Chapter 23: Additional Conditions
"Alright, I’ll endure it a bit longer!" Hannah finally agreed with Brianna’s advice. Her mother was experienced, and she knew she had to remain calm. Once she got Ella’s shares, she could do whatever she wanted.
"Don’t be angry. It’s lunchtime, let’s go eat." Brianna gently comforted her daughter, and Hannah’s mood gradually settled.
However, as they opened the door, they were greeted by the sound of Ella’s angry shouting from across the hall.
"I told you to clean up, and you’re still so clumsy! Mrs. Harris, just because I was in the hospital for a few days, you forgot your place? You can’t even do this right?"
Ella’s arrogant voice echoed down the hallway.
Brianna and Hannah exchanged a cold smile. Ella often had these princess tantrums, and this time, it seemed Mrs. Harris had truly offended her.
"No, no, it’s not like that..."
"Leave here immediately. I’ll have Daddy settle your wages!" Ella said coldly before striding out.
Ella’s outburst at Mrs. Harris was a deliberate act to protect her.
On this very day in her past life, Ella clearly remembered that Mrs. Harris had warned her to be cautious of Brianna, a warning overheard by Brianna herself. Furthermore, in her previous life,at Ella’s coming-of-age ceremony, Mrs. Harris had stayed by her side after she drank the poisoned wine, disrupting Brianna’s plans and earning her lasting resentment.
A week later, Mrs. Harris died in a car accident. Though it was uncertain if Brianna was behind it, Ella was still worried for her safety.
