The True Mistress Has A Thousand Hidden Identities-Chapter 72 - Never Ever Let Him Know

“What’s up?” Claire leaned against the wall lazily with her arms around her chest, her face indifferent as always.

Sheldon looked at her intently. “I heard that it was you who operated on Grandpa?”

Claire raised her eyebrows and didn’t deny it.

“Well… how did you do it? Why did you…” Sheldon suddenly became agitated, and even his voice rose a bit.

“Does it have anything to do with you?” Claire curled up her lips and smiled contemptuously.

The girl’s attitude was very cold. Sheldon opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he couldn’t make any sound.

After a long while, he lowered his head and said hesitantly, “Do you want to study medicine? I can…”

“Not interested.” Claire interrupted him coldly.

She straightened up, and passed by him ruthlessly.

Sheldon turned his head abruptly, and his gaze followed the girl’s lonely figure, which receded and gradually disappeared.

She had always been so rude, unapproachable, and arrogant.

If it were before, Sheldon would have been very angry and disgusted.

But now, he wasn’t angry at all.

What was wrong with him?

Sheldon patted his face, hoping to snap out of this haze.

Lance Middle School

When the school bell rang, Claire woke up and pulled her school bag from the drawer. She slung it on her shoulder, and walked out of the classroom slowly.

Her school bag was deflated because there was nothing in it.

There was a group of little girls outside the classroom, who only dared to look at her with admiring eyes, but didn’t dare to approach her.

She walked out of the school gate, only to see a crowd surging outside.

Someone nearby suddenly shouted. “Look! That’s Mr. Walker!”

Claire glanced sideways.

On the other side of the road, a luxury car was parked, and James was standing by the car. Opposite him was a well-dressed woman.

“Who is that woman?”

“Is it Mr. Walker’s girlfriend?”

“Impossible! Mr. Walker said he was single!”

“Mr. Walker must like mature women. We have no chance…”

Claire retracted her gaze lazily and jumped into a bus.

On the opposite side of the road, the woman said crossly, “James, why didn’t you contact me when you returned to China?”

James’s perpetually gentle face was cold at the moment, and his voice was icy too. “Is it necessary?”

The woman said eagerly, “I am your sister. You and I are the only ones left in the family. We just have each other!”

James’s eyes drooped behind the lenses and he said nothing.

Seeing his indifferent look, the woman sighed. “Do you still hate me for that? But I really love him. I am not coveting his money!”

James frowned. “You love him, so you can steal another woman’s husband and destroy her family?! Do you know that the child is now…”

“Did you see him?!” The woman suddenly became nervous. “Does he know about your relationship with me?!”

“No.”

“That’s good…” The woman was relieved but still a little worried. “Don’t let him know. That child… is not as innocent as you think.”

James didn’t speak anymore and turned away indifferently.

On the other side, Derek walked out of the classroom.

The monitor suddenly stood in front of him, saying with a look of fear. “Little… Little Overlord, have you seen Mr. Walker?”

Derek asked him coldly. “What’s the matter?”

The monitor raised the file bag in his hand. “I found this thing. Mr. Walker seems to have lost it.”

James?

Derek grabbed the file bag, narrowed his eyes, and smiled slyly. “I know where he is. I will help you give it to him.”

The boy’s sudden change of attitude stunned the monitor. “Huh? Well…”
