At the Smith residence, ever since Nellie and her two kids returned last night, Nellie had locked herself in her room, refusing to see anyone. Even the maids who brought her meals were sent away with harsh words.

Zeke and Winona also realized that they had nothing left but the Smith family, so they had no right to act out. They stayed in their rooms until Jason called for them to come down, saying that Dennis had returned and wanted to see them.

Jason stood at Nellie’s door, staring at it, lost in thought, his eyes filled with complexity. After a while, he raised his hand to knock but Nellie yelled at him from inside, “Get lost, all of you!

Jason sighed softly, his voice gentle while he said, “Ms. Smith, come out now. Mr. Smith is back. If you don’t come out, he’ll come up himself

Jason noticed Nellie’s undisguised disgust. He suppressed the sourness; he had been used to it by now. Nellie was from wealthy family, while he was just the son of a driver. If it weren’t for his striving to improve his social status, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to speak to Nellie today.

Jason bowed respectfully, very humble. “Ms. Smith, Mr. Smith is downstairs. He wants to meet you, Mr. Chambers, and Ms. Chambers downstairs.”

Nellie snorted coldly; she was domineering and haughty whenever she was back with the Smith family. Over the years, she only pretended to be nice and considerate in front of Zachary. In front of Jason, she didn’t bother to act. Nellie waved her hand impatiently. “Got it. I’ll tidy up and be right down.”

Nellie was still a bit afraid of her father, so she softened her tone toward Jason since her father still trusted him after all these years. Jason, if my dad…”

Before Nellie could finish her sentence, Jason knew what she meant and quickly assured her, “I understand, Ms. Smith. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
