Chapter 1298

“Wendy, I’m up a creek without a paddle, which is why I’m calling you. I was just kicked out of the Harper family by Elizabeth, and I’ve got nowhere else to go. Can you…”

Wendy’s brows furrowed instantly. “You got kicked out by Elizabeth? How could Presley agree to that?”

“Yes, Elizabeth suddenly lost it, accused Presley of favoring me too much right in front of him, and even brought up Alyssa. Presley had no comeback, so he let Elizabeth give me the boot…”

“Where are you now?” Wendy was getting a bit irked, she needed a mole in the Harper family, not another mouth to feed.

“I’m…still on the road outside the Harper family’s mansion. I want to leave, but it’s too far from downtown…”

Wendy mulled it over for a couple of seconds, then said nonchalantly, “Just stay put for now, I’ll come find you. If we can coax Presley a bit, he probably won’t let you go.”

Addie hesitated, her voice betraying her reluctance. “But what about Elizabeth…”

“If Presley decides to keep you, Elizabeth probably won’t kick you out again so soon.

Addie was over the moon. “Alright, Ms. Wendy, thank you so much. I’ve been working for the Harper family for so many years, I haven’t made any big contributions but I’ve always been loyal to Presley. I believe he won’t be so…”

“Mmhm.” Wendy cut her off impatiently and hung up the phone..

Addie was cut off mid–sentence, her voice caught in her throat, but all she hoped for now was that Wendy would put in a good word for her so she could stay with the Harper family, so she didn’t mind that much. She dragged her suitcase to the side of the road, found a clean spot to sit down, and waited anxiously for Wendy’s arrival.
