Chapter 40 Please Don't Tempt Me

• Mrs Martins wiped her tears and said, "Son, I am going back to my room. The fever has not gone yet. Please be careful of your sister. Should you continue being friendly with her, your father will give your inheritance to her. Do you understand, Son?" Aiden looked at his mother and nodded his head. Then his mother left his room smiling. Aiden was so angry; he decided to confront his sister after dinner.
• Hope went to Mrs Martins' bedroom to inform her that dinner had been served. She looked at her and asked, "Madam, do you want me to bring your food here since you are not well?" Mrs Martins looked at Hope coldly, but she didn't utter a word. Hope turned and walked towards the door. Mrs Martins was furious when she saw Hope leaving and asked, "Who gave you permission to leave?"
• Hope didn't turn and said, "Madam, I thought you became mute after playing in the rain. Hence, I decided to leave you alone." Then she left Mrs Martins' bedroom laughing. Mrs Martins felt humiliated to be laughed at by a mere helper in her house.
