Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 1540

The old maid shifted with suspicion and asked in a low voice, “Has she been whispering many things in your ears since you were upset two days ago?” Madam Stockton seemed to have made the connection and was stunned.

The maid knew that Madam Stockton finally recognized what was happening at last. She sighed and expressed, “Madam, if my suspicions are correct, she is trying to drive a wedge between you and Ms. Sherry. She wants you two to claw at each other’s throats.”

Madam Stockton was puzzled by this. “Why is she doing that? I already dislike Sherry enough as is. I don’t need her help to dislike her more.”

Although it was true that things were becoming more amiable between her and Sherry over the last two days, she never said anything about completely opening herself up to Sherry either.

The old maid considered for a while then suggested, “Could she be doing this so you would be angered enough to try to drive Ms. Sherry out of the house?”

Madam Stockton was baffled by this suggestion.

She remained stunned for a long time, then she finally spoke, “That just might be it. Why else would she say all those things about Sherry otherwise?”

The maid sighed. “It seems like she’s very good at keeping up appearances but must have it out for Ms. Sherry deep inside.”

“Sherry never did anything to get on her nerves, so why would she do this?” Madam Stockton was puzzled.

The maid thought for a long time. At last, she spoke, “I think she’s worried about Ms. Sherry growing on you given the time. She’s the wife of the young master and that automatically places her in a higher position. If you’ve come to acknowledge her place in the family, that would easily make her the cadet of the family. If I had to guess, Ms. Weiss is worried about her position. It’s a power struggle all the way through.”
