Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine a Damon with personalities like Elizabeth would look like!
As she walked through the door of the villa, the housekeepers in the living room all turned their heads to look at her. It was Marina, who had always been in charge here, who first greeted her.
"Is that you, Chloe?"
Chloe Summers smiled and nodded. Before she could speak, Elizabeth immediately came over and grabbed her wrist.
"Oh my gosh, you're finally back, I've been driven up the wall by these people."
Elizabeth complained as she pulled Chloe down onto the sofa. She pointed to the two people in front of her.
"No need to introduce Marina, who's always been in charge of the Harper family in P City. This is Addie, who just came from Hong Kong. She used to serve Presley. Presley has been raving about her since he came back, so I had her come over! Addie, this is Chloe, Damon's future wife."
Addie glanced at Chloe, smiled politely, but then said, "Mrs. Harper, when you told us to come back, didn't you say that Damon would be too busy with his engagement? The wedding isn't even set yet, isn't it a bit early to be calling Chloe Mrs. Harper?"
Addie, who had been a servant for the Harper family her entire life, had managed the Harper family perfectly and had earned Presley's trust. She had always been managing the servants, and over time, she had developed a sense of superiority and arrogance.
Hearing Addie say this, Chloe raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.
Elizabeth wanted to say something, but Chloe grabbed her hand. Then she looked up at Addie and said, "It's just a title. If Addie doesn't want to use it, she doesn't have to, it's okay."
After hearing this, Addie couldn't help but look at Chloe again and laughed. "Ms. Chloe, you're taking it too seriously. It's only a matter of time before you and Damon get married. Wouldn't it be nice if we all called you 'Mrs. Harper' together when you're married?"
Chloe nodded, her smile faint. "That sounds nice."
Seeing Chloe appear humble and polite, easy to get along with, Addie also breathed a sigh of relief, chuckled twice, and said, "I hope Ms. Chloe won't mind, I've been a servant for so long, I'm a bit old-fashioned and used to following the rules. If I've stepped over the line, I hope you can be understanding."
Chloe's eyes flickered with sharp wisdom. She made a quick analysis of Addie, but her face remained a gentle and harmless smile. "It depends on how I feel."
Addie's face stiffened. She thought Chloe would continue to appease her, but instead, she suddenly said something so straightforward, leaving Addie at a loss and somewhat displeased, "Everyone makes mistakes. If we nitpick every time, it won't look good…"
"Addie." Chloe calmly cut Addie off, her face no longer bearing the smile it had just moments ago.
"If you define yourself as an old-fashioned servant, then you should act like one. You all can make mistakes, can't I get angry? Throughout history, there has never been a rule that a master has to tiptoe around their servants, right?"
Addie gave a stiff smile.
Seeing that Wendy remembered her, Addie was even happier. However, Elizabeth was icy cold. She didn't choose to stay home and manage the household affairs back in the day, and it seemed like a mistake now.
It even made some people forget that they were servants. Now Addie walked in the door and wanted to assert authority!
"Elizabeth, what's wrong? The atmosphere was strange."
"Why are you here?"
There was no warmth in her voice as usual, it was freezing cold. Addie's heartbeat suddenly quickened. Why did Mrs. Elizabeth suddenly treat Ms. Alonso like this?
Wendy's face froze for a moment, and she glanced at Addie next to her, her voice filled with a hint of grievance, "...My mom called me and said someone from Hong Kong would be coming today, and she asked me to come over and help you arrange things."
"It's the thought that counts. But we have Chloe at home. If anyone needs to help out, it should be her!"
Wendy's face turned even paler, "I'm worried that Chloe and Addie aren't that familiar with each other, afraid there might be some misunderstandings..."
"So what if there are misunderstandings? They're just a few servants! What's there to fuss about?"
