Chapter 1239 A Slap
Don’t tell me that Arielle is still waiting for Vinson to take the initiative? Essentially, it’s all because Arielle and Vinson are similar in too many ways and are equally arrogant. That’s why they’re growing further apart from each other. Hmm… I shall be the one to cause a rift between them then! When that happens, Arielle can’t blame me. She can only blame herself for being too outstanding. Men are all arrogant and lustful creatures. Her demeanor will only make any man feel inferior and dare not take a step forward to reach her.
With those thoughts in her head, Penelope felt increasingly thrilled, so much so that she felt elated.
So, when Susanne and the rest headed back to their rooms, she sat on the couch in the living room and haughtily beckoned a housekeeper over.
“Are there no fruits in this house? Go and bring me some fruits right now!”
The housekeeper frowned. “M-Miss, the fruits we bought are all catered to the preferences of the three owners of this manor. We have none prepared for you. I’m sorry.”
“What?” Penelope’s expression turned grim at once.
She stood up with her hands on her waist. “What do you mean by that? Are you belittling me? I’m Mr. Nightshire’s woman! Do you want me to throw you out of this house for not being willing to prepare fruits for me?”
The housekeeper’s face fell instantly.
“Only the owners in the manor have the right to fire me. I’m afraid you aren’t qualified to do that?”
As soon as her words fell, a loud smack reverberated through the entire living room.
Thinking that she should not kick a fuss and make Vinson learn about her temper, she raised an eyebrow quizzically and sat down. “I want strawberries, cherries, and mangoes. The mangoes have to be diced in small cubes so that I won’t have to make a mess while eating them.”
“Sure, we will do it according to your request.” Geoffrey smiled faintly and pulled the housekeeper with him to the kitchen.
The indignant housekeeper asked, “Why do we have to listen to that woman? She slapped me! Why did you apologize to her?”
“Silly woman!” Geoffrey scrunched his brows tightly as he lowered his voice to explain. “We’re only housekeepers in this house. You have to know your place! Since Mr. Nightshire has brought her back, we have to treat her just like the lady of the house.”
“Lady of the house?” The housekeeper was really annoyed. “In my opinion, she can’t even hold a candle for Mrs. Nightshire! Though Mrs. Nightshire is the chairman of Sann Group, she’s extremely respectful to us. Just look at that woman… Huh, I honestly have no idea why Mr. Nightshire is interested in her!”
