GoodReadChapter 165
Maisie said, “If she bears another male heir for real, perhaps her status in the Vanderbilts will be
different i n the case of Madam Vanderbilt being pleased and loving the grandson.”
‘Aunt Leila is trying to bear a male heit?’
Linda expressed her astonishment. She was aware of her grandmother valuing grandsons more than
granddaughters all the while.
Her deadbeat younger brother had always been highly regarded more than her in Coralia. She was
compelled to take on the chores at home despite her young age, while her brother needed not to do
anything.
Her grandmother had only treated her a little better only when she was about the age to wed. Her
grandmother was counting on her to marry into a rich family so she could support her younger brother
financially.
However, Madam Vanderbilt had no idea that she wanted to marry the rich not because she wanted to
support her brother financially but because she wanted to cut loose from being ordered around by her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbrother.
If her aunt were to bear a male heir, perhaps her grandmother’s focus would not be placed on her
brother solely anymore.
At the thought of this, Linda yearned for that in her heart to a certain extent.
The office door opened all of a sudden while Linda fell to the floor next to Kennedy’s feet because she
was eavesdropping through the door.
Kennedy furrowed his brows as he looked at her.
Maisie naturally noticed Linda and looked up. “Why are you standing outside the door?”
Linda got up with an embarrassed look on her face. “Maisie, I… I’m here to see you. I’m sorry, I wasn’t
trying to eavesdrop on purpose.”
Linda was about to burst into tears.
Kennedy looked at Maisie.
Maisie nodded, permitting him to leave.
Maisie placed down the document. “How can I help you?”
“I… I would like to inquire from you because there are many things that I’m not well aware of on my first
day of internship. Maisie, you won’t think I’m troubling you, right?” asked Linda cautiously.
Even though Maisie was not a fan of the Vanderbilts, she knew that Linda was only behaving in this
manner because of Madam Vanderbilt’s brainwashing.
Compared to Willow, Linda did not disgust her other than just being a little pretentious.
Most importantly, Linda had yet to do anything to hurt her.
Maisie stood up and walked to Linda slowly. “Why would I think that? You may seek my guidance if
there’s anything you don’t understand, of course. You may also seek guidance from Director Zaleski or
the
other staff members.”
“Thank you, Maisie. I have one more question to ask you, Maisie.”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you hate me very much?” asked Linda weakly.
Maisie humored her by saying, “No.” Linda looked up to see her, smiling sweetly. “That’s great…”.
Before Maisie could understand her intention, Linda suddenly hugged Maisie. “Maisie, I really do want
to leam from you. I know that I’m a fool, but I hope that you won’t mind me. The family members in my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhometown disliked me because I’m a girl, and I’m very scared of being hated.”
While Linda was speaking, she conveniently pulled a hair from Maisie and held it in her hand.
Maisie did not speak.
Linda let go of her and took a step back with her head lowered. “I’m sorry, Maisie. I have no choice but
to obey my grandmother because I want her to take me seriously. However, I’m glad to know that you
don’t hate me.”
She smiled and said, “I shall head back to work now.”
Maisie felt rather puzzled as she gazed after Linda’s departing silhouette.
Could it be that she regarded all the Vanderbilt family members as the same and did not favor them
because of her dislike for the Vanderbilts?
Could it be that Linda was different from the rest of them?
Was it her fault for being narrow-minded?
At the Lucas family…
Louis arrived at the study room. He was aware of his mother, Larissa, meeting him for Willow’s matter.
He had his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the wall, expressionless. “Do you really think that
Willow is a cousin of mine?”
