Chapter 398
Unlike Coralie, when Xenia turned around and saw that woman, her happy expression immediately
faded and the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile.
She tugged at her T-shirt and said awkwardly, "Auntie, are you shopping too?"
Seeing that Xenia, who usually did not bother about others, behaved in such a respectful attitude,
Coralie could immediately guess the woman''s identity. She must be Harvey''s mother!
"Yes." Harvey''s mother took in Xenia from head to toe with a strange look in her eyes. "Xenia, do you
usually dress like this? It is different from what you wore the other day."
"I..." Xenia''s face changed slightly and she quickly exined, "I was ying squash with a friend just
now. That is why I''m in sports attire."
"Do you y squash with jeans?"
Harvey''s mother clearly knew that she was lying.
"Well... The sweatpants were soiled just now, therefore..."
Xenia could no longer make up excuses.
Seeing the situation, Coralie immediately stepped forward to help. She went to Harvey''s mother and
said, "Nice to meet you, Auntie. You are Dr. Felton''s mother, right?"
"Who are you?"
Harvey''s mother looked at her and saw that she was dressed casually. She thought that Coralie was
just Xenia''s ordinary friend, therefore she was reluctant to greet her.
Coralie knew what she was thinking and immediately introduced herself. "Auntie, I am Skr''s wife.
Skr and Dr. Felton are good friends."
"Oh, you are Skr''s wife! No wonder you look so knowledgeable and dressed in such low profile
attire."
As soon as she heard Skr''s name, Harvey''s mother, who had been expressionless just now,
immediately became friendly.
"Auntie, you are ttering me."
Coralie quickly humbled herself.
Harvey''s mother smiled, "You girls are shopping, right? Then I won''t disturb you any further. Go ahead."
"Alright, we will leave now, Auntie."
"Goodbye, Auntie!"
Coralie and Xenia said their goodbyes to Harvey''s mother and then disappeared in a sh.
"Thank you, Coralie! You saved my life. Otherwise, I would not be able to exin why I''m ying
squash in jeans!"
Xenia felt that she had escaped from a crisis and was overjoyed.
It was also the first time when Coralie felt that the title of Mrs. Hond indeed came in handy.
However, when she thought about Harvey''s mother''s attitude, she was worried for Xenia. "Why do I
feel that Dr. Felton''s mother is not easy to get along with?"
"That''s true!" Xenia heard what she said and immediately felt as if she had found a soulmate. "Oh! Let
me tell you. The moment I entered the dining room that day and saw Auntie''s face, I immediately knew
that I wore the right dress!"
"What did Auntie wear that day?" Coralie asked.
"What do you think? Despite the hot weather, she wore a formal dinner dress! If I wore a T-shirt with
jeans, she would definitely kick me out!"
It was a painful memory for Xenia when she thought about that day.
Coralie gave her a sympathetic look.
After they arrived at the coffee shop, they sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. Xenia continued to
me her photo. Therefore, I decided to wear a dress at thest minute."
"But doesn''t that mean that you will need to pretend for the rest of your life?"
Coralie felt that it was not a good thing.
However, she also understood that mothers-inw were usually more stubborn, especially when they
were choosing their daughters-inw. To show their authority, they normally refuse to give in.
"Not only that. Do you know that she said she would give me a dinner dress as a present..."
Xeniaid her head on the table. She had lost all of her strength when she thought about this matter.
Dinner dresses were definitely not Xenia''s cup of tea, but if it was Harvey''s mother''s request, she did
not dare to disobey.
"You will be wearing a dinner dress? Give me a call when you are wearing it." Coralie teased.
"Well, when I do wear a dinner dress one day with my hair tied up, I will guarantee that all heads will
turn to look at me when I go shopping with you!" Xenia said with a sullen face. "In fact, I do not want to
wear them at all, but what can I do?"
"Why don''t you discuss it with Dr. Felton?"
"Oh, forget it. Your husband is so amazing, yet he could not do anything to his mother. Harvey is the
least ambitious one in his family, thus he does not have the authority to speak up." Xenia sipped the
coffee and avoided the question. Then she asked Coralie, "By the way, why are you unhappy
recently?"
In reality, it was Coralie who invited Xenia to meet her. Coralie wanted to tell Xenia about her job-
hunting problems, but in the end, she apanied Xenia to shop for clothes and listened to her
Coralie told her about her job- hunting experience, expressing her frustration.
"In that case..." Xenia thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked. "Coralie, are you
fluent in French?"
"French? It''s not bad..."
When she was in S Country, Yohan had specially trained her in many aspects to prevent her from being
mocked by the other members of the Watson family. One of them had beennguages.
Coralie already had the foundation, but under the high-intensity training, her oral and listening skills had
improved significantly.
"My friend''spany needs a part-time trantor but it does not pay much. He asked me to find him
some college students. How would I know any college students? If you are interested, I can introduce
you to him."

Xenia casually mentioned it. She thought that Coralie would not ept that job.
However, Coralie was overjoyed instead, "I''m interested!"
After all, it was much betterpared to working as an administrative assistant in a smallpany. At
least there was room for advancement.
"You are? The pay is not much and the job seemed to be rtively simple but time-sensitive."
Xenia did not expect her to agree.
"Yes, I''ll go."
Coralie nodded.
"Oh, that''s right, you are not short of money." Xenia was enlightened and picked up her phone. "Wait a
minute. I''ll call my friend and tell him right now."
"Thank you!"
Coralie was extremely excited. Although she had never done any trantion jobs before, she believed
that as long as she did well, she could improve step by step and make herself better.
She might even be able to assist Skr in the future.
Xenia held her phone and spoke to her friend. After a while, she blocked the microphone and asked
Coralie, "If the interview is tomorrow morning, are you avable?"
"Yes,m."
Coralie nodded. Then she saw Xenia picking up the phone again and spoke to the person on the other
side of the phone. "Yes, she is avable. She is my friend so do not be too fierce with her. Her husband
is..."
"Don''t!"
Coralie knew what Xenia was about to say. She immediately got up and covered Xenia''s mouth,
refusing to let her talk.
Xenia quickly understood Coralie''s intentions. She nodded and went on to say, "Anyway, please take
care of her."
After she hung up the phone, Xenia voiced out her point of view to Coralie. "Coralie, Skr''s name is
so powerful. Why don''t you make full use of it? If Harvey''s name was as powerful as Skr''s, I would
definitely not hesitate to tell everyone about it everywhere I go!"''
