“Wendy, Molly has been here for a few days and she has been taking care of James. It’s hard work without merit. Don’t you think it’s too cruel to just push her away?” said Julia, the second daughter-in-law.She noticed that James’ complexion was much ruddier, so she panicked. She absolutely could not let this Sarah woman wake James up. Therefore, she quickly supported Molly. Undeniably, while Molly accompanied James for those few days, James did not improve at all and instead, had deteriorated every single day.The obvious difference was clear to her.All she wanted was for James to die quickly so her son would stand a chance to compete for the CEO of Marshall Group. “Sis-in-law, James is my son. I’ll take care of him myself. If you have time, you’d care for your son who hasn’t been home for a week… Just in case he had been led astray by other people. At that time, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.” Wendy looked at Jenny charismatically and said word by word.“Xavier hasn
“This…” Madam Zoe hesitated and was afraid to answer. Every servant in the Marshall family had different salaries which they were not allowed to disclose.“She receives ten thousand bucks. If you want a monthly salary, I’ll give you a million a month if you’re able to wake James up.”“Mum, are you out of your mind? Her skill isn't worth that much. Even my allowance is a million per month,” Roxane disagreed.“Shut up.” Wendy still had to show a little grace toward an outsider, but she just yelled at her daughter without restraint. Nothing was more important than waking James up.Since everyone thought James was dead, every member of the Marshall family was eyeing for the position of CEO. She had previously used the excuse that James would wake up soon so she did not need to re-nominate a new CEO from the Marshall family. However, everyone in the Marshall family was restlessly pressuring her after seeing James showing no sign of waking up at all.Everyone looked at Sarah and forgot
“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
