The sun was shining brightly.
Mia Ginger opened her email, attached the "Beauty Bone" document, clicked send to "Crescent Moon," and breathed a sigh of relief.
The novel collection needed two short stories.
She spent almost a month completing "White Horse Town" and "Beauty Bone."
Feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Mia Ginger tapped her fingers lightly on the table, closed the email, and opened the chat box to message the editor "Crescent Moon."
[Finished, just sent the second one to your inbox, "Beauty Bone," please check.]
Editor Crescent Moon—
[Got it. I’ll check it in a while. Thanks for the hard work! Coffee]
[Alright. Just leave me a message if anything comes up.]
Editor Crescent Moon—
Mia Ginger thought for a moment, closed the chat box, and stood up to get some water in the small living room.
As she was returning with water, she heard Zuri Ginger speaking.
"What are you rushing for?" Zuri Ginger stopped Sage at the stairs and asked coldly, looking suspicious.
"Nothing." Sage pursed her lips nervously.
The third floor housed Aiden Jiang and Charlotte Chester, and after Amelia Miller left, Sage started cleaning.
Having learned from past mistakes, Charlotte Chester was very cautious with valuables. Sage was usually quiet and reserved, unlikely to have the courage to do anything.
Was she scared of her own shadow?
Zuri Ginger thought wildly, her face growing darker, as she lowered her voice with a cold laugh, "They say silent hooves kick the hardest, and it’s true."
"M...Miss, I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Don’t know?" Zuri Ginger stared at her hatefully, gritting her teeth, "You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Mia Ginger came back, and now you don’t care about the eldest Miss, right? Why didn’t you mention the orange juice incident?"
"At the birthday party!" Zuri Ginger gritted her teeth.
"That," Sage thought for a moment, sulking, "I was drawing the curtains then, didn’t see the second Miss change the orange juice."
Zuri Ginger was exasperated, stared at her for a while, but remained without a clue.
Unable to detect if she was lying from her expression, feeling even more irritated.
"Just get out of here."
She waved Sage away and went downstairs herself.
It’s already the twenty-seventh, and the twins’ birthday was three days ago.
Aiden Jiang and Charlotte Chester were convinced of her explanation, but Edward Davis confidently insisted she volunteered and even swore he’d marry her, leaving Aiden Jiang helpless for a while.
Charlotte Chester was actually in favor of the alliance.
But Zuri didn’t want it!
After missing out on a prestigious family like the Jackson Family, how could she accept such a disparity so quickly?!
The Davis Family barely counted as emerging business elite, but in the Cloud Capital, families like the Davis were as common as dirt.
How could she be content?!
Edward Davis was secretly a heartbreaker, how could she endure that!
Opinions diverged, and these days, her relationship with Charlotte Chester had become strained.
Zuri Ginger was extremely frustrated.
This mood hadn’t improved by dinner time; she was sulking. Because of her issue, Charlotte Chester was depressed, Bob Ginger was also depressed, and Mia Ginger, who was always taciturn, made the dining table very quiet.
"Go upstairs and see why the gentleman hasn’t come down yet?"
