Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 42
“You’ve been the lady of the house by your grandmother’s side for 12 years? Managing all the affairs of this mansion, big and small.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Gerald Pendleton, rather displeased by the docile answer, glared at his niece.
“Your housekeeping skills must be decent, so why are you still unmarried?”
“I think I’ve been unlucky in various ways. And I’m lacking as well.”
Miss Pendleton answered as politely as possible to avoid creating a conflict.
“Ah, so you’re saying a suitable match hasn’t appeared yet?”
“I don’t have such presumptuous thoughts, uncle.”
Gerald Pendleton laughed softly. Then, putting on his hat for going out, he said:
“I don’t know what you’re scheming, but you’d better give up any thoughts of receiving anything from my mother or continuing to live in this house. When mother passes away, this house will belong to our Charles. As soon as the funeral is over, you’ll have to pack your bags and leave immediately. Figure out how to live on your own.”
He passed by Miss Pendleton and disappeared downstairs. Miss Pendleton stood still on the stairs. Her uncle’s attitude just now was the same as 20 years ago, except that he didn’t use physical violence. Twenty years had not erased his contempt and hatred for his niece at all.
Miss Pendleton looked towards where her uncle had disappeared. And she cast a cold gaze that she would never reveal in the light.
‘It’s exactly the same as before. Just like when he would curse at me unspeakably, beat me as a thief, and throw things to bruise my body.’
To her uncle, she was still just a freeloader to be removed, no different from a despicable rat worthy of contempt. Perhaps bearing the Pendleton name had long served as fertilizer for that hatred.
But she didn’t want to refute or be angry at her uncle’s gaze. She just calmly sneered.
