Sheila stood up angrily. âEllinor sure knows how to put on airs! Still keeping us waiting? Is she too chicken to come down? Iâll go get her!â
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, âMove out of my way! Donât block the road!â
The servants didnât move, they were still standing in front of her, not letting her go upstairs.
âIâm sorry, but the upstairs area is the private domain of the Blanchet familyâs master. Guests canât just barge in, I hope you understandâ Sheila insisted, âYou dare to stop me? Iâm no guest! I hope you know Iâm the real mistress of this house.â
âSheila, why so grumpy this early in the morning?â
Ellinorâs voice suddenly came from upstairs, interrupting Sheilaâs 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 jealousyâinducing!
Ellinor was wearing a simple nightgown that was casual and comfortable, which showed she was clearly just out of bed!
Before, Devin said Ellinor was grooming.
They had waited for so long and Ellinor hadnât come down; she must have been sleeping and simply not taken their arrival seriously Seeing Ellinor, Sheila got angry and wanted to rush up and give her a piece of her mind!
But Devin firmly blocked her way, and the few servants around also surrounded her tightly, not allowing her to go upstairs. How annoying!
Unable to rush past, Sheila bit her lip angrily, raised her chin proudly, and said scornfully, âDo you guys even know who I am? How dare you block my way! Iâll give you three seconds to get out of my way, or you will regret it!*
Devin didnât get angry, but he wasnât as polite as before and warned her, âWe know youâre Mrs.
Blanchetâs sister and our honored guest. But please also respect basic etiquette. I remind you again, upstairs is a private area, unless you have Mr. Blanchetâs permission, no one can go up.â
âNo one can go up? Then why can she?â
Sheila said, pointing at Ellinor upstairs, looking defiant.
âBecause she is Mrs. Blanchet, Mr. Blanchetâs wife, and our master Sheilaâs hand pointed at Ellinor, shaking with anger, âSheâs not your Mrs. Blanchet, I am! She stole my place and married into the Blanchet family! And Iâm here today to reclaim my rightful position!â
Devin was stunned. What?
