Chapter 78 May I Help You?
Someone knocked on her door before Avery responded. She smiled and stopped Aunt Bridgette from opening the door. She put on a gown on top of her pajamas, and then she walked to the door. She opened the door slightly and asked, “May I help you?”
Her mother pushed her daughter hard. Avery staggered back for a few steps. Aunt Bridgette held her before she fell down. She looked at Elizabeth coldly as if she was giving her a warning.
Mrs Martins was livid, “Didn’t I tell you to move your clothes to your nanny’s bedroom?” Avery smiled but it didn’t reach her eyes and asked, “In which capacity are you ordering me to leave my bedroom and move to my mother’s bedroom?”
Her mother was taken aback when she heard Avery’s words. She glanced at Bridgette and said, “Is Lily not the daughter of your beloved uncle? How would he feel when he heard that you failed to treat her only daughter well?”
Avery laughed out loud and said, “Mrs Martins, you have to practice what you preach. I have never seen you treating our guests with respect. Also, have you ever seen me sleeping in your precious niece’s bedroom when I am visiting her house?”
Her mother didn’t know how to respond because every time Avery visited the Parker family she slept at the hotel. Avery looked at them and said, “I heard that your beloved niece was chased away by her father, and I am very sad for my handsome uncle to have a rotten daughter like Lily.
Also, this is my house, and no one has the authority to order me around except my father. As I indicated before, Mrs Martins, you are just a surrogate mother to me. Please leave, you are disturbing me.” Then she pushed her mother out of her bedroom and slammed the door on her face.
Lily was standing behind her aunt. When Avery pushed her mother, Lily staggered and fell down. Her aunt was so concerned and asked, “Are you hurt, Lily?” Lily’s eyes were welling with tears. She had never been treated like that since she was born.
Aunt Elizabeth helped Lily to her feet, and then they went to the first floor. She wanted to move Aunt Rose out of her bedroom but when she remembered the cruelty, she received from her husband she decided against it.
She decided to go to Hope’s bedroom because she didn’t like her. Mrs Martins knocked on the door several times, but no one opened the door. She called Hope’s name, then she opened the door.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Mrs Martins was so upset and asked, “Why did you take so long to open the door? Move your things to the servants’ quarters immediately. I need this room for my niece. She is very tired; she wants to rest.”
Hope laughed out loud and replied, “Let me remind you, Madam, what Mr Martins told me twenty years ago. He told me that this was my room, and no one would sleep here besides me and my friend. Why don’t you sleep with her in your bedroom?”
Mrs Martins was shocked to hear Hope’s words. It was clear that her husband valued the helpers more than her. She was overwhelmed with bitterness. She then asked Hope to move Lily’s suitcases to her bedroom.
Hope looked at her and asked, “Madam, is your niece disabled? Little girl, you have to get rid of your Princess syndrome in this house. Even our young Miss has never asked us to move things for her.”
Mrs Martins looked at Hope coldly, and then they left. She was fuming at being humiliated by a mere servant in front of her beloved niece. Lily had six big suitcases and two bags. She helped Lily to move her suitcases to her bedroom.
The following day was June 16, Youth Day. There was no school. Lily didn’t sleep well; she was waiting for her parents to ask her to come back home. When she opened her eyes, she looked at her phone to see if there were any missed calls but there were none.
At that moment, Lily received a text message from her mother. She deleted her mother’s text message without reading it. Then she blocked her. Unbeknownst to her, her mother had told her that they had decided to go to Paris since she was staying with her aunt. Also, she told her that they loved her so much.
Lily told herself that she would never speak to her parents until they bought her a private jet. She held a grudge against Avery and Hope for humiliating her and her aunt. She woke up very late and asked Hope to make breakfast for her.
It was Hope day off that day. She went to the kitchen and made scrambled eggs, soft eggs; boiled eggs, toasted brown bread, muffins, and porridge, then she put the food on the dining table.
Lily looked at the food and said, “Do you think I am a pig? Why did you prepare so much food? Unfortunately, I don’t like the food you have prepared. Take it away.”
Hope smiled faintly at her, and then she took the food away. She sat down in the living room and started eating. Butler Bruce smiled at her and asked, “Do you mind if I join you?”
Hope replied, “We can’t waste food, please join me.” Butler Bruce ate the scrambled eggs and muffins.
When they were finished eating, they took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them. Lily was so upset, her stomach started grumbling. She was really hungry. She wanted to teach Hope a lesson, but it backfired.
Lily walked to the kitchen and asked, “Where is my food?” Hope replied smiling, “If I remember correctly, there are no helpers in your house. Therefore, you can cook your food yourself.
I made you a delicious breakfast from the goodness of my heart, but you spit on my face. The young lady of this house, Miss Martins, has never asked me to do anything for her since she was born, even though I am willing to do anything for her.”
At that moment, Avery walked into the kitchen and greeted everyone with a smile. Shortly afterwards, Aunt Bridgette walked into the kitchen. Avery smiled sweetly at her and asked bowing, “Since its Youth Day today, let me serve you, my Lady. What do you want to eat, my Lady?”
