Extreme Disparity
So she had cut off her connections with the outside world. What she saw every day is nothing more
than the nonsensical stuff on her mobile phone. She knew nothing about what had happened in the
company
“My father hasn‘t come to visit me recently.”
She seemed to ask this question casually, but she could see a clear tinge of impatience in Martha‘s
expression. Martha continued immediately, “he has to deal with more things in the company. So I‘m
afraid he doesn‘t have time to see you.”
Angela frowned again while Martha sighed and said, “there are still many issues in the company to deal
with. Besides, Gloria is not as calm and obedient as before. Many people still support Gloria. Your
father is also very busy and plagued by the events in the company. He really didn‘t have time to see
you.”
Martha worried that Angela might be affected if she told her the truth. After all, even if Angela didn‘t go
crazy this time, she would be on the verge of going crazy.
Angela frowned again. She said, “So that‘s what you were upset about.”
“That‘s right.” Martha signed helplessly.
Angela stared at her carefully and she noticed something was wrong.
Mother‘s expression looked quite strange.
Just when she was about to say something, someone knocked on the door of her room.
“Madam, Mrs. Collins is here. She says she wants to see our young miss.”
Angela and Martha were both shocked at that moment. They looked at each other incredibly.
How could she come here?
Is she here to poke into the situation again?
But soon there was a tinge of guilt flashing across Martha‘s eyes. She immediately said to the maid,
“Tell her that Angela has already gone to bed and tell her that she won‘t be receiving guests – recently.”
With this, Martha rose directly and said, “Maybe the Collins family is plotting against something again.
It‘s better for us not to see ther.”
“But didn‘t you want to see what they were up to?” retorted Angela. An alert stare flashed across her
eyes.
Martha answered her immediately, “there‘s no need to see her. But maybe I‘ll meet her later. You
may have a rest now.”
After saying that, Martha quickly got up and left the room.
Seeing Martha‘s figure leaving her room, Angela pondered thoughtfully.
She was clear that her mother was in a bad mood that day. Besides, she had noticed the guilty look on
her mother‘s face when they heard that Olivia came to visit.
Why is she acting like that?
Will this have any connections to what happens to father?
What on earth did they do and didn‘t want me to know? Angela grew uncertain and nervous about this.
But she was still puzzled:
Martha left the room quickly.
Martha wanted to see what the visitor was up to and also wanted to know whether someone had
discovered who let out the secrets of Mr. Collins‘ company.
If the rumors continued to brew, it would do severe harm to the Collins family.
Although Martha knew she must not admit anything, she still needed to find out what happened indeed.
Thinking about this, Martha walked out. Seeing Olivia sitting on a chair in the corridor, Martha couldn‘t
help being jealous. She just couldn‘t neglect the extreme disparity between the two of them, both being
a lady marrying into a wealthy family. She thought even if they stood together, others would only come
to greet Mrs. Scott rather than her. No one would care about her.
Olivia turned her head and saw Martha.
“You‘re here.” Olivia sounded indifferent. She didn‘t sound as friendly as she once was.
Martha took a breath, trying to control her emotions. Then she nodded to Oliyia.
“Why would you suddenly come to visit my daughter? Did anything happen?”
