Yolanda was now a little intrigued to find out Tony's intentions in dating Bailee.
Winnie didn't know that Yolanda was silent because she was deducing Tony's identity and intentions. She thought Yolanda was hurt by what Bailee had said, so she retorted boldly, "Bailee, this is a sales office.
"They're open for business. Anyone could come here, so why can't Yolanda be here? Yolanda's family also has a business, and the Henderson Group is a pretty big-scale one.
"If people who are allowed to come here are based on social hierarchy, she is more qualified than you are. How dare you say that about her? You're too much!"
"You're siding with her?" Bailee was a little shocked.
"Every good thing I have, I think of you and share them with you all the time. But her! She's only been back for such a short time.
"I'm so disappointed in you, Winnie!"
"You don't have to be disappointed in me. I'm here because I value our kinship as relatives. Don't think that I don't know what you're up to."
Winnie's personality has always been gentle and meek, but today, she stood up boldly for Yolanda for once.
It was mainly because Bailee's words were too harsh. She shouldn't have spoken this way to her relatives. Even more so, she shouldn't even do so to a complete stranger.
Winnie was very clear about Bailee's intentions—she merely wanted to show off her rich boyfriend to Winnie. However, since they were related, she didn't want to be too calculative toward Bailee. But if Bailee were to continue to speak so harshly, she wouldn't give Bailee the benefit of the doubt anymore.
"If I didn't invite you here today, I'm afraid that bumpkins like both of you wouldn't even be able to enter the door of Cerulean Abode's sales office building. The houses here are at least millions of dollars. Even the Hendersons might not be able to afford it.
"Don't think you're all powerful just because you live in a villa now. It's just an old house that was passed down from the previous generations. It's not worth anything!"
Bailee's words were definitely targeted at Yolanda. The house the Hendersons were living in now was a house that was passed down through the generations. It didn't look as grand as modern villas, but its value was definitely comparable to villas that were worth millions.
Not only was Bailee ignorant, but it was also very ridiculous for her to think that she could insult the Hendersons with just 20 million to her name.
Tony had been watching Winnie from the very beginning. The more Bailee provoked her, the happier he felt.
