Chapter 968 Spencer’s Finals
Lyra?
Anthony nodded. “Don’t let anyone in the company know it. Mavis won’t leave me a chance.”
Zack said, “If I were her, I might have left long ago, and I wouldn’t wait until now.”
“What do you mean?”
Anthony looked up suddenly, staring at Zack.
Zack explained, “Mr. Callahan, although you’re not in the relationship with Jaqueline, no one believes that. Madam has been wronged too much because of this, and was even kicked out of the company. Obviously you didn’t want to drive her away, but why don’t you explain it?”
Anthony was silent for a long time upon hearing this.
Mavis flashed in his mind unconsciously.
“I thought she’d understand me.”
Zack shook his head. “Mr. Callahan, you are wrong. No matter what you have to explain, you’re the only one who knows what you’re thinking. No matter how well she knows you, it is impossible to guess completely right. Especially the state of your wife at that time. She is not sure whom you love.”
He finished what he thought and went out.
Anthony sat alone by his desk, thinking for a long time.

Here, Spencer’s final game was about to begin.
It was the finals.
Lyra took time off to attend with Spencer.
Molly, who went to the training camp, came back. Looking at her brother’s serious appearance, she clenched her fists and cheered him up. “Come on Spencer! Don’t be nervous. You’re the best.”
Hearing this, Spencer smiled at her and said, “Which eye of yours saw me getting nervous?”
Molly choked on him, and pouted. “Spencer, you’re so mean. I’m obviously cheering you on, but you’re pissing me off!”
“Thanks.”
Spencer whispered.
The voice was too low. Molly thought she had misheard, and her eyes widened. “Spencer, what did you just say? Say it again?”
“Forget it if you didn’t hear it.”
Spencer looked up rather arrogantly.
Molly couldn’t help giggling as she watched him.
“Mum, look at him. He’s too embarrassed to say thank you.”
Lyra got a headache from the parents next to her, while Malcolm focused on observing the micro expressions of Spencer’s opponents.
Molly’s words were lost in the noise of the crowd, so Lyra couldn’t hear clearly. “Molly, what did you say?”
“I said Spencer’s too embarrassed to thank me!”
“What?”
Molly said, “Forget it.”
Spencer was being taught seriously by his father.
“Steady your mind during the game and try your best. The rest is not important. These opponents are very high-spirited, and they will definitely say something to ridicule you.”
Spencer, as the youngest player in the Mathematical Olympiad, had been disliked by countless people. Those gossipy people mentioned Spencer’s age in every competition.
Molly said, “That’s because I’m not there. If I were, they would be speechless.”
Lyra twitched the corners of her mouth and was thinking: Fortunately, you were not there at that time, but now you are.
The game was about to begin.
A group of finalists took to the stage.
Looking at Spencer in front of them, Lyra and Malcolm suddenly felt that their child had grown up.
Among the group of people, although Spencer was the youngest, he was not the shortest. Especially when he stood on the stage without any panic, he looked more like an adult.
Molly shouted, “Spencer, go for it!”
The sound was loud, and the people on the stage heard it. Spencer nodded slightly.
The parents in the auditorium had just quieted down and began to discuss quietly.
“Is this boy her brother? I heard that he’s only in the second grade. Isn’t he too young? He looks good.”
“It’s nothing to be young. It’s true to be strong. He’s extraordinary to be able to make it to the finals all the way. You can see that this kid’s younger sister is so beautiful. She looks like a beauty.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Don’t think too highly of this kid. What if he can’t improve his strength in the finals? The young ones are definitely not as good as the older ones. What’s the use of being good-looking?”
“This child’s parents are also outstanding. At first glance, they are not ordinary people. He’s number one every time. There is no suspense this time.”
“Why? You don’t want to see your children win the championship? How can you aid the enemy?”
Some people expressed disdain. “You only look after your own children. Who doesn’t know it? You even look down on other people’s children.”
“Hey, what do you mean? Who doesn’t take care of their own children? What’s the use of a good-looking vase? Just talk about it!”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The voice was a bit loud, and it made Molly turn her head to look at the two of them. When she heard what was being said about her brother, Molly turned angry.
“Whom do you say is a vase? Don’t say that about my brother!”
Although she was young, she can discriminate the bad from the good.
Malcolm was about to go forward to say a few words when he heard Lyra whisper, “Don’t worry. Let her go. She must learn to deal with this kind of problem. Let them know from an early age that there are not only good guys, and scoundrels.”
Malcolm twitched the corners of his mouth. Women were so cruel.
Lyra didn’t speak.
Seeing Molly’s immature face, the woman on the opposite side got angry, looked her up and down, and sarcastically said, “When is it your turn to come forward, you little brat? If you have something to say, ask your parents!”
“My parents won’t talk to people like you! Whom do you say is a vase? Because looking goof? Are you a pig because you’re fat?”
Molly didn’t show weakness but said it very cleverly.
Especially after returning from the training camp, she had a good brain and spoke the right metaphors.
The woman opposite choked.
In full view, she was called a pig by a child.
To haggle it over meant that she was narrow-minded. If she did not, she would hold the grudge. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, but can only stare at Molly before stopping.
Everyone saw this and gave Molly a thumbs up.
She turned and sat down, not accepting the compliment.
There was nothing to praise about quarreling with others, but she hoped that there will be fewer unreasonable people in this world, and there will be no need to quarrel at all.
Lyra and Malcolm kept their eyes on Molly, and watched her sit down, smiling.
Molly just came back to her senses when she saw the proud faces of her parents.
Molly was slightly taken aback. “Daddy, Mommy, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, let’s watch the game.”
The two of them turned their heads away in a tacit understanding. Molly pondered for a while, and suddenly understood what was going on.
Her parents were watching her deal with the problem just now.
The competition started quickly. First, the names of the contestants were called. The order of the names was arranged according to the ranking. Spencer was the first and the youngest, so the introduction took a little longer.
The host asked him, “Spencer, can you tell everyone why you want to participate in this competition? Is it to cultivate hobbies, or to prove your strength?”
Everyone turned their attention to Spencer, and even Malcolm and Lyra were looking forward to his answer.
Unexpectedly, Spencer took the microphone, faced the host, and asked calmly, “Sorry, I didn’t hear what you just asked.”
