“Tillie, who are you accusing of being freeloaders? This is the Cooper residence, not the Zander home!” Violet hissed.
Tillie sneered, “You’re right. This is the Cooper residence. It’s fine if you don’t like to see me here. I’ll just get a place outside and move out with Edmund. And then, you can have this place all to yourselves.”
The three women were speechless upon hearing that.
Tillie then continued, “But, we will no longer pay for your expenses. Even though I’m younger than the lot of you, I make my living with my own two hands. But what about you? Do you plan on depending on Edmund for the rest of your lives? I’m sorry, but Edmund and I plan to have kids. Also, I need to take care of my parents too. Considering our heavy commitments, there’s no way we can bear the expenses of two young and able-bodied persons.”
Glaring at the two sisters, she informed them of her final decision.
In truth, she had been respectful by not calling them scum.
Just as expected, the sisters were outraged at Tillie’s words. Staring daggers at her, they looked as if they were about to kill her.
Luckily for Tillie, they didn’t dare do so because she had made her stance clear to them.
If they didn’t start finding work, they would end up going hungry.
Half an hour later, Alice left home without even having breakfast. She was planning to find something to do.
However, Violet was still refusing to leave, and that made Tillie warn her again.
“Violet, you, of all people, shouldn’t even be in the Cooper residence. After what you have done, Dad would’ve disowned you and kicked you out of the house if he was still around. I really don’t understand how you can still stay here with such a defiant attitude.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Within a split second, Violet felt as if she was about to burst a vessel.
“Tillie, I’m going to kill you!”
With a sharp gaze and a smirk on her face, Tillie sniggered at Violet. “Go ahead, but you had better remember that neither my parents nor Edmund will let you go. Therefore, once you kill me, you will no longer have a home to return to!”
Finally, Violet’s face turned pale after hearing Tillie’s threat.
In truth, she was no match for Tillie from the very beginning.
After all, despite her ordinary looks, Tillie wasn’t the kind that freeloaded on her family. Instead, her mediocre looks motivated her to work harder than any other daughter of prominent families.
In the event her looks came up short, she hoped to achieve success through her talent and capabilities.
Consequently, the Cooper sisters were forced by Tillie to go out and find a job. As for Gabriella, she dared not utter a single word of protest.
When word of the incident reached the hospital, Sabrina was extremely shocked.
“Is Tillie really that capable?”
When Sigrith saw that Sabrina was unconvinced, she poured her a bowl of soup and explained with a smile, “She is. Remember Mabel, who often keeps in contact with her? Tillie called her today and personally told her about it. In fact, she barely made any sense on the call. Considering how frightened she was after the fact, she had evidently gathered tremendous courage to do it.”
Sabrina couldn’t help but laugh when the image of the usually meek Tillie admonishing the two sisters was conjured up in her mind.
Indeed, it must have been tough on her.
“Nevertheless, this will actually do the Coopers some good.”
“Of course. Everyone in Jadeborough knows how lazy and bad-tempered those two sisters are. Haven’t you noticed that no one has ever asked them for their hand in marriage after so many years?” Sigrith scoffed.
Just when both of them were chatting in the ward, Tillie suddenly arrived with some health supplements.
“Ms. Sabrina, good morning.”
“Good morning!”
Sabrina’s eyes lit up when she saw Tillie.
“What a pleasant surprise! You shouldn’t have brought me anything.”
“Well, I just came from my Grandma’s. On the way here, I bought some health supplements that hopefully can help your condition a little,” Tillie explained shyly after placing the supplements on the table.
Although Sabrina didn’t know much about supplements, she could recognize that Tillie had carefully curated them instead of buying a random gift pack.
Therefore, it was obvious to her that Tillie had thoughtfully selected the supplements herself.
“Thank you, Mrs. Cooper. I appreciate the thought.”
“Not at all.” Tillie blushed at the praise. Even Sigrith’s heart was warmed at that sight.
After chatting for a while, they assumed Tillie would leave.
Unexpectedly, she continued to stay in the ward even after Sigrith had returned from refilling water outside.
“Mrs. Cooper, are you busy with anything? If not, I would like to return to Red Pavilion for a while, as I still have something cooking on the stove.”
“Of course, Sigrith. Go on ahead. I’ll stay here with Ms. Sabrina.”
