Chapter 124 A Present (Part One)

Mavis sighed, "I got word that Sue's maid went to see Hailey and asked her to see Sue one last time. Did Hailey come to see her?"

Feeling a little uneasy, Harper stammered, "Grandma..."

"Tell me the truth," Mavis exclaimed, seemingly quite angry. "You don't need to cover up for Hailey. If she can be that heartless, she shouldn't be afraid of being criticized or gossiped about."

"From what I've heard, Hailey was asleep at that time. And since the maid didn't dare to disturb her, Hailey couldn't go to see her mother for the last time," Harper explained politely.

"Not daring to disturb? What do you mean by that? If you ask me, I think the truth is that she just really didn't want to see her at all! What a heartless girl she is! I can't believe she could be so cruel to her own mother. If she could treat her mother like that, there's no telling how much crueler she could be to other people," Mavis remarked. At this moment, she felt so repulsed by Hailey's actions and couldn't help but resent her. In the past, Hailey had always been the sensible one and she easily got along with other people. B

, it's for Father's good fortune," Harper said with a great smile on her face. "The wedding day is getting close. The main house has already been tidied up. And I already had it completely redecorated. The potted plants have been replaced with orchids. Her Highness is probably going to be very happy when she sees all of this. I heard she likes orchids."

"That's so considerate of you." Mavis was quite pleased with Harper. Of course, she had been favoring Harper already, and now, she loved her even more. "But Her Highness has a noble status, and she will be the hostess of the Chu Clan mansion after they get married..."

"Please don't worry, Grandma. As soon as Her Highness becomes a part of our family, I will step down from my position as the one taking care of the family affairs and hand the power over to her. Of course, in case she needs any help, I'll be more than happy to lend a hand."

"Oh, you're such a sweet girl..." As she looked at Harper, who was so well-behaved and acting so considerately, Mavis didn't know what to say. "Don't worry. Her Highness is actually easy to get along with."
