No One But You novel Chapter 90

"Don’t you feel good to be misunderstood by Calvin?" Brooke's voice was cool, and I could hear the irony.

I turned around, grinning. "Why did you say that?"

"You just like to pretend to be strong."

I didn't care. It was the way it is.

I got under the quilt and went back to sleep, without knowing what Brooke was doing.

Even if he helped me, I won't appreciate him.

He owed me.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the look of Calvin appeared in my mind, lingering.

I woke up late. I was the most arrogant one in the family. Every young generation greeted Master Knight in his room in the morning.

But I didn’t. Since Calvin and Brooke got a job, so they got up very early in the morning.

I was unemployed. If I greeted him in the early morning, I could not sleep again.

Anyway, I was not going. Maybe I was not going to stay with the Knight family for the rest of my life, so I was afraid nothing. And they could not do anything with me.

I woke up and sat on the bed in a daze, shouting at Stella, but I had no response. I had to call her, and she took a while to come in.

"Josephine." She ran out of breath, “You wake up, I will get your clothes."

"No, I'll take the clothes myself. I'm not without hands and feet." I got out of bed. "I want you to hang out with me."

"Can you wait a minute?" She watched my face carefully. "Please?"

"Are you busy?" Brooke said I can use Stella. She had nothing to do besides staying with me.

"Today is the eighth anniversary of the Splendid Crystal. Mrs. Georgia asked us to prepare things for today."

"What is Splendid Crystal?"

"It's the Women Committee, an organization that speaks for women."

I knew it. It was started by the rich ladies.

The intention was good, but I heard that the rich ladies took this opportunity to compete with each other. There would be charity banquets to see who raised more money. But it was held in a luxury hotel. The ladies wanted to show off, wearing bling.

"Mrs. Georgia is the vice President, so we are busy."

"Oh, I'll go out by myself."

"Don't." Stella looked at me in embarrassment, “Mr. Brooke does not allow you to go out alone, , in case, in case..."

Brooke was afraid his child would get hurt if I had an accident.

I want to think, “Then I go to find Angel."

I mean Mrs. Angel. I didn't call her Mom. I didn't like that.

“Mrs. Angel is an alternate member of the Women Committee, she is busy too."

"How can she become an alternate member?"

Stella did not speak drooping her eyebrow. I sure understood that she was under pressure by Mrs. Georgia.

After I washed and changed my clothes, I walked through the living room with a bottle of milk in my hand, and was ready to have dinner. Then I saw that everyone in the living room was busy. They were preparing presents. Nice paper bags were all over the place.

Georgia sitting on the sofa ordered, “Angel, take that over."

"Angel, did I let you tie a bow. I asked you twist blue ribbon and pink ribbon together. It will look nice. Don't you even have the most basic level of appreciation?”

Whatever she said, Mrs. Angel hung her head and did as she was told.

I could not see anyone being bullied, but I also knew that the current situation was not formed in a day or two.

I thought Angel loved Philip so much what she had to to put up with Mrs. Georgia.

I heard that Angel's family was not bad. Although it was not a rich family, her parents were professors in university. Since she become Philip’s second wife, they had long cut off contact.

Angel sent gifts home every year for the festival, but they were returned.
