The woman raised her eyebrows as if she was not too happy with Dolores' attitude towards her.
“According to the family hierarchy, you should call me Aunt.”
Dolores really couldn't recall that she had ever met that woman, and as far as she knew, the Nelson family didn't have many relatives, let alone one who could make her call her “Aunt”.
The woman walked in without permission and said, “Pour me a glass of water.”
“Mrs. Nelson.” Coral pulled Dolores to the side and whispered by Dolores' ears, “That’s probably the wife of the old master's younger cousin, who is sterile, eccentric, and doesn't like to communicate with others.”
Dolores slightly frowned, why she had never heard of that?
Coral didn't know it very clearly either, but she had heard of it, “Seems like because of his health, he seldom communicate with us. He doesn't even show up when you got married, but he appeared quickly during this family matter.”
Even Coral thought it was so fast that it was strange. In Jayden's generation, he only had a younger cousin, the only other person who had WY Group’s stocks.
Dolores indicated that she got it, it was inappropriate to have disturbance in such a crucial moment, since that woman was a relative of the Nelson family, then Dolores should treat her politely.
She went to pour a glass of water, came back, and put it on the table.
Even if the woman showed respect by wearing a black dress, her neck and ears were full of expensive pieces of jewellery. The jewels sparkled more on the liner of her plain coloured dress, she also put on heavy make-up, seemed like she dressed up meticulously, and she was also sitting with her legs crossed at that time without any elegance that she seemed even more disrespectful.
Furthermore, she didn't seem old either, she was probably not 30 years old yet.
“You said that I should call you “Aunt” according to the family hierarchy, and then of course I should call you...”
“Say it, then.”
Before Dolores finished speaking, that woman sat there with an arrogant expression as she interrupted.
“Aunt, do you not understand politeness? Don't you know that interrupting someone when they're talking is impolite?” Dolores lashed back at her, she really couldn't stand her bluffing there, that was the day Jayden had passed away, Dolores was not in a good mood but that woman was so disrespectful.
“You said that you're my Aunt, then you're a very close relative of mine, my father just passed away, our family is all in deep pain while you put on hot red lipstick, didn't you know that it's disrespectful for the deceased?” Dolores suppressed her voice; she didn't want any conflict with anyone at that time.
But that woman's behaviour was really intolerable.
“If you're not sincere, then please just leave, or you can just learn things that you should know when attending a funeral.”
“You...” that woman became angry in an instant but she couldn't refute Dolores' words right away, she held it in for a long time before saying, “Is this how you talk to your senior?”
“Of course I should respect my seniors, if you don't even understand what's so-called ‘respect’, why do you demand others to respect you?”
That woman was so angry that her face was fully red, looking very bad, “You just wait.”
After saying that, she stood up and walked away angrily.
“Mrs. Nelson...” Coral was worried about Dolores so she stepped forward and supported her, Dolores shook her head and said that she was fine.
That woman walked quickly and bumped against the person walking in, she then said, “Don't you have eyes? Watch where you're walking!”
