Chapter 20 Taken For A Maid
Amelia furrowed her brow. Then, she took out her cell phone and gave Cooper a call.
Once the call got through, Amelia snapped. “Cooper, what’s the big idea? Why did you shut my daughter
out? Are you getting too old to do the butler job?”
On the other end of the phone, Cooper’s face hardened after his working abilities were doubted.
“Mrs. Hart, Mr. Lockwood has never suspected my working abilities,” he said, still in a polite tone, though
with a tinge of caution.
Amelia threw a tantrum. “As expected, you’re frail! You should call me Madame Lockwood! Don’t forget
I’m Mr. Lockwood’s aunt!”
When she was shouting, she emphasized the word “Lockwood.”
Cooper stayed calm.
Amelia’s husband’s surname was Hart, so it was only natural to call her Mrs. Hart.
The problem was that everyone wanted to be related to the Lockwood family. So even if they had
absolutely nothing to do with the Lockwood family, they still wanted to make up a connection between
them, let alone Amelia was indeed related to the Lockwood family.
She was a very distant relative, though. She almost had no blood connection with the Lockwood family.
Cooper stayed silent.
Cooper’s silence made Amelia think that Cooper finally understood Amelia’s standing.
She took a long breath. Then, looking at Sophia, who was outside the gate, she shouted in a fury, “My
daughter was shut out, didn’t you hear? This is how you work? Do you think I dare not report this to Mr.
Lockwood?”
Cooper explained in a calm tone, “Madame Lockwood, you just said that you came here to say hi to Mr.
Lockwood. You didn’t mention anything about your daughter being with you.
“Therefore, your daughter has no right to enter Northernville Manor.”
After Amelia heard this, her face contorted. Then, in a fury, she vehemently thundered, “Cooper, you’re
just a servant! How dare you talk to me like this!
“Do you know my father, Nathan Lockwood? Do you know how he died back then?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He died saving the last chieftain!
“How is it that you, a servant, dare to talk to a savior of the Lockwood family this way?
“Does Mr. Lockwood know you talk to me like this? Aren’t you afraid Mr. Lockwood will chase you out of
the Lockwood family?”
Amelia’s shrill voice oozed through the phone into Draxton’s ears. Draxton frowned and said to Cooper,
“Let them in.”
After receiving the order, Cooper nodded slightly and said, “Madame Lockwood, you can take your
daughter in now.”
Cooper hung up the phone, and his face hardened.
Draxton’s eyes cast down. No one could read his expression.
Before Draxton knew it, Alan and Martin had entered the room.
“Amelia and the Hart family have skimmed a lot off you. I guess even they themselves don’t know how
much money they’ve gotten from you.
“I mean, sure, Nathan saved the last chieftain in the past, but I think we’ve repaid them for that. “And last
time we saved Sophia, so we’re even now.
“But Amelia harps on the whole saving the last chieftain thing and does whatever she wants. It’s
ridiculous!”
On the other side of the manor, Amelia, followed by Sophia, complacently walked into Northernville
Manor and strode toward the living room.
Along the way, Amelia looked at her beautifully–dressed daughter and nodded in satisfaction.
‘Sophie, you’re gorgeous! I bet Mr. Lockwood will be swept off his feet by you!
“Remember, if you can manage to become his secretary, you’ll get a chance to be close to him. That
way, you have time to work your magic, alright?
“You got to seize this opportunity!”
Sophia combed her hair with her hand and narrowed her eyes in a quirky smile.
“I know, Mom, you’ve said so many times! Mr. Lockwood saved me, and now we fall in love. How
romantic!”
“What a silly girl!”
Amelia pretended to scold Sophia, but she was confident about her daughter’s charm.
Isabella’s throat was a bit dry. She decided to go into the house for two cups of water in case Ricky
wanted
water too.
As Isabella came in, Alan and Martin cast an impassive glance at her.
Isabella ignored them and went right into the kitchen.
Amelia and Sophia walked into the living room. Amelia did not cramp her wings at all and started to
laugh. once she entered the room.
“Hello, Draxton, long time no see! Now you look so like a big boss!”
Amelia acted like an elder relative.
The corners of Alan and Martin’s mouths twitched. They could not believe that Amelia dared to call
Draxton by his first name. Only Draxton’s close family has the right to call him that.
Amelia had crossed the line.
Looking at Draxton, Sophia blushed immediately. She sheepishly stood behind Amelia and peeked at
Draxton.
Draxton’s eyes darkened, and he did not say anything. Seeing herself as Draxton’s elder relative, Amelia
sat on the sofa without anyone asking her to.
She even dragged Sophia to sit with her and pushed her toward Draxton.
“Draxton, this is Sophie. Thank you for saving her life last time. I guess you two young people must have
a lot to talk about.
“Sophie, hustle, say hi to your brother.”
“Hello, Drax, I’m Sophie.” She looked at Draxton with a quirky expression on her face.
Draxton was speechless.
The corner of Cooper’s mouth twitched.
Now Cooper had understood Amelia’s intention. After all these years, taking money from Draxton did not
satisfy her anymore. Cooper could not believe that she had the guts to pull this lousy trick.
At that moment, Isabella walked out of the kitchen with two cups of hot juice in her hands.
Noticing that they had guests in the living room, Isabella did not say anything to Draxton and went
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoutside. To her surprise, someone suddenly called out to her before she took more than a few steps.
“Hey, that maid, who told you to give us hot juice? We only drink cold juice! How dare you not ask us
before choosing any juice?
“How did a stupid maid like you get into Northernville Manor?”
Isabella was speechless.
Isabella looked down at her clothes. Casual–style clothes were usually her favorite, and luxury brands
were not that appealing to her. But, be that as it may, she still could not believe that Amelia would take
her for a maid.
She glanced at Amelia and took her for a fool based on her arrogant expression. Isabella turned her
head to go out.
Amelia’s face fell a bit when she saw Isabella going out without sending juice to her or answering her
questions.
Amelia jumped to her feet and ran after Isabella.
“You, stop right there!
“How can you, such small fry, be this rude to me? Do you know who I am?”
Isabella had to stop and take a look at Amelia. “I’ve just been here for a few days, so I have no idea who
you
are.”
Sophia, who was obsessed with Draxton before, cast a curious look at her mother and Isabella as she
heard the argument between Amelia and Isabella.
With just one glance, Sophia knew from her feminine intuition that Isabella was by no means an average
maid.
“Mom, she’s just a new maid. No need to argue with her.”
Sophia acted like she decided to be the bigger man.
Though she said that, she turned to smile at Draxton and asked, “Drax, don’t you think so? And I hope
you won’t punish her too. After all, she’s new here.”
She had two big watery eyes, a small delicate nose, and small red lips. When she smiled, she looked
mesmerizing. And the dimples in her cheeks added more charm to her. She was no doubt a cute and
good–looking girl.
