"Miss Dior!" A servant rushed in and exclaimed, "Helen has been slapped!"

Rose was trimming the branches of her peony flowers. When she heard that, she paused. There was no expression on her well- maintained face as she asked, "Who did it?"

Helen was her servant; it would be an indirect insult to Rose if someone attacked her servant. Who dared to provoke her?!

Rose was overly favored by Mrs. Bishop; thus she had always been arrogant in the family. Even the head of the family had to respectfully address her as "sister". Over time, she was no longer regarded as an outsider, and no one dared to offend her.

The servant replied, "Helen said it was Miss Bishop."

Rose frowned; disgust evident on her face. "Sara Martin" She asked.

The servant nodded and answered, "Yes."

Rose crushed the flower in her hand and scolded, "This little b*tch... How dare she make a move on my servant, when she can't even settle down in the hands of that evil Hank?"

She placed the scissors in her hand down with force, then wiped her fingers with a handkerchief. "Tell Helen to come here!" Rose ordered.

The servant hurriedly acted in accordance.

Even Rose herself was stunned when she laid her eyes on Helen's swollen face.

Helen cried out, "Miss Dior! You have to help me! Miss Martin was being too unreasonable!"

"Why did she hit you?" Rose asked.

Helen answered, "I was just tidying things up in the waterside pavilion together with a few other servants. When Miss Bishop passed by, she asked if I was your servant... Of course, I said yes. I didn't expect her to immediately slapped me, and she also mentioned that you humiliated her today. I'm sure that she didn't dare to confront you, that's why... she came at me instead..."

Rose was burning with fury as she listened. "She did this to your face?!" She spat.

"I haven't done anything to this little b*tch yet. I said only a few words and she has the guts to hit my servant?!" She thought angrily.

Helen sobbed and said, "No... Miss Martin ordered others to hit me..."

Rose slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "This is ridiculous! I'm going to put this little b*tch in her place today! She thinks that she's superior just because she is at Helen's side..."

Helen felt an immense gratitude. "Thank you for helping me, Miss Dior! Thank you, Miss Dior!" She said.

On the surface, she was crying tears of appreciation; however, her heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. "Sara Martin, I can't beat you, but don't forget there's always someone who can!" She thought.

Helen was aware that Rose had an inexplicable hostility against Sara. She had only wanted to give it a try initially, but who knew she actually succeeded.

She couldn't wait to see Sara kneel down and beg for mercy! To see her lose her arrogance and her audaciousness!

Then, Rose said, "Follow me to see Mrs. Bishop!"

Helen quickly responded, "Yes!"

"There's no need to do that." Someone said unhurriedly. Seeing who was coming, Rose was confounded.

"Assistant? What can I do for you?" Rose asked.

Bella smiled at her and said, "Nothing much."

When Helen saw Bella, her body shuddered in reflex out of fear. She tried to remain inconspicuous.

Bella took a slow look at Helen and asked,

"Judging by your face, it must be painful?"

Helen was so scared that she almost cried. "No... It doesn't hurt." She answered in fright.

Rose looked at Bella suspiciously. She did not dare to offend the man, so she could only ask with care, "Assistant... if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Bella answered swiftly, he found a seat for himself and continued, "I'm here because Master Bishop has a message for you."

Rose didn't dare to put on her attitude as Miss Dior of the Bishop family in front of Bella, she just stood there. Upon hearing Hank's name, she broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "...What message?"

Bella said with a smiling expression, "A common moth will never blossom into a butterfly. Miss Dior, have you received too much flattery these years and started to think yourself as the Bishop family's daughter... as if you are really a sister to Master Bishop?"

Rose panicked and she clutched at the hem of her shirt tightly. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Bella replied, "Exactly what you means." think it Still smiling, he said, "Master Bishop would like to remind you, Miss Dior, not to regard yourself as a member of the Bishop family. He had not bothered you not because he couldn't, but he was just too lazy to do so. Even if Mrs. Bishop has your back, you are still an outsider living under someone else's shelter. Please don't forget that you're a Dior. If what happened today occur again, I'm afraid I would not simply bring a warning with me."

Rose face turned pale. The humiliation made her almost unable to lift her head up, but she dared not to refute and could not refute. She could only take a deep breath and asked, "What have I done to offend Master Bishop?"

"In the lobby today, Miss Dior, you said that Miss Martin is merely a servant." Bella's voice went cold. "Master Bishop is very unhappy about that."

Rose almost fell to the ground in fear. "I... It was my mistake. I made a slip of tongue."

No matter what kind of background Sara had, she was still Hank's young bride. Rose had just realized what she said was insulting to Hank. No wonder Hank had ordered Bella to come warn her in person! She thought to herself.

Rose was extremely regretful and couldn't understand how she could say those words at that time.

Bella stood up and said, "Miss Dior, please behave well. Master Bishop is quite interested in Miss Martin. If you want to hurt her, do think twice."

Rose quickly gave him an apologetic smile. "I definitely have no such thought! It was just a misunderstanding."

"It's best if there's none." Bella said, and he glanced at Helen before taking his leave.

Once he was out of sight, Rose immediately sunk into the chair. She pursed her lip and cursed, "Sara, you b*tch..."

She had previously thought that if Sara was sold to Hank, she would be able to torture her in a justified way and that she wouldn't need to dirty her own hands. However, it seemed now that the b*tch was very good at bewitching men. Not only did Sara seduced Rose son, but she even seduced Hank as well... [ "Miss Dior..." Helen stammered. "I... Should leave first?" She asked.

Rose carefully pondered over Bella's words and stared at Helen. "Were you telling me the truth?" She asked.

Helen quivered, "Yes... It's all true!"

Rose smiled wickedly and ordered, "Send her to the Master's courtyard."

Helen widened her eyes in horror and started sobbing, "Miss Dior! Don't! I don't want to die! I don't want to die... I will tell you the truth..."

Rose sneered and said, "I don't want to hear it anymore. Take her away immediately."

The other servants dared not disobey and took away Helen, who was crying and making a scene.

Rose held her forehead and murmured, "Hank... how can you be so arrogant? How long do you think your sickly body can last? By then, everything in the Bishop family will belong to my son!"

With that thought in mind, she was back in a good mood again. She picked up the scissors and continued to trim the branches of the peony flowers. "When the time comes, the entire Bishop family will listen to my instructions. What's the big deal of me not being a Falcon?" She assured herself.
