Chapter 1993 Humiliation
The hand that Kaylee used to hold the fork had turned pale, showing the immense strength she was
applying.
She secretly made a vow in her heart.
The day the offspring insect enters Julia’s body will be the day these people can no longer be
complacent.
Bella put down her fork, turned to Julia, and with a slightly coquettish tone, she said, “Grandma, are
you implying that your granddaughter is boring? Can’t I keep you company?”
Before Julia could respond, Bella spoke again. “When you asked me to move back here, it wasn’t like
this. You said that once I returned, you wouldn’t be bored. Having someone to talk to is always good.
Who would have thought that you’d grow tired of your granddaughter so quickly?”
With a smile, Julia tapped Bella’s forehead affectionately and said, “Stop being a monkey, causing a
fuss here. Don’t you know the basic etiquette of not talking while eating and before sleeping? Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnapp is your sister-in-law’s lifesaver, and now she has nowhere to go. It’s only right for us to take her
in.. When have I ever said I was fed up with you?”
Based on Julia’s response, it seemed as if Bella was being scolded for her lack of manners, but wasn’t
it also implying that Kaylee lacked manners as well? By addressing Elisa as Bella’s sister-in-law, her
status was emphasized, and the use of the term “take her in” reiterated Kaylee’s position. Julia was
truly eloquent.
Upon hearing Julia’s words, Bella smiled happily.
Just like that, she agreed with her grandmother.
However, after finishing the meal, Kaylee insisted on washing the dishes.
Julia made a couple of polite remarks but didn’t genuinely try to stop her.
Watching Kaylee’s diligent demeanor, Bella said with a meaningful tone, “What a pity that Gareth rarely
comes back.”
Kaylee’s smile became somewhat stiff as she explained, “I’m not here for Gareth. I know where I stand,
and I’m not worthy of him. Besides, he’s with Ms. Benett. They are a perfect match. How could I
possibly come between them?”
Bella raised an eyebrow. “Well, I wasn’t pitying you, you know.”
Kaylee realized that she had jumped the gun, which made it seem like a clear indication of guilt on her
part.
However, resentment toward Bella had also taken root in her heart. Kaylee secretly vowed that if she
ever got the chance, she would deal with her first.
Watching Kaylee busily move about, Bella couldn’t shake off the nagging feeling of dread within her.
Especially during their meals together, both Elisa and Rachel had mentioned that they found Kaylee a
bit
odd.
It was challenging to point out exactly what was odd about her, but to put it in simpler terms… she
seeme eerily strange.
It felt as if she harbored many secrets.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. As long as Grandma is happy with her decision, that’s all that matters.
When Bella went to work the next day, she told Elisa about the matter.
This is to prevent Elisa from being caught off guard the next time she returns to Wickam Manor.
Also, Kaylee might even have a chance to act like the matriarch again when the time comes.
I won’t let something like this happen.
Upon hearing this, Elisa furrowed her brows and asked, “Is this what Grandma wants?”
“Yes. I really don’t know what’s gotten into Grandma, keeping someone around who’s clearly got their
sights set on Gareth… It’s a good thing he doesn’t come back often.”
Meanwhile, Elisa understood Julia’s intentions quite clearly. All she wants is to keep Kaylee under her
watchful” eye so that she won’t be able to stir up any trouble.
At first, Elisa thought the same way.
However, the facts proved that she was wrong.
Moreover, things were fine at the company. Whatever Kaylee wanted to do, it was in the public gaze.
Yet, she was genuinely a bit worried about living and eating together.
