Chapter 1486
Even the servant could see Bonnie was trying to show herself off in preparation for the inheritance. Aside from the masters of the house who seemed to be oblivious about everything, the servants could see what was going on. From the moment Bonnie came home, she had been trying to take everything for herself. It was obvious she wanted to own everything.
Queenie took a sip of the chicken soup and smiled. “Your chicken soup is getting better now, Mrs. Lowman.”
Courtney smiled. “But you’ve been having the same soup for ages. You must be tired of it.”
“No, I’m not. I won’t ever get tired of your soup.” Queenie beamed.
“Miss Bonnie said it’s tasteless.” Ever since Bonnie came back, Courtney’s job got harder. She just kept complaining about everything, and Courtney just about had it.
“I think it’s fine,” Queenie assured her. It’s Thursday today. The dinner’s tomorrow, and
I’m looking forward to it.
Queenie was sorting her items out in the afternoon. When she opened her jewelry box and noticed that her earrings were gone, she felt anger welling up in her. Bonnie! She did this!
Bonnie came home at three, and she was holding a few shopping bags. Instead of learning how to manage a company, she was there to get some money out of Brandon so she could shop.
“The servants will. When they need to clean it.” Bonnie dragged the servants into this on purpose.
The servants tensed up and defended themselves, “We would never take Miss Queenie’s things, Miss Bonnie.””
“And I trust that they won’t. I can’t say the same about you, so hand. Them. Over,” Queenie demanded.
Bonnie’s gaze dripped with venom. “You’ve had everything you wanted since you were a kid. All I took were some earrings, and you’re lecturing me about it? I needed to pair them up with my dresses, and I didn’t want to go out of my way to buy new earrings. I’m your sister, so can’t you just let me have this one?”
Queenie was tired of hearing the same rhetoric. She would relent in the past, but not now. Not when she knew about Bonnie’s true colors. If she kept relenting and giving in, Bonnie would just keep pushing her over the edge.
