-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.
"Ignorant Fool! I am the personal nanny for the Gia Family. That's right! Their personal nanny. So now, are you scared? Are you scared, boy?!!"
Audience.... (Crickets)
Everyone looked at the lady in a daze before looking at themselves again. You look at me, I look at you... You look at me, I look towards the sky.
This... This...
~Pff!
Their lips quivered hard while they tried to hold in their laughter.
For some, they didn't know whether to laugh or to cry instead.
Hello, sister... So you're just a nanny, and you're making all this noise?
They almost thought that she was some big person's wife. But who would've known that she was just a wouldn't instead?
.
Nonetheless, they still respected the lady and understood where she was coming from too.
You know... If she was truly from the prestigious Gia family, then she sure was higher than them in society.
Just listening to the words 'Gia family' had already shocked many silly.
The Gia family was one of the prominent first rank families within the city, alongside the Ghu, Hou, Tian, Bho and Su families.
Rumour has it that these families were so wealthy that they could use money as toilet paper for decades and still be super rich!
For sure, there were other wealthy families in the city.
But they fell in the category of the wealthy middle-class groups when compared to the Big 6.
Yes. The Tian family was still in the big 6.
Why? Because Dorian's uncle was still running all the companies... even though he himself wasn't a Tian.
So the Tian enterprises and multinational companies were still afloat.
It was just Dorian and his parents that were kicked away.
Heh. Soon, he would come for what belonged to him. But not after waking his parents up.
Of course, he had a hunch that his uncle would be the one to come to him first.
Who knows...
.
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?'
