Chapter 384
Sheila’s face revealed a smug grin when she saw Devin looking shocked and emphasized again,
“That’s right, just as you heard, I’m the real Mrs. Blanchet here! You lot of servants should obey my
commands!”
Devin, usually well–traveled and composed, couldn’t help but laugh in the face of Sheila’s
overwhelming confidence.
The few housemaids around also couldn’t help but chuckle.
Sheila wasn’t comfortable with their laughter. She frowned and glared, “Hey, what are you laughing at?
Everything I said is true!”
Devin managed to suppress his laughter, clear his throat, and regain his usual dignified and polite

“Sorry, if you’re still half–asleep today, there are a few guest rooms on the first floor of the Blanchet
family home. Maybe you can pick one and get some rest?”
‘You…”
Seeing that Devin didn’t give her the slightest face, Sheila felt both angry and helpless, “Hmph, I can’t
explain everything to you right now, and I don’t have time to mess with you clueless servants! Just wait;
you’ll regret this sooner or later!”
Devin and the servants around him didn’t feel at all pressured. They looked at her with a gaze that was
as tolerant as one might look at a madman.
Sheila gritted her teeth in anger, lifted her head, and glared at Ellinor on the second floor, who looked
indifferent.
“Ellinor, aren’t you coming down yet? How long do you want us to wait for you downstairs?!”
“Devin, you guys go on first! I can handle my ‘family‘ by myself.”
Ellinor leisurely walked down the stairs.
Devin was somewhat worried.
He felt that the members of Mrs. Blanchet’s family were not friendly or close to her. He was worried that
leaving Mrs. Blanchet alone to deal with them might get her bullied.
Seeing Devin’s concern, Ellinor smiled, “It’s okay, they can’t bully me.”
Devin then nodded.
He respectfully obeyed Ellinor’s words and led the servants away, leaving only a few maids waiting in
the living room.
With no one else in the way, Sheila walked up quickly, raising her hand to slap Ellinor, hoping to vent

Ellinor had already anticipated this; she accurately grabbed Sheila’s wrist, “Why do you want to hit
someone right after meeting? If others see how fierce you are, who would dare to marry you?”
Sheila couldn’t bring her hand down.
Of course, she didn’t care what Ellinor thought, but Ellinor’s words hit her where it hurt.
This was the Blanchet family, and if her rude behavior reached Mr. Blanchet, it might leave a bad
impression and affect their future marital harmony. So, it was best to maintain a ladylike image.
Thinking of this, Sheila decided to let Ellinor off for now and deal with her when the opportunity arose.
Sheila retracted her hand, disdainfully flicking it, “Dad’s waiting for you in the living room. He has
something to ask you! Get moving!”
