Chapter 1536
The old maid nodded. “She does seem a little strange to me.”
Madam Stockton enquired further, “Can you tell me what you saw?”
“If I do, please don’t get angry at me.”
“Oh, don’t worry about inconsequential things like that. Just get it over with,” Madam Stockton pressed her on.
The old maid uttered discreetly, “What Ms. Weiss said to Ms. Sherry just now sounded like a threat no matter how you put it. If Ms. Sherry doesn’t do as Ms. Weiss says, would it be seen as a sign of disrespect? In the same vein, would it be seen as opposing your authority as well?”
Madam Stockton seemed very intrigued by this. “You make a good point. Julie said something very interesting back there, and it took me a moment to fully understand what she was trying to imply.”
“It was a good thing you stepped in back there. Judging by Mrs. Sherry’s temper, it wouldn’t surprise me if she made the situation worse.”
Madam Stockton almost seemed offended by this remark. “I only did that so my granddaughter can get some rest. I wasn’t trying to help her at all.”
The old maid smiled and answered flatteringly, “I see, I see. I understand.”
“Forget the flattery. Tell me what else you have noticed.”
“Alright,” the maid continued, “What really confuses me now is Ms. Weiss’s behavior. She usually tries to play the good mediator between you and Ms. Sherry, but why was she directly inciting conflict back there? If I were her, I would have continued trying to get on Ms. Sherry’s good side to get her to like me.”
Madam Stockton frowned and remarked, “Maybe she only said all those things
because she was just trying to help me and get Caprice to stay behind.”
The maid sighed. “Let’s hope that’s what her intention was.”
Meanwhile, Julie had left Madam Stockton’s residence. Her hands were balled into fists, and her expression was harsh and sinister.
What went wrong?
Why was the old woman suddenly defending Sherry? How did this happen?
Was it merely because Caprice wanted to go with Sherry?
Or did the old lady happen to be in a good mood back there because she had a chance to enjoy a meal with Caprice? Was that why she decided to go easy on Sherry this time around?
Julie was perplexed by this and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She cursed out loud, “Damned old hag!”
