As she studied, Suzanne felt like some contents of the books looked familiar and that she must have


    read them before. Now that she was re-reading them, they left a strong impression on her.


    The Morrison family staff were so shocked seeing her studying so intently that they whispered about


    her among themselves.


    “Mrs. Morrison must have been an excellent student. She must have gone through at least hundreds of


    psychology books in half a month!”


    “I saw her studying tillte into the night. She probably intends to take the examination to qualify as a


    psychological counselor.”


    “She’s really focused when she studies! She didn’t even realize that went in to clean up the room. She


    gave herself a huge scare when she bumped into me when she got up to get herself a ss of water


    “Yes, she’s really impressive!”


    What Suzanne didn’t expect was that in the days that she had b herself with studying the psychology of


    women like Sally and how deal with them, Sally had kept a low profile and behaved well.


    Sally was an obedient and well-behaved youngdy in everyone’s eyes. She portrayed herself as a


    gentle, respectful, and humble


    person.


    She would give Gary and Florence back rubs and present them with nutritional herbs and tonics. She


    was also very nice toward Nathan’s brothers and sisters-inw, gifting them luxurious branded


    presents.


    Sally would even help the household staff at times. Hence, she was very well-liked by everyone in the


    Morrison family, including the household staff.


    She curried favor with everyone at any opportunity she got, and that was something that Suzanne


    could never achieve.

    That evening, Suzanne rubbed her and came out from the study when a maid told her that it was time


    for dinner. She made her way downstairs.


    Sally helped out with setting up the table in the dining room. Then, she helped serve the dishes,


    behaving as a good daughter-inw


    would.


    When Sally served Gary his soup, she told him, “Mr. Morrison, have a taste of this chicken consommé


    with truffle essence and wild


    mushroom. I made this personally.”


    Gary dly took it and eximed, “Thank you! I never noticed that not only are you able to whip up


    nice dishes, but you make some tasty soups too!


    “Your culinary skills are amazing! Any man would be lucky to m


    you!”


    Florence echoed, “That’s right! Sally would make a perfect wife!”


    Suzanne lowered her head and ate her soup in silence.


    Proud that she was being praised, Sally turned to look at Suzanne


    with a faint smile.


    “Suzanne, why have you shut yourself away and read in the study? I heard from Mrs. Morrison that


    you’re reading up on psychology books. Are you nning to take the qualification examination?”


    Suzanne put down her spoon and smiled at her. “Yes, since I haven’t got any suitable jobs now, I


    figured that I might as well make use of the time and learn something useful.


    “I can’t very well try to get Rhonda dismissed from her job like you,


    can I, Ms. Hoffis?”


    Everyone was stunned when they heard that. Rhonda Seals, the family chef, nched at that. She had


    initially thought that it was really nice of Ms. Hoffis to help her around in the kitchen.


    Now, after Suzanne’s reminder, she finally came to realize that in the two weeks that Sally hade to


    the Morrison Residence, Sally had gradually taken control of the kitchen.


    Everyone in the Morrison family had beenplimenting Sally on her culinary skills and how nice the


    food she made was.


    Seeing how close she was to losing her job, Rhonda became


    flustered.


    Florence lightly cleared her throat and tried to get Sally out of the awkward situation. She hurriedly


    said, “Sally just made us food because she’s bored and has nothing better to do. She isn’t trying to get


    Rhonda dismissed.”


    Suzanne quickly shed Sally a bright smile. Since Sally


    ting


    up the act of being gentle and capable, Suzanne would


    with that.


    “Ms. Hoffis, it’s true that you make delectable food. I’d like t some coq au vin, bouibaisse, and


    ratatouille tomorrow. That wouldn’t be too much to ask for, would it?”


    Those were three dishes known to be extremely cumbersome to


    make. Rhonda almost burst outughing when she heard that. She quickly covered her mouth and


    stifled augh.


    Sally’s fists tightened as she tried to suppress her anger. She gritted her teeth, and her face reddened


    from the effort of notshing out at


    Suzanne. She couldn’te up with any valid reason to turn down her request.


    Just then, Edgar’s voice rang out. “Mr. Nathan, you’re back! Have you had dinner yet?”


    Everyone was overjoyed to see Nathan back. They all left the dining table excitedly and rushed over to


    the door.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Suzanne was the only one who remained seated as she slowly ate her soup with her head lowered.


    When she heard that Nathan was back, her heart was finally back at ease. She had missed him a lot.


    Even in her dreams, she missed him.


    However, she didn’t feel the least bit of joy or excitement at present. Instead, there was only endless


    mncholy.
