Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 819 Picking a Fight

The servants soon brought Julie away to pack her things.

Everyone agreed that the punishment Donald gave her was lenient.

However, Queeny felt rather uncomfortable about this.

For some reason, she could tell that a girl like Julie would never engage in petty theft.

Nevertheless, all the evidence said she was the thief. Without a justified reason to contradict the

evidence, Queeny could not do anything about this.

The farce was finally over.

Feeling tired, Queeny told Ella to wheel her back to her room.

When they headed down the corridor, they saw Gina and several other maids lead Julie to the gate

from where the maids lived.

Julie was carrying a trunk and a backpack, which probably held her belongs.

She was still crying while wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

In the meanwhile, she kept bobbing her head, as though answering to the reminders Gina and the

others were giving her.

Seeing this, Queeny heaved a sigh inwardly.

Then, she wheeled around and went to her room.

Because of the fuss, she did not take a nap at noon.

In the afternoon, she practiced darts for two hours in her room. It was not until dinnertime that she went

out of her room again.

It was summer now, so the daytime was longer. As the castle was located on a high hill by the lake, it

was very hot here.

After the sun started setting at dusk, the evening wind glided across the lake and brought the castle

cool breezes.

Queeny was in a pretty good mood, so she didn’t want to have dinner in her room. Of course, she

wouldn’t go to the dining hall to have a meal with Bella either. Thus, she asked Ella to bring dinner to

the terrace on the second floor.

The terrace on the second floor happened to face the lake. It was about 7 in the evening. The sky was

not completely dark yet, but the street lamps were lit.

Faint moonlight had quietly radiated in the sky. The reflection of a crescent was rippling in the silver

lake.

Queeny didn’t bother to move into a dining chair. Sitting in the wheelchair and facing the moonlight-lit

lake, she began to enjoy dinner with delight.

Ella didn’t have dinner with her, for she had had her meal earlier. Now, she was just standing by the

table, waiting to serve Queeny.

But Queeny never liked to put on airs. She also distasted the old-fashioned etiquette Felix had

established.

Thus, she told Ella to sit by the table. Even if she wouldn’t eat anything, she could have some juice and

chat with her.

But Ella didn’t dare to do so. She said that she could still chat with Queeny in a standing posture. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As such, Queeny didn’t insist.

The evening breezes wafted past, while the delicious smell of the dishes permeated the air. This

evening was beautiful and serene.

Over dinner, Queeny and Ella had a casual chat. They talked about what happened in the castle

recently and how Ella’s family was like.

It was not until this time that Queeny learned Ella was an orphan.

Ella grew up in an orphanage. She no longer remembered what her birth parents looked like.

She just knew that her family was poor to the point that they didn’t have enough food or clothes.

One day, the little Ella had a fever. Her body was burning hot, and her consciousness had already

begun to fade.

In a haze, she knew her mother was sitting on the bed, crying. She cried for a whole night. The next

morning, her mother carried her on her back and went to town, then left her on the doorsteps of an

orphanage.

At that time, she was only about four years old. Normally, kids that young couldn’t remember much

about what happened in their early days.

However, the scene of her mother walking away had deeply imprinted in Ella’s memory. Perhaps that

image when would stay in her mind until she died.

Later, Ella was taken in by the orphanage and grew up. Then, halfway through high school, she

couldn’t continue studying for her grades were not good enough. Therefore, she dropped out of school

and began to work as a maid.

Her life was not special at all. But when Queeny heard the story, she couldn’t help but think of how she

had grown up.

It turned out that She and Ella were both orphans and had both led a wretched life.

After her mother passed away, Queen’s only family in this world was Sarah. But now, Sarah had gone,

too.

Thinking of this, Queeny’s heart once again trembled with pain.

With a forced smile on her face, Ella said, “It’s actually not so bad of being an orphan. Without a family,

we’re spared from a lot of worries. We can make decisions with more decisiveness and ease. But for

people who had a family, they can’t just think for themselves as we do.”

Queeny nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Her voice was ethereal, for she seemed to have sighed again.

The two didn’t speak for a while.

Right then, a coquettish laugh sounded from below.

“Don’t say that! Felix is not like what you said. He sent these over just to make up for the ones I lost.

You shouldn’t have made a fuss over this.”

“Come on, don’t you know Mr. Bissel? If he didn’t care about you, how could he think about buying you

things?”

“Exactly. He sent another batch of the finest chicken meat over right after he heard that yours had been

swapped. Moreover, he also sent a whole lot of other precious ingredients to you this time. Katy and I

have seen them. Those are all good stuff.”

Hearing this, Bella’s voice revealed a trace of rapture.

“Fine. Take me there. I wanna see what good stuff it is that made you seem so happy.”

The others instantly chuckled and said, “Sure. Let’s go.”

The group then headed for the kitchen.

Ella’s face registered contempt as she saw this. She snorted and muttered, “What a shameless bitch!”

Queeny didn’t say anything. with a perfectly calm face.

Ella eyed her and said cautiously, “Miss Horton, don’t over-interpret this. So Mr. Bissel sent some

ingredients to her. Big deal... He also sent some to you. But we didn’t think it was something worth

mentioning, so we didn’t go around and brag.”

After saying this, she also gave a cold laugh.

“These are just some fine ingredients. Yet, Bella acted like she had been given a huge reward from the

king. With her narrow horizons, she should not be Mrs. Bissel at all.”

Queeny said nonchalantly, “I don’t care.”

Then, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Seeing her cool response, Ella wasn’t sure if Queeny really didn’t care about this or she was just

pretending.

Thus, she merely said, “Of course, Miss Horton.”

After finishing her tea, Queeny asked Ella to send the utensils back to the kitchen.

She wanted to hang out there for a long while before going back to her room. However, shortly after

Ella left, Bella came in with a triumphant smile on her face.

“I’ve been looking for you. Turns out you’re here.”

The night had fallen by this time. Bella, however, had changed into an exquisite light blue dress. She

had also done her hair and put on heavy makeup. It was no exaggeration to say that she was

gorgeously decked-out.
