Linda and Zack were waiting at the door.


    Seeing the couple, Linda respectfully greeted Charles.


    As Monday pushed him out of the car and coldly asked Linda, “What message did the olddy send for you to deliver?”


    ncing at Zelda, who was following them but not being pushed by Charles, Linda respectfully replied, “Young Master, the olddy wants to see Zelda and specifically asked me to wait here for her.”


    “The olddy wants to see me?”


    It’s sote.


    Shouldn’t the olddy be asleep?


    “Yes, Zelda, please follow me.”Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Linda was still polite to Zelda and gestured for her to follow.


    Zelda hesitated for a moment, looked at the man who had just entered the house, and saw he didn’t object. She said, “Linda, please wait for me for two minutes. I’ll go in and put my bag away first.”


    “Zelda can give her bag to Zack to take in. The olddy has been waiting for a long time.”


    Zelda nodded and handed her bag to Zack before following Linda.


    Arriving at the main house, they didn’t find the olddy.


    Housekeeper Marry told Zelda, “The olddy has gone back to her room. Zelda, pleasee with me.”


    Without suspecting anything, Zelda followed the housekeeper after Linda left.


    The olddy’s room was on the second floor.


    Marry led Zelda upstairs and stopped in front of the olddy’s room. With a serious expression, she said, “Zelda, the olddy has already gone to sleep. Please wait here for a while.”


    With that, she turned and left.


    “Marry, if the olddy has gone to sleep, can Ie back tomorrow?”


    She’d have to wait until tomorrow if she had to wait here.


    Marry stopped and turned to Zelda, saying, “The olddy instructed that if she falls asleep, Zelda should wait here. It’s best for Zelda to listen to the olddy’s orders.”


    Even if she had to wait until tomorrow, Zelda would wait.


    Zelda could tell that the olddy was upset about hering backte. Even if the olddy couldn’t wait, she instructed someone to bring Zelda here and ordered her to wait until dawn.


    Marry turned around again and added, “The gate outside has been locked. Zelda, it’s best for you to wait patiently until the olddy wakes up.”


    Zelda furrowed her brows.


    The door was locked, preventing her from returning to Charles’s residence. Her bag was handed over to Zack, and her phone was inside it… She didn’t even have a chance to call Charles to rescue her now.


    Was she really supposed to just wait patiently for the olddy to wake up?


    As she couldn’t hear Mary’s footsteps anymore, the door of another room suddenly opened.


    Nina, dressed in a nightgown, poked her head out, and Zelda spotted her.


    “Zelda.”


    Nina waved her over.


    Zelda immediately walked over.


    “Nina.”


    “Shh-”


    Nina made a shushing gesture, pulling Zelda into the room before closing the door. She then said to Zelda, “Zelda, my grandmother is lightly sleeping. Speaking loudly will wake her up, and if someone disturbs her rest, she’ll get very angry, even I’m afraid.”


    She led Zelda to sit on the sofa in her room. “Zelda, where did you go? Why did youe back sote? My grandmother was waiting for you, and her face turned dark. That’s why she ordered Marry to lock you in here.”


    “Did the olddy want to see me?”


    Zelda cautiously asked her sister-inw, “Can you tell me, Nina?”


    Nina shook her head. “I only came back in the evening, so I don’t know what the olddy wanted with you. I just know that she instructed Linda to go and find you every half an hour. When she found out that you hadn’t returned, her mood kept worsening. During dinner, none of us dared to speak too much, afraid of being scolded by her.”


    Even this jewel in the crown of the Winston family was cautious in the face of the olddy’s anger.


    “I went to work, and I worked overtime until now,” Zelda said. “Zack should have my contact number. If the olddy needs me, she can have Zack call me.”


    “You went to work?” Nina questioned with suspicion. “Aren’t you working as a nanny for my big brother? Where else do you work? Doesn’t my big brother pay you?”


    “Charles doesn’t pay me,” Zelda exined earnestly. “He told me to be self-reliant, but I still need money. So, in order to have some spending money, I had to find a job.”


    Nina chuckled.


    “Zelda, I almost believed you. You’re the Zelda of the Roscente family, a true heiress. How could you need money? I heard that your mother gives you a monthly allowance of three hundred thousand US dors, which equals ten thousand US dors a day. That allowance is already quite generous, and you’re not a big spender, so you can’t possibly spend all three hundred thousand. Unless you’re using that money to support your stepfamily.”
