“Then you might as well go back to your old job.”

The arrogance in Addie’s eyes morphed instantly, as she stared blankly at the staff member across the counter, her expression desolate.

The staff member quickly filled out a form and set it aside before calling out, “Next!”

Addie sat immobile on the chair. It was the woman behind her, also seeking employment, who gently nudged her. “Excuse me, ma’am, could you please move? It’s my turn to fill out the form…”

The woman spoke with an air of honesty and caution. She wasn’t oblivious to who Addie was. In this day and age, one had to be able to read. With smartphones and the internet, almost everyone could navigate the online world. Even the old hand–me–down phones from their children were somewhat usable for these women c2

News was everywhere online. Even without actively searching, they could still see it. Addie’s face was as recognizable as it was during the press conferences. She was easy to identify

But just because Addie was a nasty character, didn’t mean she had to stoop to that level. She lowered her voice as much as possible, not wanting to provoke Addie

Despite this, Addie suddenly stood up from her chair, forcefully pushed the woman away, and slapped the spot the woman had touched. With a sharp and disgusted voice, she sneered, “Why did you touch me! Don’t you know how dirty you are?! Disgusting! Country bumpkin, just as ! thought, poor, crass, and filthy!”

The woman was pushed aside. She was taken aback by Addie’s words, and her face was flushed with embarrassment. She quickly glanced at her clothes, they were old but clean. The clothes were faded due to frequent washing. She wasn’t dirty. She was just a simple country woman, unsure how to react to Addie’s sharp and merciless words.

“What’s all the fuss about?! Fill up the form and go find a place to wait! Do you think you can do whatever you want here?!”

The staff member, dealing with these country women on a daily basis, was somewhat impatient. But upon encountering the arrogant Addie, he couldn’t help but lose his temper.

Addie turned her head to give the staff member a fierce glare. “The form is already filled out. I hope you can arrange a job for me immediately. Staying in this place for a long time is like slow suicide. What kind of low–life place is this!”

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the woman from the country, her eyes full of contempt.

“People like you can’t even take care of themselves, and you want to take care of others? I fear you would pollute the air in their homes!” Addie had been holding back her frustration all afternoon, looking for an outlet. Now, the woman was her target.

“What kind of job are you looking for?”

Before Addie’s sharp voice had a chance to fade, a young woman in professional attire suddenly appeared in front of them, asking the red–faced woman, whose eyes were filled with tears.

Startled, the woman looked at her fearfully. “What?”

“What kind of job are you looking for? The young woman asked again, patiently

The woman looked at her, who was clearly wealthy from her city attire, quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and straightened up to answer, “1 can do anything Babysitting, cleaning, cooking, washing dishes…”

Addie scoffed, “Cooking? Washing dishes? Who knows if the food you make would even be edible…

“Alright. I’ll give you fifteen hundred dollars, come with me.” Before Addie could finish speaking, the young woman spoke indifferently.

Addie was taken aback. “Are you kidding me? You’re giving her fifteen hundred dollars? What can she do?”

The young woman ignored her completely and went straight to the counter to handle the woman’s paperwork.

The woman snapped out of her daze and hastily approached, asking, “Miss, what do you want me to do? Where should I work? L…”

She knew she didn’t have anything valuable to be scammed, yet, she still felt a twinge of fear.

The young woman had smoothly completed the procedures, and she said casually, “The Harper family. You’re to take care of the old man of the Harper family”

Standing aside with a disgruntled expression, Addie instantly lifted her head at her words. “What did you say?! Allowing this lowly woman to care for Mr. Presley, had she gone mad?

The woman still didn’t spare her a glance, “Three months trial period, after which, the salary will be doubled accordingly.”

Doubled? Fifteen thousand doubled, wouldn’t that be thirty thousand? The mere thought of this number made the woman jump in shock, as she quickly shook her head in refusal. “No, no, no, I can’t take that much money I just do a little work. I should be paid accordingly. This salary is too high… I… I don’t know…”

The young woman smiled. “It’s alright. We’ll discuss it later. Maybe you won’t even pass the trial period, right?”

The woman finally nodded. “I’ll try my best.”

“Alright, get your stuff and come with me.”

“Yes, yes, alright!” The woman quickly agreed, excitedly.

“Hold on!”

As the young woman was about to leave, Addie suddenly stopped her, striding up to her and examining her before asking. “Who are you, exactly? By what right are you hiring for the Harper family? I’ve never seen you before? You even hire country bumpkins, do you have a discerning eye…” “Anyone is better than you, Addie. You don’t have the right to question the Harper family’s hiring decisions, especially not now. You have no right to interfere in any of the Harper family’s affairs. I suggest you understand your current situation. What gives you the right to act so recklessly!” The woman finally stopped, her cold eyes on Addie, then she continued, “As for why I have the right to hire for the Harper family? It seems that in all these years, relying on Mr. Harper’s trust, you have forgotten that Harper Mansion has a real mistress, Alyssa. If not, why don’t you ask Alyssa herself why she can hire staff for the mansion?”

Addie’s face went deathly pale. “Alyssa…”

Yes! She had forgotten! Presley had married.

But…

“I just left the Harper’s Mansion not long ago. How could she

“Yeah, even though she didn’t particularly like you, you were indeed favored by the old man? She thought of giving you a taste of the bitterness of life‘…

“Since you regreted and reflected on your errors, knowing your mistakes, she decided to let it go. How many years does a person have in a lifetime? If the old man likes you, at most you’d serve him a few more years, but alas… you never learn…”
