Lisa gave Jean a bottle of water. "You're so naive. I guess she bullied you a lot when you were young. We're all adults now. Even though you're sisters, I think you should keep a distance from her.
I'm telling you this because you are my friend. If you think I'm being reasonable, then you should listen to me. But if you think I'm wrong, then you can forget what I just said. Just remember to stay away from her. Otherwise, you'll suffer in the end."
"Lisa, I..." Jean sighed and looked down. "I know that you're doing this for me. So, I shall consider your suggestion."
"That's good." Lisa nodded, pleased with Jean's response. "Let's eat."
Jean lowered her head and silently ate her food. In the afternoon, she rested for a while before heading home.
She had to think about how she was going to deal with Julia next.
When she arrived home, she overheard Sherry gossiping with another maid. "I tried to clean Miss Gu's room yesterday, but she drove me out. I was so scared. What do you think happened to Mrs. and Mr. Chen? Why did he allow such a vile woman to live here?"
"You're right." The maid she was talking to shook her head. "Mrs. Chen never complained about the food I made. But, this Miss Gu is totally different. She dislikes us, and whatever I cook doesn't seem to suit her appetite. My salary has already been deducted three times this month. If this keeps on happening, how will I support my family?"
"Yes, you're right." Sherry sighed helplessly. "I can't believe Mrs. Chen divorced Mr. Chen, just so he can live with this woman. Even if they aren't married yet, she's already so confident in becoming the hostess. If they do get married, we'll certainly have a hard time."
"Yes." The maid wore a worried expression. "I don't think we'll be employed anymore. Since I can't serve her, I've already asked the agency to help me find another job. I will leave as soon as I find another job. You better plan as early as now."
"You are right." Sherry let out a deep breath and pursed her lips. "It's a pity that Mrs. Chen is in difficulty herself. Otherwise, I'm going to work for her."
Jean didn't care that the maids were talking about her. However, she felt irritated when she heard them call Julia "Mrs. Chen."
Although her sister formerly married to Terence, it was supposed to remain in the past. She was the one who was living here now and she would definitely become the future Mrs. Chen and the hostess of this house.
Jean felt the need for them to understand this.
If they refused to realize this, then she should have everyone replaced.
"Ahem!" Jean cleared her throat to show them that she was home. When she entered the room, the maids pretended to clean, as if nothing had just happened.
"Miss Gu, you're back." Sherry walked over and politely asked, "Will you having dinner here tonight? What dishes do we need to prepare?"
"No, thanks," Jean said indifferently. "I won't have dinner here, so don't prepare anything."
