The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 24: Encounter with Rosalie Jennings

Later, Miles Miller married Nancy Miller’s mother.

Between her mother and Nancy’s mother, it’s hard to say who was the third party, but the hateful one was Miles Miller.

So, you see, sometimes love is really quite cheap.

"Thank you for buying me lunch, senior."

After lunch, the two walked on the school’s playground, and Nancy Miller smiled gently.

Nancy Miller is 165 cm tall, actually much taller than Holly Sawyer.

Nancy has a tall and elegant figure, more of a cool and aloof type, while Holly is more on the cute side, and height has always been a slight disadvantage for her.

"You’re welcome."

Holly Sawyer shook her head.

"Senior, you weren’t a student at this school before, were you?"

Sitting across each other at the stone table in the pavilion, Nancy looked at Holly and asked.

Holly is very beautiful, with particularly attractive features, such a pretty girl should not go unnoticed.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Holly is even prettier than her, who was voted as the campus beauty.

"How could you tell?"

Holly propped her chin, looking at Nancy, blinking innocently.

"Because you’re very pretty."

Nancy looked at Holly, speaking earnestly.

Holly just smiled without responding, still quite confident in her own appearance.

"Senior, I have a fitness class to attend."

Nancy glanced at the time and slowly spoke.

For dance students, maintaining their figure is extremely important, so Nancy has a daily fitness class to keep her body in shape.

After they exchanged contact information, Nancy left, leaving Holly sitting there alone.

Nancy is a pretty nice girl, which can’t be denied.

"Holly, what are you doing here?"

Rosalie Jennings was a bit surprised to see Holly at Veridian.

She was also a graduate of Veridian and had come to visit her adviser, not expecting to bump into Holly.

Holly blinked and looked at Rosalie, retorting, "Am I not allowed to be here?"

Hmm, Rosalie didn’t like her, and it just so happened she didn’t like Rosalie either.

In Holly Sawyer’s eyes, anyone who schemed against Leo Grant was her enemy.

"Did Leo Grant get you in here?"

Though Veridian has a high threshold, with Leo’s ability, getting someone in wouldn’t be a problem.

"I could get in on my own without him."

Holly yawned, crossed her legs like a boss.

If she wanted, she had the ability to get in. However, by playing the role of someone with amnesia by Leo’s side, it was better to keep her true abilities hidden.

"Holly, what’s your agenda?"

Rosalie took a deep breath and, wearing an unfriendly expression, walked up to Holly in her high heels.

Holly appeared innocent as a rabbit around Leo Grant, but to Rosalie, she was a cunning fox.

"My agenda is to disrupt yours."

Holly shrugged, looking indifferent, with a provocative smile on her face.

Sean Grant’s plan against Leo could be figured out if Leo investigated, but Leo trusted his brother and never thought to look in that direction.

"Holly, does Leo Grant know this side of you?"

Rosalie frowned, looking at Holly with disdain.

Holly retorted, "Does it concern you?"

"I recorded it."

Suddenly, Rosalie smirked, waving her phone provocatively at Holly.

Though the words weren’t particularly important, they contrasted with how Holly usually behaved. If she let Leo listen to this, he would realize Holly was faking her innocence.

"Oh."

Holly appeared especially calm, lazily lifting her eyelids to gaze at Rosalie.

She casually brushed off non-existent dust, leisurely standing up, "Is your phone durable?"

She abruptly asked, staring intently at the phone in Rosalie’s hand.

Instinctively, Rosalie tucked her phone into her bag, holding it tightly as she turned to leave.

"No need to rush."

In a blink, Holly was already in front of Rosalie, smiling broadly at her.

Rosalie instinctively clutched her bag tighter, shocked as she hadn’t seen when Holly moved to her side.

The distance between them was about two meters—not far, but not too close either.

Clearly, Holly’s speed was truly remarkable.

"I just wanted to see if this phone is drop-proof."

Holly grinned, amused by how Rosalie clung to her bag. Suddenly, she took out a phone and asked earnestly.

Rosalie stared at the phone in Holly’s hand in surprise, opening her bag to find her phone missing.

When did Holly manage to take it?

A single thought crossed Rosalie’s mind. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

How did Holly get the phone when she clearly stuffed it into her bag?

"Holly, when did you take it?"

Rosalie looked at Holly, reaching to snatch back the phone.

Holly really...

She couldn’t believe it.

"In the instant I came over, I meant no harm, just wanted to see if the phone is drop-proof."

Holly said casually, weighing the phone in her hand.

Her speed was indeed fast, something she always knew, making obtaining the phone easy.

"Holly..."

As Rosalie exclaimed, the phone lightly fell onto the stone, its screen shattering instantly.

"Oh, so the phone isn’t drop-proof after all?"

Holly nodded, seemingly understanding.

Of course, Holly’s demeanor only appeared most infuriating to Rosalie.

Rosalie gritted her teeth, bent down to pick up the phone, reminding herself it could still work despite the shattered screen.

As Rosalie’s hand was about to touch the phone, a faster hand scooped it up.

"Holly!"

Fuming, Rosalie’s face turned green as she yelled in anger.

"Here, it’s yours."

Holly tapped a few keys on Rosalie’s phone, then handed it back to her, sounding nonchalant.

All traces were thoroughly erased.

Rosalie almost snatched the phone from Holly’s hand, eager to check the recording files the moment she got it.

But upon checking, the folder was empty; she tried numerous ways to retrieve the recordings, but to no avail.

Holly stood before Rosalie, hands in her pockets, smiling at her.

"What did you do to my phone?"

Rosalie asked.

"I deleted the stuff."

Holly shrugged indifferently, then leisurely turned to walk away.

Watching Holly’s receding figure, Rosalie clenched her fists tightly.

Holly is surely not an ordinary person.
