Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 897

"The famous Amelia Denning. She was the savior of the Filo family, a legend in both Faldorian nobility and business circles, and my personal nightmare. And I mean that literally, not in quotation marks. She was a real nightmare," Yennifer said with a slight

smile.

Since her return to Faldoria as Yennifer, it was rare to see her so serious. Normally, she was extravagant, flamboyant, and lived in a whirlwind of indulgence.

However, she began to recount her past. "A genius doesn't realize the gap between themselves and ordinary people. They assume everyone can keep up with their brain that works at the speed of a computer, and they think anyone who can't is useless. My mother was the same."

"She was born a business machine. I've never seen anyone like her. Whether it was her sharp business instincts, her exceptional ability to control a situation, or her decisive and masterful tactics, she was astonishingly brilliant.

"I even think that, in all of human civilization, there are very few businesspeople who could compare to her."

Yennifer shrugged. "So, naturally, she thought that I, who at 12 years old still couldn't memorize a business theory book thicker than the Orford Dictionary, was an idiot with an intellectual disability. I mean, come on, I was 12 years old! I couldn't even read all the words yet."

The guests chuckled in response. Some in the audience still remembered that legendary woman and nodded in agreement. She was indeed a formidable presence in the Faldorian business world.

Yennifer sighed. "I spent my childhood under her angry and disdainful gaze. Who could endure that?

"Well, I couldn't. So, at 18, on a rainy night, I packed my bags, took everything I owned, and ran away.

"I went to Capebatt City in Cedonia, enrolled in a university there, made friends at my level, and experienced a normal learning environment. That's when I realized that studying wasn't so scary. I woke up happy every day, and I even had the time and energy to fall in love. With a poor guy."

When she mentioned that man, Yennifer's eyes sparkled, outshining the crystal chandeliers above.
