Everyone fell silent, and Lydia walked around the kitchen and said, “Just cut off the sprouted parts of the potatoes, and they’ll be good to go. Why did you throw them away? Do you think I got these potatoes for free? Also, don’t peel the eggplants. The skin has all the nutrients! Why are there fish? Who bought these? Fish has so many bones. How are you expecting the children to eat it? How many times have I told you to buy chicken only? Chicken is rich in protein and good for the children…”
She lectured the kitchen staff while pointing at the different items. All of them held their heads down with their lips pursed, dared not to refute her.
The kitchen supervisor followed her, nodded, and said,” You’re right Ms. Night. These newcomers aren’t familiar with our operations yet. I’ll make sure to train them better.”
Lydia was about to say something, but a teacher knocked and came inside. “Ms. Night, there’s a letter for you.”
She frowned. “From who?”
“It’s from a law firm.”
Lydia paused and walked outside, asking, “Why would a law firm send me a letter?”
The kitchen staff only heaved a sigh of relief after she left.
One of them said, “What a heartless woman. How could she feed of food while charging their parents such high tuition fees?”
“Seabass and Barramundi can be boneless if prepared properly. She only wants to cook chicken because it’s cheaper.”
“My sister-in-law was planning to send her child here because of its reputation. I it if I didn’t work here. This evil woman would only buy leftover
groceries that aren’t fresh anymore. She would buy rotten strawberries, cut off the spoiled parts, and serve them to the children. Meanwhile, she only eats the freshest produce at home!”
Then, she hurriedly walked towards her home. She went inside and closed her room door before calling Hylda.
Albert kicked Hylda out of the Jewell residence, so she was staying in an apartment with Hugo. She just had a
miscarriage, and her body was still very weak. So, Sophia hired a nanny to care for her and Hugo here.
Hylda did not like the soup the nanny made for her, so she put the bowl aside after just a sip. Suddenly, her phone rang, and she saw an incoming call from Lydia. Then, her face darkened.
She would have never gone through anything like this if Lydia had taken better care of Hugo. Hylda answered the call and said in a deep voice, “Can I help you?”
Lydia was a little upset with her tone as Hylda was simply a homewrecker to her. However, considering her problem, she restrained herself and said, “Hylda, how are you feeling?”
