S21 20. Kara’s Anger

Susan smiled broadly. She knew Melanie felt depressed.

“I’m not proud, but grateful. I appreciate whatever I have now and I am grateful to those who make sure I always have enough.”

Melanie laughed bitterly. “Let’s see how long you can be grateful. Would you still be grateful when you couldn’t feel luxury anymore? Let’s just wait.”

Susan nodded. A moment later, her hand stretched towards the door.

“Thank you for visiting my simple room. If you have nothing else to do, may I rest?”

The look in Melanie’s eyes was getting scarier. With a throbbing jaw,

she walked out of Susan’s room.

‘I should be intimidating that poor woman, but why was I the one who’s annoyed?’

Behind her furrowed brows, Melanie’s brain was working fast. After a few moments, her sly smile appeared. “That poor woman deserve lesson.” Carrying scissors, she went to the greenhouse.

In the afternoon, when Susan came to her garden, her eyes widen at her bare plants. All the flowers and leaves had withered on the ground. Small pots are also out of place.

The servant glanced at her pitifully. She knew how much Susan loved her garden.

“Wait a moment, Mrs. Martin. I’ll call for more help.”

After nodding, she ran outside, called another servant and also
