Yvonne followed Charles into the door, sitting beside him. Autumn arrived not long after, seeing Yvonne talking to the three of them, though she was not welcomed.
"Wow, Chris! Your skin looks so good! How do you take good care of it?"
Chris did not respond, remaining silent.
"Charles, I'm so jealous of you! You live such a happy life with my cousin. I wish I could be so lucky to find a good husband like you, " Yvonne continued.
Noticing that no one is paying her any attention, she turned towards Gary.
"Grandpa…" she said, stopping mid-sentence to correct herself.
"Gary, I've heard that you like playing chess quite often. Would you like to play chess with me right now?"
Gary, being the kind man that he was, didn't have the heart to decline her suggestion directly. "Sure, if you'd like to."
His response immensely lifted her spirit. "Sis, can you please carry my luggage to my bedroom? I'm going to play chess with Gary right now, " she said, turning to Autumn.
Autumn didn't know what to say in response.
She felt like Yvonne is treating her like a servant.
Upon hearing this, Charles stood up and offered to carry the luggage of Yvonne.
Autumn followed him as they entered a vacant room located on the first floor.
It turned out to be a room intended for a servant. Despite being small, the room proved to be clean. Autumn smiled, realizing why he allowed Yvonne to live in their house.
"Charles, I'm sorry, " she apologized unexpectedly.
Anyway, Yvonne was her half-sister, she thought that she was somehow responsible for the current situation.
"What are you apologizing for?" he asked, his face full of concern.
Autumn has acquired a habit of taking responsibility for other people. But he couldn't bear to see her put the blame on herself when she hasn't done anything wrong.
"My mom called to tell me that Yvonne would come here and live with us for a while. I didn't expect that she'll actually come here without my permission, seeing that I've declined her request, " she said, exasperated.
"Don't worry. It won't be long before she'll start packing her
ne felt something was amiss. She walked in, horrified to see herself standing in the same room with the servants. "What do you think you're doing? Why did you bring me here?" she asked irritably, looking at Autumn.
"What the hell are you playing at? This is the maid room! Do you want me to live here?" she yelled further.
"Why? What's wrong with the maid room? Isn't it clean?" she said, laughing coldly as she went on.
"It may be small but it's clean. I don't see anything wrong with it.
Why wouldn't you want to live here? Look at them, they're all living here, " Autumn said, pointing at the servants walking in the room.
"You-" Yvonne found herself too irritated to utter a single word.
"You did this on purpose, right?" she asked, her face flushing with rage.
"Is it because you're afraid that I'll take Charles from you?
You are such a disgusting person!" she continued.
"What are you talking about?
Why would you say something so ridiculous?
You're just too much of a brat to stay here!" Autumn exclaimed.
"What is wrong with you?! We consider the servants in this house as a part of the family. Why can't you think twice and consider others' feelings before saying anything?" she said, loud enough for the servants to hear. She wanted them to know Yvonne's true colors.
'Do you think you're the only one who can put on a show? That's where you're wrong.' she thought.
