When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 1008: Waiting for an Opportunity to Strike

The kitchen of the Xavier Family was bustling with a festive air, having purchased a lot of fresh ingredients, someone began listing the menu and coordinating with the chefs on how to prepare them—

The atmosphere really felt just like New Year’s.

"The Maritime Style’s eight cold dish platter must be made authentically, the Four Treasures Fish Fin Soup should be served in a large bowl, make sure the portion is sufficient, be mindful of the time when steaming the king crab, the roasted suckling pig must be the first to be served," the overseer instructed.

Someone beside him was nodding continuously, writing it down.

Soon, someone came over to distribute red envelopes, handing a thick one to the counterpart, "Come, come, come, everyone come and get your red envelopes! It’s from the eldest miss! Peterson, Lowell! Mrs. Lane! Auntie Peterson, Vincent..."

"Thank you, thank you! So thick! How much is it?"

"Wow! Thank you!"

"Eighteen thousand!" he answered while handing out from the large bag.

"Thank the eldest miss for me!" The person receiving it with both hands had a bright smile on their face.

The one distributing the red envelopes was marking names on the list and said, "In the future when you see the eldest miss, just sweeten your words a bit, make her feel the warmth of home, she is indeed the apple of Mr. and Mrs.’s eyes."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

"You guys say... now that the eldest miss is back, what will happen to Miss Rhiannon?" Indeed, wherever there are people, there’s gossip.

In private, everyone would discuss and explore this matter.

"Yeah, Miss Rhiannon is probably not happy about this, right?" Someone had already thought of this issue long ago.

At this point, the person handing out the red envelopes replied, "Does it matter if she’s happy or not? She’s not the biological daughter of the Xavier Family."

"It’s just like... having something of yours suddenly snatched away by someone else."

"That’s not right!" someone immediately retorted, "That thing originally belonged to others! Just because she held it for a long time, how did it become her thing? What kind of reasoning is that?"

"But human nature is just like that."

"Alright, alright, stop discussing this matter, hurry and get to work! It wouldn’t be good for Mr. and Mrs. to hear it."

"Yes, yes, yes, just keep quiet with your pay."

...

By evening, when Rhiannon Xavier’s car stopped again on the parking lot of the Xavier Family’s mansion, she got out with her bag and walked inside, noticing the courtyard brightly decorated with lanterns.

"Hmph, the pomp is quite big." She sighed, jealousy swelling up directly in her heart!

But she held her composure, walked forward expressionlessly.

"Good day, miss."

The passing servants would still greet her as usual when they saw her, and she also greeted back with a smile.

But today, those calls of "miss" were particularly grating to her ears.

Because she heard people talking about referring to Gia as the eldest miss—

"Actually, the eldest miss is really blessed, drifting over from the river, not only did she not die, but she was also saved by her family, what a miraculous fate is this?"

"Indeed, they say those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune later, this saying is not false at all!"

"The problem is... she is also Mrs. Lancaster! Her good fortune is already great enough."

Gia couldn’t be bothered to respond, quickened her steps forward, and directly headed toward the kitchen with her bag!

She wanted to poison everyone! Everyone who welcomed Shane home! Everyone who was cheerful and delighted!

Stepping angrily into the kitchen, gosh! So many people!! She hesitated for a moment, quickly turned around!

Indeed, with such a grand banquet tonight, how could they not prepare several tables of dishes?

The kitchen was probably not a feasible place to make a move.

Therefore, Rhiannon Xavier had no choice but to go to where Gia used to live! She probably hadn’t moved everything out yet, the pharmacy was there.

Didn’t she want to drink herbal medicine? In that case.... let’s start with the herbal medicine!

First poison her to mute her, it won’t be long before that pretty face of hers will start to rot slowly, just like her insides, she will die bit by bit in agony and torment...
