Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1246

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1218: Who is So Mysterious Chapter 1246: Chapter 1218: Who is So Mysterious “I didn't talk about the child, I was referring to the child's mother. I observed that she was mentally drained, her tone urgent, constantly swallowing saliva and twice she pressed her hand against her throat. When I shook hands with her, her palms were sweaty too. This is likely due to anxiety from the exhaustion of taking care of the child.”

Edward Wheeler had intended to put Kiara in her place, but who knew this little girl would be so formidable, deftly avoiding his heavy blow and returning one of her own!

If she had given a standard response about the child, it would have seemed too unoriginal, especially since Edward Wheeler had already given a comprehensive answer. However, she was able to extend the discussion to the mother's issue, which was extraordinary.

“Then why didn't you mention that earlier?”

“First, I hate nepotism, and second, I especially hate nepotism when I'm not getting paid for it.”

How refreshing! Edward Wheeler quickly suppressed the liking he had begun to feel for this girl–no way, he had to maintain his distaste for her, simply because the old man liked her so much!

“Well, it's passable,” he said, purposely speaking ironically.

Kiara didn't mind and sighed with relief inwardly. From Edward Wheeler's gaze, she realized that she would need to work even harder to cultivate a good relationship with her fellow senior brother in the same field.

Gaining the recognition of an authority in one's field isn't achieved with smooth talk; it requires genuine talent to be convincing. The first time she didn't respond was because she wasn't one hundred percent confident and deliberately modest; her second response was because she was certain, taking him by surprise.

In this invisible exchange, Kiara had impressed Edward Wheeler with her command of the situation. If she didn't have that special relationship with Yuzo Joel, and she was just an ordinary apprentice to him, Edward Wheeler might have developed a liking for his little junior sister–at the very least, she was a hundred times smarter than the glutton Aka!

As Edward Wheeler pondered, he heard Kiara asking.

“I've been pondering a question: whether people are innately good or whether one's character is shaped by one's family background. We psychologists have always emphasized that a child's character is directly related to parental education in their childhood, which is part of the 'original family' theory I often used earlier.”

When Kiara treated patients, she often followed a principle that ninety percent of an adult's psychological issues could be traced back to childhood experiences, but recently she began to have her doubts.

“So what do you think now?”

“After interacting with so many children, I've seen that even an infant has his own personality. Where does this personality come from? If you say it's inherited, it's not entirely true either, as some children are different from their parents.”

Edward Wheeler's eyes flashed with surprise at her words.

Edward Wheeler's IQ was certainly not below Kiara's, and in terms of talent, he was even more gifted than her. Kiara's excellent performance was related to her past life experiences, but Edward Wheeler was a natural-born genius.

He suddenly understood. The old man introducing her to the knowledge about infants wasn't just for Kiara's happiness during her pregnancy; it was definitely also to lay the groundwork for Kiara's background. Edward Wheeler was unaware of how long the old man's expectations were, but he could see that Kiara's response speed must have exceeded the old man's expectations.

Kiara's next statement made Edward Wheeler's skin crawl.

“While some people are willing to attribute a child's innate traits to the spiritual realm, I prefer to interpret this issue from a scientific point of view. Senior Brother, what do you think?”

Kiara had asked her question, but for quite a while, she received no response from Edward Wheeler. It wasn't until she called him “Senior Brother” again that Edward Wheeler came back to his senses.

“That… I can't tell you too much at the moment, but you can delve into it yourself. At Seven-Acre Farm, we have a branch that specializes in the mysticism of the Classic of Changes. If you run into Auntie later on, you could discuss it with her, and perhaps she will provide you an answer from the Classic of Changes.”

“The Classic of Changes? Isn't that the ultimate philosophical work for understanding the laws of the universe? How is that related to us?” Kiara knew that studying traditional Chinese medicine required an understanding of the Classic of Changes, but she had not anticipated that Psychiatry would also have a connection with it.

“`
“Of course, there's a connection. Auntie is a doctor of philosophy, and she's one of the first in the Domestic Region to receive a doctoral degree. Her specialty is the Eastern philosophical system, with a particular focus on 'Classic of Changes' studies. However, she has retired and it's not easy to see her. If you ever get the chance to meet her, this question would be more appropriate to discuss with her,”
“Who is so mysterious?” Kiara accorded respect upon hearing about one of the first doctors of the Domestic Region, knowing that in that era, when the college entrance exam had just been restored, even university students were considered precious, let alone doctors.

“Sonya Cornelle, that's our Auntie.”

“…Who?!”

“Sonya Cornelle, a very formidable philosophy professor who has now retired. It's said she's cultivating in some mountain, and by the way, don't ever mention this name in front of Old Man. You bring it up once, and he'll blow his top every time.”

Even though Farmbright Farmer wasn't very fond of Kiara, he still informed her of some of the taboos of their sect.

Kiara was stunned upon hearing this name.

Sonya Cornelle… isn't that Olivia Brown's Master?!

This really confirmed the theory: in this world, you're only six degrees of separation from everyone else; to think that after all this roundabout, there was such a connection!

Who would have thought that Olivia Brown's master, the old sage living on a mountain, would have this connection with Yuzo Joel? Kiara was even more surprised to learn that Olivia Brown's master was actually one of the first female doctors!

From a sage to a philosophy doctor, how deeply moving this was–it was enough to completely shatter one's worldview.

After finishing work, Mario Yuno had planned to go Home, but received a call from Kiara saying she had gone over to Olivia Brown's place, so Mario Yuno drove there too.

Olivia Brown and Kiara's pregnancies were not much different in terms of timing; Olivia Brown didn't show much yet either. She was quite happy to see Kiara and dragged her and Giorno to play poker with them.

When Mario Yuno arrived, Giorno had his face covered in penalty stickers.

“Edward, you've come at the perfect time. Quickly take over for a couple of rounds for me,” Giorno exclaimed with the look of seeing a savior upon seeing Mario Yuno.

To keep the two pregnant women happy, he dared not win. He racked his brains to lose, calculating his moves to let the women win without being too obvious, as that could affect their mood.

So seeing Mario Yuno arriving made Giorno decidedly happy. Mario Yuno's brain was like a computer; he would surely be able to play his cards with ease.

Pity for Giorno, his plan went awry. Camden had a high IQ but low EQ.

He didn't have the sly intentions Giorno had to let the pregnant women win deliberately. Giorno calculated how to play, and Camden did too, but Camden's calculations weren't about letting others win; he was in it to win for himself. Not only did he use his memory to track the cards, but he shamelessly utilized his hand speed to switch and cut the deck, winning until the two pregnant women lost all their good humour. Seeing he was about to win again, Kiara pushed away the cards.

“What time is it already, aren't you going to cook! Go and cook, we'll eat dinner here at Olivia Brown's. I've already bought the groceries, you cooks!”

Giorno lamented sympathetically at Mario Yuno; it seemed Edward still didn't understand a woman's heart. Look how clever he was, knowing to let the two women win.

“Giorno, you should help too; don't let my brother do all the work alone,” Olivia Brown's words forced a bitter smile from Giorno.

Ah, having a high EQ doesn't help either. Isn't he still kicked over to be the cook?
