Gray said to her, “Miss Wight, our young lady said the Wright family doesn’t support useless people.”
Dora came out right behind Fiona and happened to hear Gray say that.
Almost instantly, her expression turned ugly.
Those were words she had once said to Stella.
Every time Evan brought Stella back to the old estate, Dora would say that exact line to her.
Now, hearing this man from Eirden say it to her daughter, Fiona, made Dora’s anger surge even higher.
Fiona’s face turned livid too. “What do you mean? What do you mean the family doesn’t support useless people?”
That bitch Stella really thought the Wright family belonged to her now?
What was she acting so arrogant for?
This was the Wright family’s home. Whether Fiona was useful or not had nothing to do with Stella. What right did Stella have to say they would not support useless people?
Gray said, “From now on, if you want anything, you’ll have to exchange labor for it.”
Fiona fell silent.
Dora fell silent too.
They had to work in exchange for meals in the Wright family?
They were the real members of the Wright family.
What was Stella?
Dora snapped, “You want our people to cook, using the Wright family’s ingredients, and then you want us to work in exchange for it? What kind of logic is that?”
The word “logic” sounded especially ironic coming from Dora.
She had never been a reasonable person.
And now, when she had run into Stella being unreasonable, she clearly could not take it.
Fiona paused. “Our… people?”
That was right.
Where were the Wright family’s staff?
Ever since they had returned, they had not seen any of their household staff.
Where had everyone gone?

Only after Fiona pointed it out did Dora belatedly realize that she had not seen any of the household staff
1/3
since they came back.
She looked at Gray through gritted teeth. “Where are our people?”
“Fired to cut expenses.”
Dora froze.
Fiona froze too.
Cut expenses.
Now, whenever Dora and Fiona heard those words, their heads throbbed.
Was Stella really cutting expenses?
No.
She was deliberately tormenting them.
But even if they knew Stella’s intention, what could they do?
They had no way to stop her.
“What do you want us to do, then?” Fiona asked through gritted teeth.
The moment she said that, Dora grabbed her arm.
Why was she asking that?
Was she really planning to lower her head in front of Stella?
Dora wanted to stop her from speaking.
But Fiona was truly starving. “Say it. What do you want me to do?”
“Fiona!”

“What else are we supposed to do? We all know she’s deliberately tormenting us, but what can we do about it? Can you do anything to her?”
Fiona was genuinely hungry.
r
Her dignity as the Wright family’s pampered daughter had only lasted two short days in the old estate before she could no longer maintain it.
When Dora heard Fiona say that, she felt her nerves strain to the breaking point.
“Call your brother first, all right?”
Evan should be back soon.
If he brought them something to eat, wouldn’t that solve it?
Did Fiona really have to bow to Stella?
Fiona said, “Did he answer when you called him?”
