-Silence-
....
The scene turned ghastly silent as tension quickly covered the air around them.
Now, everyone's attention was on the lady.
Even Chiyou looked at the woman deeply, feeling fear for the woman's case.
'Tonight?', she murmured to herself.
The grandmaster had said that she, Chiyou, would eventually die if her problem wasn't solved.
But in this woman's case, the Grandmaster was telling her that tonight was her death date.
So wasn't that more tragic and scary?
She couldn't help looking at the lady sympathetically.
Hey! She thought that she was the most pitiful person here, but who knew that there was still someone else whose case was worse than hers?
Alas, so young too.
R.I.P sis...
Chiyou looked at the lady as if looking at her cursor lowering down into a grave.
And coincidentally, the lady in question saw Chiyou's look and instantly erupted like a volcano, waving her trembling fingers at Dorian in outrage.
"You-You-You!... You bastard! What sin did I commit by stopping here? What did I ever do to you that you have to curse me to die? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" The lady's voice bellowed, making everyone give her a second look again.
Eh?
Could it be that she was a famous person who decided to dress up somewhat ordinarily to come out and play?
Or could it be that she was actually a wealthy lady in disguise?
Everyone stunned their eyes even more to listen in on the lady's identity.
How exciting.
What could she be?
The lady raised her nose heavenwards and puffed her chest out proudly while looking down at Dorian condescendingly.
.
The Gia family.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the young lady who was now the center of attention.
Indeed. Even though she wore ordinary clothes, the quality was still higher than that of a regular person's.
Plus, her skin was still well maintained compared to theirs.
Yes. Even though she was just a worker for the Gias, she still had to look good.
It was, in a way, a form of advertisement and competition amongst the wealthy families as well.
Look! When one thinks of entering or seeing a noble household, they will be expecting to see stunning well-maintained butlers, maids, gardeners, workers and so on.
They had to look good, even if they were 40.
Their salaries were way higher than everyday folks.
So if their skins looked cracked, or as if they had been suffering all year round, then didn't that indirectly say that the Gia household had been maltreating them?
If that's the case, then who would ever want to work for wealthy families?
All this was maintenance and advertisements that screamed out their wealth to the world.
Showing wealth also gave off respect in any profession too. It showed that they were capable and could get things done at the drop of a hat.
And the more people licked their feet for privileges, the more scared and afraid these people get off these wealthy families.
No one would think of crossing them for fear of retaliation.
The wealthy had thought things through.
Hell! Even when it came to the Tian family, Butler Sheng and those working with Dorian looked well-taken care of too.
It was just the way things went.
And so when people looked at the woman, they couldn't help enjoying her good fortune, as well as feeling a bit jealous.
Yes.
They also wished that they could work in such families. Even if they were to be gardeners across the many estate fields or those in charge of cleaning some gigantic fountains around... the pay was all high.
And seeing the way people stared at her, the lady in question started being overconfident as she squared her shoulders and tried to imitate the demeanour of how the noble ladies in the Gia household stood.
.
Looking at the awe, envy, and countless emotions the crowd faced her, the lady couldn't help smiling viciously.
'Brat! See if I don't clean you up today and make you kneel before me in apology. How dare you curse this lady?'
