Chapter 205

As soon as Kendall entered the main house, she saw Alice in the courtyard. Alice seemed to be strolling around, but she was actually waiting for Kendall.

"Kendall." Alice came over to greet her.

"Miss Alice, everyone is inside waiting for Young Mistress Kendall," Vivian spoke to remind the duo not to waste time standing there.

Alice glared at Vivian and responded, "Vivian, I'm just sharing with Kendall about the condition of her pets and it won't take more than two minutes. You can wait by the side."

Vivian had no other option but to keep her distance and give them some privacy.

"Kendall, my mom and the others are waiting for you inside. You must be aware of their intentions too. They want to stop you from going out to work and force you to stay home like them to care for their husband and kids. My mom doesn't like you at all, so she might be rude in her words. You have to be prepared."

Alice was worried as she voiced out, "Kendall, I actually hope that you can stand your ground. As long as you are able to continue working, then I might be able to stand up for myself in the future."

Although Alice was rich enough, she wanted to experience earning money by putting in her own efforts.

Kendall smiled and tugged Alice's hand. Subsequently, she patted the back of Alice's hand and said, "Alice, you've got to put in the effort yourself to pursue what you want. We shouldn't accept our fate just like that."

Kendall was determined not to let anyone stop her from going out to work because that was her primary goal in her second chance at life.

Alice saw that there was no look of fear in Kendall's eyes and couldn't help praising Kendall admiringly, "Kendall, you're way better than all of us because you've got Dylan's support. My dad and the rest are old-fashioned in their ways and they just want to hold on to the family rules. My mom mentioned that when she was younger, she operated a business but as soon as my dad found out, she had to shut the business immediately. Kendall, I won't keep you any longer. Hurry up and go inside. I'll wait for you right here. If things start to turn pear-shaped, just holler at me and I'll get Dylan to rescue you right away."

Kendall was tickled by Alice's righteous behavior and at the same time, she was quite touched too.


With a smile, Kendall responded, "Sure, if the mistresses group together to attack me, I'll holler at you to send for help."

"They won't lay hands on you, but they'll get their servants to do so."

The mistresses of the Coleman Family were well-reputed and had images to maintain in Orapolis so they were mindful of their identity. Even if they were in an angered state, they would never resort to taking action themselves but instead ask someone else to do their dirty job.

At that moment, she thought to herself, Well, even if those servants come at me at the same time, I wouldn't be afraid at all.

Alice asked Vivian to come over, "Vivian, lead Kendall inside."

Vivian then turned to Kendall and said, "Young Mistress Kendall, come on inside."

Kendall turned to direct a comforting look at Alice and followed Vivian into the house thereafter.

She experienced the same thing as her first time being summoned to the main house and every mistress of the Coleman Family was in the room. Old Madam Coleman was in the middle and her five daughter-in-laws sat by her side with Emily in the main position by her side.

"Old Madam Coleman, Mrs. Colemans, Young Mistress Kendall is here." Vivian came forward and spoke politely.

As soon as Vivian finished her words, Emily chided Vivian, "Vivian, what sort of nonsense are you talking about? There is no young mistress in this room."

Vivian kept her head lowered and insisted, "Mrs. Coleman, Young Master Dylan has spoken and Miss Kendall is our young mistress. Everyone in the family has to treat her the same way we treat Young Master Dylan."

Vivian was the servant at the main house, but Dylan was the head of the family so his words were sacred to the entire family.

If she disobeyed Emily, she would receive a scolding from Emily. Disobeying Dylan's words would render her without a job and in deep sh*t as well. As such, Vivian chose to adhere to Dylan's instructions as that was the wiser solution out of the two.

"You!" Emily was significantly angered.

Meanwhile, Tilly calmly spoke up, "Vivian, get on with your chores."

After Vivian left, Tilly turned to Emily, "This is Dylan's instruction, so don't vent your anger on Vivian."

Emily glared furiously at Kendall while the other mistresses continued to scrutinize Kendall too. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen her for quite some time or it might have been due to some other reason, they somehow felt that she seemed much prettier than before.

Indeed, her aura had changed and she seemed to exude confidence. After all, a confident woman was the prettiest. They were quite jealous to realize that this niece-in-law from the countryside was allowed to break all of the rules of the family and do whatever she wanted.

Why was she allowed the liberty of all that but they on the other hand had to conform to the rules? They had to register and return the jewelry that they borrowed from the main warehouse. However, Dylan had apparently taken from the main warehouse two dozen hair accessories without registering anything and he had gifted them to Kendall.

Some of the mistresses glanced at the back of Kendall's head and noticed that the hair accessory she was using was the ones they had returned to the main warehouse after using them. At that moment, the jealousy within them grew and the ugly looks they shot at Kendall deepened.
