NovelEnglishFrom a distance, Louisa could see Steward hopping up and down with excitement, waving frantically at her and shouting with an
ecstatic voice, "Madam, we're back, please help us open the door!"
Surely if it was Madam who opened the door, Ms. Bella wouldn't have any grounds for complaint, right?
Louisa was puzzled. Why was Steward acting more thrilled to see her than if he had found a lifeline?
"Why aren't you guys going in? Didn't you say that the youngest just had surgery?" As Louisa approached, she noticed that the
front gate was bolted shut, and the security guard in the booth seemed to be engrossed in his smartphone.
No doubt the youngest had forgotten his keys, called for the guard who didn't hear, so they couldn't get in.
"Why didn't you call me?" Louisa asked, then went over to knock on the security booth's door, "Did Sean chand not even
think to unlock the door? It's freezing out here."
"Madam." the guard opened up, saluted with a bow, and said with a helpless expression, "It's not that | didn't open the door for

"Why not?" Louisa was taken aback and looked towards Sean and Steward, who both wore expressions of guilty silence. Had these
two somehow upset Bella?
But they had just returned; when could they have possibly angered Bella? Had they run into her on the way, or had they done
something elsewhere to provoke her?
"What on earth happened?" Louisa pressed the guard for an answer.
"Well, earlier, Ms. Bella was at the gate talking to Sean. Then she got angry." The guard didn't dare to say what Sean did to upset
Ms. Bella, merely adding, "Ms. Bella orderedto keep the gate shut, saying if either of them dared to enter, | was to 'take them
down'."
Louisa was shocked by the severity of the situation.
"Madam, it's all a misunderstanding."
Before Steward could finish explaining, he saw Madam reaching for a stun baton inside the booth, which made him quickly hide
behind Sean, whispering, "Sean, is it too late to ask for leave? | need to be hfor the family dinner on New Year's."
Louisa's wrath was something to be feared, something even her husband couldn't contain.
"You two, not coming hfor half a year is one thing, but you made Bella this upset." Louisa then turned to the guard, "Aren't
you going to open the gate? I'll teach them a lesson."
They hadn't even made it inside and had already managed to infuriate their sister.
Knowing Bella's gentle nature, Louisa knew it must have been something egregious they did to enrage her like this.
The guard, not wishing to displease Louisa, quickly pressed the button to open the gate, which slowly began to swing open.
In this household, Ms. Bella was the top priority, which surely placed Louisa a close second.

He wouldn't dare cross Madam's wishes.
Steward's eyes widened in disbelief at how unreliable the guard was, not only failing to shield them from Madam but actually
fueling the fire by opening the gate for her.
As soon as the gate opened, Louisa charged at Sean with the baton.
Even though she hadn't turned on the electricity, the blow from the stick would definitely hurt.
"Madam, please calm down, Sean's got injuries, you can't hit him."
Steward's plea was cut short as he took the hit meant for Sean. In his haste to shield Sean, he hadn't anticipated Louisa's strength.
He yelped in pain, lamenting that Louisa's recent hearty meals had significantly boosted her arm strength.
Seeing she had struck the wrong person, Louisa stopped, looking at Sean with a mix of irritation and concern, "If Bella wanted you
to stand out here, then you'll stay until she cools off. Close the gate!"
"Hey, Madam, listen." Steward began, wanting to say he didn't mind, but he thought they should at least let Sean in. After all, Sean
had been standing out there for quite a while.
