Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1186 Making a Scene

Evelyn wanted to drive the maid away, but the maid followed only Rita's orders. Even though she was afraid, she nonetheless stayed.

Seeing her like this, Evelyn got even more furious. She picked up everything within her reach and threw all of them at the maid.

The poor girl managed to dodge several times. However, there was one piece of ornament that she failed to dodge in time, and it hit her hard on the forehead. This ornament was made of iron, and as a result, her forehead started bleeding as soon as it got hit.

The girl crouched down in pain while clapping her hand over her forehead. With teary eyes, she looked as though she had suffered a great injustice. Indeed, she had suffered an injustice. The ornament was extremely solid, and it made her forehead bleed; it went without saying that it hurt. Despite working as a maid for a rich family, she hadn't been mistreated by the Goulds, who had always been amiable. This time, though, she did look aggrieved at being mistreated by the spoiled and unreasonable Evelyn.

Hearing the loud smash inside, Mrs. Collins pushed the door open and came in with a frown. As soon as she came in and saw the mess, she knitted her brows and asked in displeasure in a grim voice, "What are you doing?" Although she was a servant, she had a high standing in the Gould Family. This was because she had grown up with Rita and singlehandedly brought up several of the Gould Family's children. For this reason, everyone in the Gould Family addressed her with respect by calling her Mrs. Collins.

The haughty look on Evelyn's face disappeared the instant she saw Mrs. Collins come in. After clenching her teeth, she instead accused the girl, pointing at her and saying, "She's the one who messed with me in the first place!"

Feeling particularly wronged, the girl bit her lip, but she made no retort.

Being a member of the Gould Family, Mrs. Collins understood at a glance what was happening. She went up and checked on the girl's injury before instructing in a soft voice, "Go get it treated at the hospital. I'll get your expenses paid."

Stunned, the girl looked up with eyes full of gratitude. She quickly nodded and replied, "Okay. Thank you so much, Mrs. Collins." After that, she hurriedly fled the scene.

Seeing the mess all over the place, Mrs. Collins called somebody to clean it up. After it was done, she sat in the chair and said slowly, "Miss Wrenn, since you think that girl was bad at looking after you, I'll do it instead. Just tell me if you're dissatisfied with anything."

Evelyn looked at her with an ugly expression. Had it been any other servant, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to abuse them as she pleased. However, Mrs. Collins was different. Even though she was a servant of the Gould Family, she had raised Siobhan. If she threw tantrums in front of her, she probably wouldn't be able to get much out of it. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Collins. After pondering for a moment, she gave in, saying, "Mrs. Collins, I want to go out. I'm bored to death staying in here all the time."

Mrs. Collins didn't even bat an eye. She calmly replied, "Miss Wrenn, this is a time of emergency, so please understand."

Evelyn stood up and yelled in a hoarse voice, "What time of emergency is this? It's just that I want to be with Colton! Old Mrs. Gould is just being unfair. She's been siding with Nicole and making things difficult for me at every turn just because Nicole is her own granddaughter!"

In an instant, Mrs. Collins' eyes darkened. She reprimanded in a stern voice, "Were it not for Old Mrs. Gould, you would've been in jail by now!" Rita's bark had always been worse than her bite. It would take only a bit of investigation to find out what Evelyn had done, but she bailed Evelyn out nonetheless; after all, Evelyn was a granddaughter of the Gould Family. She didn't tell anyone other than Mrs. Collins about this, but Evelyn was simply heartless and ungrateful and totally oblivious to how much Rita cared about her. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Ha!" Evelyn's lips curled into a sneer; just as expected, she didn't believe it at all. "How ridiculous! She'd side with me? That's impossible!"
