Chapter 818: Just Like Pretending_1

“No matter what they do that bothers you. Whether it’s their words or their looks that annoy you, feel free to push back. Don’t be scared of them!” said Victoria Wheeler.

Victoria had no fear of Cindy Clarke causing trouble when she’s out.

Was Cindy the kind of person who stirs up trouble?

Cindy usually doesn’t pick fights with people.

Unless they proactively cause trouble for her.

Besides, it doesn’t seem Cindy has realized that she now has the means to stand up for herself.

Keep in mind that Cindy is no longer alone now.

She’s not a helpless little child anymore.

No matter how big the trouble is, the Zhekova Family can handle it.

Victoria felt it was important to make Cindy understand how much she’s changed.

And to get used to it.

“Look, just like that ‘poseur,’” said Victoria.

“Poseur?” Samson Zhekova didn’t understand and asked directly.

Anyway, he’s used to Victoria occasionally saying things that others can’t comprehend.

So, he had also developed this habit. If Victoria says something that he doesn’t quite get…

Then he shouldn’t bother puzzling over it.

Shouldn’t try to figure out how Victoria’s mind works.

It’s a maze normal people can’t fathom.

So, there’s no point in tormenting himself over frivolous matters.

Just asking Victoria directly will give him the answers.

So, Samson Zhekova just asked directly.

“It’s that Jenny something,” Victoria waved offhand, “I forgot her name, but she’s pretending to be better than she is, so phony.”

So, she just called her a ‘poseur’.

Samson Zhekova gave a thumbs up to Victoria: “Aunt, the name you gave her is spot on!”

“Of course.” Jenny Kirk laughed proudly.

Samson Zhekova is a good kid with a keen eye.

Way better than Ethan Zhekova.

Victoria continued, “You see, when we talk about her, she can only indirectly rebut our words. But when we completely shut her down, she clearly feels very aggrieved.”

“If it was someone else, she would have immediately started playing the blame game. But now, she doesn’t dare shift the blame onto us. Even if she feels wronged, she has to swallow it.”

“Why is it so? Isn’t it because she fears us?” Victoria Wheeler brashly told Cindy Clarke, “Let me tell you, people outside are afraid of us. So when you’re out there, don’t let yourself suffer.”

“You don’t have to consider them, worrying whether they would feel sad or worrying about their pride,” Victoria said, “In the end, all that matters is your happiness. If someone makes you unhappy, you make them suffer. Base your happiness on their suffering.”

“You’re a part of the Zhekova Family now, you really do need this freedom. Without it, where’s the fun? Then what’s the use of joining the Zhekova Family?”

Victoria Wheeler pursed her lips, “If we can’t even give you this kind of confidence, then we Zhekova Family will really be a disgrace.”

Cindy Clarke: “…”

She secretly glanced at Adrian Zhekova.

Mom’s words were too blunt.

The Old Madam then nodded in agreement, “Cindy, your mother is right, listen to her.”

“Be more arrogant outside in the future. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, just call them out on it! After all, even if you confront them, they can’t say anything about you,” said the Old Madam.

“If someone acts like a wronged little flower, let them act. You’re the wife of the Zhekova Family, what’s wrong with bullying people?”

“After all, your mother and Adrian never refrained from bullying people when they were out,” said the Old Madam.

“…” The Old Master made a face, “You’re acting as if you didn’t bully people when you were outside. You’ve just aged and don’t get out much anymore. When you were young, you were very fierce and often bullied people.”

“Don’t talk about me, you’re the same,” huffed the Old Madam.

Cindy didn’t know if the old couple was saying all of this just to comfort her, to make her believe or if it was really true.

But she remembered their words.

Cindy smiled and said, “Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, don’t worry.”

“I won’t deliberately cause trouble or bully people, but if someone else bullies me, I won’t tarnish the Zhekova Family’s honor.” Just like what Adrian Zhekova said to Morgan one time, as a family member, Morgan can’t be bullied outside.

If anyone dares to bully him, there’s no need to be polite.

With Adrian Zhekova around, he won’t let people bully him.

But similarly, if others don’t provoke him, he shouldn’t bully others for no reason outside. That would also tarnish the Zhekova Family’s honor.

The Old Madam held Cindy’s hand, patted it twice and said with a smile, “You’re too cautious.”

“Honestly, even if you did bully someone outside, it’s alright. Besides, I trust you. Anyone you would bully is definitely not a good person.”

Cindy couldn’t help but laugh.

She really appreciated the Old Madam’s trust in her.

But what if she got spoiled and started bullying good people, what then?

“You won’t get spoiled,” Adrian Zhekova whispered in her ear.

Such a good girl like Cindy, how could she possibly get spoiled?

No matter how much they pamper her, she won’t lose herself.

Since she was a little girl, Cindy had never been pampered.

Now, from the Old Madam to Adrian Zhekova, they all feel that they can’t pamper Cindy enough.

The Old Madam then continued, “Do you think Gabriel Zhekova is a good person outside? He’s frequently bullied people under the Zhekova flag outside.”

“It’s just that we’ve been watching him, so he doesn’t dare to go overboard. If we weren’t watching him, who knows what he would do.”

Then Aria Evans chimed in.

Aria Evans let out a scornful huff, “When he’s showing off outside, he’s stingy to mention the Zhekova Family flag and understand that my elder brother is the Family Head. But when he’s at home, he becomes defiant. Isn’t this the typical case of being a bully at home?”@@novelbin@@

Everyone: “…”

True, Aria Evans had a point.

Gabriel Zhekova truly is a typical home-bully.

While they were talking, finally Gabriel Zhekova and his family walked into the Main Hall.

Hearing the sound of the door, everyone stopped their conversation about Gabriel Zhekova.

Because they had just watched Gabriel Zhekova’s family on the monitor, so there weren’t any feelings of unfamiliarity when seeing them now.

When they hadn’t seen them before, there was some nervousness. However, after listening to what Aria Evans said about Gabriel Zhekova and watching them through the cameras for quite some time, Cindy found her nervousness had unknowingly dissipated.

Seeing Gabriel Zhekova again, Cindy felt calm without any specific thoughts.

From Aria Evans’ words, she already had an idea of Gabriel Zhekova’s worth.

As long as he doesn’t give up the struggle for the position of Family Head, he won’t truly be liked by the Old Madam and the Old Master and won’t be truly welcomed.
