A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 59 Did You Take My Words Seriously

Lisa gave Jean a bottle of water. "You're so naive. I guess she bullied you a lot when you were young. We're all adults now. Even though you're sisters, I think you should keep a distance from her.

I'm telling you this because you are my friend. If you think I'm being reasonable, then you should listen to me. But if you think I'm wrong, then you can forget what I just said. Just remember to stay away from her. Otherwise, you'll suffer in the end."

"Lisa, I..." Jean sighed and looked down. "I know that you're doing this for me. So, I shall consider your suggestion."

"That's good." Lisa nodded, pleased with Jean's response. "Let's eat."

Jean lowered her head and silently ate her food. In the afternoon, she rested for a while before heading home. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She had to think about how she was going to deal with Julia next.

When she arrived home, she overheard Sherry gossiping with another maid. "I tried to clean Miss Gu's room yesterday, but she drove me out. I was so scared. What do you think happened to Mrs. and Mr. Chen? Why did he allow such a vile woman to live here?"

"You're right." The maid she was talking to shook her head. "Mrs. Chen never complained about the food I made. But, this Miss Gu is totally different. She dislikes us, and whatever I cook doesn't seem to suit her appetite. My salary has already been deducted three times this month. If this keeps on happening, how will I support my family?"

"Yes, you're right." Sherry sighed helplessly. "I can't believe Mrs. Chen divorced Mr. Chen, just so he can live with this woman. Even if they aren't married yet, she's already so confident in becoming the hostess. If they do get married, we'll certainly have a hard time."

"Yes." The maid wore a worried expression. "I don't think we'll be employed anymore. Since I can't serve her, I've already asked the agency to help me find another job. I will leave as soon as I find another job. You better plan as early as now."

"You are right." Sherry let out a deep breath and pursed her lips. "It's a pity that Mrs. Chen is in difficulty herself. Otherwise, I'm going to work for her."

Jean didn't care that the maids were talking about her. However, she felt irritated when she heard them call Julia "Mrs. Chen."

Although her sister formerly married to Terence, it was supposed to remain in the past. She was the one who was living here now and she would definitely become the future Mrs. Chen and the hostess of this house.

Jean felt the need for them to understand this.

If they refused to realize this, then she should have everyone replaced.

"Ahem!" Jean cleared her throat to show them that she was home. When she entered the room, the maids pretended to clean, as if nothing had just happened.

"Miss Gu, you're back." Sherry walked over and politely asked, "Will you having dinner here tonight? What dishes do we need to prepare?"

"No, thanks," Jean said indifferently. "I won't have dinner here, so don't prepare anything."

"Okay," Sherry responded.

After Jean changed her clothes, she called her mother. "Where are you?"

"I..." Mandy faltered, unable to respond. In the background, Jean could hear the sound of the mahjong chips mixing. She frowned and asked her mother, "Are you gambling again?"

"No, I..." Mandy awkwardly stammered.

"I made a reservation at a restaurant. I'll send you the location. Please go there as soon as possible." Without waiting for her to respond, Jean dropped the call.

She didn't really care what Mandy was doing, as long as she showed up when Jean needed help.

Mandy was already sitting in the restaurant when Jean arrived. After their phone call, she immediately came over without protesting. She gently smiled at her daughter and asked, "What happened?"

In Terence's house, the maids were all on Julia's side.

Besides, Jean didn't want to visit Mandy's rented house.

So she decided that they could just talk over dinner at a restaurant. "Have you been resting well? You look like you're losing weight," Mandy asked.

"Stop talking about useless things. I told you to get rid of Sherry. Did you do as I say?" Jean gave Mandy a look of disdain. "I've been so busy dealing with Julia for the past few days, but you started gambling again. Did you take my words seriously?"

Mandy grimaced in embarrassment. "Don't worry. Your words are in my mind."

Mandy poured her daughter a glass of water. "She is just a maid. We can punish her whenever we want, right?"

"So you mean to say that I should just continue putting up with her?" Jean stared at Mandy in disbelief.

"That's not what I meant..." Mandy glanced at Jean with remorse. "I meant that you just moved in. If you start firing the maids, won't Terence suspect something?"

"So what?" Jean sneered and laughed with menace. "Who do you think I am? You think I can't deal with a mere maid?"

"So, what do you want to do?" Mandy grimly looked at her daughter. She couldn't help but feel shiver trailing down her spine.

She remembered that Jean had wanted a puppy when she was a child, so she had gotten one for her. At first, Jean had taken care of her new pet. Once she had gotten tired of playing with it, she had begun to beat and scold the puppy. The poor thing had always looked at Jean with a pitiful expression, never understanding why its owner would treat it like this.

Up until now, Mandy could still remember the puppy's aggrieved eyes.
