Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 440

"That’s it then," Louisa snapped, her anger bubbling over. "They dare to bully my daughter in my house! Gloria, where is Erik? Fetch him for me at once!"

"Right away."

Upon hearing the summons, Erik hurried over. When he saw both Martha and Serena standing off to the side, their expressions clearly disturbed, he turned to Louisa. Her face was etched with deep annoyance.

"Madam, what seems to be the problem?"

"Set up a higher requirement when you are hiring in the future. Don’t let just anyone in!" Louisa chided. "Rose came back home after such hardship. Kenneth and I couldn’t bear to raise our voices at her. But these two servants dare to show attitude in front of my daughter!"

Erik glanced at Rosemary and then at the servants behind her. It couldn’t be Edith and her group, could it?

Surely not Martha?

He looked at Martha, who shook her head slightly. Erik let out a silent sigh of relief.

"Madam, I am unsure which two servants have upset Ms. Rose. I shall take care of them immediately."

"By the time you do that, the fried chicken will have gone cold! I don’t even know how you manage this household! If that happens again, you won’t be managing anything!"

Hearing this, Erik quickly lowered his head.

"Madam, I apologize. I assure you that will not happen again!"

"Later, you are to call a meeting. Make sure everyone knows their place. If anyone is unhappy, they can pack their bags and leave immediately!"

"Yes, Madam." Erik maintained his bow, surprised at the intensity of Louisa’s anger.

"I will go and settle this. Rose, you go and have breakfast. Don’t be upset. I will make sure they pay."

"Mom, don’t let this upset you."

"My sweet child, you are so wronged but still worry about me."

Louisa’s heart ached even more at Rosemary’s words.

Seeing her storm off, Martha helped Serena back to her room. Both of them were furious.

That damned Rosemary was getting more and more in the way!

"Martha, did you hear? Mom said that Rosemary is her precious daughter." Serena balled her fists in frustration. Her mother was supposed to be fair, but it was clear where her favoritism lay.

"That was exactly why I told you to use Clark’s card and buy more things. If the love is gone, at least the money is still there!"

Serena finally understood Martha’s intentions. Martha was the only one who truly cared for her in this house—more than her own mother ever did!

"Rosemary is spending more and more time with the lady of the house. It’s only natural that she would favor her. After all, she is their real daughter."

Martha’s words felt like a knife to Serena’s heart.

"But the brothers haven’t spent much time with Rosemary, Serena. You need to seize this opportunity!"

Play the affection card and get the brothers to buy things.

"Soon, when Clark wakes up, go find him," Martha whispered something else into Serena’s ear.

Meanwhile...

Edith and Gloria couldn’t stop thanking Rosemary.

Rosemary replied quietly, "There’s no need to thank me. It’s my fault that you were treated poorly."

"Ms. Rose, I’m not upset! Seeing Debby and Daisy leave, I feel so relieved, so happy!" Gloria couldn’t help but break into a smile.

Doris also laughed. "This is the first time I’ve seen the lady of the house get so angry. It shows how important Ms. Rose is to her. I’m envious of your bond with her. I lost my mother when I was very young."

Her expression darkened.

Gloria added, "After this incident, I don’t think Martha will dare to step out of line. Ms. Rose, we were lucky you were here today!"

"Yeah, otherwise Martha would be walking around like she owns the place," Edith chuckled. "Ms. Rose, I can’t thank you enough."

"Don’t mention it," Rosemary responded as she heard someone call her.

"Rose, you’re up early today?"

The man descending the stairs was Clark. He vividly remembered seeing the light from Rose’s room still on at 1 a.m. last night. He was surprised she was up so early today.

"I just couldn’t sleep," Rosemary replied, looking up at him. "Did you sleep well, Clark?"

"I couldn’t at first, but the scent of that essential oil you gave me helped me drift off," Clark admitted, still baffled by the experience.

It had been a while since he’d slept so soundly.

Upon hearing this, Gloria’s interest was piqued. "What kind of essential oil was that? Sounds really useful. I want one, too!"

Rosemary noticed the envy in Gloria’s eyes.

"Would you like one? I can get it for you later."

"Oh, thank you, Ms. Rose!" Gloria couldn’t contain her excitement.

"All present get one," Rosemary added, looking at the other two ladies nearby.

Edith and Doris brightened up instantly. Did that mean they would get one too?

"Ms. Rose, you’re so kind."

Why was there such a huge difference between rich young ladies?

Serena had received the best education and had always been immersed in the finest family atmosphere. Yet, why did her manners fall short?

Then there was Rose, who, despite growing up in adversity, had awe-inspiring skills.

The gap between individuals was indeed vast.

"Have you had breakfast?" Clark asked, hooking his arm around his sister as they walked. "Any news?"

"A bit," Rosemary responded, keeping her voice low due to the presence of the house help around.

Clark turned to the house help. "You may all go."

"Yes, sir."

As Gloria left, she couldn’t help but comment, "Clark and Ms. Rose have such a strong bond. Even after all these years apart, their sibling love is still..."

She didn’t finish her sentence as she noticed Serena and Martha standing on the winding staircase, causing her to lose her words.

Martha glared at her fiercely as if she wished to mince her.

Gloria hurriedly left, cursing her bad luck for running into them again.

With Doris and Edith gone, only Serena and Martha remained on the staircase, both wearing grim expressions.

"These blind fools, thinking they’re something special, daring to gossip behind our backs."

Serena’s mind echoed Gloria’s words. The sight of Clark cozying up with Rosemary, whispering to her, caused Serena’s hand to clench into a fist.

How did Rosemary manage to do this?

With the dining area cleared by Clark, Rosemary finally spoke, "My people checked the flight records to Iridia over the past year. There’s no exit record for Carol."

"So, Carol could still be in the country?" Clark’s excitement was palpable.

"There are three possibilities: she’s still here; she went to Iridia, but her exit record was erased; or she went to another country. If she changed her name midway, that could complicate things further."

Given the extensive timeframe, finding her would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
