Rachel stood beside them with a pale face as if she didn’t need to be there.
She could see that she would be held accountable as well now that Meriel had been exposed.

She asked tentatively, “Mr. Fuller, I am the real champion, right? You have promised me just now. Will you go back on your word?”
Sebastian’s expression turned cold as he glanced at Rachel, causing Rachel to shiver in fright.
The others looked at each other and thought that Sebastian was going to drive Rachel away, but to their surprise, he said lightly, “I will keep my word. You two go with me.”
Laura was stunned to hear that.
Rachel leaped to her feet in excitement. “Thank you, Mr. Fuller!”
Tyler snorted and said, “Sebastian, didn’t you say you would only take one student? Besides, Laura should be the true champion. She was more capable than Rachel. And Laura came late because Rachel’s mother secretly set her up. Why did you keep Rachel?”
Rachel glared at him secretly and thought, ‘Damn, what’s Tyler talking about?
‘He’s nothing himself. How dare he criticize me?!‘
Sebastian looked gloomy and responded calmly, “I said I would take her in. Rachel is only in the internship now, and only
Rachel or Laura can stay ultimately. And Rachel may not know what her parents have done. We’ll take her along now
before we decide.”
“Humph!” Tyler rolled his eyes, hugged Lala, and said in a low voice, “Anyway, I support Laura. Laura can be a hacker, and she’s versatile. She’s unlike others who have to play dirty to win!”
Rachel looked at Tyler with a gloomy face.
Tyler smiled and said, “If you look at me again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Rachel turned her head and felt unreconciled, muttering to herself, ‘If it weren’t for Tyler who keeps fawning over Laura, she would not be qualified to stand next to Mr. Fuller! What a tasteless man!‘
Sebastian glanced at Rachel’s unconvinced expression and said coldly, “Well, that’s it. Let’s go now.”
Laura waved to Zayn and others, and Tyler carried her away.
Jasper was a little uneasy. “Hopefully, Laura will be alright. I am sure Rachel will do something to her again.”
Xander said calmly, “If so, Laura has to deal with it herself. This is all we can do.”
Everett beat the drumstick and said, “Don’t worry. Laura is smart. She can present proof that equalizes Rachel.”
Zayn looked at Laura’s back and said nothing.

Tyler got Laura in the sports car. “You can sing so well. Why didn’t you perform for me?”
Laura sighed earnestly. “Tyler, I’m not your disciple. Singing well is not something worth showing off.”
Rachel rolled her eyes in disapproval to hear that.

Tyler sat in the passenger seat and said comfortably, “Since you are Sebastian’s disciple, you are also my disciple. Your uncle Joshua is our disciple. It’s a fact even if you don’t admit it!”
Laura frowned and looked at him in frustration. “You are so clingy.”
Tyler was at a loss for words.
Sebastian smiled and drove them to an estate full of roses.
The air was filled with the fragrance of roses.
Laura looked around curiously.
She had seen a large area of roses before. This place reminded her of Joshua’s estate abroad.
It had been a while since Laura had seen him when he went mad.
Laura trailed Sebastian along the corridors, admiring each landscape painting. Some were pretty. Some were baffling.
Rachel pinched her chin and said, “This style… Is it from Joshy?”
Sebastian looked at her in surprise and said, “You know how to paint?”

With pride, Rachel lifted her head. “Yes, Mr. Fuller, I have always dreamed of becoming a painter. I like Joshy’s painting style. I could instantly identify Joshy’s brushwork and painting style because he alternates between being mysterious and delicate and gentle. But why are they all paintings by Joshy?”
Laura was confused by her words.
Sebastian replied lightly, “Zayn is my disciple. Every time he finishes painting, he will hang it on the wall and hold an
exhibition.”
Rachel was overjoyed and asked, “Is Joshy here?”
Sebastian answered, “He is here, but he can be crazy and has a bad temper. Remember to make a detour when you see
him.”
Rachel was speechless, thinking, ‘Going crazy?
‘Such a genius painter is a madman?‘
Laura had a sneaking suspicion. However, she didn’t second–guess herself and entered a study filled with drawing boards, dye, a piano, and other musical instruments arranged in an eye–catching, disorganized manner.
Sebastian glanced at the watch and said, “I’ve made an appointment to teach online. You can rest here for one hour. Don’t

touch anything here. The restroom is next door. There is some food here for you to enjoy. We’ll talk about it later when I
come back.”
Then he dragged Tyler away.
The study became deadly silent.
Laura sat on the couch, picked up a big strawberry on the table, and took a bite.
It tasted so sweet!
Sebastian took Tyler into the surveillance room where they examined the scene in the study.
Tyler was confused and asked, “You brought Rachel back for this?”
With his arms across his chest, Sebastian said with a serious look, “I want to give Rachel another chance. Let’s see if she is the same as her mother who would frame the others by all means to achieve her goal.”
In the footage, Rachel approached the drawing board and stared at the completed painting. “Joshy truly is a genius. In just three years, this unknown artist has developed into a master whose paintings are highly sought–after. I heard that he has stopped painting recently. I was surprised to see so many of his wonderful paintings here. Do you think someone like that has a good or bad temper?”
Laura was enjoying strawberries. “Mr. Fuller said he is crazy. Do you think he has a bad temper or not?”
Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked around.
There were no surveillance cameras.
Rachel thought, ‘This is a good chance to do something!‘
She turned around and looked at Laura with a meaningful smile. “If you say so, I wonder whether you still have a chance to stay after Joshy knows you ruined his painting.”
Laura had a bad feeling. She looked at Rachel with a strawberry in her hand and said, “No way! Are you trying to frame me again?”
Rachel didn’t say anything. She wrapped the brush with toilet paper and daubed on the rose with one stroke!
Laura was shocked,
Rachel put the pen directly in Laura’s hand and instantly said, “Laura, your fingerprint is on the brush. There is no surveillance camera here. You can’t clarify it this time!”
With a strawberry in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, Laura said, “Are you crazy? Would you please just sit here and eat strawberries? Do you know how sweet these Strawberries are?!”
Rachel ignored her, ran out of the study, and shouted in the corridor, “Mr. Fuller! Laura ruined Joshy’s painting! Mr. Fuller,
come!”
Tyler, who was watching the footage, looked at Sebastian sarcastically. “Mr. Fuller, is this part of your plan?”

Sebastian remained calm. “Stay up. Let’s see what she is going to do next.”
Before long, the butler Steve hurried through the corridor and knocked on a door, shouting, “Mr. Yale! A child smudged the work that you painted last night. Please come with me now!”
Soon, an abnormal noise in the room was heard, and irritable footsteps sounded from far to near before the door was
swung open!
Joshua’s red eyes met Steve’s with a faint hint of madness. He gritted his teeth and said, “Who the hell damaged my painting?!”
