Chapter 1992 Manage To Stay
Yet, she never considered why Elisa, as the boss, didn’t like her.
It was all because of her eagerness for quick success and lack of foresight, only caring about showing off herself while completely disregarding the company’s interests.
Julia, on the other hand, clearly knew everything, yet she didn’t expose it.
She chuckled. “The company doesn’t welcome you, but what makes you think you’d be welcome here?”
Kaylee’s expression changed for a moment. novelbin
Yet, she quickly regained her composure.
After taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, Kaylee said with a smile, “I know that Madam Smith is religious, and my family is also the same, so we should have some common topics. More importantly, Gareth and Bella are not often at home, so I can keep you company and entertain you. Moreover…” Kaylee seemed a bit shy, lowering her head.
“Besides, my injury still needs more time to heal.”
So that’s the reason.
If Kaylee hadn’t stated her purpose, Julia would have thought everything she said earlier was just rubbish.
When someone is kind to you without any apparent reason, it’s highly likely that you are their aim.
But Kaylee provided a purpose that didn’t sound farfetched and could stand its ground. That considerably eased Julia’s guard.
I guess Gareth simply couldn’t ignore this woman. After all, she had indirectly saved Elisa’s life once.
Whatever troubles that may arise in the future, they’d be not only incessant but also appalling. It might even catch the other party off guard.
It’s better to keep her under my watchful eye so she can’t stir up much trouble that way.
At this point, Julia had no idea how brutal the consequences of her decision would be.
As a result, she gently nodded, deciding to let Kaylee stay.
And so, the latter’s goal was achieved, and she wasn’t far from her ultimate goal.
In the evening, Elísa and Gareth did not return. Only Bella came back alone.
Originally smiling, she walked while looking at the things in her bag. “Grandma, on the way back, I noticed that the orange trees were bearing fruits. These flowers smell so good. I heard they also have a calming effect, so I specifically picked some to bring back. If you put them by your bed, they might help you sleep…”
Bella’s words abruptly came to a halt, and her smile froze awkwardly.
That was because she saw Kaylee.
The latter was dressed in a plain white sundress, her hair intricately braided. Her appearance was simple

yet elegant, reminiscent of a divine maiden, untouched and pure, seemingly oblivious to the ways of the
world.
She stood atop the steps, leisurely gazing at Bella. From her elevated perspective, her gaze seemed to carry a hint of disdain.
“Just hand over the stuff to me.” Her demeanor and tone would make one think that she was the matriarch of the household if they didn’t know better.
Bella was somewhat bewildered, unsure of how Kaylee could speak with such confidence.
When she saw Kaylee at the dinner table, she was still somewhat dissatisfied.
“So, Ms. Knapp, haven’t you recovered yet?”
Kaylee paused just as she was picking up some vegetables, appearing somewhat awkward.
She then shook her head slightly, flashing a weak smile. “It’s probably my chronic illness that had developed way before in the mountains acting up again. The new injuries, coupled with the old ones, have taken a toll on my internal organs, so…”
Bella nodded slightly. Her next question was straightforward. “So when are you leaving?”
Kaylee felt a bit embarra*sed. She glanced at Julia, but the latter seemed to have no intention of standing up for herself.
All she could do was swallow the bitterness in her mouth and force a smile onto her face.
“I… I’ll stay and keep Madam Smith company.”
