Chapter 1986


    Chapter 1986 Teasing


    Kaylee could hardly believe her own eyes.


    At the same time, her desire to be Mrs. Wickam grew even stronger. Being able to live in this


    ce is a thousand times better than marrying that good-for-nothing cousin of mine! Besides, I was


    always the best in the vige. Only someone like Gareth is a good match for me!


    With those thoughts in mind, Kaylee raised her head and followed the butler all the way to Julia.


    Only after entering did she realize what the saying “Not unting one’s wealth” truly meant.


    Selling any one of the murals and antique collections in the building would be enough to provide for an


    ordinary family for a lifetime.


    A glint of greed appeared in Kaylee’s eyes, which she believed she hid well.


    Unbeknownst to her, every single person before her was incredibly sharp.


    Arriving in front of everyone, Kaylee scanned the entire room, recognizing all the familiar faces.


    Only Elisa was not present.

    Kaylee was overjoyed. Could it be that Elisa didn’te at all or had left early? Regardless, with Elisa


    absent, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to curry favor and tarnish Elisa’s reputation.


    The one in the master’s seat was an elderlydy, her appearance kind and benevolent.


    The silver-white strands of her hair did not conceal her charisma in the slightest..


    Time never truly defeated a beauty. One could still vaguely see the old woman’s appearance when she


    was


    young.


    Though the old woman dressed simply, one could tell her outfit was far from cheap.


    As such, Kaylee presumed the old woman must be Julia. With a thoughtful heart, Kaylee politely


    greeted Julia.


    “Hello, Madam Smith.” Kaylee smiled sweetly, her eyes shyly ncing at Gareth..


    However, Gareth wasn’t looking at her at all, which saddened her.


    Be rolled her eyes at that. She truly doesn’t know her ce, huh? We should have never agreed to


    bring her out in the first ce. We should’ve just given her a million or two and sent her off. Whether


    she lives a good life or not after that, it’s her own business. After she entered the wider world, her


    horizons were broadened, but her status and abilitie didn’t improve. All it did was lead her to unrealistic


    ambitions.

    “Julia” did not respond to Kaylee, leaving thetter feeling somewhat awkward for a moment.


    Despite her kind and gentle appearance, Julia was surprisingly difficult to get along with..


    Suddenly, Be spoke up from the side, her tone yful. “Kaylee, why do you think she’s Madam


    Smith?”


    Kaylee nced around, suspecting that Be was probably setting a trap because thetter didn’t like


    her.


    However, she couldn’t just say it was because there was only an old woman there.

    She nced nervously at “Julia,” but thetter’s gaze was somewhat sharp. It caused Kaylee to start


    sweating.


    Immediately after, she directed her pleading eyes toward Gareth.


    However, Gareth didn’t even look at her.


    Kaylee hung her head low, biting her lip in resentment. Even though Elisa is not here, why can’t his


    gaze fall on anyone else?


    “I…” She lifted her head, not forgetting to respond to Be’s words. It’s because Madam Smith has the


    aura of a matriarch and because I instantly feel like old friends with her.”


    “Is that so?” Be asked, her tone inscrutable.


    Kaylee nodded in agreement.


    Beughed.


    Just as Kaylee was still puzzled, a powerful voice rang out. “You hear that, Maria? This youngdy


    says she instantly feels like old friends with you.”


    Right after that, Elisa was seen a*sisting an elderlydy as they walked over.


    As soon as Julia appeared, Maria immediately seemed weaker.


    Maria was too kind-hearted, giving off a vibe that she was easy to take advantage of.


    Julia was different. The moment she stepped onto the scene, it became clear who was the one in


    power.
