Mrs. Wu didn’t realize it at first. It was only later that she understood what Mrs. Guan and Miss Guan meant. This was the perfect opportunity for Scarlett Garrison to slander her. Indeed, as soon as she spoke, Lucas Jennings, standing by, realized there was actually some backstory. His gaze turned to Scarlett with clear disgust.

“You are too petty. Mrs. Wu hasn’t even done anything to you. Is it really necessary? Causing trouble on your very first day back, you’re simply a…”

He didn’t get a chance to complete the phrase “troublemaker” before a cool voice from the side, carrying a hint of authority, quietly descended upon him.

“Lucas.”

With just two words, he clamped his mouth shut. A glance at his cousin revealed that even the smile on Luca Jennings’s face had turned a few degrees colder. Lucas shrank back silently, not daring to speak further. Yet, his dissatisfaction with Scarlett didn’t wane in the least.

With Lucas standing up for her, Mrs. Wu was now brimming with confidence. She straightened her back with indignation on her face.

“If Miss Guan doesn’t believe me, she can have my room searched! I have a clear conscience; I’m not afraid of searches! Although I’m just a housekeeper, I can’t be wrongly accused like this!”

The commotion had attracted quite some attention, and the butler and servants from around the villa had naturally gathered but dared not come too close. Having overheard most of it, they also formed a few impressions of the newly returned young mistress. It was said that Miss Guan came from a wealthy family and now seemed aloof, looking down on them as just nannies and servants.

No one likes to be looked down upon, so the impression they had of the young mistress who just returned home was naturally less than favorable.

Luca Jennings naturally noticed the way the servants were looking at Scarlett and faced her with a stern expression, ready to put an end to this “farce.” But before he could speak, Scarlett finally opened her mouth again, her voice steady and calm.
