Love Together, Be With You Never

Chapter 110 Madame Charles

However, as soon as the elevator door opened, I heard others talk about the Matriarch in fear once

more.

"How terrifying the Matriarch is! She gave everyone a good scolding just now, even Mr. Charles!"

"I didn't dare to breathe when I saw her. I was afraid that she would fire me immediately if my breathing

isn’t in rhythm with hers!" Two female employees patted their chests in fear and said in the corridor,

without noticing me.

I wondered who the Matriarch they talked about was. Was it true that she dared to curse Kieran?

Just as I entered the office, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Surprisingly, all the employees

in the office began to work in panic, as if they were mice that were about to be caught by a cat.

Just as I was puzzled, a posh old lady walked in elegantly, supported by Everly. Behind her was a large

group of bodyguards in black. I instantly understood that she was probably the Matriarch that all the

employees were afraid of!

I wondered if it was my misconception, since she looked somewhat familiar. Had we met before?

In an instant, I denied myself. The old lady was richly dressed and looked regal. How could I know her

before? I would never encounter her even in the streets.

"Rachael, what are you doing? Hurry up and serve Madame Charles some tea!" Everly smiled and said

to me.

I looked at Everly and saw her speaking to the old lady with a smile, "Grandma, she is Rachael, Mr.

Charles' girlfriend!" Then she said to me, "Rachael, come over and pour some tea for Madame

Charles!"

I was shocked. Everly addressed the old lady, who surnamed Charles, as her grandmother. Was the

old lady Kieran's grandma?

I hurriedly poured the tea and brought it over, but I couldn't control myself from being panicked. Kieran

and I pretended to be a couple based on a contract. I didn't expect that I would see his family.

Moreover, his grandma looked terrifying. She definitely wouldn't like me.

Given Everly seemed to be on intimate terms with Madame Charles, she must have spoken ill of me

out of her hatred for me.

I could hardly imagine what would happen later!

Everly stared at me as I walked over. Just as I was about to serve up the tea, Everly tripped me up with

her foot.

There came a huge sound!

As the cup was broken into pieces, I also fell to the ground. Without hesitation, I got up from the ground

and apologized repeatedly.

"Rachael, what's wrong with you? You were late for work. And now you are being clumsy. You are Mr.

Charles' girlfriend. How could you be like this in front of grandma? She is old. What if you hurt her with

hot water?" Everly scolded me with an anxious expression, but I could tell she was complacent from

her eyes.

I knew that Everly tripped me on purpose. That was why I fell and smashed the cup. However, it was

too late when I realized it. Even if I said it was Everly's fault, no one would believe me. And Madame

Charles probably would take Everly’s side and be displeased with me.

Since I had had a quarrel with Kieran this morning, I couldn't afford to annoy his grandma again. What

if she went to Kieran and told him what happened?

Therefore, I let Everly complain without refuting one single word.

"Grandma, Mr. Charles is so good to Rachael. She doesn't need to work on time. Today, she arrived

just now. We know that she has a good relationship with Mr. Charles. However, others else will be

angry. They might feel unjust in the company and think Mr. Charles is fascinated by her and has no

mood to work!" Everly said as if she was joking. But I clearly knew that she did so to drag me through

dirt.

"That's too bad. The Matriarch values the company's regulations the most. What should Rachael do?"

"That's right. Rachael thinks Mr. Charles loves her and is always late. She deserves it. The Matriarch

will dismiss her!"

"The Matriarch hates slackers at work. Rachael will not only get fired. She is ugly! I think her

engagement ceremony two days later will also be cancelled."

"You are right! She is ill-looking. How dare she want to marry Mr. Charles? The Charles family is

extremely powerful. It's unbelievable. How could the Matriarch give consent to their marriage? If it's

time for Mr. Charles to get engaged, Ms. Everly is much better a choice than Rachael. In terms of both

her family and appearance, Ms. Everly is incomparable!"

I heard clearly what the people around me whispered. I used to argue with them. But I really didn't dare

to do anything now, just like at the beginning.

As Madame Charles looked around the office with her sharp and cold eyes, it became silent

immediately. Then, her gaze alighted on me, and I looked down in guilt.

Everly glanced at me arrogantly and smiled slightly. Then, she turned to Madame Charles and said in a

gentle voice, "Grandma, don't be angry. Since Mr. Charles wants to marry Rachael, she must have

merits we don't know!"

There came a crisp sound!

As soon as Everly finished speaking, Madame Charles gave her a bitter slap. I looked up in surprise. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Who are you? It's a domestic affair! What qualifications do you have to comment?" said Madame

Charles.

Everly covered her face and looked at Madame Charles in disbelief.

I was also shocked. Everyone who was present looked at her in astonishment. They never expected

that she would suddenly turn hostile and beat Everly.

Madame Charles narrowed her eyes and looked around. At last, she glared at Everly and said,

"Rachael is going to get engaged with Kieran and be my granddaughter-in-law. It has nothing to do with

you when she comes to work, okay? She will also be in charge of Universal Group. It doesn't matter

even if she doesn't work."

I suddenly opened my eyes wide and I couldn't believe what Madame Charles had said. Had she

helped me and slapped Everly?

How could that be?

All of a sudden, Madame Charles blinked at me.

She was the old lady who fell at the station!

The old lady I helped at the bus station occurred to me. I finally realized that she was Madame Charles.

At the station, she was dressed in tattered clothes, looking unkempt. But now, she was dressy and

imposing. That was why I didn't recognize her at the beginning.

So, it turned out that Madame Charles tested me at the bus stop on purpose. Since she didn't hate me,

she chose to do me a favor.

Madame Charles narrowed her eyes and stared at Everly. She said coldly, "Everly, I asked you to work

in Universal Group because you were sensible. But now, it seems that I made a mistake. I don't think

the position fits you anymore!"

"Grandma...." Everly shouted out in panic.
