"Yes, that's what Miss Conrad said." The caregiver replied humbly with a slight bow.
"Please return," Yvonne gave her a small smile.
"Huh?" The caregiver was a little confused.
"I won't be meeting her. Besides, I'm not in the state to get out of bed." Yvonne lifted her left arm that was connected to an IV drip.
There was no point in meeting Jacqueline.
Her behavior from the last meeting had definitely left an impression on her.
Yvonne felt that it was best for her to keep her distance from that two-faced woman to avoid being accused of something she didn't do.
The caregiver was instantly flustered because she didn't expect Yvonne to refuse her so blatantly. "Miss Frey, I know you feel troubled, but Miss Conrad said that she must see you. Otherwise..."
"Wait!" Sue couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the caregiver with a sullen face. "Otherwise what? You think only Miss Conrad is so important and our madam isn’t? Why must madam meet her just because she wants to see her?" 2
Yvonne nodded in agreement.
"Oh no..." The caregiver almost cried from panic. She waved her hands and frantically explained, "I didn't say that, I was just relaying Miss Conrad's words."
"I don't care who said it!" Sue stood with hands on her waist and spoke aggressively, "Go back and ask her why should madam be the one to go over there when she's the one who wants to see her? Can’t she come here herself?"
"Miss Conrad can't come over because she just had her surgery," the caregiver shrank her neck and mumbled timidly.
Sue laughed out of anger. "Isn't it the same for madam? Don't go forgetting the fact that madam is only lying here because she has saved her life. How different is Miss Conrad from an ingrate to be treating her savior this way?"
"Well..." The caregiver was at a loss for words.
Sue pushed her out of the door hatefully. "Alright, enough. Hurry up and leave. Our madam isn't going to meet her. Tell her if she has something to say, then she can either give madam a call or come over herself. Otherwise, she can forget about it!" 4
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
Sue dusted her hands and came back. "What the hell. Does she think she's a princess? Why should you go over to meet her?”
"Sue..." Yvonne was stunned by her every action and just had to give her a thumbs-up. "You're really impressive for sending her away so easily.”
Sue chuckled, "You must be blunt when it comes to dealing with people like them, especially that Conrad woman. If you don't stand your ground, she'll step all over you. That woman is really nasty."
"I’ve already experienced it firsthand," Yvonne sighed ruefully.
"Oh?" Sue’s curiosity was piqued. "Did something happen between the two of you?"
"Well, we had a little fight."
Yvonne briefly told Sue about everything that happened between her and Jacqueline when they met the other day.
After listening to the story, Sue slapped the table angrily. "What a vile person she is! She’s probably the most ungrateful person in the world. How disgusting for her to pretend like she's innocent! Sir is the only one who hasn't seen her real face."
The corners of Yvonne's mouth twitched as she agreed with Sue’s words.
Through her observation and analysis, the Jacqueline that Henry knew was a totally different person.
"Madam, you need to stay away from that Conrad woman from now on." Sue brought a glass of water to Yvonne’s lips.
Yvonne happened to be a little thirsty, so she took a few sips. "Stay away?"
To think that Sue was giving her that kind of advice too, it would seem like Jacqueline was more dangerous than she expected.
"Yes, stay as far away as you can!" Sue looked at Yvonne with a serious expression. "When that woman was dating sir back then, she was terrifyingly possessive. Master Lancaster did so much to finally make them break up. Now that you're Mr. Lancaster's wife, I worry that she might do something to you out o f jealousy."
