Chapter 82: I’m Selfish?

“I see your point, Nnenna,” she said, her voice smooth but laced with an undertone of irritation.

“The servants should indeed perform their duties, including taking care of your sister.

However,” she added, her eyes narrowing slightly, “as her sister, it is still your responsibility to occasionally check on her.

“Selfish?” Nnenna echoed, her tone light but with a sharp edge that made everyone at the table pay attention.
