Chapter 403: Consumed by the Fire of Anger
The hearty ambiance at Graceville Manor was a stark contrast to the grim atmosphere blanketing the Li family’s ancestral home.
As predicted, Old Madam Li and the others couldn’t sleep even a wink after what happened last night. Fights also ensued between them.
"The old madam hasn’t come out? She didn’t appear during breakfast either."
"She doesn’t want anyone to disturb her. Don’t you notice? They all looked so mad after coming back last night."
"Ah... yes, I realize it."
One of the maids whispered to her colleague after the latter came out of Old Madam Li’s room. Both of them stared at the closed wooden door with curiosity and concern plaguing their hearts.
Every staff at the ancestral home knew Old Madam Li, Geoffrey, Deena and Gladys went outside last night to have dinner with the Li family’s son-in-law, the heir of the Xu family.
The Li family’s matriarch seemed so happy to finally meet her grandson-in-law again after so long. Thus, everyone was caught off guard when Old Madam Li and the others returned in a bad mood.
Old Madam Li berated her favorite second son and daughter-in-law. She also did the same to her favored granddaughter. It was something none of the staff had ever heard or witnessed before.
"I wonder what happened last night," said the second maid. Crossing both arms over her chest, she whispered, "Did the Xu’s young master do something again?"
"Shh... Don’t stick your nose into their problem. Just act like usual. Have you forgotten what happened to Sarah?"
