Chapter 1529: Chapter 1501 The World Will Not Change for One Person

What seemed like a major issue to others was casually brushed off by Kiara as if she were saying something as simple as "no work, no food." She had a unique way of simplifying complex emotional hurdles that others found insurmountable.

Molly Palmer noticed that whenever she was with Kiara, she struggled to keep up with the conversation. Kiara’s leaps in thought were almost too swift to follow.

"Aren’t you afraid of me...?"

"How many times have you lost to me already? Why would I be afraid of you?" Kiara patted her shoulder, "Of course, there’s no first in culture and no second in martial arts, but considering how young you are now, it’s not impossible for you to surpass me. Work hard on your business skills, and when you do overtake me, I’ll even give you a raise. Think about it, doesn’t that fill your life with sunshine?"

Molly looked at Kiara, feeling a mix of bitter sweetness and helplessness.

"I’ve contracted a contagious disease... How can you be so nonchalant?"

"Eliminating prejudice and barriers is an important sign of progress in human society, but it’s human instinct to reject what differs from oneself. Therefore, some people look down on homosexuals, some discriminate against the disabled, and others shy away from infectious diseases. Fundamentally, all these prejudices stem from the fear of the unknown. This is the most elementary logic that every psychiatrist should grasp—aren’t you aware of this?"

"I know, but I..."

"Healers find it hard to heal themselves, right? Do you know why I offered you this opportunity? I recognize your professional skills—that’s one reason—but there’s another very important reason. I believe you’re not beyond redemption. Fox Cat has made precise evaluations of all JR members; your actions may not align with those of a good person, but you’re not an utterly evil villain either."

"I’m not a bad person?" She sometimes felt what she had done was too excessive, especially towards her own twin sister.

"When I was younger, I thought the world was black and white and people were either good or bad, but as I grew up, I realized there are gray areas and people are complex. This understanding became clearer after becoming a psychologist. Tracing human instincts, even the worst folks have some good in them, and the best have dark sides unknown to others. Apart from a minority born with genetic defects, most people are multifaceted, like you."

"Me?"

"In an unstable state, you become what your environment is. You were like that at JR, and maybe here with us, you’ll be different. I’ve given you the chance; the choice is yours to make."

"I... I can’t do it, others will discriminate against me if they find out."

"If you keep dwelling on that, I’ll dock your pay. The world doesn’t change according to your perceptions; it’s always been this cold and cruel. The torture of fate might strike any day, just as you’ve never understood why you were the one who got sick. You can’t change the world, only accept it. If you care, it affects you; if you don’t, it’s as if it doesn’t exist. I particularly like the perspective of our Sage, Michael Wong: ’Outside the mind, nothing exists.’"

"Outside the mind, nothing exists?"

"Yes, no matter how vast, the world is but a reflection of your own mind. What you perceive the world to be, it becomes. If there’s discrimination outside and you choose to ignore it, then it doesn’t exist. If you like something, it exists for you; if you hate it and don’t think about it, what does it have to do with you?"

As these words were spoken, Molly felt a lot clearer on many things, but when she thought about the constraints of JR, she lamented.

"I’m grateful for your help when I needed it, but I can’t join you right now; my revenge isn’t complete yet."

"The revenge that needed to be taken has been taken, right? If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already taken action. If he’s meant to fall ill, he will, even if the tests need time and haven’t detected it yet. But it’s unnecessary for you to go back right now; it won’t be safe for you."

"How do you... know everything?" Molly felt even more that Kiara was enigmatic, grasping everything at the mere onset of the conversation.

"How else could I be a wicked capitalist? I spend the time you all use for pulling calves pondering over people. If everyone in the world were perfect, we’d have utopia, and what use would there be for psychiatrists? Come on, don’t go back. I’ll start paying you from this month, even though I can’t offer you a high base salary for now... considering how deep in debt I am. But if you do a good job with Fox Cat and make our overseas market thrive, I won’t let you down!"

In the end, Mrs. Kiara felt a bit guilty about her white wolf tactics, finding success entirely through sweet talk...

"Aren’t you afraid... I’ll mess up your business? Aren’t you afraid I’ll infect your employees?"

"Would you?" Kiara asked.

"No..."

She wasn’t a good person, but she wasn’t depraved enough to harm those who had shown her understanding. Of course, Molly also didn’t think she would ever harm a colleague, especially not those intelligent enough to work alongside Emma Clark.

"That’s why I’m not worried. And don’t go back to JR. Thomas Norris, without his little brother now, is in a rage; you returning would only make you his punching bag. If you end up being tormented to death, Aka would come crying to me again, giving me a headache..."

Could there really be someone else who cared about her? Molly was deeply moved by Kiara’s words.

"Let me repeat, ’Outside the mind, nothing exists.’ Sometimes in life, we need to learn to compromise with the world, shut out the bad and accept the good. Open your heart wider and you’ll feel more joy—today’s wisdom is a freebie for you; I won’t charge you for it."

"You even thought of charging me?!"

Kiara was dead serious, "Of course, most of our treatment is just talking, and that costs money!"

"So that’s why Young Boss called you a wicked capitalist."

She was undeniably an outstanding businesswoman. To let go of grudges and accept someone like her, Molly was now confident in Kiara—that it would be challenging for someone like her not to succeed. She was impressed!

"Being a boss, you have to be somewhat evil to the outside world or you’re failing your employees. I have many people to support." Kiara reflected on her responsibilities; earning more and paying taxes, providing jobs, and fostering talent to alleviate many mental health issues—she was moved by her own sentiments.

"You only have three employees now, right?"

And one’s still at school and can’t take on work, and another was almost roped into wearing a promotional tee shirt at a loss...

"Once you join, I’ll have many employees..." Kiara flashed a sly smile, "Of course, I won’t go back on my word about commissions. Hurry up with the recruiting; our success overseas depends on you guys."

Mrs. Kiara spent less than 10 minutes with Molly, but those 10 minutes had a significant impact on JR.
