Chapter 1991Chapter 1991 Closing The Distance
After the call ended, Kaylee fiddled with the necklace she always wore.
The venomous insect was hidden inside this.
Originally, she was looking for an opportunity to slip it into Gareth’s body.
That was also why she was so concerned about whether Gareth had been injured before.
The venomous insects were very fragile, but if they encountered a wound, they could sense the smell
of blood.
Hence, there was no need to exert much effort.
However, she reckoned getting close to Gareth would still be a problem.
Perhaps that person was right. Julia was the one she should be targeting.
Kaylee tightly gripped the necklace in her hand.
In fact, it was not just a necklace, but also her trump card to defeat Elisa, and, perhaps, her future….
novelbinLunchtime was the best opportunity for her.
Elisa, Gareth, and Bella were all absent, leaving only Julia by herself.
If not now, when would be the right time for me to get close?
Hence, Kaylee got dressed neatly and applied some makeup but deliberately did not cover up her
complexion, nor did she put on lipstick. All this was done to show her frail side.It would also make Julia feel awkward to kick her out.
At noon, in the dining room, even though Julia was the only one eating, there was still a balanced
spread of over a dozen dishes.
That was perhaps the reason why Kaylee was willing to put in so much effort and time to marry into the
prominent family.
Maria was the first to notice Kaylee, her expression somewhat displeased as she coughed twice.
Julia lifted her gaze, and just then, she saw Kaylee.
Looking elegant and indifferent, Julia simply said in a nonchalant tone, “Ms. Knapp, you’re awake.”
Kaylee nodded, walking somewhat unsteadily until she reached in front of Julia.
“I’m sorry, Madam Smith, for causing you trouble,” Kaylee said, looking truly regretful and self-
reproachful. As she spoke, her head dropped, no longer looking at Julia.
Or perhaps it was more accurate to say she didn’t dare to look at her.
That was because Julia’s eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through everything.
Kaylee couldn’t help but always feel like any little scheme one had would be exposed when it came to
1/2
Julia, giving other people an immense sense of oppression.
Julia put down her cutleries, and immediately, someone handed her a towel to wipe her mouth and
hands, along with some water to rinse her mouth.After she finished cleaning up, she finally spoke. “It’s no trouble at all. Having an extra pair of cutleries
at home is not a big deal. However…” Julia changed her tone. “I’m just wondering, Ms. Knapp, how
long do you plan on staying here? Is it going to be a long stay or a short one?”
Kaylee could only feel her face burning up at that point.
The implication in Julia’s words seemed to treat her more like a random stray that needed a place to
stay rather than a human being.
Since that was the case, there was no need for Julia to consider the other woman’s feelings or
thoughts…
Moreover, although Julia verbally insisted she wasn’t chasing anyone away, and there wasn’t a hint of
impatience in her words, she had managed to thoroughly humiliate Kaylee in a subtle, unspoken way.
Kaylee really found it hard to speak for a moment.
However, thinking of the words spoken by the mysterious person, she felt like her bright future was just
a month away.
Therefore, she decided to put up with it all.
Kaylee responded, “Madam Smith, I have a request. I’d like it if you’d allow me to stay and keep you
company.”
Julia didn’t expect Kaylee to be so straightforward, and she didn’t immediately reject the idea. Instead,
she expressed her curiosity, “What’s your purpose for staying? To keep me company, or do you have
another motive?”
Julia’s words were quite blunt, leaving Kaylee feeling quite awkward for a moment.Nonetheless, she bit the bullet.
“Of course, to accompany you, Madam Smith. Initially, I thought about going back to work at the
company. But as you can see, it might not be the best fit for me… and they don’t seem too keen on
having me back.”
Kaylee expressed herself very clearly and elegantly that she was not liked by Elisa.
