Chapter 225:

Nadia didn’t quite catch what Dora was saying; she only understood that something was being kept from her by both Dora and Bernard. Standing up, she approached the entryway and cast a glance at them. “What are you two whispering about? Come inside now.”

With gloomy faces, Dora and Bernard slipped into their slippers and walked into the house, immediately noticing Eileen sitting in the living room. After a brief hesitation, Dora suddenly remembered something and blurted out, “You’re not here to apply for the tutor position for my brother, are you?”

It was well known within the Myers family that Nadia was searching for a tutor for Brooks. “I’m just here to learn about Brooks’ situation,” Eileen responded vaguely.

Eileen’s answer made Nadia’s heart sink. She had hoped Eileen was there because she had decided to tutor Brooks. As Nadia moved to speak with Eileen, Dora stepped forward and addressed her first.

With her arms crossed, Dora said, “You’re here to tutor my brother and take our money? Alright, but you’ll have to give me something in return!”

“What is it that you want?” Eileen feigned ignorance.

“Stop pretending!” Dora snapped, fixing a harsh stare on Eileen. She couldn’t openly state her demands in front of Nadia.

Dora’s attitude was too much for Nadia, who intervened and tugged Dora aside by the arm. “What way is that to speak to Ms. Curtis? Have you forgotten all the manners I taught you?” Nadia scolded her.

Dora bit her lip, and when Nadia looked away, she shot Eileen a sharp look.

Nadia then approached Eileen with a warm smile, saying, “I’m sorry about that, Ms. Curtis. My daughter has been overly indulged by my husband since she was young. Have you two met before?”

“We’ve met a couple of times,” Eileen replied, rising and nodding slightly to Nadia. “My boyfriend is working on a project. He has been discussing it with Mr. Myers, hoping he will invest.”

“Really?” Nadia swiftly turned to Bernard. “Ms. Curtis’s boyfriend must be quite talented, and his project proposal must be promising. Have you decided to invest?”

Bernard was caught off guard. Dora finally pieced it together; it was her mother who wanted Eileen to tutor Brooks.

“Why are you just standing there in silence?” Nadia scolded. “Have you agreed to invest in the project or not? Answer me!”

Bernard, appearing less assured than usual, recoiled slightly and replied in a low tone, “Not yet, but… I’m planning to.”

Nadia grinned with satisfaction and turned back to Eileen. “You see, Ms. Curtis, our relationship is strengthening. So, about tutoring Brooks…”
