Chapter 343
When Rosalie first saw Priscilla, the only word that came to mind was “stunning“. The woman before her was tall and elegant, with a petite, exquisitely sculpted face and thick, lustrous hair. Few people could leave such a striking impression with just their appearance.
“I don’t care which student’s parent you are. If you dare high teacher, I’ll report you to the school administration! “Darcie snapped coldly.
The surname “Price” wasn’t common, and she couldn’t recall teaching any student with that name.
Her eyes darted between Priscilla and Elara’s faces. Honestly, if Priscilla didn’t look so young, Darcie might have actually believed she was Elara’s mother.
Rosalie, with her cheeks still swollen, forced a flattering; smile at Prise she looked like a squirrel with its
cheeks stuffed full of nuts.
“Ms. Price, I really didn’t mean it that way…”
Seeing the cold glint in Priscilla’s sharp eyes, Rosalie shivered and immediately slapped her own face.
“It’s my fault! I spoke without thinking and said the wrong thing. Ms. Price, please be magnanimous and forgive me!”
Darcie watched Rosalie’s sudden change in attitude, her own expression growing more fearful as she glanced at Priscilla.
She whispered to Rosalie, “Is she someone we shouldn’t mess with?”
Rosalie gritted her teeth, her voice barely audible as she hissed, “The bank that pays your salary is one of Price Nation’s businesses!”
That single sentence turned Darcie’s face ghostly pale.
One of the top five banks in Eucon was just one of Price Nation’s assets? That meant this woman was even more untouchable than Fisher Corp!
In an instant, large beads of cold sweat rolled down Darcie’s forehead.
“Why are you apologizing to me?” After saying this to Rosalie, Priscilla turned her attention to Elara.
Rosalie’s mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood, and she felt her bones creak as if they might shatter.
From the moment Elara married into the Fisher family, Rosalie had looked down on her background. She had seen Abel’s shameless social climbing, witnessed Daphne’s foolishness, and sneered at Niamh for mingling too closely with men.
The thought that Elara had grown up in a remote small town, relying on Fisher Corp’s financial aid to finish college, made Rosalie’s stomach chum. Even hearing Elara call her name made Rosalie feel nauseated.
But now, under the overwhelming pressure of the head of Price Nation, she had to bow and scrape to apologize to Elara. Rosalie felt her spine ache as she bent forward, the pain making it hard to breathe.
“Elara, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said those things about you.”
Rosalie’s apology sounded hollow, and her voice was light and insincere. Resentment was burning fiercely in her
eyes.
Elara replied, “If you don’t want to apologize, then don’t. Apologizing like this only makes your resentment grow

and turns
even more against me.”
Rosalie nearly cursed out loud. Of course, she didn’t want to apologize, but she couldn’t afford to offend Priscilla. If she angered Price Nation, even her husband would suffer the consequences. “Rosalie, your apology to me is just for Ms. Price’s benefit.”
Rosalie forced down the disgust bubbling up inside her and put on a pleading expression. “What do I need to do for you to forgive me?”
Priscilla’s fierce protection of Elara made Rosalie realize that if Elara didn’t say the words “I forgive you“, Fisher Corp would face devastating repercussions the moment she left the auditorium.
