn how to deal with wealthy people? Other than a good reputation, you haven’t brought any substantial benefits. I even spent quite a lot of money in cultivating you.”

Nora, listening to her father’s “criticism,” felt a strong desire to prove herself. Someday, she would make Cheyenne kneel at her feet and become her subordinate. She wanted her father to know that the Lawrence family still needed her to uphold their status.

“Isn’t it just about making connections? If a woman is bold enough, there’s nothing she can’t achieve. And my body is my biggest asset.”

Tanner remained composed, and with a look of disdain, he addressed the three of them sternly. “Miss Lawrence ordered that certain individuals have sticky fingers. Even when they’re having tea in the living room, I have to watch over the teacups.
