Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 275

"Helen, is your training usually this tough?"

"Not at all," she replied spontaneously and with genuine emotion, surprising even herself.

I just smiled and kept silent.

The food here was abundant, with a focus on dairy products. Helen and I had a stroll around the food area, and surprisingly, no one competed with us for the goodies. The high society ladies were all busy eyeing the jewelry section, snapping up their favorites while leaving the rest for the auction.

Helen lifted my veil and sneakily fed me a spoonful of cheese, "Eat up, you'll need the energy to outbid them tonight."

To them, the million-dollar jewelry pieces might as well have been cabbages at a grocery market—they were that insignificant.

As we were indulging, I noticed a few people seemingly mocking us.

Chattering in a language I couldn't understand.

I was clueless, but Helen, with her military expertise, understood them. She put down her food, stepped in front of me, and glared at them before saying something that made them sheepishly walk away.

I clapped, "I had no idea you were this formidable, Helen."

She sheepishly touched her head, "Mr. Hilton spent some time here back in the day, and I picked up a few things."

Back in the day? Before or after meeting me? But it didn't matter anymore. I realized Max was like the perfect man from the novels.

Helen pulled out a translator device from her pocket and placed it in my ear, "Mr. Hilton told me to wait until the auction starts to give this to you, so you wouldn't be bothered by trivial chatter. But I think, given your nature, you should listen to how fierce the competition among women in this country is. It could help you better support your sister."
