Chapter 198: Taken Away
Amelia was nearly speechless with frustration. She couldn’t believe the lengths Rachel would go to just to get close to Richard and Eric—her shameless tactics knew no bounds!
Ella, on the other hand, remained unfazed, looking at Rachel with a calm expression. "Your cousin is the host here, and yet you’ve decided to work as his subordinate. That must be quite the sacrifice for you."
Rachel quickly shook her head with a forced smile. "Not at all! I consider it an honor to work for my cousin."
Just then, Richard and Eric emerged from the cabin. Upon seeing Rachel dressed in a maid’s outfit, both men frowned, their displeasure evident.
Amelia felt relieved when she saw their reactions. She had been worried that Eric might be charmed by Rachel’s cutesy maid act.
Richard’s eyes narrowed with a cold gleam. "Who let you in?"
"Cousin... I got the job on my own!" Rachel replied, trying to sound innocent.
Richard almost lost it. He had specifically instructed his staff to hire a few waitstaff for Amelia’s birthday party, and somehow Rachel had managed to slip through the cracks. He knew full well that neither Ella nor Amelia liked her.
"Let it go, she’s here now," Amelia said, biting her lip and letting out a cold laugh. "People like her, who can slip through the tiniest cracks, are hard to keep out anyway."
Richard sighed and tried to smooth things over with a smile. "Alright, don’t be upset. How about we all go inside and sing karaoke?"
"I’m not interested!" Amelia pouted.
