Chapter 716
At this moment, over at the Phil family, Sharon was cleaning up East Court with the servants.
Sharon felt rather unwilling. She was not a servant, Why did they always get her to do this? However, she did not have to clean the area herself, Instead, she stood at the side and supervised the work like a butler.
She was very unhappy. “Didn’t we clean this place a few days ago?”
“Ms. Sharon,” the servant explained. “That was just a simple cleaning, Mr. Walter will be here in two days, so we have to clean the area more carefully.”
“Got it.” Sharon was impatient.
She crossed her arms and strolled around the various rooms. She noticed that there were items for females when she arrived at the master bedroom
on the second floor.
There were also two sets of toiletries in the bathroom.
Sharon was shocked. “Is Mr. Walter bringing a female companion over?”
At this moment, the butler came over and explained softly, “It’s not just the female companion. Mr. Walter will be bringing his wife with him.”
“He’s married?” Sharon became even more shocked. “Why was there no
news of it?”
The butler shook his head, not looking pleased. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He originally did not want to talk about his master’s family matters, but Sharon was obviously not very smart. Sharon might cause some trouble if he did not explain it clearly and she made wild guesses.
He said, “I heard that Mr. Walter likes his new wife very much, so he hurriedly registered his marriage. However, Mr. Joshua was not very happy about that. He feels that Mr. Walter hadn’t told him about the marriage in advance and has been angry with Mr. Walter.”

At this point, the butler reminded Sharon, “Ms. Sharon, remember this. Don’t mention Mr. Walter’s wife in front of Mr. Joshua.”
Sharon nodded.
She had yet to recover from her shock even after leaving East Court.
She thought, ‘Heavens, that was really shocking news.’
She walked to the front hall in a daze. A group of juniors was chatting and laughing there, and they hurriedly greeted Sharon when they saw her. “Sharon, you came at the right time. We were just discussing that we’ll send Ian’s wife an invitation at night for a gathering.
“Everyone can get to know each other so we won’t feel awkward when interacting with each other.”
Sharon did not usually interact much with the members of the Phil family and would not express her opinion even if she did. Thus, all she did was smile and nod as she replied, “You guys can make the decision.”
“That means you agree!” A pretty girl clapped and looked around, then suddenly said, “If that’s the case, let’s make it livelier and invite a few celebrities to liven up the gathering.”
Then, Lucia turned to Sharon. “Sharon, you’re familiar with celebrities. I’ll leave the matter of hiring celebrities to you. Um, there’s that person called Kelly Sebastian. She’s not bad. She sings and dances well.”
Sharon clenched her fists tightly to suppress the anger in her heart.
She wanted to hit the members of the Phil family when she heard their tone. They were treating celebrities as clowns for their amusement. However, she admitted that her mood had improved after she witnessed Lucia’s disrespect for Kelly.
Her mood did not improve much, however. She thought, ‘What does she mean by I’m familiar with celebrities?’
Sharon looked down and only agreed after a long while. “Sure.”
“Thank you, Sharon.” Lucia had a nonchalant tone. She ignored Sharon
after thanking her and continued chatting with the others.
Sharon stood there for a long time, feeling like an outsider.
She wanted to leave, but she did not know what to say. Lucia turned around again and said, “I almost forgot. Sharon, you should plan the other matters too, such as the food, accommodations, banquet hall, etc. It’ll be more convenient that way.”
“Um…” Sharon was anxious. She did not have that much time.
She still had many things to do at the old residence.
“What’s wrong?” Lucia looked at Sharon in surprise and disbelief. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to help?”
Although Sharon was ambitious, she was timid in the face of a true noble lady like Lucia. She explained meekly, “I’m willing to help, of course. It’s Just that I still have many things to do at the old residence. I…”
“Is there a lot?” Lucia did not think much of it. “Aren’t these what
matriarchs of aristocratic families should do?”
Speaking of this, she looked at Sharon with a faint smile. “Are you not capable enough and can’t handle it?”
Sharon was stunned.
Her face was burning red from the pain. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “Of course I can handle it. It’s just that I don’t know much about you guys, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to make the appropriate
arrangements.”
“That’s not a problem. We’re all family. We can just tell you what we like,” Lucia said as she looked at the other women. “Tell Sharon the styles we
like.”
All of them didn’t hold back. They started talking at once.
“I like Blue Enchantresses. The theme better has something to do with it.”
“Let’s set up a bigger stage. We can also get up and dance after the
celebrities finish performing and leave.”
“Also arrange for the rooms upstairs so we won’t have to come back if we stay up too late. We can just stay at the hotel.”
“I can’t drink. My eyes will be swollen the next morning if I drink at night.”
“So what if they’ll be swollen? Get Sharon to arrange for a therapist and makeup artist in advance. I guarantee that you’ll be beautiful the next morning.”
Lucia looked at Sharon after everyone finished speaking. “Do you remember everything?”
How could Sharon remember? Moreover, she was not a nanny. She was going to have to arrange everything for this group of people.
However, she could not bring herself to refuse. She could only smile. “I’ll remember.”
“Alright.” Lucia turned around and casually waved her hand. “Go and prepare then.”
She treated Sharon the same way she treated the servants and attendants.
Sharon was about to go crazy from anger. This was why she did not like to return to the Phil family. Everyone here looked down on her and disrespected her.
They treated her like and old maid and scolded her when they liked it, just because she came from a lowly background.
They often mocked her with a look that said, “You don’t even know how to
do this?”
Sharon felt that she was about to suffocate.
She forcibly suppressed her emotions and returned to her room, then cried wantonly when she reached the bedroom and there was no one
around.
She got up and washed her face after she finished crying.
Coincidentally, Louis returned and saw her swollen eyelids. “Why are your eyes swollen?”
Sharon was like a drowning person who saw a piece of driftwood when she saw Louis. She went forward to hug Louis’s waist and started crying.
“What’s the matter? Did someone bully you?”
Sharon felt aggrieved. “Lucia asked me to arrange a gathering and made
many requests.”
“Then make the arrangements.” Louis could not understand why Sharon was feeling so helpless.
Sharon looked up in shock. “They bullied me. Aren’t you going to do anything?”
Louis frowned. “You’re the second sister-in-law of the family. Can’t you help your sisters? Why are you making a mountain of a molehill?”
“You…” Sharon ran into the bathroom again.
Just as her tears fell, Lucia called and asked her to make arrangements quickly.
“Alright,” Sharon steadied her voice and replied.
She took a deep breath and began to contact the hotel. She also called the agency Kelly was in and spent some money to invite the girl group that Kelly was in before to sing and dance at the event.
She offered quite a high price, so the agency did not reject her.
At the same time, Kelly received an invitation personally written by Lucia. It read, “We’re having a small gathering, cousin-in-law. Please come.”
‘Cousin-in-law!’ Kelly thought.
She glanced at Ian, then stroked her chin and laughed foolishly.
She really liked this form of address.
