Although she could not expose her grandaunt’s identity to avoid being noticed, Cherry was not one to
be bullied. She retorted, “Grandma, I thought your son was NTT’S boss. So he’s also working for
someone else!”
They’re all working for others, so why is she looking down on them?
The old lady was instantly furious. “What do you know? There’s a difference between working for
someone else and working part-time! NTT is the hottest company in Switzerland in recent years.
Everyone working at high positions there can get a million-dollar annual salary! Your father worked
hard every month, but does he have ten thousand dollars? The rent here isn’t cheap. In my opinion,
you should live on the streets! How many months can you bear the rent here? You’re preventing others
from renting a house here. You’re a dog in the manger!”
Cherry was about to say something when a plump middle-aged woman jogged over. When she heard
the old lady’s voice, she immediately placed her hands on her hips and scolded, “Hey, what’s wrong
with you? You promised to live together peacefully in my house. How can you bully the new tenant?”
When Mrs. Long saw the fat woman, she pursed her lips. “Landlady, you have to understand. Who
bullied them? Don’t make irresponsible remarks. I’m just telling them the rules of living here. Besides,
who knows where this woman came from? Everyone who lives here has a clean background!”
The plump landlady retorted angrily, “She’s renting my house. What rules are you talking about? If you
don’t want to stay, then fine. Can’t you just leave? Many people are queuing up to rent my house!
Besides, this isn’t some random person. She’s a foreign student from Staav University!!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop talking about it, okay?!” After Mrs. Long said this, she looked at Nora again before
turning around. Even though she was far away, she was still nagging softly. “Doesn’t she just have a
few stinky houses? What’s she showing off for? My son works in NTT! He’ll be able to afford such a
house sooner or later!”
After Mrs. Long walked away cursing, the landlady finally looked at Nora. “Miss Smith, right? Come,
there are a few things to take note of in the house. I’ll show you.”
With that, she opened the door but did not enter first. Instead, she waited respectfully at the door.
After Nora brought the three children in, the landlady closed the door and walked in. The next moment,
the arrogance on her face disappeared and was replaced with kindness. “Miss Smith, you’re back! Oh,
let me see Cherry. Has she gained weight?”
Cherry also smiled and said, “Cindy!”
Cindy was the friend Nora had made when she was overseas. Back then, she was homeless with her
husband. It was Nora who took her in and asked her to stay here to collect the rent.
That’s right. This row of houses belonged to her. When she had bought and rented them out back then,
the price was not high. It was just to give those Americans who came to Switzerland a resting place.
It was just that… Cherry said, “Cindy, why did such a bad old madam rent Mommy’s house?”
Cindy smiled bitterly and said, “That old lady sounded too pitiful back then, so I let her rent the house.
Her son is earning money now and she wants to bring her sister over to live with her, so she asked me
to rent her this house you’re staying in. However, Miss Nora asked me to keep it for her, so I didn’t rent
it. I said that someone has already booked the house. She didn’t dare to offend me, so she took her
anger out on you.” Cherry was stunned. “Why does she have to rent this house?”
Cindy said, “Who doesn’t want to rent our place? It’s cheap and the house is good. Miss Nora has no
intention of earning money from this rent, so many people want to stay here now! Besides, she got her
sister to rent a house nearby. Don’t worry, their contract will expire next month. When the time comes, I
won’t rent it to them again no matter what. A person with such a character doesn’t have the right to
receive Miss Nora’s care! Besides, isn’t her son rich? Go out and rent an expensive house! She only
knows how to take advantage of others!”
With that, she put down Cherry and looked at Pete. “This is Pete, right? I heard from Miss Nora that
she finally found you. I haven’t seen you before! Your small body is stronger than Cherry’s!”
Cindy patted Pete heavily before turning to Xander with a grin. “This little kid must be Xander. Am I
right?”
Xander: “…”
He was now as smart as a 14-year-old. He felt so childish when she spoke to him in such a coaxing
tone.
The corners of his mouth twitched. He grabbed Cherry and Pete. “Let’s go upstairs and take a look!”
“Okie-Dokie!”
Cherry and Pete did not plan to go to school. These three months would be considered a vacation!
The three children went upstairs inseparable. Only Nora and Cindy were left downstairs.
Cindy said, “Miss Nora, go to Staav University tomorrow without any worry. I’ll help take care of the
three children!”
Nora nodded.
She then gave Cindy some instructions regarding Cherry, Pete, and Xander’s hobbies as well as their
favorite foods.
The next day, at the entrance of Staav University.
Nora took out her student ID. After handing them to the guard, she entered the school.
She came here as an exchange student from the New York University School of Medicine. Every
December, there would be exchange students coming to study.
As a professor at New York University School of Medicine, creating a fake identity and getting a place
was a piece of cake.
She needed to report first and then take the opportunity to go to the library to look for files.
After entering the university, Nora was attracted by everything in front of her.
Staav University was indeed one of the top international universities. The environment inside was
especially beautiful. As she was admiring it, a voice suddenly came from behind. “Oh my god! Kelvin
really came to our university for a shoot!”
