“Yes, Madam Zoe is hardworking so I agree.”“But she’s got a lot of responsibility, so naturally she’s going to have to work a lot harder than she did before.”When Wendy heard that, she did not hesitate at all and called the butler over. “Madam Zoe’s salary will be increased to 20 thousand this month. I’ll pay for it, so there’s no need to deduct it from the family’s expenses.”The butler nodded. Madam Zoe excitedly looked at Sarah. She had been thinking and wanting a pay rise but she did not expect it to happen because of Sarah’s words.She must do her best to help Sarah in the future.When Old Mistress saw that an agreement had been achieved, she said, “Let’s go, dinner is ready. Sarah, you’ll sit next to Wendy.”Sarah faintly glanced at Wendy; she still did not like this woman.However, with Wendy controlling the whole situation, no one in the Marshall family would pick on or upstage her which was quite nice. Undeniably, the dining table of a rich family was definitely dif
Sarah’s eyes were red. She turned her head around and glared at James. He was not wearing burial clothes this time, but she was upset when she looked at him.If it was not for him, she would not be trapped here.It was not impossible for her to get out if she wanted to, but if she used the Nine Yin Acupoint method again, the recovery she made on her five viscera and six bowels would be damaged again.She would have to start all over again.The more Sarah thought about it, the angrier she got. She reached out to James and fiercely pinched the back of his hand.However, the pressure of her pinch looked ruthless, but it was actually just a light touch.Thinking about it, James was just as much a victim as she was. It was pointless for her to blame him since he knew nothing.Nevertheless, Sarah thought his eyebrows moved a little when she casually pinched the man in front of her.After reading a book for a while, Sarah finally calmed herself down and went into the bathroom.She ha
It was a color she had never tried pulling off. She went in front of the mirror and spun around twice. The color was youthful, pretty, and very appropriate for her age.She was initially outraged for being locked in the bedroom, but it had dissipated slightly after putting on this new set of clothes.She then went to get her study materials and realized that they had been nicely packed in a backpack.It was a very beautiful satchel backpack. She thought it was just a common brand since she was not into luxury goods. She carried it on her back and stared at it for a while. The lake blue color sharply contrasted the rosy red suit, but they added value to each piece of the clothing.She took another beautiful turn and decided to leave.She reached out to James and pinched his face. “For the sake of the new clothes and new backpack, I’ll ignore the fact that your mother locked me in here, but I want to know how much they are so I can deduct it from my salary. I don’t want your stuff,
Sarah was startled and she knew that it was not easy for the servant, so she stopped interrogating.She sat down without hesitation.A servant immediately came over. She first served her a bowl of congee, then poured a glass of milk. Then, she stood next to Sarah. Whatever food Sarah picked, she moved and served them in front of Sarah.Sarah finally understood the meaning of being a queen. A queen not only had to have a strong aura, but she also had to be accompanied by a lot of servants which made it more queenly.No one was bothering her, and her recently upset stomach did not go on strike, so she was able to have a fulfilling meal.When she was done eating, she pointed at the little dumpling on the table, and asked, “What’s inside?” It was so delicious. She would have eaten two more if she was not full.“It’s stuffed with seafood. There are scallops, shrimps, dried oysters, dried scallops, dried squid…”“Oh, I see.” She understood why it was so delicious after hearing so many
“No, it’s all the best materials, and it has been tested for formaldehyde. The materials were sent here only after it was tested.” The warden lady was also supportive of the dormitory’s renovation, otherwise it was too archaic.Sarah nodded and thought that these renovation materials must be very expensive.However, it was none of her business whether it was expensive or not.Sarah returned to the dormitory with her beautiful outfit.She was reluctant to take off her new clothes, but she could wear them during the weekend. She usually had to wear her school uniform from Monday to Friday and even on Sunday night.All these years, her parents never bought her new clothes since she was the youngest in the family. The clothes she wore were those that were too small or too old for Molly and Yam.This outfit was the first new set of clothes she had ever had.Thinking that it was Wendy who had bought it for her, her bad impression of Wendy improved slightly.The next time when she saw
Everyone in the dormitory was gone.Sarah laid on the bed, feeling bored while reading a book. Inexplicably, James’ handsome face flashed in her mind. It was only a few days of contact, but she noticed that she would stare at James blankly every time she went to the Marshall house. She was not sure if it was because of her, but James’ complexion was getting better—it looked as if he could wake up in the next second. However, she understood that it would be possible only if she had successfully practiced her Nine Meridians and Eight Vessels method.That would take a month, and it could not be done immediately.The day after would be Saturday, so she would be visiting him.It had become a habit for her to visit him every day.It was not because of Wendy, but it was because they almost died, yet stayed alive together.Sarah was dazedly thinking about James when the voice of the warden lady suddenly came through. “Sarah, your parents are here to pick you up. Hurry up and go downsta
[James Marshall is awake.] After seeing those words, Sarah York sat up right away. She rubbed her eyes and reread the message on her phone. It still read, [James Marshall is awake].No, it was impossible. She had yet to master the Nine Meridians and Eight Vessels method.As her organs were injured, she could only improve her physique bit by bit every day. However, she was about half a month away from mastering it. Even if she wanted to use the method right then, she could not wake James Marshall up with it. Sarah sent a text that read, [Impossible]. Soon after Sarah York sent that text, John Lou replied almost instantly. [Someone snuck into Young Master Marshall’s room and now he’s hurt. Miss Sarah, do you want to come over and take a look at Young Master Marshall?] [Since James is hurt, you should call a doctor.] Sarah York replied nonchalantly. Based on what John Lou was saying, James probably suffered some form of physical trauma; it was probably better to get a do
“Yes, the doctor has taken a look at him. He’s worried that James might not wake up ever again. Could you come along with me, Ms. York?”Sarah thought about James Marshall’s piece of jade and looked back at her arm again. Every time she placed the piece of jade on her birthmark, she would receive countless information through her body. If James died, where would she get the chance to gain so much knowledge in the blink of an eye? Although she was not eager to see James, she thought about how she could get full marks for the history paper in her finals without even reading a book. She nodded and said, “Fine, wait for me.” Five minutes later, Sarah went downstairs all dressed up in her rose-colored suit. The duo walked toward the parking lot outside the dorm one after another. However, just as Sarah walked out of the female dorm, she was stopped in her tracks. A huge bouquet of roses appeared before her. “Sarah York, I have a crush on you. Can you be my girlfriend? I’ll tr
