“Excuse me, ma'am. You're standing in our way.”
Tracy felt mortified when the manager asked her to move. Putting her hands on her hips, she made a demand in false bravado.
“Even if you're not changing the flowers, you should at least clean the dust on the fence.”
Glancing at Tracy, Hailey replied nonchalantly, “I'm sorry, ma'am. It's common for alfresco gardens to get dusty. Our cleaning team's duty is to clean the house's exteriors only once weekly. If you have a problem with the dust here, you should clean it yourself.”
Hailey's words infuriated Tracy beyond measure, and the latter shot a death glare at Donald before stomping back into the mansion.
Upon re-entering the mansion, she saw everyone sitting at the dining table, enjoying breakfast.
Tracy recounted everything that had happened earlier to them and pointed a finger at Donald before embarking on her chastisement.
“Leonard, Jennifer is quite a catch herself. I don't understand why you allow her to be with someone like Donald. Did you not see what happened? I've only been here for less than a day—and that man is already picking a fight with me! What's wrong with asking them to change the chrysanthemums? That flower means death, so why plant them in the garden?”
After all, to Leonard, Donald was his son-in-law, and the latter had treated Leonard and his family pretty decently for the past few years.
It wasn't easy for them to be able to live happily and peacefully as a family, but Tracy just had to mess everything up with her unsolicited opinions.
At this thought, Leonard smacked the table in anger. “Donald is the man Jennifer chose for herself. I also acknowledge him as my son-in-law. If you have anything against him, feel free to leave.”
Leonard's statement befuddled Tracy, for the man had always been a weak-kneed person in her eyes.
