Chapter 678: Sisterly Love
Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Sisterly Love
“Our family’s servants, when they go out, are considered superior to other people’s. Not to mention you guys, who doesn’t act polite and courteous to our Butler Howard and Aunt Evans, even if they scold you, you can’t dare to talk back.”
Christy Xenos didn’t expect Old Madam to be so protective of her subordinates, even including Aunt Evans.
Seeing her skeptical look, Old Madam said, “You are newcomers and don’t understand the Belfard families’ situations or have interacted with them. This time I won’t bother with you all. I think Wendy Clarke is quite capable, since she even managed to find out about our family mansion. She will naturally be able to find out the attitudes of others towards Butler Howard and Aunt Evans.”
Having said that, Old Madam turned around and comforted Aunt Evans, “Don’t bother with them, they just don’t understand.”
When Christy heard this, she was dumbfounded. According to Old Madam, were they the ones who were being impolite?
Did they still have to please a mere servant like Aunt Evans?
Old Madam asked Aunt Evans, “Why did you suddenly come out?”
Aunt Evans hurried to reply, “The food is almost ready.”
With that, Old Madam said to the three members of the Clarke Family, “Since it’s time for dinner, we should eat, and we won’t keep you any longer. You all should find somewhere to eat.”
It was as if the three of them wanted to stay at the family mansion and beg for a meal.
Christy wanted to say something, but Wendy pulled her up.
Wendy said, “In that case, we’ll take our leave first. Today was an unfortunate visit, especially without giving prior notice. Next time, we’ll definitely let you know in advance.”
This way, there would be nothing to criticize about their visit to the family mansion, right?
Wendy was being a bit clever with her words.
She took the initiative to arrange the next meeting herself.
“Cindy Clarke, what’s your family mansion’s phone number? I’ll take a note.” Wendy said with a smile, taking out her mobile phone to record the information.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a person who has a smiling face. Cindy had no reason or excuse to refuse her.
‘The family mansion’s phone number is not available to anyone,’ Cindy responded with a hint of sarcasm. ‘You’re not qualified enough.’
“You say even the in-laws aren’t qualified?” Christy’s voice suddenly rose.
“Not qualified,” Cindy bluntly replied.
“You!” Christy, infuriated, glared at Cindy, her eyes bulging like copper bells.
What use was this girl to her!
She had married into the Zhekova Family, but couldn’t bring any benefits to them.
Instead, she looked down on them along with the Zhekova Family.
Cindy married into such a powerful family but didn’t care about them at all.
This useless thing!
No wonder she didn’t like Cindy.
Such a heartless and ungrateful girl, never thinking about the family and looking down on her maternal family.
How could Christy be nice to Cindy?
“You don’t need to take down the family mansion’s phone number,” Old Madam said coldly. “Anyway, no matter when you contact or visit us, it’s not convenient for us.”
“Don’t blame me for being impolite,” Old Madam continued with an indifferent tone, addressing the three Clarkes with a superior attitude.
“It’s your own shamelessness that has caused my impolite response. I can’t be bothered with manners when it comes to shameless people. If I do, that would simply make me a fool. Do I look like a fool to you?”
Old Madam spoke very rudely to Christy.
How could Christy dare to call Old Madam a fool?
She felt as if Old Madam’s gaze penetrated her like a sieve, and she couldn’t help but tremble.
Never in her wildest dreams did Christy think that Old Madam, at her age, could still have such sharp eyes.
Usually, old ladies her age would have sagging eyelids, covering half of their eyes.
Not like Old Madam, with her bright and spirited gaze, stern as a blade when she was serious.
Old Madam didn’t want to keep talking with these three and shouted, “Butler Howard, see them out!”
Butler Howard approached at a leisurely pace, coldly saying to the three Clarkes, “Please.”
Wendy looked at Cindy and said, “Cindy Clarke, aren’t you going to see me off?”
If Old Madam had her way, it would be time to eat, so why should Cindy see them off? That would delay her meal, wouldn’t it?
See them off for what?
After a slight hesitation, Cindy nodded and said, “Alright.”
Adrian Zhekova hearing this, said, “I’ll go with you.”
Before Cindy could speak, Wendy quickly said, “I have some private sisterly matters to discuss with Cindy alone. Master Adrian, if you’re present, there will be many things I won’t be able to say to her.”
“We haven’t seen each other for many years, and I have a lot to tell Cindy. However, we are both busy, so it might be difficult to find a mutually convenient time to meet especially.”
“Now that this family mansion is big enough, the distance from here to the entrance, though not enough to fully catch up on what happened during these years, should suffice for a bit. For now, it will alleviate the feelings between us sisters who haven’t seen each other in a long time.”
Wendy smiled playfully, saying, “Master Adrian, you and Cindy don’t have to be so inseparable that you can’t be apart for a moment, right?”
Cindy squeezed Adrian’s hand and said sarcastically, “I’ll be right back. I want to hear what sisterly emotions Wendy has for me and see how far we can walk from here to the entrance with this sisterly bond.”
Adrian nodded, not worried about what Wendy might do to Cindy while they were there.
This was the Zhekova family’s territory, and if Cindy got hurt by her family there, then the Zhekova Family really would be useless.
Moreover, there were bodyguards guarding the path, so he wasn’t worried about anything happening to Cindy.
So Cindy led the three Clarkes out.
“What sisterly emotions do you want to talk about?” As soon as they left the Main Hall, Cindy immediately asked.
She didn’t have the mood to perform some deep sisterly bond drama with Wendy.
Wendy was unaware of the presence of bodyguards within the family mansion.
Remaining cautious even after leaving the Main Hall and walking some distance away, Wendy finally spoke, “Cindy Clarke, it seems that we didn’t have time to make things clear when we met last time, so you didn’t understand.”
“You think that because you married into the Zhekova Family, we can’t do anything to you? You think that now that you’re the Young Madam of the Zhekova Family, you can treat us however you want without fear or respect?”
Cindy thought that she never seemed to have put Wendy in her eyes, right?
What gave Wendy the illusion that it was only recently that Cindy stopped regarding her?
“What exactly do you want to say?” Cindy looked at Wendy.
Wendy’s words seemed to imply that she had some kind of hold over Cindy.
Wendy didn’t answer Cindy’s question, but instead looked around for a while before asking her, “Your son isn’t here? It’s not appropriate for you to go on a date with Adrian and then go to the family mansion for dinner without your son, is it?”
With this, Wendy’s suspicions were further confirmed.
