YM778.TV Chapter 84 Not Her Lucky Day
Day Seven…
~~*****~~
Head Maid Adelaida immediately reported to Veronica as soon as she heard an important update from the guard.
"Lady Veronica! Good news! I think the cunning and shameless actress is now in trouble. Chairman Xu will be the one to kick her out of the mansion!" Adelaida\'s exhilarated voice resounded from the phone.
"Oh really? What happened? Did she offend Uncle Xu?" Veronica asked, her lips curling up into a triumphant smile. She was so eager to hear this piece of good news.
"Haha. Lady Veronica, she did something unforgivable! That shameless actress broke the century-old vase family heirloom! There is no way Chairman Xu will let this slide." Adelaida burst out laughing. She could already imagine how Old Man Xu would react.
"I\'m on my way to the Sparks Mansion, Lady Veronica. I want to see how that woman will be kicked out of the mansion. This is her Karma!" The head maid added, still rejoicing.
"Okay, Aunt Laida. Just update me again. I wanna know what will happen to her." Veronica couldn\'t hide her wide grin. She was currently checking Phantomflake\'s vitals when she received Adelaida\'s call.
When Adelaida hung up, Veronica came out of the comfort room. She hid there while talking to Adelaida so that their conversation wouldn\'t be recorded by the CCTV camera installed inside Phantomflake\'s ward.
After a while, Veronica\'s gaze fell on Phantomflake who was still in a coma.
"I\'m in a good mood right now so I will let you have your vitamins," Veronica mumbled, talking to the unconscious body of Phantomflake.
She gave her a shot for body nourishment as she continued talking to her. But she was only whispering so that the CCTV won\'t be able to record her words.
"Honestly, I don\'t know if I should hate you or not for killing my sister. My sister stole the man I love. Since she is my sister, I just gave up. But who would have thought that I would get a second chance to be with Nathan? You killed my sister… but I didn\'t hate you that much."
Veronica caressed Phantomflake\'s face. "I owe you this… that\'s why I\'m doing my best to let you live. Nathan will be happy once he sees you awake. He will be thankful to me as he will finally get his revenge against you. So… you must wake up, no matter what!"

Meanwhile, at Sparks Mansion, Abigail and Butler Li were now standing before Old Man Xu. The mighty chairman was staring at Abigail with his blazing eyes. He was surrounded by a chilly aura.
Indeed, this man was the father of the devil. He looked so furious as if he was about to eat Abigail alive. The old man was just holding his anger because of Ethan\'s presence. But deep inside, he was already boiling with rage, his cheeks burning red and his nose flaring.
Abigail accidentally broke the century-aged vase family heirloom while cleaning the house. And the worst timing was that Old Man Xu and Ethan just arrived at the mansion when it happened.
Butler Li and Abigail could no longer hide the incident as Old Man Xu witnessed it with his own eyes. His face was drained of color when the vase dropped from the second floor down to the first floor. The broken pieces welcomed Ethan and him with a loud crash.
"Chairman Xu… please don\'t get mad at Miss Abi. It was my fault. She was just trying to help." Butler tried to defend Abigail, taking the blame.
Old Man Xu slammed his eyes shut as he took a deep breath. He was trying to control his rage, calming down himself even though deep inside, he wanted to scream and vent out his frustration. That was their family heirloom!
He felt that his blood pressure rose and his heartbeat quickened. He didn\'t know how long he would be able to maintain his cool.
Fortunately, Little Ethan was there to pacify his grandpa. He held his hand and said, "Grandpa, inhale… exhale… inhale… exhale…"
Abigail could only bite her lower lip while secretly observing Old Man Xu. This was her first time meeting the devil\'s father. What if he was as cold as Nathan? She was doomed!
She didn\'t want to be on Old Man Xu\'s bad side. This old man was also influential and he had authority here as the Patriarch of the Sparks Family. He could kick her out of the mansion in just one day.
\'Damn! Of all the things, why did I have to break their family heirloom? I didn\'t know that an old-looking vase was very precious to this old man!\' Abigail started to regret her carelessness as she reprimanded herself inwardly.
She needed to gain the old man\'s favor and approval, not to offend him like this. Now, she felt like she was about to receive a death punishment from a grim reaper.
"What happened here? I thought she was a guest here. Why is she the one cleaning the house?" Old Man Xu finally spoke up. His cold sharp voice echoed in the living room.
Butler Li was about to answer when someone interrupted him.
"Master Xu! You are here. Oh my gosh! What happened here?! The Sparks Family Heirloom… got broken?! Who did this?" Adelaida\'s panicking voice was heard at the back. She finally arrived at the mansion, getting ready to watch a good drama between Old Man Xu and Abigail.
Both Abigail and Butler Li shot her a deathly glare. This happened because the maids and the helpers in the mansion went on a strike. Abigail and Butler Li had to clean the entire house before the arrival of Old Man Xu. But an accident happened while she was cleaning upstairs.
Abigail squinted her eyes on the Head Maid. She wondered why she came back today. She had a nagging feeling about this.
\'This old woman! I think she\'s here to get me in trouble. It seems that she is very close to the Patriarch…\' Abigail clenched her fists. She was so unlucky today. It\'s not all the time Little Ethan could back her up.
