That day, when Susanne went to Maureen’s Kitchen for dinner, she had made inquiries and found out that the reason the grilled fish tasted so delicious and different from those which she had elsewhere was because Arielle had made modifications to the original recipe.
Even though Arielle had not tried the grilled fish prepared by Penelope, she did not want to go against Susanne’s wishes and agreed to her mother-in-law’s suggestion with a nod. “All right, I’ll need about twenty minutes to prepare it.”
“Sure!” Susanne answered and looked toward Penelope with disdain. “You can come along and watch. Useless people are not welcomed here. If you want to stay, you need to have some contributions to the household. In the future, you shall be in charge of the kitchen and cleanliness of the first floor.”
Sensing that Susanne was treating her like a servant, Penelope’s expression stiffened and had trouble maintaining the fake smile on her face. Her intention was not to become a servant of the household but Vinson’s woman instead, living comfortably and enjoying a life of luxury.
“Mr. Nightshire…” Penelope looked at the man with pleading eyes, looking all vulnerable and fragile.
