Chapter 288 The Rogarios' Rules
Stephanie frowned slightly. "Ryder, is there really someone named Pule in the family?"
s
Ryder thought for a moment before answering in a low voice, "Yes, Madam, there is someone by that
name.
"He was hired two months ago as a cook at the Ridge Road Villa."
Stephanie shook her head. "Alright, then. Let's wait here for him."
She glanced over at Robin, who was busy scrolling on his phone, then turned to Brenda. "You're Brenda, correct?"
Brenda stood up in excitement. "Yes, Madam, I've heard so much about you...
Stephanie gently took her hand and motioned for her to sit. "How old are you?"
Brenda nervously replied, "I'm 17."
"Seventeen, such a wonderful age," Stephanie said kindly, still holding her hand.
"Tell me, Brenda, do you want to go to university?"
Brenda was stunned. She'd never dared to dream of such a thing.
Tertiary education was for the wealthy.
She had been helping Marrisa with this small soup restaurant for years, without a thought of her own
future.
Robin nudged her. "You should be in school, not hanging around here."
"But... I..." Brenda stammered, feeling uncertain.
"No buts. You're going to school," Robin said, ruffling her hair.
Brenda looked at Stephanie nervously and nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to Robin."
Stephanie smiled. "Good. Ryder, contact Athena University and arrange for Brenda to attend there soon."
"Got it," Ryder responded.
"Ms. Brenda, please send me a photo of your ID later, and I'll handle the enrollment for you."
"What? Athena University?" Brenda gasped, her face filled with disbelief.
Athena University was the top university in Demberoa.
They were ranked around 30th in the world, known for admitting only the elite.
She couldn't even imagine attending such a prestigious place.

Stephanie was surprised at her reaction. "What's wrong, you don't like this university?"
"No, no, Madam! 1-1 just don't feel like I deserve a place there," Brenda replied.
s
Robin gave her a playful smack on the head. "Silly girl, of course, you deserve it. And don't even think of slacking off. I'll punish you if you don't study hard." "Alright, Brenda said, nodding, still dazed by this sudden turn of fortune.
Just then, a voice came from outside. "Move aside! Mr. Pule is here!"
Hugh hurried to the door, where a bald man in his late thirties swaggered into the restaurant.
It was Pule, a cook employed by the Rogarios.
As he entered, Hugh and Nico, along with the other lackeys greeted him respectfully.
"Good day, Mr. Pule!"
Pule lifted his head smugly.
Nico quickly lit a cigar for him.
Pule coughed as the thick smoke hit him after taking a puff.
"Now, what is it?" he grumbled. "I've got plenty to handle for the Underground Queen, and you're wasting my time,"
Hugh shoved a stack of cash into Pule's pocket.
"Mr. Pule, thank you for coming. There's this old hag here who claims to be from the Rogarios and demanded that you come. "We didn't want to bother you, but-"
Pule let out a booming laugh with his nose high in the air.
"Who's acting so bold here?
"Didn't you tell her about me?"
"We did tell her, but she didn't believe us!"
Nico led Pule to Stephanie.
He was surprised at the powerful presence of the sophisticated woman in front of him.
He'd never seen Terenova's legendary Underground Queen.
So, he managed to regain his composure after a pause.
"So, you're the one who wanted to see me?" he sneered
Stephanic ignored him.

Pule grew more arrogant at her silence. "Do you even know who I am? I'm Mr. Ryder, right-hand to the-"
In the middle of his bragging, he finally noticed Ryder standing beside Stephanie. "M-Mr. Ryder? What... what are you doing here?" Every member of the Rogarios knew that Ryder was always by Stephanie's side.
If Ryder was here, then this woman must be ...
Pule's heart sank as he took another look at Stephanie.
With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees.
Ryder's face darkened. "Pule, who gave you the nerve to use the Rogarios' name to fool people and throw your weight around?" Hugh and Nico were dumbfounded.
The high-ranking Rogarios man we had summoned was kneeling before this woman.
"P-Pule, did you mistake her for someone else?" Hugh stammered.
"You idiot, shut up!" Pule barked, glaring at them with hatred.
He turned back, pleading with Ryder, "Please, Mr. Ryder, forgive me! I'll never do it again ...'
"Are you clear about the Rogarios' rules?" Ryder's voice was icy.
"The punishment for flaunting the family's name and using Madam's reputation to bully others is drowning!"
