The manager patted Gwendolyn's shoulder when he saw she gape.
“Gwendolyn, please work harder. There is a bonus at the end of the year. If Mr. Lowen is satisfied with your performance, you might get a few ten thousand.”
Gwendolyn was astounded once again. She felt a sense of dizziness in her head.
O-Oh my... Am I at the peak of my life? Finally, I am capable of giving my children a better life.
As soon as Gwendolyn snapped back to her senses, she swore she would be patient no matter what Patrick asked her to do.
Even though he is petty, he does treat his employees well.
Gwendolyn bought some snacks and food ingredients before returning home. Camille took over bags and bags of things from Gwendolyn. She was slightly surprised when she arranged the things.
“Gwen, the food ingredients you bought today are all imported. You have spent a lot, haven't you?” Camille asked.
Besides, she bought a lot of snacks. She would usually think twice before buying fruits and would only buy them when they are cheap. What's wrong with her today?
Gwendolyn assisted Camille in keeping the things in the refrigerator and containers. Her grin revealed that she was happy.
“Ms. Ziegler, I found a job with a good salary. We don't need to eke out a living in the future anymore.”
Not only can I afford the Barbie doll for Juliette, but I can also buy the drones and computers for Justin and Julian now. Our good days are about to come.
Right then, someone rang the doorbell. Camille went to get the door.
Dressed in clothing made of fur, Candace showed up at the door carrying the latest handbag. She glanced at Camille faintly.
“Is Gwendolyn staying here?”
Camille stared at the woman before her. She always dresses in such a high-profile manner. Has she ever considered the probability of being robbed?
“Hello? I'm speaking to you. I'm expecting an answer,” Candace said impatiently.
Why does she keep staring at me? Look at the way that she's looking at me. Is she jealous of me?
Candace somewhat despised Camille, as she looked down on these lowly commoners the most. She even did not feel like talking to them.
Camille, on the other hand, did not like Candace. She knew that when the latter came looking for Gwendolyn, it would not be anything good. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Therefore, she replied coldly, “There's no such a person here.”
Then she pushed Candace out and closed the door.
Candace was furious. “You f*cking grannie. I know she's here. Open the door!”
She rapped on the wooden door non-stop that everyone from the neighborhood came out to have a look.
When Camille went inside, she said to Gwendolyn, “There's a woman dressed like a nouveau riche at our door looking for you. I'm afraid she has a bad intention. So, I blocked her outside.”
Gwendolyn stood up. “Who is it?”
She walked out of her room and headed toward the entrance through the courtyard.
Then she heard Candace swearing outside the door. She turned around and discovered a small bucket. Thus, she filled it with water. As soon as she opened the door, she splashed the water outside on Candace.
Immediately, shrieks echoed. “Argh... Gwendolyn, what the hell are you doing?”
Candace's head and face were all wet. The water deformed the hairstyle she purposely set up and ruined her makeup. Her clothes were so wet that she started trembling due to the cold.
Gwendolyn held the bucket tightly and looked at the onlookers outside.
“Aunt Candace, why are you here? I thought it was someone else causing trouble.” She put down the bucket and walked outside. “You have a high stature. My house is too small to welcome you. Aunt
Candace, you should go back and get changed, or you will catch a cold in this cold weather.”
Candace sneezed a few times consecutively. “You... Gwendolyn, I purposely came to see you with good intentions. Just you wait and see.”
With that, she quickly burst into tears and started sobbing loudly. “Everyone, listen to me. Gwendolyn was pregnant when she was eighteen. She did not even know who the father of her babies was. What a disgusting woman! All of you must be careful. She isn't a good woman.”
