"Hehe." Anne chuckled sinisterly. "Missus, if you're still not divorced with Master Ares, then of course we won’t be so thick-skinned to think about taking your money. However, you're divorced now and you're living in a house bought by the Severes and eating the food provided by the Severes. Do you still think we're two families?"
"That's the mindset of a robber!" Angeline said angrily.
The more Anne spoke, the more pleased with herself she became. "Am I wrong? You brought your children into Severe Manor, so you should treat this place as your home and go through this crisis with us. Master, do you think I’m right?"
George fell silent.
At that moment, everyone who sided with the second wife was glaring at Angeline like she was the public enemy.
Suddenly, there was a low sound of a car honking outside. It broke the tense atmosphere inside the house.
Shirley got up to welcome the guest.
After a while, Finn pushed Jay inside the house.
Behind them were two women in chefs' outfits.
When Anne saw the chefs, there was a surprised glint i
n her eyes.
"Oh, we were still wondering who should cook for us. Master Ares, you’re providing help in our hour of need by sending over two chefs."
Jay glanced at her coldly. "They will only serve my children."
Anne became speechless.
Angeline peered at the clock on the wall and reminded Anne. "Aunty Connors, you should go cook now."
Anne said with reluctance, "There are so many people i n this house. Why should I serve all of you?"
Jay's sharp eyes were icy. He remembered how Angeline had made dinner for this entire household without a single complaint.
