It was clear that this was the kind of wealth and prestige the Bode family had always pursued.
Perhaps the strict rules of this family were enough to scare off many people. That’s why no one applied for the job here.
Sherry followed the housekeeper inside.
Maria and Frank were quite welcoming. Sherry felt a little relieved. Her initial thought of wanting to hit them faded. She probably couldn’t afford to offend them.
“Mrs. Bode, I heard you’re from Seaseat City. How about this, you can live and eat here from now on. If you know how to cook…”
Maria suddenly waved her hand. “I’m not asking you to do these things because I’m paying you a high salary. I mean, the salary is one million dollars a month. I saw in your resume that you’re a good cook. My son is very picky. He never eats the food the previous nannies cooked, saying that older people don’t understand young people’s tastes. I hired some young chefs, but he said the women had ulterior motives and their revealing clothes while cooking affected his appetite. Then I hired a young male chef. He said the chef had his own cooking standards and didn’t follow his instructions. Finally, I hired a transgender person. He complained that the food didn’t suit his taste. He’s so picky.”
Maria said this through gritted teeth, wishing she could beat her son.
In Sherry’s eyes, this son had become a very spoiled, sickly, overweight, acne-faced problem
child.
Sherry regretted coming here.
“So, I wonder if you can… If you think 1 million dollars is not enough, I can raise it to 2 million.”
Why did Maria seem to be cautiously observing her expression?
It was probably just a misconception.
She had done some research before coming. The Harrison family was a top family in King City, but they were very low-key.
“Okay.” Sherry really needed the money.
She couldn’t even get a divorce now, and dividing the property was a pipe dream.
She had to be fully prepared. Even if she could win against Gilbert and ended up leaving

Maria and Frank seemed quite excited, but immediately regained their elegant and dignified demeanor. They led Sherry to Lucas’s room.
The room was even bigger than their living room.
“You’re here?” The man put down the newspaper he was reading. “Have a seat.”
This was completely different from the image of a spoiled, delinquent heir she had imagined.
The room was incredibly clean, without a single speck of dirt. Lucas was wearing casual clothes.
His collarbone and chest muscles were faintly visible beneath his crisp, clean white V-neck shirt. Even sitting down, his long, superior legs were evident.
He was very handsome, with a striking jawline and sharp, arrogant eyes. When he looked at her, he exuded an air of authority.
Sherry was indeed surprised by his good looks. Even more shocking was his aura. She forced a smile and hesitated before speaking, “Mr. Harrison… Lucas?”
He should have been a refined young man basking in the warm sunlight.
His thin lips curved upwards, and his eyes were deep and profound. He sat there casually, yet unexpectedly possessed an undeniable air of authority.
Sherry was clearly much older than him, but she felt like his employee, and instinctively sat down.
“Finish those reports first.”
Sherry opened her phone and started working. She had just created the spreadsheet when she felt something was wrong. “No. I’m here to tutor you, not to do your work! Aren’t you still in school?”
Lucas pondered for a moment. “I don’t think you can teach me anything with your qualifications.”
Sherry saw documents from King University on the bookshelf. Wasn’t that the best university?
He needed a tutor even though he was studying here?
Sherry stood up. “I’m going to the restroom.”
