The Woods'' kitchen was just like it was three years ago, and the servants who worked inside remained unchanged.


    Although Ivy felt a strong connection to them, they did not recognize her.


    When she brought fruits for them to eat, they were very grateful and treated her with great courtesy.


    "What should we call you, Miss? Mrs. Woods might still be asleep," one of the servants said.


    "She''s still not awake? She used to get up quite early," Ivy replied naturally.


    "Yes! She never used to sleep in, but, ever since so many unfortunate things happened in the family, she has developed insomnia. She can''t sleep at night and can only get some rest during the day," the servant exined.


    "Have there been a lot of unfortunate events in the Woods family?" Ivy tensed.


    "Didn''t your mother tell you? I thought everyone in the neighborhood knew!" the servant said.


    "I study overseas and rarelye home. My mother didn''t tell me anything," Ivy exined with a smile.


    "Well... Our eldest young master had an affairst year, and the woman had a child with him. She came looking for him and forced him to divorce his wife. It angered his wife, who divorced him in a fit of anger. You know, his wife''s family is quite wealthy, and they had business dealings with the Woods. Because of this, her family broke ties with the Woods, causing losses in their business," the servant revealed. Ivy nodded. "So, did the young master marry the other woman?"


    "No. Mrs. Woods was furious and refused to ept the mistress. Master simply drove our young master out of thepany and let the second young master take over. The second young master seemed quite reliable at first, but, after taking over thepany, he made several wrong decisions, causing significant financial losses. That''s why the master brought his eldest son back," the servant continued. "What about the second young master?" Ivy inquired.


    "The second young master is working at thepany together with his brother," the servant replied.


    "Okay, that''s not too bad. They''ll make up for the financial losses eventually," Ivy said.


    "It''s not just minor financial losses.


    The Woods are in a terrible state. If they weren''t, Mrs. Woods wouldn''t be suffering from insomnia every night," the servant added. "And the young mistress, Ms. Olivia, is also a handful. She found a boyfriend and insisted on marrying him, buthe only wanted to y around. She didn''t believe it and tried to get pregnant to force him to marry her, but he ended up dumping her! In the end, Mrs. Woods took her to the hospital for an abortion. It was truly shameful!"


    Ivy did not expect that the Woods family had gone through such a difficult time in the past few years.


    "Does the Woods'' family have another young master?" Ivy took a deep breath and asked.


    "Are you talking about the illegitimate child?" the servant rified.


    "Yes. Wasn''t he studying abroad? He should have graduated by now, right? Does he live here now?" Ivy asked cautiously.


    The servants shook their heads in unison. "He never came back after going to study abroad."


    Ivy gasped, surprised by how stubborn Lucas was.


    "Master would mention him


    whenever he argued with the


    Missus, and we hear them from the


    kitchen all the time!" the servant said. "That kid is doing greatpared to his siblings. I think opened up apany of his own. He even started living with his mom again."


    "I thought his mom found herself a boyfriend," Ivy said.


    "I guess they broke up! I heard that. his


    returned to Taronia and


    Tint''s critically ill, so he


    opened a


    here to take care of his mom."


    Ivy felt a lump in her throat and asked, "What''s the name of hispany?"Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
