Chapter 59: Rules and Discontent  

Scarlett had just entered Cloud Mountain with Elijah and his mother when she spotted a familiar tall figure not far away. As soon as she saw the silk shirt, she knew it was Lucius Zhou.

Lucius turned at the sound of their arrival, striding over with a smile. "Mrs. Brooks," he greeted.

Mrs. Brooks returned the smile. "Lucius, it's been a while."

"I heard you were coming here, so I rushed over," Lucius replied.

"Are you here to see me, or are you worried about me interviewing your tutor?" Mrs. Brooks asked.

Lucius chuckled. "Don't be like that, Mrs. Brooks. If she doesn't pass the interview, it's on her, not me. I'm here to join you for tea."

He had already arranged for a private room and tea. The trio became a quartet, with Mrs. Brooks and Lucius leading the way, and Scarlett and Elijah trailing behind.
