The taxi stopped at a fork in the road. The driver looked ahead, then behind, and said with confusion, "That’s strange. I clearly saw that car heading this way, so why is it gone?" At this moment, Lauren was sitting in the backseat, looking at the driver, her face grim: "Uncle, didn’t you say it was impossible to lose track?" The driver was caught off guard, yet his previous words lingered. He immediately added, "I did see it coming this way, but it vanished in an instant. I don’t know what’s going on." "But miss, I stand by my words. Since we lost track of the car, I won’t charge you!" "Don’t worry. Old Wang keeps his promises!" Old Wang? She’s more like Little Wang! Lauren was also frustrated. Earlier, she saw the car heading this way, but it disappeared in a flash. She too couldn’t understand what happened. "Could that car have discovered us?" The driver quickly said, "No way! I followed very carefully, alternating distances and lanes. It wouldn’t have noticed unless the person inside is really skilled, with a high level of alertness, like from the special forces." Lauren’s brow furrowed instantly, maybe the opponent was indeed a formidable character. After all, someone with an eight-figure Maybach, could they be ordinary? Lauren looked around, muttering to herself, "Where does this road lead...? " The driver heard and his expression shifted, saying, "The Green Hill Villas?" Lauren’s heart tightened immediately, she sat up straight: "Did you say Green Hill Villas?" "Yes, miss, don’t you know? This road leads to the Green Hill Villas, and haven’t you noticed the lack of cars behind us? This road has been widened." This road is a necessary path to the Green Hill Villas; to avoid traffic jams, it was widened. Besides, driving such an expensive car, where else would it be headed?" Lauren’s heart raced, an eight-figure car, long absence, madam, Ava... Lauren felt that Ava had hidden something very significant from her, something so big she dared not imagine. Ava Sterling was unaware that Lauren had silently begun following her. As she entered the company, she went straight to the training room. The models were already inside waiting, but compared to before, they were all quiet now. Even without anyone else in the room, they weren’t speaking. 
It was eerily quiet here, even with a hint of tension and fear. They feared Ava Sterling. That day, just standing for a few hours, someone fainted and Ava Sterling blew up. No one knew what would happen next. However, since they chose to stay, they were mentally prepared to face Ava Sterling’s wrath. Of course, some chose to leave.

At this moment, Simone Cole stood in the far corner, maintaining the posture Ava Sterling taught them, standing unwaveringly. Roxanne Sawyer watched her standing like that, so she followed suit. She was determined to never lose to Simone Cole! Seeing Roxanne and Simone standing there, everyone glanced at each other and followed suit, standing along. This time, because someone fainted, Supermodel Sterling blew up, even canceled the classes for a day. Because she was disappointed in them. Unable to endure the hardship, poor physical fitness, Supermodel Sterling didn’t want to teach them anymore. And as that person was sent to the hospital, Eric had people tell them, those who couldn’t endure the hardship should pack up and leave, the company won’t raise ancestors, only staff. So, they were given one day to consider, once decided they could leave. Only those two left, the rest stayed. They could endure hardship. But even so, there was still a sense of tension, nervousness, and fear within their hearts. Supermodel Sterling’s temper was legendary. Ava Sterling thought it would be the same as before when she arrived, with all the models sitting casually in the training room, talking and chatting. But what she saw was each one standing straight, orderly, and quietly, as if voluntarily in evening study class, with no noise or commotion. Ava raised an eyebrow, they were behaving. People, really, if you show them kindness, they may not regard it, only when you lose your temper do they know how to behave. And she, by nature, wasn’t inclined to show kindness. Ava stepped in wearing stiletto heels, the click-clack sound attracting everyone’s gaze, which quickly dropped as they dared not look further. Ava’s face was calm, neither showing good or bad emotions, yet it was clear she was not to be provoked. Ava placed her bag on a chair in the corner, stepped to the center to look at these models, finding two less. She immediately identified who was missing. However, she didn’t mind. In society, in this world, not everyone is pampered. She wouldn’t pander to anyone either. Looking at their tense and anxious faces, Ava said, "How long have you been standing?" Instantly, they looked at each other, completely unsure. Roxanne frowned slightly, carefully trying to recall, and in that moment, Simone said, "Two hours." Ava looked at her, Simone stood at the back, yet the steadiest, even with sweat on her forehead, she seemed unfazed. She nodded, "Not bad." Roxanne’s face darkened. It should have been her speaking, when was it Simone’s turn? Ava raised her hand to check her watch, then said, "Stand for another hour." Everyone thought Ava would start the training upon arrival, but unexpectedly, it was to continue standing. Their faces instantly showed pain. Only Simone and Roxanne did not. Ava saw their expressions and said nothing, joining them in standing. With stiletto heels, she stood straight, her face devoid of fatigue, as usual. Seeing Ava standing there too, and in heels, they straightened even more, not daring to relax. Time passed silently, an hour ended, Ava began teaching how to walk, how to move hands, how to step, explaining in great detail, very sincerely. Everyone listened attentively, completely forgetting their fatigue. As Ava personally guided each one, correcting their posture and movements individually. The afternoon passed quickly, concluding the class. Ava said, "That’s all for today." Everyone was stunned. But Ava didn’t bother with them, after speaking, grabbed her bag and left. Her work time was work time, and rest was rest, very distinct. However, just as Ava walked out of the training room, a voice called to her.
