“Yeah,” replied Wendy as another stream of tears escaped her eyes. “I didn’t know that he has someone else already. Now that I know, I’m not going to bother him anymore. Ms. Stone, I know that you want me to be your daughter-in-law, but I guess I’m not meant to be.” Wendy sounded so pitiful that Susanne’s heart ached for her. “No, don’t say that. Do you know who he likes, though? The Nightshires won’t let anyone in that easily.
For me, you’re still the best choice.” Wendy pretended to think for a while before saying, “Yeah, and she’s quite beautiful. When I saw her, she was wearing Soir Coffee’s uniform, so she might be a waitress there.” “What!” shouted Susanne in disbelief, face turning dark. “She’s a waitress!” Wendy nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, yes. Otherwise, why would she be wearing Soir Coffee’s uniform?” “No! This is unacceptable!”
Susanne yelled furiously. “Does she seriously think that the Nightshires will recognize a mere waitress like her? We’re way out of her league!” Seeing Susanne’s reaction, Wendy was secretly delighted. Yes, that’s more like it. Without Susanne’s recognition, that waitress will not surpass me, even if she’s the one Vinson likes. Her dad had a mistress once, and the mistress was so haughty that she wanted to marry into the family.
However, the elders of the Greenes refused to recognize her, so the mistress had to leave Horington in the end. In this day and age, status matters the most. Those without any significant background will always remain a small fry. At that moment, Geoffrey, the butler, came rushing in. “Mrs. Nightshire…” He stopped talking when his eyes landed on Wendy. “School is about to start, Ms. Stone. I’ll head back to my room to do revisions,” uttered Wendy sensibly.
She was enrolled in Jadeborough University’s elite class. Unlike regular classes, the elite class would conduct monthly exams. If the students performed poorly, they might not get the graduation certification from the university. She prided herself on good grades, but she had heard that the courses and examinations in the elite class were challenging, so she could not take it lightly.
“Stay.” Susanne grabbed her hand. “It’s not like you’re a stranger.” Since the other woman was merely a waitress, Wendy remained her top choice of becoming Vinson’s wife. Raising her chin slightly, Susanne motioned for Geoffrey to start talking. “Regarding the woman who managed to get Mr. Vinson’s interest, I’ve found her.
Here’s a photo of her.” Geoffrey handed Susanne the photo. Since Susanne had met countless beautiful ladies in her life, she was not expecting anything. However, just when she thought she would be unimpressed, her eyes widened twice as much when she saw the woman in the photo. How can a café waitress be this stunning?
