She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 94

He had spent hours standing in the shoes of the White player, analyzing the board over and over, yet he still couldn't find a way out of the dead end.

It was a testament to just how terrifyingly brilliant that phantom player had been.

And the more he understood her brilliance, the more frantic and desperate he became to track her down.

"If you have no business here, stay out. While you're in this house, just focus on your wifely duties," Wade sneered, his voice completely devoid of warmth, sounding exactly like the tone he used on the hired help.

"Fine," she replied evenly.

She didn't have the energy to waste another syllable on him. Experience had taught her that if she argued, it would only drag into an endless, exhausting lecture. Silence was simply more efficient.

Checking the time, she knew the food simmering on the stove was nearly ready. She turned to head back to the kitchen, but Wade called out again.

"I hear you've been throwing a tantrum with my son lately. You're not even coming home?" he demanded.

She shot a brief glance at Herbert but kept her mouth shut.

Wade plowed on, "I don't care about the details of your marital spats, but as long as you're a daughter-in-law of this family, you will abide by our rules. If you ask me, all this idleness is your real problem. When people have too much free time, their minds wander to foolish things."

Herbert stepped in to clarify, "Dad and I think we should find you a job. If you have something productive to do, your worldview won't be so narrow."

Hulda raised an eyebrow. So, the father-and-son duo had decided to bless her with a job?

"Exactly," Wade nodded, settling into a chair and pouring himself a cup of tea. "You don't have any outstanding skills to begin with. You wouldn't survive a high-end corporate job, and sending you out into the professional world would only embarrass this family. So here's what we'll do: you can come work at my National Go Academy. You'll handle basic hospitality—greeting guests, pouring tea, running errands. It'll broaden your horizons, introduce you to people outside our circle, and train your emotional intelligence and work ethic."

Hulda found the offer genuinely hilarious. If her mentor or her colleague Brandon ever heard this, they would probably flip a table.
