The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1179

Addie frowned, "Don't sweat it. They're probably just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers."

"But even if they're just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers, it shows that she's really attractive."

"Hmph! What's so attractive about such a cold-hearted woman?" After saying this, Addie packed up the first-aid kit. "Wait here for a bit, I'll find you some clothes."

When it was time for lunch, Wendy came downstairs. The busy staff's eyes turned a bit strange at the sight of Wendy. Some even frowned, and their attitude towards Wendy turned cold.

It wasn't until Wendy was led to the dining room by Addie that a few of the staff began to chat.

"Is Wendy wearing Damon's clothes?"

"Exactly! I've seen Damon wearing it a few times, it's one of his most worn pieces."

"How did it end up on her?"

"Wendy not only took Damon's room, but she's also wearing his clothes. Has she no shame?"

"I've seen it all now, there really are such shameless people in this world."

Their whispers reached Wendy and Addie's ears, causing Addie's face to turn green.

"These gossipy servants! I'll show them!"

After saying this, Addie left Wendy.

"Addie..."

Wendy watched her retreating figure, although she was trying to stop her, she didn't actually pull her back.

"Watch your mouths, Wendy is our guest! If there's any more disrespect towards her, I will make you leave at once! The Harper family can't tolerate such impolite people!"

After Addie finished, the staff all lowered their heads, keeping their mouths shut. From the first day Addie was transferred from Hong Kong, she had been calling the shots here, giving them a show of strength right from the start.

The wages here were high, and even if they found other normal jobs, it wouldn't match half of what they earned here, so they could only swallow their anger at Addie's reprimanding.

At this time, Wendy came over, gently holding onto Addie's arm. "Addie, don't be like this, they haven't done anything to me, and they've been helping to take care of me. Don't scare them anymore. They're having a hard time too..."

Addie pursed her lips slightly, contemplated for a moment, then glared at them. "See that? Ms. Wendy is so considerate of you. She's the real victim here, she should have been treated better when she came back home! Now she has to recover from her injuries here, endure your ostracism and ridicule, and still speak up for you. How could you do that?

“Like all the things you just said, you're simply trying to tell them that Ms. Wendy is more respectable and worth following than Ms. Chloe. Regardless of who they choose, will their jobs won't change?"

"What..."

"Ms. Wendy, the master is waiting for you to have lunch." Before Addie could finish, Marina turned to Wendy.

Wendy frowned at Marina, then gave a small laugh. "It seems Marina is a wise person. Her words make a lot of sense."

Seeing this, Addie's face turned sour, had Wendy taken a liking to Marina?

"But Marina, Addie was just helping me vent, she didn't mean anything else. As for the competition between me and Ms. Chloe, it doesn't exist at all. I think you misunderstood."

Marina smiled openly, "Maybe, I may have been a bit excessive, I hope Addie doesn't mind."

In front of everyone, and with Wendy giving her an out, Addie just grunted in response, then led Wendy towards the dining room.

It wasn't until they were completely out of sight that the others gathered together.
