Chapter 718: Chapter 718: The First Wife’s Son

The woman speaking was one of the more favored illegitimate daughters of Bart Calvin. Her mother was a university professor, and as the Chinese would say, they came from an intellectual family. As a result, the girl’s academic performance was quite good. Because of this, she always held herself in high regard, looking down on others. Her name was Marian Calvin.

Marian had quite a temper. The servant she sent to fetch someone, after receiving Marian’s instructions, almost didn’t dare to delay a second and hurried towards the stables.

"Marian, what you’re doing is not right. If he really passes Dad’s test, then he’ll be employed as our teacher. How could a teacher be a servant? What you’re doing shows great disrespect to the teacher and to Dad’s decision as well." A black-haired girl turned her head, her expression having some oriental features, and said.

Her name was Nancy Calvin, Marian’s half-sister, sharing the same father but different mothers. Her mother was a Chinese exchange student.

Looking at Nancy’s face, Marian’s expression showed disdain, "Don’t try to use Dad to pressure me. You’re just trying to put on a show here because of a few drops of oriental blood in you. Who are you trying to impress? I’m not Dad; I won’t fall for your tricks." Marian rolled her eyes at Nancy and said.

Upstairs, the girls’ bickering continued, while downstairs, the twin brothers had already approached Xu Ke.

Fortunately, where Xu Ke was sitting was on the outermost edge of the crowd. The task of taming wild horses in the stables continued, and no one paid attention to this unremarkable spot. For this reason, the arrival of the two brothers didn’t cause any commotion.

"Is the food good?" the elder brother Job asked.

"Very fresh, thank you for the hospitality." Seeing the two brothers, Xu Ke guessed their identities and stood up from the comfortable chair he was sitting in, nodding at them as he spoke.
