Chapter 1122

Elizabeth had been holding back her anger for a while, and Wendy’s words just gave her the perfect chance to let it all out. She seized the opportunity to vent her fury with everything she’d got..

Chloe almost burst out laughing. That was spot on!

Addie’s expression kept changing. Anyone who was not a complete idiot would have realized that Elizabeth’s words were directed straight at Addie! A few servants exchanged glances, then lowered their heads and fell silent again.

Addie’s face turned extremely awkward. Wendy was being scolded for no reason, and she too was at a loss. “Elizabeth, you…”

Addie, with teary eyes, grabbed Wendy, took a deep breath, and said, “Ms. Alonso, enough already. She’s mad at me. No matter how hard I try for this family, we servants are always the underdogs!”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Addie’s sob story.

Chloe was stone–cold. Seeing Elizabeth genuinely pissed off this time, she finally got up, and turned to Addie. She said coldly. “So what? Do you want to be part of our family? Your salary comes from us, and we cover your room and board. If we can’t get a return on our investment, why would we need you?”

Addie’s face turned sour, She stared at her, “You…”

“Chloe, Addie has been taking care of the Harper family and Presley with all her heart. How could she just be a simple servant? She earns and deserves her wages, doesn’t she?”

“That’s exactly what she deserves! She works, and we pay her! It’s as simple as that! Do we enjoy being mistreated or what, paying big bucks to have her here to give us a hard time?”

Wendy’s face turned sour. This woman…

“Addie has been working for the Harper family for over forty years…”

“That’s because she’s been paid by us for over forty years!” Chloe emphasized, then turned to Addie, who was feeling wronged, “Are you trying to use your seniority to take advantage here?”

Addie was truly awed by Chloe’s sharp tongue. She was left speechless by her powerful rhetoric.

Wendy suddenly realized something. She was here to be verbally abused by Chloe! Barely two minutes into their meeting, she was already being scolded. She’d say one sentence, no, half a sentence, and Chloe would fire back with ten.

“You…”

Not until Chloe paused for several seconds and the room fell into an awkward silence did she realize she needed to say something. After some thought she mumbled, “I understand you don’t like me, but that doesn’t mean you can take out your grudge on innocent people.”

Chloe laughed coldly, “From the moment you stepped through this door, have I said anything harsh to you?”

Wendy widened her eyes, thought about it, and it seemed she hadn’t. She looked at Elizabeth sitting on the couch, whose face darkened. Biting her lip she took a few seconds to organize her thoughts; recalling her mother’s advice, she decided to be polite. “I mean no harm. I’ve spent a lot of time with the Harper family since I was a kid, and Addie has always taken good care of me. So I might favor her a bit. But regardless, Chloe, you’re holding a grudge. Addie has been with the

Harper family for many years, and no one has ever treated her like this. There are things she already understands. There’s no need for her to be lectured by us youngsters…”

She understood some things?

Chloe sneered silently. What things did she understand? That Wendy was the future lady of the Harper family?

Chloe kept her cool on the surface, her tone was calm and harmless, “If things aren’t too much, I can compromise, but everyone should know their place! How others see you is their business. If I treat you like a servant, but you insist on acting like you’re the lady of the house. The result is that you’re unhappy with me, and I find you irritating! This resentment will grow, and I still have the power to deal with you!”

Addie was so angry she was speechless. That last line was meant to provoke her, wasn’t it?

Elizabeth finally took a deep breath. Seeing Chloe scold someone into silence was very satisfying. She stood up, her gloomy face gradually cleared up, she strutted around and wrapped up the matter.

“Chloe is right!”

Addie was in tears but didn’t dare say anything more. Wendy led her to a sunny corner outside the villa.

“Addie, I’m sorry. I just can’t get along with Chloe, and I’m sure I’m partly to blame for how she treated you today. I’m the one who got you into this mess.”

Wiping away her tears, Addie grabbed Wendy’s hand with fervor. “I understand you. I watched you grow up. of course, I know how you feel about Damon. If it wasn’t for Chloe showing up out of nowhere, you’d definitely be Damon’s partner. Ms. Alonso, you still can’t let go of Damon?”

Hearing Addie say this, a bitter smile appeared on Wendy’s face. “Addie….how can I just let go… my only dream since I was a kid was to be with Damon one day. All these years, that hasn’t changed. When I found out Damon was suddenly with her, I’m heartbroken…”

Her feelings for Damon were real, and so were years of anticipation. Expressing her heartbreak unavoidably revealed her true feelings.

Addie looked at her sympathetically, gently patting Wendy’s hand, “It’s a shame I can’t do anything for you…”

Wendy suddenly clutched Addie’s hand, her eyes filled with despair. “Addie, I don’t want to give up Damon just like that…”

“Huh?” Addie looked at Wendy in surprise…

Walking into the house, Addie quietly approached Elizabeth and respectfully asked, “Mrs. Harper, what time is dinner? So I can prepare in time.” But Elizabeth didn’t look at her, instead turning to Chloe, who was trimming the branches of a plant nearby, and asked, “Chloe, is Damon working late tonight? About what time will he be back?”

“No special arrangements have been mentioned, so he should be back at his usual time.”
