Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

She recalled her past with Stella.

They had gone to the same hospital for their internship, and they naturally grew close to each other because they were both new to the environment.

Stella was naturally distant, and thus there wasn’t much interaction between them.

There was once, towards the end of the semester when Eli had caught a cold. She was nauseous for the entire day and she couldn’t complete her thesis. She thought that she was screwed. However, she never expected that Stella would complete and submit her thesis for her.

She had always been a person who cherished acts of service. Ever since then, she got closer to Stella and both of them became close friends.

If it weren’t because of what had happened to her mother, Stella would still be her best friend.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs, and her mother would not come back from the dead.

Stella was already so ahead in life, and Eli felt that both of them were living in two different worlds. Although she knew clearly that they no longer had anything to do with each other, she still felt heartbroken over all the effort and love that she had poured into their relationship.

“Eli, what do you think?” Yvonne asked.

Eli came back to her senses.

She hadn’t listened to their discussion at all because she was immersed in her own thoughts. “I don’t really understand what’s going on right now, so I don’t think that I could provide any useful opinion.”

Yvonne was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.

She didn’t expect Eli to reply to her in such a way. Had she overestimated her?

“Is there anyone here who would care to explain?” Yvonne asked softly.

“It’s like this. Mrs. Zane is the wife of the Director of the Education Department, and I don’t think that it’s appropriate for her to visit the children with Mrs. President since there are some issues going on in the department right now,” Milana explained.

“How is it inappropriate for me to visit the children? I carry good intentions, unless you are creating some alarmist rumors like what Stella Grace did. I am seriously doubting your intention here, Madam Milana,” Mrs. Zane talked back furiously.

“How am I spreading rumors when the truth is already all over the Internet? How could I be sure your intentions are pure? If that’s true, then how could you let the education “a fill up with bad students?” Milana refused to let go of the topic.

“Mrs. Zane has already said that her husband didn’t know what was going on, and I believe that this issue is still under investigation. I don’t think that you should let this issue affect the orphanage visit. Madam Yvonne, what do you think?” Mrs. Zellweger voiced out.

She was mature and experienced. The room went silent as soon as she spoke.

Yvonne smiled and remained quiet.

“Mrs. Zellweger, the Education Bureau is directly under the Deputy Commander. Are you biased toward him?” Milana huffed.

“All will be revealed once the case is investigated thoroughly, and those who are involved will receive their punishment. However, Madam Milana is jumping to conclusions right now even though the investigation is still going on. Your husband is the Director of the Security Bureau, so what do you think?” Mrs. Zellweger said calmly.

Perhaps it was because of her age and experience in the Cabinet, her words, though calm, clearly made a great impact.

“I am just stating my opinion. It’s not my fault if you guys want to start a fight. Well, do as you wish. You will surely come to regret it,” Milana shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be unbothered by the whole drama.

“What do you think, Eli?” Yvonne asked again.

Eli blinked her eyes and looked at Yvonne in confusion. She didn’t understand why Yvonne kept asking her questions. Didn’t she ask her to speak less to avoid unnecessary slip-ups? If it were up to her, she would have asked the meeting to be dismissed.

“Well, I understand that Mrs. Zane’s intention of following Mrs. President to the orphanage is not only to show her kindness but also to make use of this opportunity to tell the public that the President doesn’t think that the Director of the Education Department was directly involved in this issue. It is a public show of support to end the baseless gossips that have been spreading around.

However, in Madam Milana’s point of view, she feels that it isn’t appropriate for Mrs. Zane to follow Mrs. President. She is probably worried that the President would be affected and targeted by the public by saying that he is being biased. This might lead to the public perceiving that the President had let the Director of the Education Department off easily, and this might inadvertently stir up even more public anger.

In fact, I think that visiting the orphanage itself isn’t the main problem. After all, kindness towards children is everyone’s responsibility. The problem right now is the timing. In my opinion, it isn’t appropriate to do it during such a sensitive time.

However, these are just my thoughts. I will leave it for you all to decide,” Eli said. After that, she looked at Mrs. Zane and smiled to show her some respect.

Everyone went into silence after her speech.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The women in the Cabinet were known to be pretentious and they would always express their thoughts in an indirect way. They would always sugar-coat their words to make it sound less biased. In short, they were being hypocritical.

However, what Eli had just said hit straight to the core and left all of them in thought.

“Mrs. Zellweger, what do you think?” Yvonne turned to her and asked.

Eli took a glance around the table and deduced that Mrs. Zellweger was the most well-respected one in the room. Even Yvonne had to be extra cautious when she was talking to her.

Mrs. Zellweger smiled and replied, “I think that Miss Wayne had hit the nail on the head. I think that it really isn’t appropriate for Mrs. Zane to visit the orphanage with you while the case is still under investigation. It won’t be too late for her to go with you even after the case is closed.”

Mrs. Zellweger looked at Eli with a smile.

Eli suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she was referring to her.

“I am not sure whether my opinion is right. You should decide on it on your own,” she said.

She wasn’t Miss Wayne, nor did she want to be biased toward any side. She just wanted to mind her own business and she didn’t want to be involved in any sort of drama.

“Alright, I’ll consider this matter settled then. I believe that there will be more opportunities for Mrs. Zane to visit the orphanage in the future. Mrs. Zellweger, Mrs. Davis, why don’t the two of you come along with me this time? Is that okay for both of you?” Yvonne asked them.

Mrs. Davis nodded and said, “Alright.”

Mrs. Zellweger smiled and said, “I don’t think that I will be going, because I don’t feel that well these days. Perhaps my age is catching up to me. It is hard for me to keep up with the youth.”

“Alright then, Mrs. Zellweger. Please take good care of your body as it is the most important thing that you could do for yourself,” Yvonne reminded her softly.

“You’re right, Madam Yvonne,” Mrs. Zellweger nodded and said.

“Is there anyone else who would like to volunteer?” Yvonne invited.

“Me! I love children. I will prepare a lot of gifts for them,” Milana said with a grin.

Yvonne nodded and agreed, “Alright then. Thank you, everyone. Let’s call it a day and we shall end the meeting here.”

Eli wrote something in her notebook, “Mrs. President will bring Mrs. Davis and Madam Milana along with her to the orphanage.”

Yvonne stood up and walked toward the door.

Eli put the notebook where she had found it and followed after Yvonne.

She felt much more relieved once she left the room.

“What have you observed during this meeting?” Yvonne asked inaudibly.

“The meeting has already ended. I don’t think that I have made any kind of observation, and I’m actually feeling a little dizzy right now,” she said. She was flustered, as though she had just come out of an exam hall. She scratched her head and her hair became messy.

Yvonne laughed and held her hand. After that, she explained to her and said, “You have to learn all these in due time. For example, you need to learn how to make everything go according to your will, and how to show your authority when it is appropriate. You need to fully understand the inter-relationships that people have too. Only with all these could you control their hearts and make them treat you with respect.”
