Initially, when Nora had come to live with the Smiths, everyone still felt some disdain for her. They felt that she was just a wild chicken who had become a phoenix thanks to her background. However, at this moment, everyone admired her from the bottom of their hearts.
On the way back to her room, all the servants who saw her stood at a distance and bowed to her to express their apologies.
The servants in the entire manor had a 180-degree change in attitude toward her!
Nora entered the living room. The housekeeper, Lucy, who had just been promoted by Joel, hurried over. "Miss Nora, you're finally back! Do you have any orders for me?"
Nora glanced at him.
Lucy was in her thirties. She looked very young and energetic. Her attitude toward her was very respectful.
Nora pointed at Lily. "This is my assistant. She will be staying here for a period of time. Please arrange a guest room for her."
"No problem!"
Lucy immediately said, "Miss Lily, you can wait in the living room and tell me the style of the room you like. I'll choose a guest room that you like."
Nora was going upstairs to take a shower, so she went up first.
Lily sat in the living room. After choosing a guest room, Lucy arranged for someone to tidy it up and accompany her.
At this moment, Yvonne suddenly walked down and casually instructed, "Lucy, come over. I have something to tell you."
Lucy was stunned and looked at Lily. "Miss Yvonne, there's... a guest here."
Yvonne's gaze instantly turned sharp as she stared at Lucy. "Lucy, since you're in this family, you should understand who the real daughter of this family is! The entire Smiths belong to my father!"
Lucy was Joel's caretaker.
It could be said that she was the nanny who had taken care of Joel since he was young. Because she was meticulous and smart, she had always worked for the Smiths. 1
As Joel grew up, Lucy had also slowly been promoted and given a raise from taking care of him. Before Florence was taken away by the police, her words at home already carried a lot of weight.
Even Florence and Yvonne were polite to her because of Joel.
After all, Florence was already old, and Joel was the new head of the Smiths. Her future status could be imagined.
Lucy had watched Yvonne grow up. She was loyal to Joel, so she naturally disliked Yvonne.
After all... Joel was the one Ian had chosen. Yvonne was Ian's adopted daughter, but she had a high status at home and always suppressed others.
In the past, when she saw Maureen giving in to Yvonne, she couldn't help but wonder if Joel would give in to her at home when he got married in the future.
However, Joel's wife would be the madam of the Smiths’ She would also be the future matriarch of the Smiths!
Therefore, Lucy and Yvonne were born to be enemies.
Coupled with the fact that Old Maddy had been poisoned, everyone knew that Florence was either under Yvonne's orders or had been deceived. Therefore, they
felt even more disdain for Yvonne.
Yvonne had lost control of the family, and Lucy was now in charge of the family's matters.
Lucy did not feel threatened by her words. She only smiled and said, "Miss Yvonne, from what you're saying, you're older than Miss Nora. Of course, you're the eldest daughter of the Smiths’ It's just that I still have a guest here. Furthermore, Mr. Joel has just handed the house to me. I have all kinds of miscellaneous matters to deal with here. I'm a quiet person and I'm cautious in my actions. I don't dare to make any mistakes or embarrass myself in front of a guest. If news of this gets out, no one will scold me. They will only say that the Smiths' upbringing is bad. Don't you think so?"
Yvonne: "I!"
She had long known that Lucy was not a pushover, but she did not expect her to rebut her like this.
Yvonne's face turned red and white.
The surrounding servants were clearly working, but Yvonne knew that they must have strained their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
After Joel fired the housekeeper, Yvonne knew that Lucy would definitely hit her while she was down. When she made things difficult for Lucy earlier, she wanted everyone to see that even if she had done something wrong, she was still the owner of the Smiths’
However, she did not expect to meet a wall with Lucy.
