Chapter 87 When Lyra heard that, she clapped her hands in approval.
âThatâs really smart of you!â
A faint smile appeared on Maeveâs face.
In reality, she didnât want to target Clara on purpose, but Clara was the one who played those tricks first. Maeve couldnât just sit down and take it.
At noon, Clara slowly walked down the stairs. She couldnât walk very well, so she seemed to be in quite a bind when she went downstairs. But when she saw Allie bustling about in the living room, she still felt a sense of superiority welling up in her heart.
âAllie, Iâm hungry. Go and make something for me.â
Clara wasnât polite at all. Her feeble demeanor when she was leaning in Sergioâs arms last night had vanished without a trace.
When Allie saw Clara, she was immediately pissed. Fury was written all over her face, but because Sergio was the one who had asked Clara to stay here, Allie had no choice but to say, âLunch will only be served at 12:00 pm. This is a rule set by Madam.â
At the mention of Maeve, Clara felt like a thorn was embedded in her heart.
âWhat sort of a maid are you? Didnât you hear what I said? I said Iâm hungry!â
Clara spoke in an unkind tone.
Because of her ruined face, she was a little shortâtempered as well.
Allie felt extremely troubled, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.
After all, Clara was Sergioâs current favorite.
When Clara saw Allie finally obeying her, she sat on the couch, feeling satisfied. She turned on the TV.
There werenât any TVs in the dorms, after all.
Also, it wasnât just the TV. Even the guest rooms in Brooks Manor were equipped with the best bedding available. She hadnât slept so comfortably in a long while.
She even looked forward to the day she could sleep in the master bedroom. It would definitely feel like heaven.
Just then, violent knocks sounded on the door.
Clara frowned in dissatisfaction. âAllie, didnât you hear someone knocking on the door? Go and answer the door right now!â
Chapter 87 22 Allie grew even more upset to be ordered around by a mere girl. Still, she suppressed her dissatisfaction as she opened the door.
When Allie saw the visitor, she was shocked. âMrs. Brooks Senior?â
Haileyâs gaze was as sharp as knives. Glancing coldly into the house, she walked through the door.
When Clara saw Halley, she immediately stood up from her seat on the couch. The arrogance and haughtiness were completely gone from her.
âMâMrs. Brooks Senior..â
Clara stammered a little.
She didnât expect Hailey to visit out of the blue.
âYou again?â
Haileyâs gaze turned even colder.
âMrs. Brooks Senior, Mr. Brooks was so mad at this woman that she upped and left!â
Beside them, Allie added fuel to the fire.
Claraâs expression shifted a little. She hastily tried to explain, saying, âThatâs not true, Mrs. Brooks Senior!â
Without another word, Hailey went forward and slapped Clara across the face.
âAh!â
The slap was loud and clear, and Claraâs cheek instantly swelled up.
Hailey narrowed her eyes as she spoke in a sharp tone, âYou shameless wench, what do you take Brooks Manor for? Did you really think that someone like you could enter this house as you pleased?â
Claraâs eyes instantly turned red, but she held back her tears with all her might.
Just then, Sergio had just arrived at the entrance in a hurry.
He rushed back as soon as he received the news, and that was the scene he saw when he entered the house.
âGrandma!â
Sergio shielded Clara by pulling her into his arms. Claraâs tears instantly streamed down her face. âSergio...
