The Clark residence.
Auntie Wren was about to take out the trash.
As she opened the door she saw the hesitant Enna Clark standing there. Startled, she dropped the trash, quickly walked up to her and asked, “First Young Lady?”
“Auntie Wren…” Enna Clark did not expect anyone to be there at this ti. Looking startled, she gaped.
Auntie Wren ‘ah’ed, her eyes welling up with tears, “It’s , it’s . Young
Lady, when did you return ho? Why didn’t you tell anyone?”
“I arrived not long ago.” Thinking about her purpose for coming, she bit her lower lip and asked, “Auntie Wren, is Dad at ho?”
“President Clark is ho.” Auntie Wren paused before adding, “Madam and the second young lady are also at ho.”
Juliet Jordan and Jasmine Clark were also ho?
Enna Clark tightened her lips, took a step and began walking inside saying, “I am here to speak to my dad about sothing, I will go in first.”
“Good.” Auntie Wren’s heart filled with happiness, she looked at her affectionately, laughed and went back to pick up the trash, “I am going to buy groceries, young lady will you stay ho for lunch? I will make your favorite dish, Beer Duck.”
Before Enna Clark could finish, Auntie Wren was already happily interrupting her, “It’s settled then. Go ahead inside, young lady, you ca to talk to President Clark right? I have to take out the trash and then go to the wet market.”
Having said that, she excitedly left.
Enna Clark called out to her several tis, but she didn’t hear.
Seeing her leave, Enna Clark had no choice but to go inside.
The Clark residence is in a villa area, each household here has an independent villa with a courtyard. Arriving at the start of spring, many Begonia Flowers were in full bloom, making the villa appear like a castle from a children’s story.
However, Enna Clark knew this castle had nothing to do with her.
She took a deep breath, opened the door, and stepped inside.
After five years, the living room decorations remained the sa as when she left, luxurious and opulent. An elegantly dressed woman was sitting on the couch reading a book. Upon seeing her en ter, the woman’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with undisguised loathing.
Enna Clark walked up to her and courteously said, “Auntie May.”
The crisp, elegant voice of the young lady made Juliet Jordan’s heartstrings tremble!
No wife would like her husband’s illegitimate daughter, and she was no different. However, having chosen to forgive her husband years ago, she was obliged to be a gracious and virtuous stepmother. Suppressing her disgust, Juliet Jordan asked coldly, “Why have you returned?” Hadn’t she already gone abroad? Why had she returned?
Enna Clark knew Juliet Jordan didn’t like her and that this dislike was unchangeable. She had never intended to deliberately please Juliet Jordan.
Standing there, she calmly said, “I have sothing to discuss with my dad.
After our conversation, I will leave.”
The expression on Juliet Jordan’s face eased slightly. She glanced upstairs and said, “Your dad is on the second floor.”
“Thank you, Auntie May.” Enna Clark sighed in relief and made her way upstairs.
Just as she was about to knock on the study door, she heard Jasmine Clark’s coquettish voice. “Dad, I want to be with Brother William.”
William…
Enna Clark involuntarily paused. An image of the warm and gentle man’s face surfaced in her mind, causing an inexplicable heartache.
“William Sullivan?” An authoritative male voice filled with displeasure echoed,
“No! William Sullivan is your sister’s fiance.”
Jasmine Clark seed unhappy and retorted, “Fiance? It was just sothing Uncle and Aunt were joking about when we were children. Dad, why are you taking it seriously?”
“Dad, let be with Brother William, please-“
