Chapter 655

Nikki was visibly upset when Olivia said that. She said in a honeyed tone, “Look at her, Ms.

Procter. She’s so uncivilized. I meant well…”

Janice had just been enjoying the show. She didn’t expect to be dragged into it.

“You mean well?” Janice huffed. She put down her cutleries and wiped her lips elegantly.

“I didn’t pick up on that at all. You were insulting her parents, too.”

Nikki looked at Janice in disbelief. She had stayed by Janice’s side for so long. She didn’t expect

Janice to side with Olivia.

“Ms. Procter, I just felt bad for you. She isn’t even taking good care of you as your daughter-in-law.

She wakes up late in the morning. I don’t think she even cares about you.”

Janice glanced at her with narrowed eyes. “If she doesn’t care about me, who does?”

Nikki blushed and said shyly, “Ms. Procter, you know how I feel toward Ethan…”

She heard a sneer. Janice lifted her chin with a finger and said, “Do you know what I hate the

most?”

Nikki met Janice’s gaze. She felt bloodlust from the other’s eyes, sending chills down her spine.

“I…”

Janice continued coldly, “I hate bitches that intentionally try to steal another person’s man.

Nikki’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She recalled Janice’s past and realized that she

was just the type of person Janice hated.

“Ms. Procter, I’m not like that. I am Ethan’s childhood friend. I’ve known him for a long time,”

Nikki explained.

Janice withdrew her hand and took a wet tissue to wipe the part of her finger that touched Nikki.

“If I remember correctly, I’ve never heard Ethan say he has feelings for you. Are you sure you’re

not forcing yourself on him, Ms. Shaw?”

“But, Mrs. Procter, I like Ethan a lot. That woman is not even worthy of him. She doesn’t come from

an affluent family, hold no notable positions, or even have a degree.

“She’s nothing but a pretty face. I’m more suited to be Ethan’s wife. He should just divorce her

already.”

“You like him? What’s the value in that? Or are you implying that the Miller Family has fallen so

far that we need an arranged marriage to survive?

“The resources that the Shaw Family has are inconsequential to us. Also, you’re just a pianist.

There’s nothing special about that.

“How dare you slander my daughter-in-law in my face repeatedly?”

Janice didn’t respond to Nikki’s words because she didn’t want to argue with someone younger.

But she started to go all out on Nikki.

Nikki looked at her with an aggrieved expression. “Ms. Procter, what did I do wrong? I’ve treated

you like my mother for the past two years.

“If it’s something I did, please tell me, I’ll change …”

“Did I ever ask you to take care of me? Am I paralyzed or disabled? Do you not see the maids we

have? Or do you think you can do a better job than them?”

Nikki was so shocked that she even stopped sobbing.

She looked at Janice in disbelief. “Ms. Procter, that’s not what you said back then.”

“What should I have said? I couldn’t exactly drive free labor away.”
