The traffic thinned out when night came, and they came back to Flintstone Residence not long later. After the servant rang the doorbell and talked to the guy inside, they opened the gates for the car.
Matilda was in her room, frustrated. She tried to call the mercenary today, but nobody took the call. Did they do it? At least give me an update! She kept pacing back and forth until her servant came knocking. “What is it?” she said impatiently.
The servant said, “Old Mrs. Constance is here. You might want to see her.”
Matilda was stunned. “She’s here?”
Isn’t it supposed to be William? “Is William here?” she asked.
“No. Only her and her servant,” the servant replied flatly.
Matilda felt annoyed. She left the Constance Residence because of the fight with William. Why’s he asking his mom to pick me up? When she recalled the look of disdain Old Mrs. Constance gave her during the fight with William, she was vexed. Deciding to put on airs, she said, “No. I won’t go down unless William’s apologizing.”
The servant waited for a little while longer before going away, leaving Matilda alone and fuming. William had never done this to her. No matter what happened, he would always end up apologizing if she got angry, but now he slapped her just for Sophia.
