Chapter 20 Taken For A Maid

Amelia furrowed her brow. Then, she took out her cell phone and gave Cooper a call.

Once the call got through, Amelia snapped. “Cooper, what’s the big idea? Why did you shut my daughter out? Are you getting too old to do the butler job?”

On the other end of the phone, Cooper’s face hardened after his working abilities were doubted.

“Mrs. Hart, Mr. Lockwood has never suspected my working abilities,” he said, still in a polite tone, though with a tinge of caution.

Amelia threw a tantrum. “As expected, you’re frail! You should call me Madame Lockwood! Don’t forget I’m Mr. Lockwood’s aunt!”

When she was shouting, she emphasized the word “Lockwood.”

Cooper stayed calm.

Amelia’s husband’s surname was Hart, so it was only natural to call her Mrs. Hart.

The problem was that everyone wanted to be related to the Lockwood family. So even if they had absolutely nothing to do with the Lockwood family, they still wanted to make up a connection between them, let alone Amelia was indeed related to the Lockwood family.

She was a very distant relative, though. She almost had no blood connection with the Lockwood family.

Cooper stayed silent.

Cooper’s silence made Amelia think that Cooper finally understood Amelia’s standing.

She took a long breath. Then, looking at Sophia, who was outside the gate, she shouted in a fury, “My daughter was shut out, didn’t you hear? This is how you work? Do you think I dare not report this to Mr. Lockwood?”

Cooper explained in a calm tone, “Madame Lockwood, you just said that you came here to say hi to Mr. Lockwood. You didn’t mention anything about your daughter being with you.

“Therefore, your daughter has no right to enter Northernville Manor.”

After Amelia heard this, her face contorted. Then, in a fury, she vehemently thundered, “Cooper, you’re just a servant! How dare you talk to me like this!

“Do you know my father, Nathan Lockwood? Do you know how he died back then?

“He died saving the last chieftain!
