Chapter 1122
Elizabeth had been holding back her anger for a while, and Wendy’s words just gave her the perfect
chance to let it all out. She seized the opportunity to vent her fury with everything she’d got..
Chloe almost burst outughing. That was spot on!
Addie’s expression kept changing. Anyone who was not aplete idiot would have realized that
Elizabeth’s words were directed straight at Addie! A few servants exchanged nces, then lowered
their heads and fell silent again.
Addie’s face turned extremely awkward. Wendy was being scolded for no reason, and she too was
at a loss. “Elizabeth, you…”
Addie, with teary eyes, grabbed Wendy, took a deep breath, and said, “Ms. Alonso, enough already.
She’s mad at me. No matter how hard I try for this family, we servants are always the underdogs!”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Addie’s sob story.
Chloe was stone–cold. Seeing Elizabeth genuinely pissed off this time, she finally got up, and
turned to Addie. She said coldly. “So what? Do you want to be part of our family? Your sryes
from us, and we cover your room and board. If we can’t get a return on our investment, why would
we need you?”
Addie’s face turned sour, She stared at her, “You…”
“Chloe, Addie has been taking care of the Harper family and Presley with all her heart. How could
she just be a simple servant? She earns and deserves her wages, doesn’t she?”
“That’s exactly what she deserves! She works, and we pay her! It’s as simple as that! Do we enjoy
being mistreated or what, paying big bucks to have her here to give us a hard time?”
Wendy’s face turned sour. This woman…
“Addie has been working for the Harper family for over forty years…”

“That’s because she’s been paid by us for over forty years!” Chloe emphasized, then turned to
Addie, who was feeling wronged, “Are you trying to use your seniority to take advantage here?”
Addie was truly awed by Chloe’s sharp tongue. She was left speechless by her powerful rhetoric.
Wendy suddenly realized something. She was here to be verbally abused by Chloe! Barely two
minutes into their meeting, she was already being scolded. She’d say one sentence, no, half a
sentence, and Chloe would fire back with ten.
“You…”
Not until Chloe paused for several seconds and the room fell into an awkward silence did she
realize she needed to say something. After some thought she mumbled, “I understand you don’t like
me, but that doesn’t mean you can take out your grudge on innocent people.”
Chloeughed coldly, “From the moment you stepped through this door, have I said anything harsh
to you?”
Wendy widened her eyes, thought about it, and it seemed she hadn’t. She looked at Elizabeth
sitting on the couch, whose face darkened. Biting her lip she took a few seconds to organize her
thoughts; recalling her mother’s advice, she decided to be polite. “I mean no harm. I’ve spent a lot
of time with the Harper family since I was a kid, and Addie has always taken good care of me. So I
might favor her a bit. But regardless, Chloe, you’re holding a grudge. Addie has been with the
Harper family for many years, and no one has ever treated her like this. There are things she
already understands. There’s no need for her to be lectured by us youngsters…”
She understood some things?
Chloe sneered silently. What things did she understand? That Wendy was the futuredy of the
Harper family?
Chloe kept her cool on the surface, her tone was calm and harmless, “If things aren’t too much, I
canpromise, but everyone should know their ce! How others see you is their business. If I
treat you like a servant, but you insist on acting like you’re thedy of the house. The result is that
you’re unhappy with me, and I find you irritating! This resentment will grow, and I still have the
power to deal with you!”
Addie was so angry she was speechless. Thatst line was meant to provoke her, wasn’t it?
Elizabeth finally took a deep breath. Seeing Chloe scold someone into silence was very satisfying.
She stood up, her gloomy face gradually cleared up, she strutted around and wrapped up the
matter.
“Chloe is right!”
Addie was in tears but didn’t dare say anything more. Wendy led her to a sunny corner outside the
vi.
“Addie, I’m sorry. I just can’t get along with Chloe, and I’m sure I’m partly to me for how she
treated you today. I’m the one who got you into this mess.”
Wiping away her tears, Addie grabbed Wendy’s hand with fervor. “I understand you. I watched you
grow up. of course, I know how you feel about Damon. If it wasn’t for Chloe showing up out of
nowhere, you’d definitely be Damon’s partner. Ms. Alonso, you still can’t let go of Damon?”
Hearing Addie say this, a bitter smile appeared on Wendy’s face. “Addie….how can I just let go…
my only dream since I was a kid was to be with Damon one day. All these years, that hasn’t
changed. When I found out Damon was suddenly with her, I’m heartbroken…”
Her feelings for Damon were real, and so were years of anticipation. Expressing her heartbreak
unavoidably revealed her true feelings.
Addie looked at her sympathetically, gently patting Wendy’s hand, “It’s a shame I can’t do anything
for you…”
Wendy suddenly clutched Addie’s hand, her eyes filled with despair. “Addie, I don’t want to give up
Damon just like that…”
“Huh?” Addie looked at Wendy in surprise…
Walking into the house, Addie quietly approached Elizabeth and respectfully asked, “Mrs. Harper,
what time is dinner? So I can prepare in time.” But Elizabeth didn’t look at her, instead turning to
Chloe, who was trimming the branches of a nt nearby, and asked, “Chloe, is Damon workingte
tonight? About what time will he be back?”
“No special arrangements have been mentioned, so he should be back at his usual time.”
