Chapter 127

As she studied, Suzanne felt like scontents of the books looked familiar and that she must have read them before. Now that she was re-reading them, they left a strong impression on her.

The Morrison family staff were so shocked seeing her studying so intently that they whispered about her among themselves.

“Mrs. Morrison must have been an excellent student. She must have gone through at least hundreds of psychology books in half a month!”

“I saw her studying till late into the night. She probably intends to take the examination to qualify as a psychological counselor.”

“She’s really focused when she studies! She didn’t even realize that went in to clean up the room. She gave herself a huge scare when she bumped intowhen she got up to get herself a glass of water

“Yes, she’s really impressive!”

What Suzanne didn’t expect was that in the days that she had b herself with studying the psychology of women like Sally and how deal with them, Sally had kept a low profile and behaved well.

Sally was an obedient and well-behaved young lady in everyone’s eyes. She portrayed herself as a gentle, respectful, and humble

person.

She would give Gary and Florence back rubs and present them with nutritional herbs and tonics. She was also very nice toward Nathan’s brothers and sisters-in-law, gifting them luxurious branded presents.

Sally would even help the household staff at times. Hence, she was very well-liked by everyone in the Morrison family, including the household staff.

She curried favor with everyone at any opportunity she got, and that was something that Suzanne could never achieve.

That evening, Suzanne rubbed her and cout from the study when a maid told her that it was time for dinner. She made her way downstairs.

Sally helped out with setting up the table in the dining room. Then, she helped serve the dishes, behaving as a good daughter-in-law

would.

When Sally served Gary his soup, she told him, “Mr. Morrison, have a taste of this chicken consommé with truffle essence and wild

mushroom. I made this personally.”

Gary gladly took it and exclaimed, “Thank you! I never noticed that not only are you able to whip up nice dishes, but you make stasty soups too!

“Your culinary skills are amazing! Any man would be lucky to m

you!”

Florence echoed, “That’s right! Sally would make a perfect wife!”

Suzanne lowered her head and ate her soup in silence.

Proud that she was being praised, Sally turned to look at Suzanne

with a faint smile.

“Suzanne, why have you shut yourself away and read in the study? I heard from Mrs. Morrison that you’re reading up on psychology books. Are you planning to take the qualification examination?”

Suzanne put down her spoon and smiled at her. “Yes, since I haven’t got any suitable jobs now, I figured that I might as well make use of the tand learn something useful.

“I can’t very well try to get Rhonda dismissed from her job like you,

can I, Ms. Hoffis?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard that. Rhonda Seals, the family chef, blanched at that. She had initially thought that it was really nice of Ms. Hoffis to help her around in the kitchen.

Now, after Suzanne’s reminder, she finally cto realize that in the two weeks that Sally had cto the Morrison Residence, Sally had gradually taken control of the kitchen.

Everyone in the Morrison family had been complimenting Sally on her culinary skills and how nice the food she made was.

Seeing how close she was to losing her job, Rhonda became

flustered.

Florence lightly cleared her throat and tried to get Sally out of the awkward situation. She hurriedly said, “Sally just made us food because she’s bored and has nothing better to do. She isn’t trying to get Rhonda dismissed.”

Suzanne quickly flashed Sally a bright smile. Since Sally

ting

up the act of being gentle and capable, Suzanne would gla

with that.

“Ms. Hoffis, it’s true that you make delectable food. I’d like t scoq au vin, bouillabaisse, and ratatouille tomorrow. That wouldn’t be too much to ask for, would it?”

Those were three dishes known to be extremely cumbersto

make. Rhonda almost burst out laughing when she heard that. She quickly covered her mouth and stifled a laugh.

Sally’s fists tightened as she tried to suppress her anger. She gritted her teeth, and her face reddened from the effort of not lashing out at

Suzanne. She couldn’t cup with any valid reason to turn down her request.

Just then, Edgar’s voice rang out. “Mr. Nathan, you’re back! Have you had dinner yet?”

Everyone was overjoyed to see Nathan back. They all left the dining table excitedly and rushed over to the door.

Suzanne was the only one who remained seated as she slowly ate her soup with her head lowered.

When she heard that Nathan was back, her heart was finally back at ease. She had missed him a lot. Even in her dreams, she missed him.

However, she didn’t feel the least bit of joy or excitement at present. Instead, there was only endless melancholy.
