Gazing at the maid who was putting on an act of pitifulness, Evelyn Bert slightly lowered her head, concealing the disgust in her eyes. The fleeting jealousy in the maid's eyes just now naturally did not escape her notice. She had seen such looks too many times in the Fang household; she didn't need to hear the words to guess what the maid was thinking."Little Madam, be a good girl and drink it. After you drink, you can go to sleep," the maid said, bringing the milk closer to Evelyn Bert, with an air that suggested 'you will drink whether you like it or not.' The sweet scent of the milk filled the air, and Evelyn Bert instantly detected another odor mixed within. A dark glint flashed across her tea-brown eyes, and a barely perceptible sneer curled her rosy lips."No, no, I want to see Sister Xiaozhou! I want to see Sister Xiaozhou!"Seeing the girl start to throw a tantrum, the smile on the maid's face froze, and her hand holding the tray tightened. She awkwardly laughed and said,

While completely unaware of the situation, Xiaozhou simply assumed that her young mistress was just feeling bored and didn't think too deeply about it. After clearing away the dishes and washing them, she went on to do other tasks. When she was called back, she only saw her young mistress and the male "fox spirit"—no, the guest—engaged in a confrontational scene."Looks like you must be the foolish Miss Fang that Orville Quiller brought home, right?""Who are you?" Evelyn Bert, suppressing her anger, asked with a coy tone.Upon hearing this, the man flashed what he thought was a charming smile and extended his hand towards her. "Hello, little sister. My name is Calvin Beck."Evelyn Bert's mouth twitched involuntarily. "..."Does he really think he's being very unique?"Oh~ I get it!"Calvin Beck raised an eyebrow, surprised that this supposedly foolish Miss Fang knew who he was. Had his reputation spread so far in the country already?But soon, his self-centered thoughts were s

Time flies, and before she knew it, autumn had arrived.According to Xiaozhou, this garden used to be filled with a vast expanse of pink roses. When they were in full bloom, their fragrance would permeate the entire villa. Unfortunately, she came too late and missed it.This year, some of the pink roses were removed, and a few winter plum trees were planted instead. Once winter arrives, she will be able to enjoy the plum blossoms.She calculated the time; it had been almost three months since she married into the Huo family. Every day, aside from watching cartoons, she did nothing but eat, and as a result, she had gained a significant amount of weight.Although she had been trying to control her food intake, it seemed to have no effect, leading to her current state. However, she had grown accustomed to it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.After all, who wouldn't want to live like a parasite?Thinking this way, Evelyn Bert felt instantly relaxed and more at ea

In the study.Orville Quiller, who was engrossed in his work, heard a commotion and raised his head from the pile of documents, frowning. With a calm voice, he asked, "What's happening downstairs?"Upon hearing this, Dennis Walkley shook his head and replied, "President, I don't know either."He had been with his president since the start of the workday, and indeed, he didn't know what was going on. But the noise was quite loud, indicating it wasn't a small matter."Go and check it out," Orville Quiller ordered, frowning.Dennis Walkley nodded and immediately stood up, heading towards the door of the study.When he saw the chaotic scene downstairs, he was completely stunned, his mouth wide open as if it could fit an egg. He thought he might be seeing things, so he quickly rubbed his eyes, but when he looked again, the scene was even more chaotic than before.He shouted loudly, "President, there's a brawl downstairs!"Orville Quiller thought he had misheard and asked, "What did

This time, Evelyn Bert not only didn't dodge but instead reached out to grab Melissa Bert's wrist and twisted it lightly.A "crack" was heard, and Melissa Bert's wrist dislocated instantly."Ahhh!!"The pig-slaughtering-like wail echoed throughout the entire villa.It also disturbed Orville Quiller. His thick eyelashes fluttered, and his deep, dark eyes lifted slightly, landing on the young girl standing a few steps away with her back to him. His eyebrows raised, and his expression changed, but quickly returned to normal.Didn't outsiders say that the eldest Miss of the Fang family had been a fool for over a decade?Didn't they also say that the eldest Miss of the Fang family was frail, sickly, and timid?So why, when it came to him, did she not only seem smart but bold enough to cause trouble?Even he was shocked, let alone Aunt Lu and the others.The one who reacted most strongly was Rita Clare. Seeing Melissa Bert's dislocated wrist, then looking at Melissa Bert's hand, a h
