Female Novel
Chapter 377
The traffic thinned out when night came, and they came back to Flintstone Residence not long later.After the servant rang the doorbell and talked to the guy inside, they opened the gates for the car.
Matilda was in her room, frustrated. She tried to call the mercenary today, but nobody took the call. Didthey do it? At least give me an update! She kept pacing back and forth until her servant came knocking.“What is it?” she said impatiently.
The servant said, “Old Mrs. Constance is here. You might want to see her.”
Matilda was stunned. “She’s here?”
Isn’t it supposed to be William? “Is William here?” she asked.
“No. Only her and her servant,” the servant replied flatly.
Matilda felt annoyed. She left the Constance Residence because of the fight with William. Why’s heasking his mom to pick me up? When she recalled the look of disdain Old Mrs. Constance gave herduring the fight with William, she was vexed. Deciding to put on airs, she said, “No. I won’t go downunless William’s apologizing.”
The servant waited for a little while longer before going away, leaving Matilda alone and fuming.William had never done this to her. No matter what happened, he would always end up apologizing ifshe got angry, but now he slapped her just for Sophia.
The thought of that irked her. William wasn’t the only one to slap her that day; Sophia did too. Nobody
had ever done that to her in her life, so she couldn’t let it slide this easily, not unless William apologizedand repented for his actions.
Thus, Matilda stayed in her room, and a while later, the servant came knocking again. “The madamwants you downstairs, miss.”
My mother wants me down there? All the more reason she didn’t want to be there. Her mother keptchastising her during dinner earlier, saying she was a socially inept and ungrateful lady. “At this rate,you’re going to run yourself into a wall.” novelbin
Matilda was frustrated to hear that. How could she say that when I’m the one who’s hurt? She wouldn’tgo down now, or else her mother would reprimand her in front of Old Mrs. Constance. I’m not an idiot.There’s no way I’m going down just for that. “No! Just leave me alone!” she shouted.
Hearing this, the servant left again. As she lay on her bed, Matilda took her phone out, wanting to callWilliam. No, If I do that, that means I’m giving up. At the thought of that, she held her urge back and puther phone down.
A while later, someone banged on the door. This is someone else. Before she could say anything, hermother demanded, “Get out right now!”
Matilda snorted silently. Oh, so she’s coming to me instead, huh? She ignored her mother, remainingon the bed, and after a few more bangs, everything went quiet.
A few minutes later, however, Matilda heard someone unlocking the door, then it was opened, and incame her mother, looking cold.
Matilda sat up, her expression icy. “Do you have to go this far?”
