Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 653 Lost All Hope

Chapter 653 Lost All Hope

Back at the dinner banquet...

Raelle thought this night couldn't get any more eventful but clearly, she was wrong. She just had to run into unnecessary people.

But someone else was more scared to run into Raelle here. The mayor's daughter, Le Xiaye was trying to hide from Raelle from the moment she saw her. She had been deeply traumatized by Raelle. Her arrogance had been squashed by her father. So, even though she still felt hateful towards Raelle, she didn't dare even come into her view.

After the last incident with Raelle, her father blocked her cards and even snatched her phone from her. She was even grounded for a month but it was thanks to her mother that the grounding period was reduced to only one week. However, her cards were still blocked, and even though she received her phone back, she wasn't allowed to make contact with any of her friends because according to her father, her friends were a bad influence on her.

She was so mad at her father because of how he talked about her friends but she was helpless!

She had to listen to her father's tyranny if she wanted to live as the pampered little princess of her family. This incident made it clear to her that she wasn't always at the top of her father's list of priorities. He still valued his career a lot more.

Raelle didn't even wanna see this person but she still ran into her.

Le Xiaye wanted to shout at Raelle but remembering her father's threats, she didn't dare to do so. No matter how unwilling she was, she obediently lowered her head around Raelle and said, "I'm sorry, President Raelle!"

From the time of Raelle's time on the trending list, she had finally learned about why her father was actually so scared of this woman. She was really not someone she could mess around with just because her father was a government official. And seeing her at this banquet, she was even more certain that she couldn't mess with her.

Raelle could hear the hint of sincerity in that apology that came out of nowhere. Not that it mattered to her but it seemed, the little princess' arrogance had taken a blow.

"Oh, what for?" asked Raelle.

"For being rude to you," answered Le Xiaye. "I hope you forgive me for my impudence. I was the one to insult you, so please, don't punish my father for my foolishness."

Raelle didn't mention how she wasn't even behind Mayor Le's predicaments these days. Because she was certain, it definitely had to do something with her. The real question was, who was pulling the strings from behind the scene? Was it her Yanyan or her dear husband? She'd like to believe, they both didn't have a hand in this since they already knew she didn't hold anything against the Mayor. But to say, she could extract herself from it all, it was hard to do so.

Le Xiaye's arrogance had really taken a blow these days when she noticed how tired her father looked every day. Even her mother had been losing her temper these days since she couldn't mingle with her good friends from high society. It was only from her mother that she learned that someone was making things difficult for her father. He wasn't being squeezed out of the office but it was obvious that someone wanted to work him to his bones!

Raelle only hummed in response. When she saw Le Xiaye not moving, she asked, "Why are you still standing here? Go away now!"

"So, you forgive me?" asked Le Xiaye.

"I wouldn't have even remembered who you were if I didn't see you here," replied Raelle honestly. Did she really think the place in her brain was rent-free? Why would she let such a small fry live in there? And she never intended to make things difficult for the Mayor as well.

No matter how much of a failure he was as a father in disciplining his daughter, it really wasn't his fault that his daughter didn't have a brain.

"Can't you talk nicely?" asked Le Xiaye.

"Who are you again?" asked Raelle. "And why am I supposed to waste my time talking nicely to you? In fact, I'm already being very nice!"

Le Xiaye didn't know how to continue this conversation. But she still figured out one thing, she seemed like a clown in Raelle's eyes and that's why she didn't even want to bother with her. If she hadn't come here to make her presence known, she wouldn't even remember her. That is to say, it meant that Raelle wasn't behind her father's troubles.

She felt so helpless knowing she couldn't do anything to help her father. She was just that useless. She lowered her head and walked away.

"Some people haven't lost all hope," commented Raelle.

"Are you talking about the Mayor's daughter?" asked Cloe.

"Yes," answered Raelle.

Cloe frowned at that, "And what makes you say that?"

"No matter how many screws she lacks in her brain, she is certainly a good daughter," said Raelle. "She is willing to bow her head for the interests of her father." Taking a pause, she added, "Help me find out who is causing unnecessary trouble and stop it as well. Even I never intended to deal with the Mayor, why are they being nosy?"

"I'll look into it," answered Cloe, mentally noting down that she had to figure out the details of this matter after the banquet.

"Raelle!"

Raelle turned to look at Mrs. Chen and put on her best smile once again, "Oh, Mrs. Chen."

"How are you feeling?" asked Mrs. Chen gently.

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Chen. But I'm fine," said Raelle.

Mrs. Chen looked relieved to hear that and added, "Then come with me. My husband is looking for you."

"Sure," Raelle tagged along with her and came to where Mr. Chen was talking to an old couple with a look of respect on his face. He looked really humble and like a kid while talking to that old couple.

"Raelle," called out Minister Chen. "Let me introduce you. Meet Elder Yue, he is my most respected elder and can even be considered my teacher."
