Chapter 20 Cute
“What?” Susan looked at the dress and found a large smudge of cream. She frowned and hesitated, “Ten minutes is probably not enough….”
Elsie interrupted sternly, “I don’t care what you do! Just hurry to clean it and bring me a new dress!”
Susan thought for a while and nodded, “Alright, I’ll try my best.”
The former servant was called Lola, who had been fired by Maury. Susan was in her fifties, a little older than Lola. Though Susan looked old, she was kind-hearted and diligent. Most importantly, she was good at taking care of people. After knowing Emily’s condition, she would cook nice dishes for Emily every day and would tell stories to Emily before Emily went to bed.
Besides, Susan was genial and smiled quite a lot, so she got along well with other servants soon after she came to work in the Britt’s.
Just as Susan was about to leave, she looked up and saw Emily standing nearby with her head down. Meanwhile, Emily raised her head and gave Susan a diffident smile.
Emily looked extremely pathetic.
Susan thought that Emily had been bullied by Elsie, so she stretched out her hand and said, “Miss Emily, let’s go get some food, shall we? There is a lot of delicious food outside!”
“Hurry to clean my dress!” Elsie roared and was enraged at the sight of Emily’s pitiful face. “Scram. You’re done here.”
Then Emily quickly grabbed Susan’s hand and ran out.
Susan led Emily to the hall and let go of her, whispering, “Miss Emily, you should avoid Miss Elsie. Don’t offend her when you’re alone at home. Do you understand?”
Emily pretended to be puzzled and said, “But she is nice to me.”
Susan sighed, “Fine, just forget it. You can go get yourself some food now. I have a job to do.”
“OK.” Emily beamed and waved at Susan.
However, Emily’s smile faded after she turned around. In this family, she didn’t dare to believe anyone but Eliot.
The guests in the hall were all dancing. Emily casually looked around and saw Marquise. In the past life, he remarried that same year when his ex-wife passed away. This had been on the news, and Emily had seen his wedding photos.
Who would have thought that he was actually a bastard though he looked gentle and handsome? Emily felt pity for the woman who was dancing with him now.
Just as Emily turned around, she saw Marquise’s date. It was actually Sydnee Dickerson. In Emily’s previous life, Sydnee had lent a helping hand and frequently sent things to Emily after the Britt Group went bankrupt.
Sydnee was Elsie’s college classmate, but Elsie didn’t like her. She invited Sydnee to the party just to show off how fancy her birthday party was.
Sydnee came from a literary family. Her parents were honest and upright, and she and her siblings were decent and well-bred.
After the Britt family went broke, Eliot sent Emily to the countryside, where she met Sydnee. But at that time, Sydnee was very depressed because of the failure of her marriage, and her voice became rough, totally different from the sweet and soft voice that Emily had just heard on the second floor.
Emily found herself ridiculous because she didn’t realize that Sydnee’s husband was Marquise even though Sydnee had told Emily about her failed marriage.
Emily swore that she would never sit back and watch Marquise get close to Sydnee in this life!
The song ended.
The next was a cheerful song, and then the guests continued to dance.
Sydnee seemed to be tired and waved at Marquise, walking to the dessert area for some drink.
Marquise followed her closely.
Emily wore a faint smile with coldness in her eyes. ‘Marquise, you’re dead for sure.’
Vincent, who had been watching Emily from a distance, suddenly smiled.
‘She looks quite cute when she is angry.’
Standing the closest to Vincent, Rex noticed Vincent’s smile and immediately looked over.
Rex was astounded.
‘Wow! Mr. Vincent really loses his heart to that little retard!’
