Chapter 1179


    Addie frowned, “Don’t sweat it. They’re probably just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers.”


    “But even if they’re just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers, it shows that she’s really


    attractive.”


    “Hmph! What’s so attractive about such a cold–hearted woman?” After saying this, Addie packed up


    the first–aid kit. “Wait here for a bit, I’ll find you some clothes.”


    When it was time for lunch, Wendy came downstairs. The busy staff’s eyes turned a bit strange at


    the sight of Wendy. Some even frowned, and their attitude towards Wendy turned cold.


    It wasn’t until Wendy was led to the dining room by Addie that a few of the staff began to chat.


    Is Wendy wearing Damon’s clothes?”


    “Exactly! I’ve seen Damon wearing it a few times, it’s one of his most worn pieces.”


    “How did it end up on her?“,


    “Wendy not only took Damon’s room, but she’s also wearing his clothes. Has she no shame?”


    “I’ve seen it all now, there really are such shameless people in this world.”


    Their whispers reached Wendy and Addie’s ears, causing Addie’s face to turn green.-


    These gossipy servants! I’ll show them!”


    After saying this, Addie left Wendy.


    “Addie…”


    Wendy watched her retreating figure, although she was trying to stop her, she–didn’t actually pull


    her back.


    “Watch your mouths, Wendy is our guest! If there’s any more disrespect towards her, I will make


    you leave at once! The Harper family can’t tolerate such impolite people!”


    After Addie finished, the staff all lowered their heads, keeping their mouths shut. From the first day


    Addie was transferred from Hong Kong, she had been calling the shots here, giving them a show of


    strength right from the start.


    The wages here were high, and even if they found other normal jobs, it wouldn’t match half of what


    they earned here, so they could only swallow their anger at Addie’s reprimanding.


    At this time, Wendy came over, gently holding onto Addie’s arm. “Addie, don’t be like this, they


    haven’t done anything to me, and they’ve been helping to take care of me. Don’t scare them


    anymore. They’re having a hard time too…”


    Addie pursed her lips slightly, contemted for a moment, then red at them. “See that? Ms.


    Wendy is so considerate of you. She’s the real victim here, she should have been treated better


    when she came back home! Now she has to recover from her injuries here, endure your ostracism


    and ridicule, and still speak up for you. How could you do that?


    “What did Chloe give you that made you so loyal to her? I advise you to open your eyes and see


    clearly! If you can ept Chloe, you should ept Wendy


    even more.”


    The servants looked at each other, feeling that she was making sense, but something felt off.”


    At this time, Marina rushed over from behind hearing themotion, seeing Addie scolding people,


    she immediately stepped forward. “Addie, Ms. Alonso, Presley is urging you to eat.”


    Addie red at them once more, then nced at Marina. “Marina, these people were under your


    charge before. They probably hold some resentment towards me. Ms. Wendy is our most important


    guest, and she may even be the future mistress of our house. Don’t let your personal feelings


    involve the other servants!”

    “What future mistress. Chloe has already…”


    One of the servants couldn’t stand Addie’s two–faced behavior and wanted to speak out, but was


    promptly stopped by Marina.


    “Marina!”


    Marina signaled to the servant, who stomped her foot and lowered her head, no longer speaking.


    Seeing this, Addie snorted in mockery, “Looks like Marina still holds the most authority. Just one


    word–from her and they all quiet down.”


    Marina turned to Addie, ‘Addie, that’s not authority. They may be young, but they have their own


    thoughts. They’ve done their jobs and served who they needed to serve; we can’t overstep and


    restrict them too much.


    “We’re all doing our best in this house, I just have more experience and am older. At most I’m like


    an elder to them. When they make mistakes, I correct them, and when they haven’t, I prevent them


    from making mistakes. In the end, I’m the same as them, just a servant. Whether they listen or not


    depends on their own judgment of right and wrong.


    “Like all the things you just said, you’re simply trying to tell them that Ms. Wendy is more


    respectable and worth following than Ms. Chloe. Regardless of who they choose, will their jobs


    won’t change?”


    “What…”


    “Ms. Wendy, the master is waiting for you to have lunch.” Before Addie could finish, Marina turned


    to Wendy.


    Wendy frowned at Marina, then gave a smallugh. “It seems Marina is a wise person. Her words


    make a lot of sense.”


    Seeing this, Addie’s face turned sour, had Wendy taken a liking to Marina?


    “But Marina, Addie was just helping me vent, she didn’t mean anything else. As for thepétition


    between me and Ms. Chloe, it doesn’t exist at all. I


    think you misunderstood.”


    Marina smiled openly, “Maybe, I may have been a bit excessive, I hope Addie doesn’t mind.”


    In front of everyone, and with Wendy giving her an out, Addie just grunted in response, then led


    Wendy towards the dining room.


    It wasn’t until they werepletely out of sight that the others gathered together.
