“I, I don’t know again!”
Lizzie sneered and raised her voice sharply, “I don’t know what gives you the right to bully and insult a child!”
She suddenly turned to Theron, “Theron! If you can’t control your mom, this professor of yours will definitely be in big trouble!”
Theron stayed silent, he knew Lizzie was right, his mother couldn’t stay at Equinox Research Institute anymore.
He will send Vanessa away tomorrow.
Vanessa exploded, “You troublemaker! Cursing Theron again? Are you planning to report Theron? You’re so wicked!”
Lizzie looked at her furious expression, a cold smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
“Do I still need to report him? Do you think he’s still the same war hero as before? A professor with a stain, without the halo, is easy to bring down.”
Lizzie chuckled, “After all, there are only a few positions for senior officers, and there are more people trying to bring them down than you can imagine.”
Vanessa panicked, she didn’t quite understand, but that last sentence, she got it!
Lizzie smirked and said, “Plus, with a mom like you stirring up trouble for him every day, making enemies everywhere.”

Chapter157
Theron’s home was her domain, she called the shots. In her past life, she worked hard to keep it that way, so he could focus on fighting and winning battles on the front lines without any worries.
It’s not that she looked down on Johanna, it’s just that Johanna’s selfish nature meant she couldn’t take care of Theron’s back.
Especially Vanessa, she’s a troublemaker and a troublemaker.
Look, he’s only been here for a few days and already causing so much trouble!
Lizzie sneered, “You can handle him yourself! No need for me to waste time reporting him.”
Lizzie’s words, Vanessa didn’t quite understand. She thought for a while and then started to feel a bit flustered.
She quietly turned back to look at Zaire’s expression. Seeing that Zaire’s face was not good, her heart sank even deeper.
Theron was her weak spot, messing up his bright future. She wasn’t a “professor” anymore, which was even worse than killing her.
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying these people stabbed Theron in the back?”
“Mom!” Theron shouted at her with a headache, “Don’t speak, just don’t speak!”
Johanna also had a headache and comforted softly, “Mom, Theron’s brothers who went to the battlefield with him wouldn’t do this. Don’t listen to these words trying to sow discord.”
Vanessa didn’t relax just because of her comfort.
The more she was comforted, the more panicked she became, “Theron

is a professor, all that fighting on the battlefield, shedding blood and sweat for the country!”
He talks as if he hasn’t shed blood and sweat for the country!
Johanna really wanted to cover her mouth and make her stop talking!
A few of Theron’s subordinates exchanged glances and felt that it was really not appropriate to stay any longer.
“Um… Theron, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“Yeah, yeah, Theron, Johanna, congratulations, let’s head back first.”
Someone took the lead, and others followed suit to say goodbye.
“Theron, let’s catch up another day.”
“Congratulations, you left first.”
In the blink of an eye, the three tables of guests, which were still lively, had almost all left.
Theron’s face turned pale, and he stiffly escorted the guests out.
Zaire walked last, he reached the door, and then he stopped.
“Theron, I’ve always believed in you. You’re destined for great things, and your family needs to support you every step of the way,” he said earnestly.
Theron’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he nodded slowly and said, “Yes, I know.”
“Family members‘ thoughts also need to be worked on quickly.”
“I got this.”

Zaire didn’t say much, just gave him a heavy pat on the shoulder.
Vanessa’s last bit of dignity she was holding onto finally crumbled.
She stared blankly at the empty tables and chairs, a chilling sensation shot up her spine.
She was so proud before, now she’s freaking out!
She screamed and then collapsed on the cold ground.
Her neatly combed hair became messy, and she pounded the ground, screaming in agony.
“Lizzie that damn girl! She betrayed me! She was going to ruin my son!”
Her embarrassing behavior made Johanna’s face look ugly.
Johanna forced herself to squat down and help the unruly Vanessa, but couldn’t lift her up. She almost got knocked down by Vanessa’s flailing hands.
Johanna stood on the side with a headache, her wedding was ruined, turned into a complete farce.
She hasn’t cried yet! What is Vanessa crying for!
She hated Lizzie. Hated that troublemaker, Vanessa, even more.
What’s the difference between Vanessa’s face right now and her parents who will only drag her down!
