When Lady Wilson asked Hannah to clean every window in the villa thoroughly, Hannah felt as though she was about to collapse.
Hannah could not hold back any longer, and she answered back, "Mum! This villa is so huge with so many rooms and so many windows. Even if I started cleaning now, I wouldn't be able to finish even after the first month of the year!"
Lady Wilson sneered and said, "You plan to drag it on for a month?! I tell you! If you're not able to clean all the windows in this house before New Year's Eve, I'll chase you out of the house to eat your reunion dinner!" 5
Hearing this made Hannah extremely angry!
If it were not for Christopher, Harold, and Wendy, she would not hesitate to rush inside, push the old lady to the floor, sit on her stomach, and punch her old face. 6
It was a pity that she did not have the chance to do just that.
Hannah felt very helpless. Even though she was extremely unsatisfied, she could only swallow her rage and reply in a low voice, "Okay, mum... I know... I'll do my best to clean the windows..."
Lady Wilson replied coldly, "At least you know your place! You're a lady with a corrupted family background. If you don't listen and obey, even Donald
won't be able to save you!"
Facing Lady Wilson's arrogance made Hannah even more frustrated. 5
However, this time, she did not answer back. She could only nod and reply with humiliation, "Mum, you're right, I'll listen to you!" 1
Thinking of Elaine not letting him celebrate New Year peacefully made Christopher very unhappy. He gritted his teeth and went downstairs. He said to Harold, who was in the living room putting on some decorations, " Harold, follow me! Let’s make Elaine pay this time!" i
Lady Wilson frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for Elaine at this time?"
Christopher replied angrily, "Mum, that stinky Elaine i s really disgusting! She hung so many green hats on the balcony. I don't care if those were hung there for a long time, but what made me furious was that she placed red lanterns beside the green hats! D*mn it, she wants must want to frustrate me to death this New Year! I'm going to make her pay!" s
Lady Wilson shouted sternly, "You stand right there! Besides looking for Elaine, are you sure you can beat Charlie? Do you want to spend New Year's lying in the hospital? 4
Christopher, who was aggrieved, cooled down immediately.
