Chapter 338

No sooner had Calista’s words fallen than the Brooks family felt a sudden chill descend upon them.

Vivienne’s calm aura collapsed like a fallen soldier and an oppressive

darkness cloaked her

Carl Kala, and Ashley felt an involuntary shiver run down their spines.

They turned to look at Judith unable to comprehend why Calista had been appointed as Thaddeus tutor

They had been away from home for the last couple of days and had only returned late last night, so

they were ignorant of Thaddeus new academic arrangement.

Upon hearing this, they were taken aback

The tension between Calista and Vivienne was palpable to anyone who saw them

Why would the old lady add fuel to the fire by asking her to tutor Thaddeus?

Vivienne cast a cold glance at Calista, then turned her icy gaze to Judith “Since when have I agreed to

let her tutor Thaddeus?

Judith was taken aback by Vivienne’s question. She stammered. Vivienne, didn’t you ask me to find a

tutor for Thaddeus?”

1 might have but did I specify Calista? Vivienne returned her question with an impassive expression

“Vivienne” Calista’s patience seemed to snap “What do you mean by that? I kindly offered to tutor your

brother, and not only do you not appreciate it, but you. Iso treat m

with such disdain isn’t that a bit too much?”

Vivienne turned her piercing gaze toward Calista Her eyes were gleaming like a wolf in the darkness,

instilling a fear that made Calista involuntarily shut her mouth

Realizing that Vivienne was genuinely angry Judith hurriedly tried to explain, Vivienne, when I asked

Before Vivienne could respond. Judith continued, “If you don’t approve of Ms. Pendleton, I will ensure

She always thought that the friction between Vivienne and Calista was just a minor issue

She never expected Vivienne to react so explosively

Her glare was murderous. It was utterly terrifying

She had never seen Vivienne like this before

After a long silence Vivienne turned to Thaddeus and softly asked, “Thaddeus, tell me, has she

mistreated you?”

Thaddeus timidly raised his head while his gaze avoided Calista. He responded in a tremulous voice.

“She she’s nice

He could not tell the truth in reality Calista often resorted to corporal punishment

Instead of imparting knowledge, she kept bombarding him with questions

If he failed to answer correctly, various forms of punishment awaited him

Vivienne sensing that Thaddeus was hiding something, gently reassured him “Don’t be scared,

Thaddeus Tell me if she has mistreated you. I

is Vivienne questioning my ability? Calista interrupted Thaddeus. “Judith entrusted Thaddeus to me,

and I am committed to tutoring him well. My knowledge is more than sufficient to tutor a child”

Vienne looked at her coldly causing Calista to feel an inexplicable fear that rendered her speechless.

Vivienne turned back to Thaddeus Thaddeus. I want to hear from you”

† † Confused and overwhelmed. Thaddeus looked around as his worse dwindled to a whisper

What is this supposed to mean? Are you doubting Calista’s ability? Belom Thaddeus could respond

Mila, a guest who had come for a visit, spoke up happy with the situation

“Vixenne, tutoring a child isn’t easy. It may seem simple but it’s quite challenging”

Mita crossed her arms defiantly. “Only Calista is capable of handling it I doubt anyone else would be

able to ‘

Vivienne glared at her then turned her gaze back to Thaddeus

The poor boy was clearly distressed and was too intimidated to speak the truth, given the number of

people present.

She leaned back in her chair observing

Disgusting!

Carl even wondered aloud. “Can the really be a good influence on Thaddeus? I hope she won’t lead

him astray‘

Ashley however remained silent. She had a good impression of Calista and didn’t want to interfere

After seeing Vivienne pick on her daughter, Mila couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up for Calista

“What’s the big deal about being good at elementary school math problems? Does that really prove

anything

The ridicule made Calistas face turn bright red. She had never been subjected to such humiliation it

seemed the only place she had to endure such nonsense was when she was around the Brooks family

Mila immediately took out her phone and found a set of questions from the latest international math

competition. I dare you to compete with Calista Who do you think. will answer more questions

correctly?”

Hah Vivienne smirked “Sure!”

She was good at putting people in their place. After this, she’d get to the bottom of why Thaddeus was

scared

One person at a time. No one was getting away

Everyone gathered in the living room and printed out the competition questions

“Granny who do you think will win? Kala asked Judith while enjoying the drama

Despite not answering deep down Judith felt Vivienne might have the upper hand.

Mila on the other hand, watched Calista answer the questions with full confidence

Calista had done this set of questions before She got 92 questions right out of 100 Now that she was

doing it for the second time, she was even quicker and more accurate Even if she didn’t score a perfect

score, it would still be a very high one

No matter how smart Vivienne was, she was no match for her daughter

However, just as Mila was feeling smug Vivienne finished in less than fifteen minutes

Mita was taken aback “What did you say?”
