After Lalisa went to school, she was prepared to rent a house near the school. She did not want to take a taxi to school from the Manobal residence daily.

Besides, leaving her belongings with the Manobal residence was unsafe. She touched the pistol hidden at the back of her waist. She did not want to receive nagging from the Manobal family.

Lalisa rented the house as quickly as possible and planned to move in the next day.

Yeri believed that her brother would let Lalisa go back.

Although there was no news, she planned to use a trick to make Lalisa leave immediately.

Therefore, she deliberately said during dinner, "Elder Brother called me and said that Sister has already broken off her engagement with the Fu family. The purpose of bringing her back has been achieved. Will Sister still stay at home?"

Although Bambam scolded all the servants, he did not live at home. The servants were only afraid momentarily and did not take it seriously. Therefore, they did not treat Lalisa as a young miss.

When they heard Yeri's words, they were happy. It seemed that she was finally leaving.

When Lalisa returned home at night, she saw the happy servants. She understand why these people were laughing, but it had nothing to do with her.

Yeri limped over and said, "Sister, you're back. Dinner is ready. Hurry up and sit down."

The dining room had prepared a table full of delicacies, different from the morning dry bread. However, the table was filled with Western foods, and none could be eaten with chopsticks.

Yeri stood at the side and watched.

When Lalisa's mother was alive, the family only ate Chinese food. Only after she passed away did the family start eating Western food. At that time, Lalisa had already been sent out.

Yeri thought that Lalisa had never eaten these dishes before. She probably did not even know how to hold a knife and fork.

The servants also gathered at the door, waiting to see the Young Miss make a fool of herself.

Having experienced the luxury of the Manobal family, they considered themselves above the common folk.

Despite Lalisa's privileged upbringing, they believed their knowledge surpassed hers. This made them even happier, so they all looked forward to the opportunity to mock Lalisa.

Lalisa ignored the food. She thought that the Manobal family's menu today was Western food.

She picked up her knife and fork and skilfully cut the steak, startling Yeri, who was about to go forward to remind her. Lalisa looked like he was already used to eating this. She was not at a loss, as she had imagined.

Not only did she pick up the knife and fork correctly, but she even made only a slight sound when she cut the steak. This was not something that could be done for the first time.

She was dressed in casual clothes, but she looked elegant and calm, like a noble.

Yeri gritted her teeth and looked at her. She had worked hard for so many years to practice dining etiquette. She was even more careful when she ate, afraid that anything would be wrong. That was why she had a good reputation for being elegant.

How could a village girl like Lalisa have such manners? She should be uncivil. Could it be that she had the blood of the Manobal family?

"Sister, have you eaten Western food before?" Yeri asked.

Lalisa ignored her and said, "I don't remember."

Yeri fell silent after being rebuffed. Seeing that Lalisa was about to go upstairs after the meal. She said anxiously, "I heard Sehun say that he has already broken off the engagement with you. Brother brought you back because of this. I wonder if he will send you back?"

Her face was full of worry as if she was saying this for Lalisa's good.

Lalisa said indifferently, "Ask him yourself. Let me know when the time comes."

Yeri could not say anything else. She suspected that Lalisa knew something. Her brother was cold and did not talk much to his family. If she asked, she would be embarrassing herself.

Lalisa wiped her mouth with a napkin, then got up and went upstairs, leaving Yeri in the dining room.

Yeri had said so much just to scare Lalisa so she would know the difficulties and scram back to the countryside. Why did she seem not to understand? Could it be that she was not educated and was stupid?

The assistant passed Yeri's words to the Manobal family's eldest brother. He believed that Lalisa intended to depart and arranged for someone to provide the travel expenses, pocket money for her return journey, and living expenses for her return to the countryside.

However, Yeri only sent the plane tickets and left the money behind. The entire household was aware that the Young Miss was finally leaving.

Lalisa remained silent, placing the plane ticket on the table, packing her belongings, and preparing to move them outside. The following day, she departed in a car.

Yeri believed that her scheme had succeeded, and she was in an exceptionally good mood on her way to school.
