A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Terence looked at Mandy with confusion and then glanced at Jean. "What happened exactly? Can you please make it clear to me?"

"Nothing. Don't listen to my mother's nonsense," Jean hastily blurted out.

"Auntie, what happened?" Terence wasn't going to let this go. He needed to know everything that happened.

Mandy gave him a bitter smile and said, "It's because of the servants. They don't want to serve Jean and they think that it's unfair she's living here."

"Mom, please stop talking." Jean frowned and turned to Terence. "Please don't listen to her. It's not like what she said."

"Don't say anything, right now." Terence dismissed. "Please go on, Auntie."

"Alright." Mandy let out a deep sigh and continued, "I wanted to tell you that I saved some money over the last few years. I wanted to buy Jean a small house, so that she could live comfortably. That way, she wouldn't have had to deal with disrespectful servants."

"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Terence had a grim look on his face. "Jean is my friend. Now she's living here, she's technically the owner of the villa. I hired the servants and they work efficiently. But if they did something wrong, then that's something I can't tolerate.
