Chapter 321 Please Say Something
Cleo stopped immediately and gave Ang a ferocious stare. Then she held the arm of Elva and cried,
"Aunt Elva, you promised you would take care of me and wouldn''t allow anyone to bully me when my
mother sent me here."
Hearing it, Elva had no idea what to say as she did have promised something like that.
"Please say something, Aunt Elva. Do you just watch Ang insulting me?!" said Cleo with a raised
voice.
The arm of Elva was a little painful as being held by Cleo. Elva tried to pull her arm out but failed. She
had to say moodily, "Ang, as Cleo is our rtive, how about forgiving her this time? And we don''t
"Since we don''tck a maid, I''ll fire her," said Ang.
''What''s wrong with Mom? She even allows a maid to bully her.'' thought Ang disappointedly.
Hearing that, Cleo was stunned and responded after quite a long while, "You...you are going to fire
me?"
"Ang, you may not know that Cleo is a rtive of your father. It''s not suitable to do so," said Elva.
Lorenzo frowned and said nothing.
"She took the ne from my room without permission. It''s regarded as stealing," said Ang, "and I
don''t like a maid that has sticky fingers. So she''s fired. Mary, please clear the sry for thisdy and
ask her to leave.
"Yes," responded a maid as she stood out.
Seeing that Ang was really going to fire her, Cleo shook the arm of Elva hard and said anxiously,
"Please say something, Aunt Elva. Ang is going to fire me!"
"Even though my mom is your aunt, she is closer to me in rtionship. So she won''t speak for you,"
said Ang, "and apart from the ne, any other things you have taken from my home don''t need
to be returned."
"But I want to remind you to not take yourself too seriously!"
Elva wanted to persuade Ang not to fire Cleo, but she was afraid that Ang would be angry with
her as they had some problem recently.
But Cleo misunderstood Elva and said, "I thought you were a good person, Aunt Elva! I''ll leave now. I
didn’t beg you to let me stay here!"
"You guys act like a snob!" said Cleo as she spat on the ground.
With those words, Cleo picked up the bowl in front of Ang and threw it to the ground and left.
Seeing that Cleo left, the maids in the dining room couldn''t help smiling with joy.
Sitting down, Ang sent some messages and gave her phone to James. Holding the phone, James
slightly smiled as if he had thought of something.
"Good job, Ang!" said Greyson obsequiously andined, "We didn''t took Cleo seriously when
she just came here. However, after Mom spoke for her for several times, became more and more
arrogant and looked down her nose at everybody."
Ang didn''t expect that a maid would have such a big temper, either. After asking the maids to clean
up the ground, Ang said to Elva, "Mom, you shouldn''t have been that generous with her."
"But she''s a rtive of your father. Since you have treated her like that, she may speak ill of us in front
of the old neighbors of your father," said Elva cautiously.
"But Cleo may not appreciate what you have done for her. Instead, she may even resent you," said
Ang.
While not agreeing with Ang, Elva didn''t say anything more.
All of them were eating silently around the table.
When they''d had plenty, Elva raised her ss and said, "Since Greyson had a deal with Linhong
Company today, let''s congratte him."
"It''s the Linying Company. Don''t talk nonsense if you don''t know!" said Lorenzo as he raised his ss.
With her eyes being red, Elva lowered her head to wipe the corner of her eyes and clinked her ss
against others'' in embarrassment.
After the meal, Elva went upstairs in low spirits.
"I''m going upstairs first," said Ang to James and followed Elva.
Lorenzo invited James to have some tea in the living room and made the tea himself to show the
importance of James to him.
"How do you like the tea, James?" asked Lorenzo as he had been watching the look on James'' face.
Taking a sip of the tea, James put down the cup and said, "Good tea."
Hearing that, Lorenzo was relieved and said, "I bought it from a friend who knows tea. He had only one
pot of the tea, so I''ve paid good money for it. He was quite reluctant to sell it to me."
"Good taste, Lorenzo," said James.
Lorenzo shook his head and said, "I like tea, but I usually won''t spend so much money to buy such a
small pot of tea."
He stopped to wait for James to say something.

However, James just poured himself another cup of tea and tasted it slowly, showing no intention of
saying anything.
Since I knew that you are going to move here with Ang, I''ve bought the tea fearing that you are not
used to other teas. This is the first time I have taken someone else''s favourite away," said Lorenzo.
"How? Aunt Elva is also her parents'' favourite and you still took her away from her parents." smiled
James.
Seeing that James didn''t get into his trap, Lorenzo became impatient and said, "As I know little about
tea, you can take it."
"Thanks, but I can''t ept such an expensive gift," refused James.
"You are wee. This can be nothing as we have going to be families soon," smiled Lorenzo.
"Brothers out afterwards, especially for a rtionship like ours," said James sharply, "and once I ept
such an expensive gift, I can hardly refuse if you ask me to do something for you."
Taking a sip of tea, Lorenzo said, "Actually, I do have something to discuss with you. But I don''t think
you''ll refuse as it''s mutually beneficial."
"Hard to say. I don''t believe in a man''s intuition. You abandoned Ang before," said James, "as you
thought her usefulness had been yed out. But now, you take her back."
James was obviously satirizing Lorenzo.
Lorenzo didn''t take it too seriously and said, "Don''t refuse too soon. Why not listen to my idea first?"
Putting down the cup, James made a gesture of listening.
"This afternoon, I heard that Lawson has made a series of deployments against some small electrical
appliancepanies of the Smith Group, hasn''t he?" asked Lorenzo.
"Well-informed, Lorenzo," smiled James.
