Seeing the way Waylon stood up for her, Natalie found herself growing more attached to her parents.
When Juliana cin, she hadn't noticed Waylon in the room. Thinking only Natalie was there, she had
carelessly spoken those words.
Now, Waylon’s stern response left her feeling embarrassed.
“Mr. Stone, | didn’t mean it like that. | was just asking casually.”
“You'd better be clear about who you are,” Waylon snapped. “Ask what's appropriate, and don’t ask what isn’t.
Don’t think that just because you've worked in this family for more than twenty years, you can speak to my
daughter that way!”
His expression didn’t soften in the least.
He hadn't intended to bring Juliana along in the first place. She had insisted on coming, and he hadn't objected
since she had indeed been by Ruby's side for so many years. But her words just now made him very
uncomfortable.
This was his daughter-the one they had finally found after so long. He and his wife couldn't bear to say a harsh
word to Natalie, yet Juliana had the nerve to question whether Natalie should be at home.
It hit Waylon then that the special treatment they'd given Juliana all these years had blurred her sense of her
own place.
Juliana’s face turned pale, then flushed, her hands clenched tight. She looked as if she'd suffered sgreat
injustice but was forced to swallow it, which only made Natalie frown slightly.
From the very first meeting, Natalie had sensed a subtle hostility from Juliana.
At first, she thought she was overthinking. But that remark had made it plain-Juliana didn’t like her.
The strange thing was, she had never dealt with Juliana before, nor had they ever crossed paths over interests.

Natalie found it curious.
Juliana bit her lip, bowed to Natalie, and said, “I spoke out of turn just now. I'm sorry. Please

Her eyes were already brimming with tears, making her look like a mistreated daughter-in- law.
At that moment, Ruby cout, having set Susic down.
“What's going on?”
Ruby and Juliana had always had a good relationship.
Before Waylon or Natalie could say anything, Juliana burst into tears.
“Madam, maybe | really am getting old and unwanted. You and Mr. Stone didn’t bringalong, but | came
anyway to look after you. That was my mistake. I'll pack up tonight and leave, so | won't make anyone
uncomfortable anymore.”
She sniffled, acting as though she had suffered greatly.
Ruby frowned.
She looked around, seeing her husband with a thunderous face and her daughter calm and detached. Natalie
hadn’t said anything, but Ruby’s heart sank all the more for that silence.
“Natalie, did something happen? Did Juliana do something wrong?”
Before Natalie could answer, Waylon tugged Ruby’s arm.
“It’s not about Natalie. Why don’t you ask your beloved housekeeper what she said the moment she walked in?”
Ruby’s expression immediately hardened when she realized Juliana’s words had been aimed at Natalie.
“Juliana, what exactly did you say to Natalie?”
Caught off guard, Juliana froze.
In the past, no matter the situation, as long as she cried and acted hurt, Ruby would always take her side first.
Why was it different now?
Her heart felt bitter.
“It was my fault,” Juliana admitted. “I'd just cback from buying groceries and saw Miss Natalie sitting on the
sofa. | casually asked why Madam was at home. Mr. Stone got angry and

At that. Natalic finally understood what had been wrong.
Pretentious. That was the word.
This was her own home. She could sit there whenever she pleased. Since when did she need to answer to the
housekeeper?
Was this her house, or Juliana’s?
She didn’t voice her thoughts, only looked at Ruby instead.
She wanted to see how her mother would handle it.
