At that moment, the door swung open. Christopher stepped inside first, apanied by the Lady, while Harold and Wendy trailed behind.
The Lady was adorned in an elegant mink coat, her cheeks flushed with excitement and an indescribable happiness radiating from her face.
Ever since she found a renewed sense of life in the Wilson family group, Lady Wilson had been in a state of bliss every day, herplexion glowing as if she had taken a miraculous rejuvenation pill.
As she crossed the threshold of the house, Mrs. Wilson eximed, “Oh, while the Webb family may not be the best, at least a lean camel isrger than a horse. With the project they’ve provided, we can expect a profit of at least 20 million dors in theing year. That’s truly remarkable!”
Christopher chuckled and replied, “Mom, it’s not just your foresight! If you hadn’t been working behind the scenes, the Wilson Group wouldn’t have had a chance to be revitalized!”<fn15fb> Fresh chapters posted on Find1Novel</fn15fb><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Lady Wilson nodded in approval. She had always been somewhat narcissistic and craved power, relishing the praise she received.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who was sitting on the sofa, felt a surge of anger at these words. She couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “That old woman is incredibly shameless! What part did she y in the Wilson family’s revival? It was Mr. Webb who helped us! And let’s not forget, he was the one who sent someone to rescue me from the ck coal kiln! It was his efforts that got your family out of the detention center!”
As Lady Wilson entered the living room in high spirits, she noticed Hannah lounging on the sofa with her phone and immediately snapped, “Hannah, why are you sitting there instead of preparing dinner in the kitchen? This isn’t your ce!”
Hannah rose, her voiceced with anger. “Mom, what do you mean by that? I’m part of this family too! Am I not even allowed to sit on the sofa?”
Lady Wilson shot back, “You’re absolutely right! You don’t deserve to sit on the sofa! In this household, you’re a servant! A servant who doesn’t even meet my standards! If it weren’t for Mr. Webb backing you, I would have kicked you out long ago!”
“You…” Hannah retorted, her fury boiling over. “You old crone, are you ever going to stop? You keep bringing up the same nonsense! Don’t forget what Mr. Webb always says about setting aside our differences. If you keep this up, I’ll go to Mr. Webb for help!”
Lady Wilson was momentarily taken aback.
She had been insulting and belittling Hannah because she was convinced Hannah wouldn’t dare to retaliate. But now, faced with Hannah’s boldness, she felt a rush of frustration. Still, she hesitated to confront Hannah too fiercely, mindful of Donald’s warning that upsetting him could jeopardize the Wilson family’s rise.
Collecting herself, she huffed, “Fine, since Mr. Webb has asked us to put aside our differences, I won’t stoop to your level. But I advise you to understand your position. In this family, you carry the weight of your past mistakes; you should always be aware of that!”
Despite her inner turmoil, Hannah chose not to escte the argument further. Instead, she replied tly, “Dinner is ready, let’s eat!”
However, beneath her calm exterior, she harbored a deep-seated resentment toward Lady Wilson.
Hannah recognized that Mrs. Wilson’s attitude would likely worsen over time, not improve.
As the Wilson Group continued to climb, it was clear that Mrs. Wilson’s demeanor would only be more arrogant.
She couldn’t help but sigh internally, thinking, “If only that old woman would face some serious consequences!”
