She turned to leave.
Angela lost her intention to apologize to Debra.
She was indignant that she had been hit over a small pendant.
So, she asked without thinking.
“What’s your relationship with Carl?”
“The auction house is mysterious. He’s in charge there, but he is willing to help me with the pendant.”
She stepped forward and asked with a hostile tone.
“Humph, what qualifications do you have to hit me when you do all these things behind Dad’s back?”
Her voice was filled with mockery.
Debra was cut to the heart.
She turned around and stared into Angela’s eyes.
Under Angela’s suspicious gaze, she trembled.
Angela was born prematurely.
So, Debra had put her heart and soul into her.
She almost lost her position in the Cooper family and got kicked out because of Angela.
Now, the apple of her eye doubted her and even questioned her!
Angela was so ungrateful.
“Why aren’t you speaking?”
Debra’s pale face and the disappointed look in her eyes sent a chill down Angela’s spine. She regretted being so impulsive.
But Debra suddenly turned and left.
She didn’t say anything before leaving.
Angela caught a glimpse of the pendant on the sofa and felt a pang of guilt.
Should she not have questioned Debra?
But Carl’s intentions toward Debra were indeed suspicious. And she didn’t believe that, during the years when Victor was in a coma, Debra had remained chaste. She could understand and even support it.
She regretted being so harsh and hurting Debra’s feelings!
She picked up the pendant, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
It was all Sandra’s fault!
It was Sandra who made her lose her sanity!
The next day was Monday.
Sandra couldn’t sleep in and got up reluctantly.
Breakfast was prepared according to her taste.
When she had practiced with her master on the mountain, she used to cook vegetarian meals herself.
Geniston was a breeding ground for talented individuals.
The vegetarian meal was delicious,
but Sandra had no appetite.
Joey kept serving her food.
Sandra had been strictly ordered by her master not to waste food.
So, she could only finish what was on her plate.
Even though she had no appetite, she still managed to eat enough.
Wesley didn’t receive such treatment.
The best dishes were always given to her, and Wesley would eat whatever was left.
Of course, Sandra didn’t sympathize with him.
Wesley had been receiving acupuncture and medicinal baths recently, so he needed lighter meals.
Joey didn’t notice Wesley’s sharp gaze on his back.
He just served Sandra attentively.
Wesley was speechless.
After breakfast, Zachary arrived as arranged.
He looked like he had aged ten years overnight.
Deep wrinkles covered his face,
and much of his hair had turned white.
Sandra was a bit surprised.
After all, she almost didn’t recognize Zachary.
Zachary’s voice was a bit hoarse.
“Mrs. Cooper, I have brought all the gifts. This is the pendant you requested. That was tough.”
Wesley used to not pay much attention to what others said, but from Zachary’s words, he could tell that a lot of effort had been put into getting the pendant.
Many people at the Cooper Mansion didn’t approve of him, and then he thought of the inheritance.
Naturally, he ignored Zachary.
After all, compared to inheriting the Cooper Group, Zachary’s little tricks were insignificant.
However, Wesley was vindictive.
“Zachary, it’s three days past the deadline.”
Wesley said coldly,
“Did Grandma mention how to punish you?”
Zachary’s heart skipped a beat.
He wanted to sow discord, but Wesley didn’t even give him a chance to speak.
“Mr. Cooper, I…”
Joey interrupted him.
“I heard that you can no longer manage the Cooper Mansion.”
Now, Zachary was no different from an ordinary servant.
He had worked for the Cooper family his whole life, gloating in front of everyone,
but now, he was on the brink of being thrown out.
He regretted being so arrogant all these years.
Although he was mocked by Joey, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he felt very sad.
Wesley spoke slowly.
“I received a message yesterday that your granddaughter was going abroad.”
Zachary’s face turned pale instantly.
He had a lot to say, but he didn’t know how to start.
He also felt that Wesley had mentioned this just to taunt him.
He used to be loyal to Hailey.
But Hailey had sent his granddaughter away.
He was hit hard by that reality.
And he felt so ashamed.
“But I kept her,” Wesley said.
Zachary was stunned.
He looked up in disbelief.
His eyes widened.
In a trembling voice, he murmured,
“Mr. Cooper, you…”
Joey snorted.
“Mr. Cooper would never lie to you.”
Zachary was overwhelmed with emotion.
Tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.
Wesley’s tone remained cold.
“I just thought that since she wants to study abroad, there’s no need for her to go to less-developed countries.
She should study in developed countries and come back to work for the Cooper Group in the future.”
Joey turned around and took out an admission letter from a drawer beside him.
“This is from Tiburon University in Dalistan. Your granddaughter will major in finance there.”
Wesley had done what he could.
