"No, you're lying to me! You don't have any other women around you, you spend all your time and energy on me. I'm the closest to you, so you must like me. You're just afraid to admit it!"

Carlos had initially planned to end this misunderstanding gently, but he realized it was difficult to communicate with Penelope. Seeing her completely self-absorbed, Carlos knew he had to be harsher for her to understand.

"Just because I don't have other women doesn't mean I have to like you, Penelope. Wake up. You're just my student. I will have other students in the future. You are not the first!"

"I don't believe you. I know you're worried that people will gossip about our relationship. I'll drop out of school, so we won't be teacher and student anymore. Penelope, repeatedly rejected, had gone mad. She had thought that with her successful performance today. Carlos would be moved by her excellence. Everyone said that Carlos treated her exceptionally well, in ways no other teacher would. How could he look at her so tenderly and not like her?

But in the next moment, Carlos shattered her hopes. He suddenly said coldly, "If you drop out, then we will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Penelope was stunned. It was the first time Carlos had treated her so coldly. Her barely-held-together emotions completely broke down, and she started crying.

She suddenly realized and said, "I get it. You just want to use my talent to boost your own sense of achievement. Fine, Carlos, let's make a deal. If we are together, I'll keep singing for you. I'll be your genius singer, making the world notice you as an excellent teacher! But if you reject me, I'll ruin my voice. I won't sing anymore!"

Carlos was truly shocked. He had thought Penelope was just sharp-tempered, which he didn't mind in a girl as it made her less likely to be bullied. Now faced with the real issue, he saw her character flaws, realizing how hard it was to communicate with her, He used to think she was a pitiful child when she had a huge conflict with her family, but now...

It seemed he had been blinded by her talent. In the future, he'd need to be more discerning when taking on students.

Carlos was very sad and disappointed by Penelope's crazy behavior. Despite his initial fondness for his first student, he knew he had to end it decisively.

"So singing means so little to you. It's your life, so don't use it to threaten me." Carlos said coldly, "You performed well today and should have plenty of offers. Find someone else to guide you. I don't need you to prove that I can teach well."

Penelope's face went pale instantly. She hadn't expected to be abandoned by Carlos.

She suddenly rushed forward and hugged Carlos tightly before giving him a forceful kiss.

Carlos was shocked and quickly pushed her away. Wearing high heels, Penelope stumbled backward. Seeing the makeup mirror behind her, Carlos reacted quickly, protecting her head and falling on top of

her.

Despite the circumstances, Penelope tried to grab Carlos collar to kiss him again.

At this moment, the door opened.

"Carlos, we've been waiting too long... Ah, are we interrupting?" Christopher's voice came through.

Behind him, Rosalie and Isabella were curiously peeking in.

Naturally, this was because of Isabella's inner monologue saying that Carlos was being taken advantage of. which had alarmed Christopher and Rosalie.

Christopher immediately stood up, saying he thought he heard something unusual, and went to check.

So, the trio made a dramatic entrance, likely earning Penelope's hatred.

Their interruption made Penelope lose her chance and gave Carlos a chance to push her away. He was trembling with anger, turning to leave. "There's no need to contact me again!" Ignoring Penelope's calls, he left.
