Chapter 26 Ha . My family , huh ? +25 BONUS Timothy used to visit Jonathan at our house all the time when we were younger , and he would even stay over during summer breaks . Mom and Dad treated Timothy like an honored guest . They always gave him the best food , drinks , and entertainment . Yet now , he wanted my family to pay the price because his daughter had been mocked for wetting her pants and being ostracized for having a bad temper . I couldn't believe that he had said something like that . I clenched my fists , my voice shaking with anger as I said , " If I were you , I'd ask myself if I have spoiled my kid into being incompetent . If you want her to be a princess , don't bother sending her to kindergarten . No one out there will coddle her ! " I was already exhausted from working late . I just wanted to go to sleep after showering . But that night , I couldn't sleep again . I logged into the backend of the novel website and continued updating my story in the wee hours of the night . It was just something I was writing for myself , but surprisingly , a few readers were already asking for more . The following day , when I got to the office , Christine said something decent for once . " I read the draft you sent me last night . Not bad , " she said , half - smiling . " I didn't expect you to still be capable of that . I suppose you haven't let your training go to waste over the years . " I smiled faintly . " Thanks for the compliment . " I thought she would back off if she couldn't find fault with me , leaving me to work in peace . But in the evening , just before work let out for the day , she approached my desk . " Do me a favor and help me pick up a friend . " I frowned . " Is this work - related ? If it's not , pick up your friend yourself . " I grabbed my bag to leave , but she stopped me . She said , " I'd go myself , but I need to attend a dinner with a client tonight . " I still didn't want to go and brushed her off . " Call your friend an Uber or something . " Christine's tone turned serious . " She's someone high - profile and can't be around strangers . I'm trusting you with this , Josie . If you don't want to , you can take my place at the client dinner , and I'll go pick her up . " I had never been good at networking , and she had the right to decide whether I passed my probation . Ultimately , I gave in . Before I left , Christine gave me a phone number and asked for my license plate number to be given to her friend . Just like that , I headed to a scenic spot in Seavale after work . When I arrived , the entrance was packed with people . I wondered if some big shot was inside . Before I could process this , someone opened my car door , and two people got in , escorted by bodyguards . " This is the car , Mr. Grant , Ms. Beech . " The bodyguards confirmed my license plate , verifying that I was there to pick the two people up . I never would've imagined that Christine's so - called friend would be Yasmin and Timothy . Which one of them was her friend ? Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Ha .

She shouldn't have had connections to this circle . Yasmin and Timothy were just as stunned to see me . Outside the car , a mob of Yasmin's rabid fans banged on the doors like they wanted to eat us up . Timothy frowned and asked , " What are you doing here ? " I said flatly , " That's what I'd like to know . If I'd known it was you two , I wouldn't have come . If you don't want to ride in my car , Mr. Grant , feel free to get out with her now . "
