Never in Lady Wilson's wildest dream did she expect that Hannah, who was always so submissive, would retaliate and shout back at her.
Hannah's backbiting drove her up the wall. However, after realizing that she had no backup now, she was left utterly deflated and dared not say a word.
If she had been nicer to Jennifer at the beginning, the three of them would have become her loyal lapdogs, and Hannah would not dare to make a fuss.
Unfortunately, now she had made enemies with Jennifer and the ladies, and if she offended Hannah at this time, she would have no one else to help her.
Therefore, she said sheepishly, "I don’t want to fight with you. Hurry and get Christopher back to his room, and then carry Harold in!" 2
Grimaced in pain and choking with sobs, Christopher said, "Mom, thank goodness you still remember me. I can barely hold myself any longer..." s
Lady Wilson hurriedly said, "Wendy, Hannah. Hurry u p and carry Christopher back to his room so that he can take a rest."
As the two of them struggled to carry Christopher to the elevator, Wendy, feeling worn out, said to Jennifer, "Can't the three of you come over and help out? You're just going to stand there and watch?" 2
Jennifer said with a blank face, "When we first came here, we really thought about repaying your favors by working extremely hard, but your grandma rejected u s. So now, we are just tenants who stay under the same roof. You're blessed if we help you, but we are not obliged to!"
Wendy huffed angrily, "Can't you just lend us a hand?"
Jennifer shook her head. "Nope, sorry. We don't want t o!"
Then, she turned to Lady Wilson and said, "The biggest room on the third floor is mine now!" 2
Rooted to the spot and brimming with tears, Lady Wilson was in towering rage but she dared not say anything. 1
After all, she caused the trouble herself, so she could only swallow all the humiliation silently. 1
Otherwise, Jennifer would never let her off the hook!
