Chapter 111
111 Ch. 111 Anxia vs Quinn
Anxia tried not to be rude to Quinn, recalling this annoying lady was, after all, Richard’scousin. She didn’t want to further her husband’s anger by offending this lady, so Anxia suppressed her ego and was friendly to her.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t someone to let people look down on her like that without a fight.
“What a coincidence. I’m also looking for Richard. Maybe we can look for him together in his study room.” Anxia purposely used the common language, inviting a deadly glare from the other woman.
Anxia didn’t want to wait for the woman’s reaction, who would surely scold her for pretending she couldn’t speak a common language, and walked away, which further fueled Quinn’s fire of anger.
By the time they arrived at Richard’s room, Anxia opened the door and went inside without waiting for Quinn as if she were the place’s hostess.
Quinn expected the maid would stand aside after opening the door to let the master enter the room first. But this new uneducated maid went inside ahead of her instead!
“How unmannerly! Are you not afraid I will report this matter to your master?” Quinn still used her signature gentle tone when questioning Anxia.
She had trained to control her emotions and still act as usual in the presence of strangers. So it wasn’t difficult for her to speak in a super gentle tone as if she was worried about Anxia, even though she hated the maid and wanted to teach that girl a lesson.
Anxia herself was also not an ordinary girl. She was a ruthless assassin and sadistic interrogator, so she could distinguish between fake and genuine tones. Not to mention, she had a keen instinct that she knew that this lady wasn’t gentle as she showed.
.....
“Which master are you referring to? I recall I didn’t have a master when I was brought here.”
“And who brought you here?”
“My beloved husband.”
“Husband? Ah, now I get it. You are the butler’s new wife, and it seems you don’t know the rules here.”
The butler’s new wife? That expressionless old man with no wife? How stupid could this lady be? Anxia found this development rather amusing and wanted to see the lady ridicule herself more and more.
“Since you are new, I will explain it.” Quinn walked over to Anxia, ??then sat beside her as if she was a good friend who wanted to help Anxia.
Anxia laughed inside at the fake kindness and wondered if this lady was really her husband’s cousin. She had no idea that her husband had such a two-faced cousin.
Instead of taking it as an offense, Anxia decided to play along with the woman’s game.
“That’s right; I’m new here. What kind of rules are there?”
“When you decide to work here, you must not disobey your employer’s orders. You can’t run away once it’s discovered you’ve been a traitor. The only way in and out of this place is via helicopter or boat. I’m sure your husband has already told you about this.”
“Yes, I understand there is no way to escape from this island other than by helicopter.” Anxia understood this the most as she had felt it beforehand to the point she decided to kill Richard.
“That’s why you must not argue and be impudent towards your master.”
“I understand. But you are not my master.” Anxia replied bluntly and held back her laughter when she saw the gleam of surprise adorn Quinn’s eyes.
If someone else could hear her inner voice, that person would be able to hear her sneer, which was similar to Lucifer’s. She laughed at Quinn’s epic expression.
“I’m not your master directly. But I am a distinguished guest here.”
“Distinguish guest?” Anxia deliberately asked with a confused expression while tilting her head.
“Furthermore, I’ll soon be your master.”
Oh? Does this mean that soon Lady Q will become the daughter-in-law of the Calvin family?
But as Anxia recalled, Stanley only had two sons, and Raymond had married and settled in the states while Richard had married her. Then who else would this beautiful lady marry?
“You’re new here, so I’ll tell you. I’m Richard Calvin’s fiancé, and we’re going to get married someday.”
WHAT THE HELL!?
Instantly Anxia’s feelings became uneasy, and she failed to hide her real expression. It was Quinn’s turn to rejoice inwardly when she saw the frightened reaction from Anxia.
In fact, it wasn’t an expression of fear from Anxia because nothing in this world could scare her. In earlier moments, fear had indeed filled her heart as she was worried Richard would hate her and no longer be interested in her.
But after hearing Quinn’s sudden announcement, her worry was gone and replaced by a fit of anger. She felt betrayed and no longer cared if Richard would hate her.
Really! Why did Richard force her to marry him if he already had this gorgeous fiance? She took off guard once in front of this cunning lady, but Anxia regained her composure not long after.
“I heard that Master Richard has married someone else. Are you sure you are her fiancé?”
“Ha ha ha. Do you believe in the rumors? When I came here last week and heard the rumors, I couldn’t believe it. So I returned to the country to check it out. And it turns out the rumors were proven false. In the records of the Dutch government, Richard’s status is still single and unmarried.”
What? So Richard lied to her all this time?
Anxia felt her head spinning hearing this. She remembered she had signed the marriage form and registered it with the government. They even got their official marriage certificate, proving they are a newly married couple. How could Richard’s status remain as a single man?
Bang!
Suddenly the study door opened, and a towering handsome man who had wed her by threatening her appeared.
Richard shuddered when he saw his wife glaring at him as if trying to kill him again. The chilly feeling on his spine was not because he feared death but because he was scared that Anxia would close her heart again.
