NovelOnlineChapter 619 Aviana looked somewhat embarrassed at those words.
She sincerely wanted Sylvia to take Isla as an apprentice, so that Isla could achieve more in computer technology, rather than being an arrogant girl who thought herself the best.
Upon hearing Aviana and Sylvia's conversation, Isla looked shocked. "Auntie, what are you talking about? How could | possibly be her apprentice? She..." Isla was fuming with anger, but she couldn't flare up, or it would make Franklin dislike her even more. So, she suppressed her disgust with Sylvia, smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Andrews probably doesn't have time for me. Besides, | graduated from Pioneer University with a degree in computer science before! All my teachers were top-notch. Miss Andrews might not have a chance to know them." She implied that Sylvia was nothing compared to her teachers and unworthy to teach her.
Sylvia didn't even bother looking up or wasting her breath on this ignorant woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing such infuriating comments from her niece made Aviana turn red with anger.
How shallow-minded her niece was! Had her niece not heard Adriel and Sylvia discussing chip design earlier? Only top-notch engineers like Sylvia could participate init! Many people begged for cooperation with Sylvia or sought guidance from her! Yet her niece mocked Sylvia instead? Aviana was furious beyond control; all day long since arriving here, she had been boiling with anger.
She slapped Isla across the face without hesitation and said snappishly.
"If you disrespect Miss Andrews again like that, don't call me auntie’ anymore! | won't have a niece like you!" Isla's leg hurt badly after being kicked by Sylvia earlier; now getting slapped by Aviana publicly only made it worse. Her ears were ringing as tears streamed down uncontrollably, "Auntie..." She bit her lower lip, feeling wronged as tears filled up both eyes. "Why do you hit me too? They all bully me... You're doing it too..." Staring into Isla's pitiful eyes, Aviana suddenly came back into reality.
She hurriedly picked up Isla and held her in her arms. "Isla, | didn't mean it. | was just..., just too angry. How could you be so disobedient? Do you know how capable Jess is? Do you know how many people beg for a chance to be her apprentice.” "Isla, listen to me. Go and beg Miss Andrews. Don't be stubborn." For Isla, she would rather die than beg Sylvia to teach her.
She didn't want to lose her self-respect at all in front of Sylvia.
Just as she opened her mouth, she felt a burning pain on her face that almost made her faint.
But then Adriel laughed out loud. "Sibbie won't teach others. Even if she wanted to, she could only take her relatives." Adriel helped Sylvia refuse Aviana.
Aviana looked embarrassed at his words.
"Well, | must be crazy to propose that unreasonable request. After all, Miss Andrews’ skills are so amazing," she said awkwardly, trying hard to keep her self-esteem alive.

He kept his head down all the time, revealing only his handsome profile.
He separated the yellowish-orange roe from its shell perfectly before placing it onto Sylvia's plate.
He smiled slightly while looking at Sylvia with a doting expression, saying, "This crab isn't very big but there is plenty of roe inside." Sylvia saw those golden-yellow roes beside the crab meat Franklin had prepared for her before having them.
When Sylvia was enjoying the food, Franklin continued peeling shrimps. Soon several plump shrimps was put on Sylvia's plate.
He was so attentive to Sylvia, which stunned everyone present again.
Isla felt jealous and uncomfortable, wondering why Franklin was so nice to Sylvia? She couldn't help but speak sourly, "Master, you were just burned. You should rest for a while. Miss Andrews has hands and shouldn't need your help peeling shrimp." Sylvia picked up a shrimp from her plate and held it out to Franklin. "Open your mouth." The man lightly parted his lips at her words, had the shrimp and carefully chewed it.
