One of the housekeepers was surprised to learn that Arielle was familiar with their language. She was quick to answer the woman's question, “This is the general's mansion, but we don't know who sent you here, either.”
Dennis had already made it clear that the woman in front of them belonged to the general.
Thus, the housekeeper thought she should treat Arielle better so that the latter would consider her a trusted lackey. That way, her position in the household would also elevate along with Arielle.
The general's mansion? Why did Sophia take me here?
Arielle didn't need to be a genius to know that Sophia was the one who kidnapped her. After all, Clyde, who was kind and innocent, would never do something like that to her.
Sophia, on the other hand, made Arielle feel uncomfortable from the very beginning. She sensed a malicious aura from Sophia from the moment they met, but she didn't expect the latter to do something as cruel as this.
“Do you guys know why I'm here?” asked Arielle while smiling at the housekeepers.
Though it looks like she has some ulterior schemes of her own, she doesn't seem smart. Maybe I can get some information from her.
“Of course I do,” replied the housekeeper right away after she heard Arielle's question. “You are sent here to become the general's wife.”
“Miss, the general is a bit older, but he doesn't look his age at all. More importantly, he doesn't have a son. If you were to bear him a boy, the baby will be the future heir, and your position in the household will only be second to the general.”
The housekeeper became increasingly excited as she spoke. Toward the end of her sentence, her tone was filled with reverence, as if she was already treating Arielle like her boss.
Arielle, however, felt her heart sinking after she heard all that. She was about to ask some more questions when a young girl suddenly barged in.
The girl ran toward Arielle right away and shouted at her, “You evil woman. You are not allowed to take my daddy away from me!”
“Lena, it's rude to shout like that.”
