The new cake was finally ready.

However, Hattie didn't call them down to eat it; she stayed downstairs silently.

A servant mentioned that the cake had been ready for a while.

Niall asked, "Why didn't you bring it up earlier?"

Hattie said, "Mr. White, I told them not to. I saw you all were busy."

Violeta, sitting at the dining table while eating her food, remarked, "Were you waiting because you saw my brother was busy, or because you wanted to stay here longer?"

Violeta ate a small piece of steak, blinked, and said sarcastically, "Oh, then why did you come? Who invited you?"

Hattie gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap Violeta's smug face.

Niall intervened, "Alright, Vio. That's enough."

Violeta knew Hattie still had more tricks up her sleeve, so she stayed quiet.
