Chapter 1842
"Please don't get angry, Madam." Annabel stood up and comforted Susan, saying, "Ms. Jordan doesn't mean what she said."
Suzie scoffed. "Oh, she did. She thinks she's clever for coming up with this brand. She thinks she's doing us a favor!"
Charmine smiled calmly. 'You may think however you like."
Without waiting for anyone's response, she walked away.
Susan was overtaken with rage that her body trembled in anger as she pointed a shaky finger at Charmine, who was leaving. "Look at her! This is how she treats her mother-in-law, yet you said she has good qualities!?"
Annabel reassured her, "Madam, don't get angry. Perhaps Ms. Jordan is busy. If you want to buy Poulenc, you may ask the maids to buy it for you. If you don't mind, I can queue for you-" "No need!" Susan looked away coldly and instructed Suzie haughtily. "Get me ten thousand sets of Wave. I want to give them to my friends!"
She did not want Charmine to win!
"Understood." Suzie nodded politely and went ahead to do as told.
Annabel looked at Charmine's back, wanting to talk Susan out of her anger but dared not to speak.
Noticing Annabel being intimidated, Susan picked a few bags and put them in her hands. "Annabel, I don't need these. Take these and wear them." "But I can't possibly do that, Madam!" Annabel's face was pale as she waved her hand to reject. 'They're from Ms. Waverly to you, so how can I keep these?" "I'm giving them to you, so keep them," insisted Susan. "Waverly gave them to me, so they're mine. I'm now giving them to you, so how does that not work?"
Annabel looked visibly conflicted but could only accept the bags of items cautiously. 'Thank you, Madam." 'You're welcome," said Susan. "I genuinely treat you as my daughter-in-law."
Annabel's pale face looked shocked. "I thank you for being fond of me, but please don't think that way! I'm just a guest here, and once the baby is out, I will leave. You and Charmine must get along. She's a nice person-" "Stop mentioning her. I won't approve of her!" remarked Susan as she held Annabel's hand and patted it gently. "Just wait for a while, Annabel. When I have the chance, I'll speak good things about you in front of Anthony, to make you his actual wife."
Annabel's face instantly turned pale in fear. She stuttered, "M-Madam, how could this be? I never dreamt of b-being with President Bailey! I really don't ask for it, I only wish for my baby to come out healthy." Susan sighed. 'You're too kind. You can't be so polite all the time." 1
Annabel looked at her, confused and naively, much to Susan's mild exasperation.
"Whatever, you don't have to plan anything. I'll let you know what to do and when."
Annabel nodded as if she vaguely understood.
"Get changed, then. I'll bring you out to play card games with my friends."
Annabel's watery eyes gazed at her in her shock. "Madam, you're bringing me out to play card games with your friends?" "That's right," said Susan elegantly. "You don't have to turn it down. Listen to me: all you have to know is that I won't hurt you."
Annabel wanted to refuse, but she could only nod at that moment. "A-Alright, then."
Charmine walked out of the door not long after and saw Grandma Bailey nicely dressed. She walked toward her elegantly.
Both of them looked at one another as Charmine walked toward the elder and greeted, "Grandma."
She put her arms around Grandma Bailey's and walked with her.
Grandma Bailey looked at her and asked, "Charmine, where are you going?" "I'm going to the shop."
Grandma Bailey saw how tired Charmine looked and, filled with sympathy, said, "Look at you! Don't work so hard. Save some time for yourself and Anthony."
Charmine pursed her lips and nodded. "I'll bear that in mind."
