Chapter 826
Sophia continued to throw the seed hulls on the floor as she said indifferently, "I'm teaching Samantha to tidy up
the house. Her work is getting sloppy because she is growing older."
"You're too much!"
Albert roared in anger, "Do you think I wouldn't know how capable Samantha is after she had worked for us for all
these years?!"
He lifted Samantha and told off Sophia with a scowl on his face." Apologize to Samantha! Now!"
Sophia's expression turned ugly. She threw away the nuts that were still in her hand, and shrieked, "I won’t! How is
it my fault when she was the one who didn't do her job well?"
"What's with that attitude of yours? Don't you have any manners?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Sophia no longer seemed well-mannered after taking in all three mother and daughters. She was a sweet and
caring person that would help with spring cleaning, helping the attendants with their work, and even serving them
drinks. Why did she change?'
Blaming herself for escalating the conflict between the both of them, Samantha immediately said, "It's alright, Mr.
Albert. I'll tidy this up immediately."
Sophia coldly said, "Father, are you dissatisfied with how I mistreated her because she was hired by your ex-wife?
Why are you still so afraid when Rainee has already been cremated for so long?"
What Sophia said deeply saddened Albert. He lifted his hands and slapped her. "You better shut up!"
Sophia was momentarily dazed from that slap. She never thought that Albert would slap her.
Hylda saw everything when she came downstairs. She snapped and shouted, "Why are you slapping your own
child?!"
She hugged Sophia as she finished speaking. Albert, whose face was still red from the anger, replied, "Why don't
you ask her yourself? Ask her what she had just said?"
Sophia, with reddened eyes, wept with a depressed look. "I only mentioned Rainee. Was it wrong to even mention
someone who had already passed away?"
Hylda then immediately realized why Albert blew his top. It was naturally not because he had deep feelings for
Rainee, but the recent spooky incidents had put him on edge. He would jump in fright if there was any mention of
Rainee. Mysterious incidents had continued to happen since Hugo drew the scene where Rainee was met with the
accident. And, it had not been peaceful since. Freshly unsealed milk turned into blood, photos of Rainee that were
clearly incinerated reappeared at the headboard where the both of them were sleeping, and even the voice of
Rainee singing could be heard from the attic in the middle of the night...
All these supernatural events made Albert tensed up, and he became a devout. He would visit temples that were a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfew hours' drive just to be charitable. All this to have some peace of mind even though Hylda did not believe that it
was all supernatural.
Rainee would not turn into a poltergeist just to play little tricks on them. Even when the security camera had not
taken shots of anyone playing tricks on them, Hylda firmly believed that it was not supernatural, but Albert thought
otherwise since he was cowardly and believed in the supernatural.
That was why he was infuriated when Sophia mentioned Rainee. She turned her head to Sophia and threatened her
with a whisper. "Shut up."
She then gently pulled Albert and consoled him. "Relax, Albert. Don't you know Sophia is normally not like this? She
must have gotten the short end of the stick when she was outside."
Albert relaxed and howled, 'At least teach your child some manners. Such a grown-up yet so disrespectful! Even
Stella, who was brought up by Rainee, would never bully the attendants in the house’’
Hylda's face contorted at what Albert said and Sophia immediately retorted, "Are you really sure that Stella is such
an upright person? She wouldn't be hooking up with men left, right, and center after her divorce if she was so
upright and civilized!"
