Chapter 1588 The Nature of Things, and on the Same Wavelength
Girls could suffer, but they couldn’t become ugly.
No matter how tough they were, they still had to be pretty. That showed how important looks were.
Selina, on the other hand, had long listened in on the fight via Gold Nugget no. 1.
Now, as she sat on the couch and looked at the two little girls whose gazes collided every now and then, she couldn’t help but turn her head and press it into her elbow as she shook and laughed. These two silly kids had no idea how cruel the adult world was!

Until now, they still didn’t understand that the blow they had suffered today was definitely deliberate.
Otherwise, Luke wouldn’t have allowed them to fight like this.
He could have easily stopped them with a few words, and they wouldn’t have had the chance to fight each other.
Staring at Selina suspiciously, Claire couldn’t help but draw closer. “Selina, what are you doing?”
Selina raised her head, the smile still on her face. “It’s nothing. I just thought of a funny soap opera.”
Claire asked, “Really? Which one?”
She felt that Selina’s smile was related to her, but she had never acted in a soap opera before.
Selina said, “Gossip Girl.” Claire frowned. “That… doesn’t seem like a comedy show, right?”
It was just a drama about scheming little b*tches plotting against each other. How twisted could you be to smile while watching it?
It was just like how some people could eat three portions of steak still oozing blood. It was completely abnormal.
Selina patted her head with a smile. “Your brother treats you really well. You have to thank G.o.d.”
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
Puzzled, Claire left.
She was still a little in “awe” of Selina.
This was the devil teacher who could press her to the ground and kick her b.u.t.t. Even though Claire had the mysterious old man, it didn’t change the outcome.
So, if Selina wouldn’t say anything, there was nothing Claire could do. She returned to the group and chatted with them.
Claire and Mindy might have had a huge fight, but it conversely made them a lot closer.
This was subconscious behavior.
All five girls had extraordinary combat ability.
Although they weren’t out of place when they interacted with ordinary people, there were a lot of things that couldn’t be said out loud.
For example, Mindy and Claire couldn’t talk casually outside about dealing with hooligans.
But peace was always fleeting.
After just a few words, they glared at each other again.
Because compared with Claire’s “beating someone up and calling the police,” Mindy’s “breaking both legs and throwing them into a dumpster” was too violent.
Claire said, “That might cause trouble later. That’s not a proper way to handle things.”
Mindy snorted. “My father is rich, and I’m a minor.”
The girls were speechless. What an awesome reason.
Claire was unhappy. “That doesn’t give you the right to do whatever you want. The judge can still send you to juvie. Why would you bet on that chance?”
Mindy stared at her like she was an idiot.
Claire squirmed uncomfortably. “What? Did I say something wrong?” Mindy crossed her arms and glanced at her. “My father is rich, and I’m a minor. So, if I insist that they wanted to a.s.sault me, do you think the judge would send them to jail or come after me?”
The girls were lost for words. So, having money and being a minor wasn’t for protecting herself, but for s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g other people over?
For a moment, the shortest person in the room seemed to exude a strong sense of tyranny.
This was someone with money and a black heart. Don’t provoke her!
Even though Mindy had to tilt her head to look at Claire, it didn’t affect her aura. “Besides, if Batman can fight, why can’t I?”
Claire tried one last time. “But you’re not Batman.”
Mindy curled her lip and didn’t say anything else, but she gloated inwardly. How can I tell you that Batman is my teammate?
Listening to them, Selina couldn’t help but slip into the kitchen to repeat the conversation to Luke.
Then, she asked, “Doesn’t it feel like Mindy’s thinking is a little crooked?”
A small knife spun in Luke’s hand as he handled the ingredients casually. Instantly, a few carrots were turned into cubes. “That’s a reasonable use of her own resources and rules. It should be encouraged.” Selina: “Huh?”
“It depends on the nature of things.” Luke picked up a celery stalk, and the knife flew again. “It depends on how the situation develops. The hooligans indeed won’t go easy on her as a minor to begin with, so there’s nothing wrong with her launching a counterattack. Secondly, her father is rich. What’s wrong with spending money to put hooligans in jail?”
Selina chuckled. “You’re really good at finding a balance. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be traumatized?”
Putting the chopped parsley aside, Luke picked up an onion, and the knife flashed again. “Mindy looked for her dad to clean up the mess. Claire has us. In essence, there’s not much difference between their choices. Even if Claire hadn’t done anything back then, hooligans like that would still get their three limbs broken in the end.”
Selina was silent for a moment before she nodded. “Sure enough, rich people do things simply.”
Luke nodded and said, “So, you need to learn how to use money to deal with some of the trifles.”
Selina looked at him strangely. “Didn’t I give you full authority to handle all of that?”.
Luke paused, turned around, and stared at her for a moment before he slowly nodded. “You’re 30% as good as I am. Keep working hard.”
“Hehe, really?” Selina was delighted. “It feels great to pa.s.s the buck.”
Luke chuckled.
In any case, he could always delegate things to someone else with one phone call.
There were always a lot of employees in this world who wanted to make money.
They had a BBQ on the roof, and the girls ate to their hearts’ content.
However, given that Monica and Claire had to drive and couldn’t drink, Luke refused to give everyone beer. That was the only downside.
Claire tried sneaking Luke’s beer out of his hand, but failed.
This gathering was much more relaxing than other activities the girls had partic.i.p.ated in.
Even Stacy was infected by everyone’s mood and didn’t look as wary as ever. Claire and Mindy still snarked at each other every now and then, but everybody could tell that they weren’t enemies, but were actually on the same wavelength.
Both of them were straightforward.
Mindy was a little obnoxious, but not to the point of being repulsive; she was just a little eccentric at most.
Mindy left Claire dumbstruck again and again, but with Gold Nugget no. 2 offering a different perspective, Claire figured a lot of things out.
The party ended at half past eight, and Nikki and Monica drove home.
Mindy, on the other hand, got into Claire’s car.
Claire’s house was only a few hundred meters away from Mindy’s, and it was on the way.
After the two cars left, Luke shook his head with a smile. “I’ll let you two off for a few days.”
