Chapter:07: Her Status:

It was already dinner time by the time Ivy returned to the Willard family mansion.

Knowing how hellish it would be, returning home by that time of the night, Ivy prepared herself for the backlash from members of the Willard family.

As soon as she entered the living room, her eyes fell on the large number of people sitting in the dining hall.

Immediately she found her way toward the dining room, the eerie voice from the dining hall forced her to stop in her tracks.

“Look who has returned, grandma.!”

Ivy knew who exactly the sharp voice belongs to, it was Jane Willard. She was the first granddaughter of the Willard family and one of the most wanted socialites in the city with an impressive and outstanding idiosyncrasy.

“Ivy, do you think you are doing us a favour? How dare you return to the Willard family so late at night, dressing so shamelessly?”

Old lady Willard roared out, dropping her cutlery on the plate. Then, she focuses her eyes on Ivy.

Ivy was apparently shaking at the loud outburst of the old lady.

“Oh grandma, who knows what she has been doing all day long at the hotel? It's such an indecent place yet your granddaughter inlaw finds so much joy roaming around the place without any care in the world. I wonder what she does!” Bridget Presley chimed in with a tone filled with disdain.

She was the first granddaughter inlaw of old lady Willard and the wife of Nathan Willard. She was the only daughter of the prestigious Presley family.

Bridget Presley was both rich and classy, and because of this, she looked down on Ivy Haddock.

When lady Willard heard what she said, her mind surged up with anger and she couldn't bear to tolerate it anymore.

“Don't even think about this. Ivy goes around dressing indecently trying to find a man to hook up with since our Willard family has refused to entertain her social climber status, she might as well look for another way out. Don't you think?”

This time, it was Vera Quin, who spoke. She was the second granddaughter of the Willard family.

Vera Quin was the wife of the second grandson of the Willard family, Alex Willard. She was a famous hotshot actress with an affluent family for a backup. Because of her impressive family background, she became one of the favoured daughter inlaws in the family.

“I don't even dare to think of what she's capable of doing. Moreover, both she and her grandmother had fooled grandpa into getting her married into the Willard family when she's not even qualified to be our maid” Charlotte Willard said.

Being the second young granddaughter of the Willard family, she was very proud and arrogant since her family was the second richest family in the entire Sun city.

Slap!

“It's enough already! I want some quiet”

Lady Willard slapped her palms on the table and the entire place returned to normalcy.

“You all shoulder better hurry up and finish up your food and continue with the works assigned to you,I want the reports by the morning” Lady Willard with a note of finality.

With that everyone return their disdainful gazes back to their plates abs left Ivy hanging like she didn't exist.

“As for you Ivy, you are not even worthy of being called a servant in the Willard mansion yet you dared to show your arrogant side to our Willard family? You should be grateful, there is still a little more time before I throw you out of this family” Lady Willard said to Ivy.

“Im sorry grandma, it wasn't my intention to be rude. I just went to visit my grandmother at the hospital that's why I'm late this time, and my grandma isn't doing so good” Ivy said in a low voice.

“Oh spare me the details and go do your works! I don't have to remind what your status is in the Willard family” Lady Willard exclaimed authoritatively.

With the instructions given, Ivy silently left the dining room and strode to the kitchen.

“What happened? How did the meeting at the hotel go?” Isla came after her and asked? ”

Ivy shrugged her shoulders sadly and didn't say anything. She felt that if she opened her mouth to say a word, she might up crying.

However, Isla was quick witted so she understood what she meant.

“Im sorry about that. But, how are you going to pay for grandmother's surgery now? This was your only way out , right?” Isla was concerned.

“I don't know. I really don't know yet but I will find a way out” She feigned a smile on her face.

“I couldn't find Chase at the dining table. Was he not back from work yet?” Ivy asked as she picked up the used frying pan and kept it in the washing basin.

“Sir Chase came back a little while ago but he retired to his room, saying that he was ill. Because of this, Madame let him rest” Isla said.

“Oh I see, I will bring some hot chocolate drink for him then” Ivy picked up the mug and lit up the gas cooker.

“Maam Ivy, aren't you forgetting something? Sir Chase doesn't like to drink chocolate, did you forget?”

“I know he doesn't like the drink but I think it will be good for him this time. Don't worry, I will make him drink it at all cost”

After being married to Chase Willard, the third grandson of the Willard family for two years. She was well aware of what he liked and doesn't.

Even though their marriage was simply a marriage of convenience, Ivy still wanted to form a bond.

After all, she fell in love with him the very first time they met at the rural beach when they were still too young to keep bonds.

Ivy said and pour the hot chocolate drink into the mug and placed it on the serving tray before heading out.

She picked up the tray and head out of the kitchen, going to the second floor of the house. Where her room was.
