When everyone thought Queeny was going to be thrown out by Mrs. Bissel, suddenly, a cold voice came from the doorway.
"What's going on?"
With the clear sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor, a tall man appeared.
He stood in the doorway against the light, so the people in the living room couldn't see his face, but they could tell from his low voice that he was not happy.
His appearance was like a stone that suddenly fell into the bottom of the lake, in the hearts of all present, but people reacted to this in different ways.
Mrs. Bissel's face turned pale and Poppy's hand froze. Other servants all bowed their heads slightly, including Donald. It was just that he made a surreptitious gesture to Felix.
Only Queeny stood in the middle of the living room, with her expressionless face. Perhaps because the light was bright, she squinted when she turned around to look at the door.
No one answered. Felix frowned slightly and walked in slowly.
His handsome features, clam expression, and clear eyes caught Queeny's eye.
His stony face told everyone that he was neither happy nor disdainful. He just pursed his lips solemnly.
"Felix!"
Mrs. Bissel shouted as she stepped forward. She was interrupted by Felix as she tried to explain.
"Don't say anything! She will be staying here as a guest. I've already decided that."
"What?"
Mrs. Bissel stared in shock, "Do you know what you're talking about? You don't know what she just did!"
She turned to Poppy, pointed at her, and said, "You can ask Poppy how arrogant she was just now! How can such a woman be my daughter-in-law?"
Poppy froze, but she didn't dare to disobey. She stepped forward and said, "Miss Horton did contradict Mrs. Bissel."
Felix frowned and interrupted her, "That's enough! It's none of your business. This is my castle, not the Bissel's. You're in charge of the wrong house. If you're gonna live under my roof, you're gonna follow my rules!"
"But..."
Mrs. Bissel suddenly shut up because she saw the fierce look in Felix's eyes. His frown showed how impatient he was.
It was beyond doubt that she was the mistress of the Bissel family, but it was also beyond doubt that Felix was the young master of the Bissel family and he wouldn't take sides with her!
He was clearly angry. He didn't allow anyone to question or change the decisions he made, which was known to everyone in the Bissel family, including his grandfather, Elmore Bissel, who had retired.
No one remembered when this rule was made. They only knew that everyone was used to obeying his orders.
He proved in action that his decisions were always right. Gradually, few people opposed him and everyone forgot that the original decision-maker of the family was Elmore.
Felix glanced back at Poppy who was stunned and then stared at Queeny.
She was calmly looking up at him with her head slightly raised, not timid at all.
