Upon hearing Selene’s words, Esther looked at her, a sudden question forming in her mind. Could it be true that this
elegant and composed woman had never thought about getting a divorce?
“The Pendleton men have always been unpredictable, and my son is no different.” Selene continued. “He might be
infatuated with you for a while, showering you with attention. But once the ty wears off, he’ll be attracted to
other interests.
“You must now secure your position, stay composed, and understand your role.”
Selene handed a notebook about the Pendletons’ social interactions to Esther, her tone chilly. “Go through this
notebook thoroughly. The butler handles everything else in the household, but as the future lady of the Pendletons,
you must memorize every detail, learn to command, and take charge.”
Esther accepted the notebook with both hands, her anxiety evident as she asked, “Can I?”
“What do you think?” Selene rose and summoned a maid. “Shelly, accompany her to the bedroom.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShelly asked, “Madam, the young master’s bedroom or…”
Selene replied, “The guest room.”
Esther sat at the desk in the guest room, skimming through Selene’s notebook. She turned the pages one by one,
feeling the cold sweat on her brow. Selene was even more formidable than she had expected.
She feared that Selene might test her, so she had no choice but to read the notebook attentively. She was so
engrossed in her reading she didn’t notice the evening slowly approaching.
The long-lasting Pendletons had trained and nurtured many individuals. Apart from professional gardeners tending
to the home garden, service staff was responsible for mowing and fertilizing.
Despite the butler’s various household tasks, Selene still knew everything by heart.
The sound of a gentle knock on the door roused Esther.
“Please come in.”
Shelly entered quietly and said in a hushed tone, “Dinner will be served in ten minutes.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Esther took a deep breath, tidied herself up in the bathroom, and brought the notebook to the living room.
Mandy and Bradley were engaged in conversation with Selene in the living room.
“Mrs. Pendleton.”

Selene casually glanced at Esther and asked, “Have you finished reading it all?”
Esther nodded. “Yes.”
“Please, take a seat.”
Esther looked at the vacant spaces on the sofa, realizing she couldn’t sit beside Bradley and Mandy. After a
moment’s hesitation, she settled next to Selene.
Selene warningly looked toward Bradley. “Mr. Warner, regarding you and Esther…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMandy proactively clarified, “Mother, they’re already divorced.”
Bradley discreetly glanced at Esther and added, “Yes, we’re divorced.”
“Even though Mandy isn’t my biological daughter, she has always called me ‘Mother’. Today, I’ll give you a motherly
warning. I don’t care who you were before, and I don’t care about your past. But from the moment you decided to
marry Mandy, you became a part of the Pendleton family.
“Pendleton daughters have the right to be a bit spoiled and willful. If Mandy does anything wrong, you can tell me,
her father, or her mother. However, if you ever harm her in any way, the Pendletons will ensure you face the
consequences.”
For some reason, a twinge of envy grew in Esther’s heart. She wondered if her own mother would have said
something like that to her son-in-law if she were still alive. She also longed for a mother who could support her in
such a manner.
“Mrs. Pendleton, please don’t worry. I will take excellent care of Mandy. After all, she donated her liver to save my
life. I will always remember to repay her kindness.”
Bradley’s words were sincere. He understood that Mandy didn’t have much freedom within the Pendletons.
