Getting My Ex-wife Back

The pure cotton pyjamas with cute little animal prints on them that Jenna was wearing made her look cute and cuddly. Her long hair was still dripping with water as she had just come out of the shower. Her skin was fair and slightly flushed. It was also very smooth.

As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Larry was tidying the room for her. She was capable and focused. It seemed like she did not notice Jenna standing right behind her.

Jenna leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms over her chest, and quietly observed Larry as she made the bed.

Larry bent over to observe the sheets first, and then touched them with her hands. After a long while, she reached out and skillfully pulled off the sheets. She took the new red sheets that were piled up next to her and gently spread them out. The red sheets went up into the air like a fiery cloud as it slowly landed right in the middle of the mattress. Larry gently shook them and the sheets fell perfectly into position, which amazed Jenna. Next, Larry squatted down and expertly folded the corners of the sheets.

She managed to change the sheets in less than a minute.

Furthermore, she was not panting, her face was not flushed, and her expression was calm. Sure enough, she was a pro in changing sheets.

Jenna stared at the red sheets without blinking.

It took her more than ten minutes to change the sheets the other day and by the time she was finished, she was sweating all over, but Larry did it effortlessly. Jenna was mind blown but she did not say anything.

Every morning, the servants of the Richards family would go and tidy every bedroom in the Richard Manor; a task which was insignificant to them.

Jenna’s mind drifted off into a daze and some pictures flashed across her mind over and over again. It made her suspicious. The images of the red sheets kept popping into her mind and she was slightly stunned.

After making the bed, Larry turned around to tidy the table. Her eyes swept around. It was as if she was looking for something. She didn’t look like a person who was trying to tidy up the desk.

Jenna’s face instantly darkened.

“Ahem.” She coughed slightly.

“Ah… Young Madam, you’re here.” Larry shrieked and was frightened by Jenna’s voice. When she turned her head, she saw Jenna standing behind her. Panic flashed in her eyes.

She blinked her smiling eyes, but the coldness slowly poured out from her smile.

“What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to be in my own room?” Her tone was gentle and she took a step forward, but her words were overwhelming.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant,” Larry’s face was a little pale, and she hurriedly denied it with a smile. “This is your room, of course you’re allowed to be here. I-I was too focused on tidying that I did not realize that you were in the room. I’m really sorry that I did not greet you.”

She was frantically trying to come up with an excuse.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“It’s nothing. You’re the one cleaning up my room, so I should thank you instead.” Jenna smiled faintly and slowly sat down on the couch. She crossed her legs slightly, reached for a grape on the coffee table, and popped it into her mouth. All it took was one bite and she could taste the sweetness of the grapes. Then she gave Larry a slight smirk, revealing her teeth covered with grape juice. It made her look like a vicious siren.

“Come here.” Her face slowly darkened, and her eyes gradually became sharp. She waved Larry, who was smiling dumbly at her, over.

No one knew why Larry looked scared. Her entire body was trembling. She obediently walked over and asked in a low voice, “Young Madam, what can I do for you?”

“Are you afraid of me?” Jenna popped another grape into her mouth. She looked up at Larry and asked. She thought that she did not have the upper hand among the people here at Green Jade Garden. Even this beautiful servant was above her. She was surprised that Larry was even afraid of her in the first place.

“No, Young Madam, you are very modest. We, as servants, like you very much.” Larry quickly smiled.

“Is that so? That’s good then.” Jenna suddenly laughed. How could she not feel that? It was good that they did not bully her, but they were snobbish. However, she maintained her smile and said, “I was afraid that you guys did not like me and would speak ill of me.”

“No, why would we?” Larry asked, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Jenna knew that even though those people working here in the Richards Manor were servants, but in fact, their salaries were much higher than those of average employees in a normal company. They not only had all the necessary insurance, but also had generous rewards. It was normal for their servants to earn more than ten thousand a month. For those who did not mind being a servant, this was a pretty decent job.

Therefore, if the servants did not have any special connections, they would not be able to work in Richards Manor.

“Larry, you’re Madam’s distant relative, aren’t you?” Jenna asked lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

“Yes, that’s right.” Larry was complacent for a moment when she heard Jenna’s question. Madam Marissa had the most authority in Green Jade Garden. No one could do anything to her except for Madam Marissa herself. Aria too had to flatter her. Therefore, she tried to compose herself with this thought. Marissa didn’t like Young Madam. She didn’t need to be afraid of anything at all.

