“Humph, a little brat who hasn’t even awakened her special ability, yet you’re still shouting at me.” Joanna sneered before she left.
I stood at the same spot as I looked at the half-packed books and computers on the table. I had an urge to flip them all over.
This b*tch! I knew that everything about her was an act!
She was like a snake with many schemes, attracting your attention with her bright appearance, gaining your trust with her seemingly meek attitude, and waiting for the opportunity to strike the fatal blow.
Only now, she had taken off her gorgeous costume before me, revealing her insidious inner self.
I’d calmed myself down, and the fact that Joanna dared to show me this side of herself meant that she was not afraid of me revealing her true colors to the others.
Because she presented herself to everyone as gentle and presentable, no one would believe me. I went straight to Michael and probably made him think that I hadn’t adjusted from the werewolf to the royal Lycan family life and that he would take it as a figment of my imagination.
I needed to make a plan to make Joanna walk into the trap and reveal her true nature.
But before that, I needed to make sure that Michael was mine, that he had a deeper connection to me than just his mate, and that he couldn’t live without me.
What should I do? I thought to myself as I walked into the kitchen.
Maybe making dinner for Michael would be a good idea.
The last time I ruined the first half of our date, I tried to make up for it in the second half, but all the good food went to waste.
I used to help my mom in the kitchen when I was home and was confident in my cooking. The only problem was that I didn’t know what Michael liked to eat, and he didn’t seem fussy.
I finally decided to make Michael one of my favorite dishes when I was a kid. I wouldn’t be as good as the top chef in Michael’s family if it were a big meal, but it was the same as when I was a kid and the same as when I was a kid.
While Michael was eating the dish, I could also tell him about my childhood so we could have a conversation and get to know each other better.
While I was preparing the food, Joanna appeared behind me out of nowhere.
I tried to ignore her, but she was here to cause trouble.
“Look at what our Prince Lycan’s mate is doing, preparing dinner for her mate. What a lovely gesture,” Joanna said in a deliberately artificial voice.
I turned around to cut a potato, trying to get Joanna to leave with my back to her.
But Joanna just stood on the edge of the island. She looked at me and smiled. “I have to say; your behavior is touching. To please Michael, you won’t hesitate to work as a servant. But do you think this will work?”
“What did you say?” I turned around and glared at Joanna with a knife in my hand.
Joanna did not react to my actions. She seemed to have decided that I would not fight with her. She only had an annoying smile as she continued, “Your value can only be reflected in these menial chores. Any skilled servant can easily replace this. This will not help you keep Michael’s heart.”
“So your method of constantly running away and wanting Michael to save you will work?” I mocked.
I thought this was a powerful counterattack, but unexpectedly, this only made the smile on Joanna’s face grow wider.
“Oh, we are different from you, Cecily. You won’t understand what happened between us.”
‘Please, for god’s sake, I want to tear her mouth apart.’
I fiercely started cutting a tomato and imagined it was Joanna’s head. I sliced it into pieces one by one, then cut it into small chunks before finally boiling it in the pot.
“Speaking of which, I’m also curious about something else.”
Joanna was a person. Even if I completely ignored her, she would still be able to say annoying things continuously.
“The homework you did in the afternoon was school homework?”
“Yes,” I said dryly.
“That’s very strange. I heard that Sasha also goes to school here, but she goes to school every day. And you stay at home every day, doing nothing.
“Only when Michael comes back do you walk around him, just like the other servants in the house who wait for the owner to come home and then gather around to provide services.” Joanna covered her mouth and giggled.
“What’s wrong with you? What does that have to do with you?” I said impatiently.
