A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 275

School budgets.

Hospital reports.

Ordinary life.

Eventually the first notifications appeared.

Dozens of flagged conversations.

Most were harmless.

Family discussions.

School invitations.

Charity events.

Nothing useful.

I continued reviewing them.

Time slipped away.

Before I realized it, the academy day had ended.

I heard children’s voices echoing through the castle.

Doors opening.

Running footsteps.

Laughter.

Home.

The castle finally felt like home.

I closed the last report and stretched.

Maybe Amber was right.

Maybe I had been looking too hard.

Maybe –

A voice interrupted my thoughts.

‘…if you ever encounter someone you are not one hundred percent sure you can beat…”

Amber.

“…remember that running away is always better than risking your life.”

I froze.

What?

I slowly walked out of my office.

The voices grew louder.

curious.

Excited.

Children.

Lots of children.

I rounded the corner toward the main sitting room.

Then stopped.

Completely.

There weren’t four children.

There weren’t eight.

There had to be twenty.

At least.

Children of every age sat cross-legged across the enormous sitting room.

Some wore school uniforms.

Others still had backpacks beside them.

A few parents waited quietly near the entrance.

No one interrupted.

Every single child was listening to Amber.

She sat comfortably on one of the large sofas, one hand resting absentmindedly on her stomach while speaking with complete calm.

“…because surviving is never cowardly.”

The children watched her with complete attention.

“If you can escape safely…”

She smiled.

“Escape.”

A little boy raised his hand.

“What if someone calls us cowards?”

Amber smiled again.

“They’re alive enough to insult you.”

The room laughed.

“So I would call that a successful escape.”

5/8

Even more laughter.

Areenage girl asked the next question.

“But what if someone is bullying my little brother?”

Amber nodded.

“Different situation.”

She stood, walking toward the center of the room.

“You protect people.”

A pause.

“But protecting someone doesn’t always mean fighting.”

She looked around the room.

“Sometimes protecting someone means getting help.”

Another pause.

“Sometimes it means distracting the bully.’

She smiled.

“And sometimes…”

She looked toward Alice.

“…it means having a four-year-old publicly embarrass them.”

Alice grinned proudly.

The children burst into laughter.

I stood there.

Completely confused.

How…

Why…

When…

Where had twenty children come from?

I finally caught Rose’s attention.

She smiled brightly.

“Dad!”

Every child turned toward me.

Twenty pairs of eyes.

Then twenty-one.

Amber turned around.

“Oh.”

She smiled warmly.

“You’re done working.”

I nodded slowly.

“…Apparently.”

I looked around again.

“What exactly…”

I gestured toward the room.

“…is happening?”

Amber blinked.

“The after-school club.”

I stared.

“The what?”

She looked genuinely surprised.

“I thought Mrs. Sun told you.”

I slowly turned toward my mother. 1

Who had somehow appeared in the doorway carrying a tray of cookies.

She smiled innocently.
