Sheila stood up angrily, "Ellinor sure knows how to put on airs! Still keeping us waiting? Is she too chicken to come down? I'll go get her!"
With that, Sheila impatiently prepared to go upstairs.
Seeing this, Devin frowned immediately, signaling the servants to stop her with his eyes.
Sheila looked at the servants blocking her way and said discontentedly, "Move out of my way! Don’t block the road!"
The servants didn't move; they were still standing in front of her, not letting her go upstairs.
"I'm sorry, but the upstairs area is the private domain of the Blanchet family's master. Guests can't just barge in; I hope you understand."
Sheila insisted, "You dare to stop me? I'm no guest! I hope you know I'm the real mistress of this house."
"Sheila, why so grumpy this early in the morning?"
Ellinor's voice suddenly came from upstairs, interrupting Sheila's words.
Looking up, all Sheila could see was that languid, smiling Ellinor.
Ellinor was still in that most annoying pose of hers; even with no makeup, she was still so beautiful that it was jealousy-inducing!
