Chapter 354

As soon as Aileen and Adrian entered the classroom, they received a warm welcome from their

classmates.

Normally, Silas would come over to play with them. But this time, he just sat alone in his seat and

sulked.

It was Aileen who took the initiative to walk up to him. She smiled sweetly and said, “Silas, come play

with us.”

She enthusiastically held his hand. But much to her surprise, he dodged it.

Then he said, “Aileen… If I found something, and it’s related to my best friend, should I hide it from my

friend?”

Silas had been struggling for a long time. But he still couldn’t help asking.

At this time, Adrian also walked up to Silas. And he was alerted when he heard Silas’ words.

“Does what you said have something to do with our mommy?”

Silas nodded with difficulty. And what he said next was like a bomb.

“Actually, my uncle is most likely your mother’s boss.”

What?

That bad boss bullying our mommy is Silas’ uncle?

Adrian thought inwardly. His mouth opened wide in astonishment.

Aileen, on the other hand, blinked her big eyes and said in surprise, “So, the big house we are living in

is your uncle’s?”

Silas smiled bitterly. “Maybe… Yes.”

Actually, from the time he told them about this, Silas had already psyched himself up that Adrian and

Aileen would break off relations with him. But he still couldn’t help feeling sad.

“Then your uncle is really a good man. Adrian and I like that big house so much!”

Aileen’s smile didn’t have any trace of qualms.

So suddenly, Silas had some expectations in his heart. “Then… Would you still like to play with me?”

“Of course!” Aileen said affirmatively, nudging Adrian.

“Yes, of course. You are our friend, not your uncle.”

Although Adrian was a little angry that Silas was hiding such an important matter from them, he didn’t

intend to cut off his friendship with Silas.

“Silas, I often heard my mommy said that her job was very tiring. Is your uncle the bad boss who

oppresses his employees like what we watched on TV?” Adrian asked.

What if Silas’ uncle bullies our mommy? He also wondered.

Thinking of this made him worried.

Now that there was no risk of breaking off relations with his friends, Silas was relaxed.

He thought for a while and said, “I think your mommy is so good. My uncle… I don’t think he will bully

her.”

The three kids gathered together to discuss, and this scene was seen by Eliana. She had been hiding

outside the door.

Just now, she saw that Silas looked strained. She was afraid that there would be a gap between Silas

and her kids, so she came over to have a look. But now, it looked like they were back on good terms.

Eliana turned around and left, feeling relieved.

She was walking to the gate when she ran into Ivy, who had just come to school.

A well-dressed and arrogant old woman was holding her hand.

At the sight of the old woman, the memories of the past came to Eliana’s mind in an instant.

She was Marina Harrison, Asher’s mother, and Ivy’s grandmother.

Eliana remembered that when the Pierce family was not yet bankrupt, she still had a good relationship

with Marina and even treated the latter as her prospective mother-in-law.

However, not long after the Pierce family went bankrupt, Marina changed. She picked on Eliana and

often made things difficult for her, mocking Eliana for not being worthy of her precious son, who was

“perfect” in every aspect.

Now that things had changed, Eliana had mixed feelings when she saw Marina again.

In a word, she was a little uncomfortable.

“Grandma, look! It’s Miss Pierce,” Ivy exclaimed.

Seeing Eliana, she immediately raised her hand and greeted Eliana excitedly.

Her clear voice interrupted Eliana’s reminiscing.

“Hello, Ivy. You’re back,” Eliana said.

“Yes.”

Ivy blushed. Since all her friends were in this kindergarten, she was so happy to be back to school now.

Eliana smiled knowingly. She wanted to stroke Ivy’s head.

But a sharp voice suddenly rang out in her ears.

“Ivy, don’t talk to this troublemaker.”

Marina frowned and pulled Ivy to her side as if Eliana had some contagious disease.

Troublemaker?

Eliana was stunned. Was Marina referring to her?
