I Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle

Chapter 167

Davis’s expression was one of pride and satisfaction as he looked at Serena. “Serena, you need to study hard and improve your translation skills. Once you’ve mastered them, help your sister improve as well. Make sure she never resorts to cheating again.” Serena nodded eagerly, her demeanor brimming with sincerity. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to guide my sister. I won’t let her repeat her mistakes.” Liza, watching the live stream, smirked coldly. Did they really think they could wrap this up so easily? The trio—Serena, Mr Sinclair, and Davis—had fabricated a narrative that painted her as the villain while they came out looking virtuous. They gained sympathy, admiration, and respect, all at her expense. But Liza wasn’t the type to accept such injustices quietly.Her eyes gleamed with determination as she picked up her phone and dialed a number. Her voice was calm and confident as she spoke, “This is Liza. I have something to discuss regarding the translation competition.” … Once the call ended, Liza turned to Gavin. Her cold expression softened as she gazed at him, a hint of vulnerability creeping into her voice. “They’re all targeting me and trying to ruin my reputation!” Gavin’s expression remained steady, his tone even. “George!” George immediately stepped forward, clearly nervous but ready to act. “Yes, Young Master! I’ll dig up all of Davis’s secrets and expose him. Let’s see how he dares to mess with Madam after that!” Gavin glanced at him briefly, his eyes sharp. “Do you even know who she called?” George paused, confused by the question. Thinking his master was upset or jealous, he cautiously replied, “I assume Madam reached out to a friend for help, Master…”Before he could continue, Gavin interrupted, his voice steady and cold. “She called Nick. He’s the vice president of the International Translation Organization.” George’s jaw dropped in disbelief. “Nick?” he stammered. “The vice president of the International Translation Organization? But… why would he treat Young Madam with such respect? It almost sounded like he was her subordinate!” Gavin’s lips curled into a faint, knowing smile. “It’s because she’s more than you realize. If I’m not mistaken, Liza is that mysterious figure who dominates the international translation competition every year. She’s the one who takes first place without ever revealing her identity or showing her face.” The realization hit George like a brick wall. Gavin continued, his tone laced with quiet amusement. “For years, the translation organization has tried to recruit her, going to great lengths to bring her into their fold, but she’s rejected them every single time. Now, thanks to Davis’s arrogance, they finally have an excuse to act.” His expression turned icy. “Davis hasn’t just wronged Liza. He’s inadvertently handed the translation organization the perfect reason to deal with him. His career and reputation are finished—domestically and internationally.” George stood frozen for a moment before muttering, “Young Madam… is terrifyingly powerful…” Gavin didn’t respond directly, but his subtle smirk spoke volumes. For now, the wolves who thought they could corner Liza would soon find themselves devoured instead. … In the conference room of the International Translation Organization, Nick slammed his phone onto the table, his face red with anger. “We all know the caliber of Miss Susanza’s translation skills! And yet, Davis dared to accuse her of cheating? Miss Susanza has been the undisputed champion of our international translation competition for five consecutive years. Someone like her doesn’t need to cheat!”He gestured wildly, frustration evident in his tone. “For years, we’ve extended invitations for her to join our organization, and when she finally considered it, that fool Davis has managed to ruin everything!” One of the senior members quickly chimed in, “Shall we release a statement immediately to clear Miss Susanza’s name? Davis isn’t even qualified to be part of our organization, yet he had the audacity to look down on her! He’s utterly ridiculous!” Nick raised a hand to stop them, his tone firm. “Hold on. Miss Susanza has her own plan. Let’s wait for her instructions and follow her lead.” After sharing Liza’s strategy with the group, Nick was met with a wave of admiration from his colleagues. They were impressed not only by her brilliance in translation but also by her foresight and composure in dealing with the situation. Meanwhile, Serena had just ended her live stream. She turned to Davis with a sweet smile, her tone filled with respect. “Master, thank you for being so understanding with my sister. It’s just… her rebellious personality makes me worry whether she’ll truly change.” Mr Sinclair immediately added, his tone ingratiating, “Mr. Davis, you’ve been very gracious. Our Serena has always been gentle and considerate. It pains her to see her sister make such mistakes and face public backlash. Rest assured, we’ll ensure Liza learns her lesson and doesn’t repeat such behavior.” Davis puffed up his chest and cleared his throat, speaking in a condescending tone. “Mr. Sinclair , you must discipline her properly. Otherwise, she might...” A cold, sharp voice cut him off mid-sentence. “Might what?” Everyone froze, turning toward the door. Liza stood there, her eyes glinting with icy defiance and a mocking smile playing on her lips. “Afraid I’ll surpass you and strip you of your so-called title as a master translator?” The room fell into an uneasy silence. A few panicked servants rushed in after her, bowing apologetically. “We’re sorry, Mr. Sinclair . We tried to stop the eldest miss, but she insisted on coming in!” Mr Sinclair’s face turned a dark shade of red as he snapped, “Liza! How dare you barge in like this? Your behavior is an embarrassment, and you’re being downright disrespectful to Mr. Davis!” Liza’s gaze didn’t waver as she replied coolly, “Why would I need permission to step into my own home? Or have you forgotten, Mr. Sinclair, exactly who owns this house?” Her words struck a nerve, and Mr Sinclair found himself momentarily speechless, his expression sour and defensive. Trying to diffuse the tension, Serena quickly stepped forward, her tone soft and conciliatory. “Sister, Dad and I have been pleading on your behalf. Mr. Davis has graciously decided not to hold this against you anymore. You don’t need to worry about the impact this incident might have.” Liza’s lips curled into a sneer, her piercing gaze locking on Davis. “And what makes you think Mr. Davis has the right to blame me in the first place?” Her confidence was so overwhelming that Davis instinctively stepped back, his pompous demeanor cracking under the weight of her presence. Sensing the growing tension, Mr Sinclair exploded, his voice rising in frustration. “Liza, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?” Serena feigned sadness, her voice trembling as she said, “Sister, I know you’ve already realized your mistake. Let’s not escalate this any further. Please, don’t make things harder on yourself.”
