The next day, Zachary arrived at the Cooper Villa.
Sandra had just gotten out of bed when she heard about it.
She had given Wesley acupuncture late into the night and only managed to fall asleep when it was dawn. Now, she was tired.
If it hadn’t been for Zachary making so much noise, she might have slept until noon.
In her nightgown, she looked lethargic.
She leaned against the railing on the stairs, looking down at Zachary with annoyance.
“Mrs. Cooper, you’re just getting up now? How are you going to take care of Mr. Cooper?”
Zachary thought Sandra was truly a rude country bumpkin.
A hint of disdain appeared in his angry eyes.
Sandra retorted, “Do I have to report to you every time I wake up?”
Zachary pressed his lips together.
“Of course not, but since you’ve married into the Cooper family, you should prioritize the family’s interests.”
“Zachary,” Sandra sneered.
“This rule doesn’t apply anymore.”
Zachary was speechless.
“Mrs. Cooper, you should be careful with your words. Although I am just a servant, I’ve been serving the Cooper family for decades!”
Sandra retorted, “Did I force you to do it?”
Zachary gritted his teeth.
“Since I didn’t force you or exploit you, why are you acting so judgmental?”
Zachary could barely suppress his anger.
“Mrs. Cooper, is this how the Hill family educated you?”
Sandra smiled. “I see, so your family taught you to criticize others to gain a sense of superiority, right?”
Zachary was so angry that he had to cover his chest and take deep breaths.
Sandra maintained her mocking smile.
Zachary snorted. “Mrs. Cooper, there’s no point in arguing.”
Implicitly, they both knew who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
Sandra sneered.
She didn’t want to argue with him either.
Zachary continued, “I came here today to give you something.”
Sandra raised an eyebrow. “Hmm?”
“You asked Madam Cooper for money, didn’t you? Well, the money is ready now. You can check it.”
Zachary acted arrogantly, as if dismissing a beggar. Sandra walked down the stairs slowly.
“Since you’ve been serving the Cooper family for decades, you must have done a good job. Read the gift list to me.”
Zachary’s eyes widened.
If he could, he really wanted to bite Sandra to death!
Hailey had been forced to give money, and Debra was no better.
Debra didn’t give in to Sandra, and Sandra was targeting her at the company.
Sandra always claimed that she brought good luck.
What a ridiculous statement!
If she truly brought good luck, why would the Cooper family suffer?
But anyway, Sandra was Wesley’s wife.
Even though Zachary didn’t want to, he had to show her respect.
He was afraid that if he offended Sandra, she would mess with Hailey.
Zachary took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
He brought the gift list and read it.
Hailey gave Sandra some cash, jewelry, and assets.
However, because these assets were worthless, they had to list more to meet the quota.
Zachary’s throat was dry when he finished reading the list.
However, Sandra didn’t offer him any water, and no one else dared to intervene.
Sandra brought a cup of tea and took a slow sip.
“You read too fast. I didn’t hear clearly. Read it again.”
Zachary gasped.
His throat hurt when he finished reading it for the second time.
He could barely speak.
Sandra finally got up and approached the boxes. She opened them and cross-checked them against the gift list.
Zachary’s throat was in pain now; otherwise, he would have accused her of disrespecting Hailey.
She should be grateful that Hailey gave her so much money.
She should go to the Cooper Mansion immediately to thank Hailey for her kindness.
But Sandra was just a rude country bumpkin from the countryside.
She behaved as if these precious items were ordinary.
She was so ungrateful.
Suddenly, Sandra grabbed a box.
She looked at Zachary with a half-smile.
“Zachary, I know you have difficulty speaking now, but I still have to say, Madam Cooper has been…”
Although his throat hurt, Zachary couldn’t allow anyone to disrespect Hailey.
“Humph, so you also know that Madam Cooper has been good to you? Then go to the Cooper Mansion and thank Madam Cooper.”
Sandra glanced at him indifferently.
“Madam Cooper has been good to me…”
“Then it must be you!”
Her smile suddenly became sinister.
“All the jewelry in this box is fake.”
Everyone gasped.
In the box were all kinds of jewelry.
They were all priceless.
It was nothing to the Cooper family, but any one of them could sustain a family for many years.
But now, Sandra claimed that everything in this box was fake!
She was not only challenging Hailey but also insulting the Cooper family.
How could someone as noble as Hailey use fake items?
Zachary couldn’t believe it.
He glared at the items in the box, clenching his teeth.
In his decades in the Cooper family, he had seen and owned many pieces of jewelry.
Although he wasn’t as professional as an appraiser, he had an appreciation for jewelry.
When he saw the emerald bracelet in the box, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Then, he took out the bracelet, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and examined it carefully.
Soon, he seemed to be greatly shocked and fell to the ground.
Sandra didn’t give him any chance to recover.
“Zachary, you see what’s going on, right?”
Zachary didn’t answer.
He was overwhelmed with shock.
His granddaughter liked jade, so he had studied it.
This emerald bracelet was obviously dyed.
It appeared crystal clear, but it was toxic to humans.
“I believe in your loyalty to the Cooper family,” Sandra said, noticing that Zachary’s mind was in turmoil.
She deliberately mocked him.
“But Zachary, you should think about who’s been handling these things and who’s been coveting them. I’ll give you one day. If you can’t resolve this, then…” She deliberately paused.
Zachary looked up at her, his face filled with hope.
Clearly, he was hoping she would let it slide.
