Zane and Sylvia looked confused and were filled with curiosity about the Thales family.
“Sylvia, is she here for you?” Zane turned to ask Sylvia, baffled.
Sylvia could not comprehend too, “Our family doesn’t have any relationship with the Thales family.”
“Then let’s invite her in.”
With that, Zane asked the maid to invite Nina in.
Why is this young girl looking for Sylvia?
Sylvia was puzzled too.
Actually, a bright idea had occurred to Nina suddenly. She recalled the wealthy people that her mother had met with during the years when they were abroad.
Thus, she curtsied per foreign royalty’s etiquette rules and even greeted Sylvia with a foreign language.
Astonishment crossed Sylvia’s features, “This, this kid is not local?”
But she looks like a local!
Zane’s curiosity was piqued, “Do you know how to speak in our local language?”
Nina nodded, “Of course, the Thales family makes it a rule for us to learn multiple languages because we have businesses with several countries. Thus, I know how to speak your language.”
Sylvia was impressed. It seems the Thales family is rather prominent with their vast businesses. I should not belittle them.
A thought struck her mind. If Sylphiette can’t get Evan to do her bidding, maybe we can switch our target to the Thales family instead!
“You are here to see Sylvia?”
“Yes. My mom has always talked about you and would like to invite you over to our residence. You can stay in any room that you like in our castle, and there are hundreds of maids to serve you.”
Castle. Hundreds of maids. The Thales family is indeed wealthy and prominent! This girl before me must be someone prominent too! Maybe this is God’s way of helping Lane Corporation. I will definitely soar to greater heights if I serve this girl well and befriend the Thales family.
“Why are you here alone? Where are your daddy and mommy?”
“They are receiving guests now. I will bring you to see them tonight.”
Sylvia pondered over her reply.
If I am really meeting the Thales family tonight, I can claim that this girl has lost her way, and I have been taking care of her for fear that she may be kidnapped by villains. Surely they will be grateful to me and reward me with endless amounts of money in return!
With this plan in mind, she immediately ordered the maids to take care of the ‘prestigious Ms. Thales’ before her.
A self-satisfied smirk flashed across Nina’s eyes.
I can stay here and take the opportunity to teach this witch a lesson while rescuing mommy! That’s great!
Sylvia ordered all the maids in her house to serve Nina like a princess.
Putting on airs as if she were really from the royal family, Nina started to pick on everything while sitting comfortably on the sofa. First, she claimed that the maids in the Thales family received better treatment in terms of food and lodging than those in Sylvia’s family. Next, she sent the maids scurrying away due to dozens of requests from her.
The maids busied themselves with cleaning the room and preparing fresh fruits, imported candies, and toys for the ‘prestigious Ms. Thales’ before them.
In short, Sylvia had spared no expense to please Nina.
Needless to say, Nina was overjoyed at the sight of the toys piling up before her.
Zane was dumbfounded.
“She’s only a kid. Is there a need to treat her as if she is a country’s president?”
But Sylvia’s opinions differed from Zane’s.
She was firmly convinced that, by sparing no expense to please the little girl before her, she would reap benefits several times of her initial ‘investment’.
Seeing that his advice fell on deaf ears, Zane gave up and let her be. He dated his friends out for tea instead. Before he left the house, Sylvia even reminded him not to leak out the information that the ‘prestigious Ms. Thales’ was staying with them now.
Zane cast a disdainful glance at her, “Only you will treat her as if she’s a gem. Others may not care a dime about her.”
“That’s only because they don’t recognize her for her true value. If she can turn our fortunes around, I will even worship her like a God.”
Zane ignored her and left the house.
Seeing that all the maids were sent out on errands, Nina saw it as a perfect opportunity to rescue her mom!
