Chapter 2015 Conservative
Mildred was a ball of pure anger and continued cursing even after leaving the guest room.
In the living room, she glared at her husband furiously and said, “It seems like you're siding with that woman. Why did you stop me from hitting her? She must be sick of living. How dare she slap me!"
With a grim expression on his face, Norton replied, “Mildred, have you forgotten our objective? If we fail to become in-laws with the Cheever family, it's just a matter of time that Southern Star Group will crumble due to our debts. Everything will be over for us if that happens!”
Mildred gradually fell silent after hearing that.
She would hardly be interested in who that illegitimate child married if Southern Star Group had not fallen into crisis. After all, it was none of her business.
“But you've seen for yourself how uncooperative Lorraine was! Are there any other methods you're intending to use?”
Norton fell into deep thought. A moment later, the housekeeper walked over and reported, "Mr. Sheffield, food is ready."
“Bring it to our guest in the guest room and make sure she eats. If she refuses to eat, you will be fired!” Norton waved a hand.
Startled, the housekeeper nodded continuously before taking the food upstairs.
After knocking on the door, she entered the guest room with the food.
Lorraine glanced at the dishes and was rather impressed by the spread. Without waiting for the housekeeper to speak, she picked up her utensils and started eating at once.
The housekeeper was slightly stunned as she had expected to have a hard time persuading the guest to eat.
Lorraine was no longer the same silly woman she used to be. She knew that not only would starving herself not help her, but it would also cause her to feel weak and lethargic.
She had decided to eat well and make sure she remained in good health. That way, it would give her an advantage if she ever had to fight Mildred again.
Besides, she did not want Madilyn to worry when they saw each other again.
After all, she had lived long enough to understand what was good for her.
It was already one in the afternoon when Madilyn woke up at the hotel.
