When Carlos was brought back to the Quirk estate, he was still in a state of self-imposed isolation.
Naturally, everyone had gathered downstairs for another round of gossip. Thankfully, with Christopher and Rosalie eavesdropping through the door crack, there was no pressure when the discussion started.
Upon hearing about this, Sarah was keen on playing matchmaker for Carlos and Sylvie. After all, the other party was interested, and they already slept together. Sarah felt hopeful that her brother, who had always been a loner, might finally have a companion. However, others didn't agree.
After all, it was her choice. Sylvie believed that love required mutual affection. She wasn't lacking in self-esteem, but rather, she had a clear understanding of herself. She thought that Carlos might treat her well, but he would never fall in love with her. Therefore, she chose to pursue her own dreams instead.
Meanwhile, Carlos's introversion wasn't about grappling with love or lack thereof. He would later ask industry insiders to keep an eye on Sylvie. However, if he knew for certain he would never fall in love with her, he wouldn't interfere in her life, only stepping in if she faced difficulties.
What concerned him most was the unexpected development of his two female students having feelings for him. He began to wonder if there was something wrong with his teaching methods. He realized he needed to reflect seriously on this before considering taking on any more students.
A few days later, Sylvie left the country. As agreed, Carlos recommended her to his mentor, who welcomed her as a new student.
Upon hearing the news, Isabella burst into laughter.
I originally thought they'd be master and apprentice, but now it's turned out more like senior and junior. Haha.
After sorting out matters here, Isabella recalled the arrangement to visit Janice's school. She had initially planned to go that day, but since Janice came back very late the previous night and left very early the following morning, they didn't get to discuss it properly After waking up, Isabella was casually chatting with some idle folks in the hall when a servant's voice interrupted.
"Ms. Janice is injured..." The implication was clear: Janice was hurt and needed assistance, as she wouldn't be able to tend to herself properly.
The moment the servant spoke, everyone was taken aback.
"Injured? What happened?"
The servant had heard from Janice, who had reportedly taken a fall and ended up with some bruising. Janice had asked for some ointment.
As a result, Isabella's expression changed.
"Darn it! Dylan, that jerk, always messing around instead of doing anything productive. Does he take pleasure in tormenting his own little sister? Even going as far as to bully her at school!" Isabella cursed inwardly. 12.55 Sun, UCI ZU

Why on earth do you care about the bracelet I gave to Janice? Just because Cecilia mentioned it casually, you had the nerve to show up and demand that Janice give the bracelet to Cecilia! Who do you think you are? You even had the gall to say that Cecilia will soon be a daughter-in-law of the Quirk family, so it's only fair she gets a share. Isn't that supposed to make up for Janice's refusal to mediate during this time? Maybe you should think before you speak. Are you out of your mind? Janice surprisingly stood her ground, echoing my words. Yes, I said it. This bracelet is only for the Quirk girls! And only those who are present can claim it! As the matriarch of this household, it's my decision. It's not for your Cecilia! Do you disagree and plan to seize it? I'm truly flabbergasted. In the end, you're afraid of Alexander and too scared to take what you want by force, So when you can't get it, you lash out at your own sister? You must have rocks in your head! If Uncle Eric ever considers making you his heir, I'll have my husband take you down! I'll show you what it's like to be bullied and ostracized by your own siblings!
At the time, only Carlos was home, oblivious to everything around him. After hearing the servant's explanation, he didn't give it much thought initially. However, he suddenly felt a chilling aura permeating the air around him. Upon glancing over, Isabella, Christopher, and Rosalie all wore expressions of considerable annoyance, leaving him feeling confused.
The more Isabella thought about it, the angrier she became. She took out her phone and sent a message to Alexander.
"Hubby," she said, "I found out that Janice got hurt. It might have something to do with her brother. That guy is bullying his sister. He needs to be taught a lesson!"
Isabella's guard against Alexander was gradually lowering. At times, she didn't even consider the risk of exposing herself. After all, Alexander never questioned what she said, so she simply began to express herself more openly. "He's not in the office today, but, there are other ways."