She even heard that the Young Madam and Young Master were divorced. It was just that Grandma Richard liked her a lot and that was why she kept Young Madam around. Once Grandma Richard passed away, Young Madam would be nothing. Therefore, it was a no brainer for her to obey Madam Marissa.

Jenna’s eyes flashed and she said very affectionately, “Since you are Madam’s relative, that means that you are also my relative. Therefore, I should call you by your first name.”

There was a hint of contempt in Larry’s eyes, but she repeatedly said, “No need. Young Madam, you don’t have to be so polite.”

“Larry, since you are Madam’s relative, you should consider Madam’s interests. You should know how to protect the reputation of the Green Jade Garden, right?” Jenna’s voice became even colder. It was as if she was going to explode at any moment.

Larry was not used to it at the moment. She felt a chill run all over her body and she looked up with sharp eyes. Suddenly, she shivered; she discovered that the gentle woman in front of her had changed. The light in her eyes was no longer modest and unfathomable, and her behavior had become much more sophisticated. She could not be bullied at will.

She looked at Jenna in a daze and didn’t know how to answer.

“Larry, let me ask you, what were you expecting to find on my sheets? What were you trying to feel? Also, what were you looking for on my desk?” Jenna suddenly stood up and asked angrily. “Don’t you know how to be a servant? As far as I know, the servants of the Richards family will usually go through a training phase when they first come in. Do you want me to teach you all over again?”

Anger overpowered Jenna and her expression was cold. She demanded as she walked toward Larry, who was backed into a corner.

“No, Young Madam. You must have made a mistake. I was just cleaning up. I wasn’t looking for anything.” Although there was a look of panic in Larry’s eyes, she did not want to admit anything. She looked old and decrepit.

Jenna knew that she would not admit it, as she had expected.

She took a step back and said with a cold smile, “You don’t have to come up with any excuses; it’s useless. I saw you with my own eyes so it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit it. However, let me warn you, I already know that you did something behind my back. You don’t have to take me for granted. I don’t need you to promise me anything,” she said slowly, and her face became more and more gloomy. “I think you probably already know that I have one-third of the right to inherit Green Jade Garden and this was given to me by Grandma Richards. Yes, Madam can keep you around and treat you well, but don’t forget that I have the authority to make decisions now. You look like you are about 40 years old. If you don’t appreciate working here and you don’t wish to retire here, then I am willing to accommodate you. If you are kicked out of Green Jade Garden, do you think anywhere else would offer you such a high salary?”

Jenna’s words alerted her and struck fear into her heart. What Jenna said was true. If she left Green Jade Garden, was there any other place that would accept her?

Obviously, of the heirs in Green Jade Garden, although Marissa had the most authority, Grandma Richards did announce the inheritance that she gave to Jenna. Even Hansen himself did not have a share, much less Aria.

Even if Marissa didn’t like her, the inheritance that Jenna received was final and no one could change Grandma Richard’s decision. If Jenna wanted to drive away a little servant, it was totally possible.

“Young Madam, I really didn’t do anything. I serve you wholeheartedly. Please don’t get rid of me!” Larry’s face began to turn pale, and her whole body was covered with cold sweat. She didn’t have enough confidence to speak. She was the breadwinner of her family and if she was driven out by Jenna, that will be the end of her life. This was something that couldn’t happen.

“Very well. You can act all innocent, but let me tell you this: Since I dared to confront you, it must mean that I have some evidence. It’s fine if you don’t want to admit it. Just wait for the day when I expose all of your dirty tricks, then we’ll see whether you get to keep your job here in Richards Manor or not,” Jenna said coldly.

Cold sweat began to form on Larry’s forehead. Her hands began to tremble. She looked at Jenna with a terrified look and asked anxiously, “Young Madam, what… do you know?”

“If you have no ulterior motives, would you be so scared?” Jenna sneered in her heart. She asked calmly, “What do you want me to know?”

“I don’t know, I really don’t know.” Larry shook her head desperately.

“Aunt Ella, come over now.” Jenna picked up the phone on the wall to intercom Aunt Ella.

After a while, Aunt Ella walked in. When she saw the look on Larry’s face, she instantly understood everything. With a stern look on her face, she walked over and asked respectfully, “Young Madam, what can I help you with?”
