"Come on, Miss Delia, where does it hurt?" As soon as they entered the room on the second floor, Jenna took out some ointment from the first aid kit and smiled faintly.
"Come on, that much water can't hurt me. Minnie was probably burnt. Ha, this is just too easy." Sabrina clapped her hands and giggled.
"You are a real naughty girl." Jenna couldn't help laughing. She had read Sabrina's mind. This was a disguise to punish Aria and Minnie. How could Jenna not make sense of it? Even Hansen would have seen it early but no one exposed this or stopped her.
"Tell me, what happened these days?" Jenna brought Sabrina to the sofa and asked solemnly.
"Jenna, nothing can escape your eyes." Sabrina smiled embarrassedly.
"Of course. Our meek and lovely little princess is obviously mad. Why would you come up with this idea if not so?" Jenna said with a smile.
Sabrina's face blushed and she smiled. "You know me well, Jenna. These days when you were not here, those sl*ts were on top of their heads. They were always ordering me around Green Jade Garden. It's my turn to bully them this time. What’s even more hateful is Minnie; who does she think she is? Always ordering the servants around. Yesterday, she even complained about Larry to Marissa. She got scolded horribly. That was not all. These days, she went to Ink Garden from time to time, and tried to befriend the servants there, even Meroy."
At this point, she became more emotional. Her face flushed and her entire body fueled with resentment. "I have never seen such a shameless woman. With Aria, she did whatever she wanted in the manor. Who does Aria think she is? Just because she's pregnant, she wants the whole world to comply with her. I can see that Hansen doesn’ t like her at all but she's still staying here, forcing Hansen to marry her. This is a huge decision, I believe that Hansen would not be so stupid. If he really wants to marry such a woman, it will ruin the Richards Group."
Sabrina spoke with such righteousness.
Jenna's eyes wandered around and gradually, she fell silent.
"Sabrina, did you say that Minnie would often go to Ink Garden these days?" After a while, she took Sabrina's hand and asked solemnly. "Not just these few days, she had started doing this a long time ago. From what I observed, she is very close to one of Grandma's servants named Julian. She is getting more and more stuck-up each day. Ugh, I hate this. Who is she to do these anyway?" Sabrina felt bitter on the thought of Minnie's snobbiness.
Jenna's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Minnie had gone to Ink Garden since the very beginning but why didn't she see her before? Did she deliberately avoid her?
She remembered that when Minnie followed Aria to visit Vivian in Ink Garden that day, she was standing beside Aria, avoiding her stare. Minnie looked suspicious. Thinking about it this instant, Jenna gasped. Could it be...?
She didn't dare to think about it.
"Jenna, I heard that Minnie is your cousin, right?" Sabrina asked as she appeared to recall something.
Jenna looked serious and nodded with a sigh.
"It's really weird. How can the people who came out of the same ancestry be so different? People will tend to remember your gentleness but Minnie is too vulgar to even look at. Humans are so different in their own ways." Sabrina felt a little guilty and asked, "Jenna, are you mad at me for pulling a prank on your cousin?"
"How could I? She is awful. Even if it's not by you, sooner or later she will be punished." Jenna smiled and patted Sabrina's hand to comfort her worries.
She stood up and walked to the window, her face slightly solemn. She looked at the dark night sky outside, full of thoughts.
Minnie was just a pawn of Aria's.
If Aria wanted to use her, Minnie could not escape.
She treated her as the enemy but was so close to Aria. Wasn't this seeking her own death?
With a sigh, Jenna's mood shifted.
It was just that Minnie was still young and she was from the Murphy family. Like her cousin, Jenna had the responsibility to bring her onto the right path.
But, would she listen?
Jenna let out another sigh before falling silent.
"Jenna, you're not worried about that cousin of yours, are you?" After mentioning Minnie, Sabrina saw that Jenna was frustrated and kept silent the entire time. She couldn't help but look at her and asked in surprise.
"Hey." Jenna sighed, shook her head, and smiled bitterly. "Sabrina, I have tried advising her a long time ago. Not only did she not listen, but she also gave me the dirty look. Now, everything is too late. She has to take responsibility for her own actions, no one can help her."
Sure enough, she was still worried about Minnie and Sabrina was not pleased.
"Jenna, I didn't mean to say this but Minnie is a stupid woman. Even if she is your cousin, you should not worry about her. It is just not what family does. Are you sure both of you are related? You are just too kind- hearted. Don't worry about her, some people are not worth worrying about," Sabrina reasoned, full of worry about Jenna.
Jenna understood her concerns and replied with a smile, "Sabrina, go to bed early. Tomorrow, I will check on the New Year banquet you prepared. I can't wait to see how capable you are in preparing this."
When Sabrina heard this, she blushed and answered, "If you see anything weird tomorrow, please don't judge. But, of course, if everything is good, feel free to praise me. It would be better if you expressed your thanks through gifts."
