Chapter 40 Making Things Difficult for Colleen

Colleen's scream came from the kitchen and she was squealing with fear in her voice. Her voice became hoarse in the end.

Colleen came out of the kitchen in a mess. Her clothes were nearly wet by the splashing water, and her hair was wet and stuck to her face.

Florence had a mirror in the living room. Colleen screamed again when she saw herself in the mirror.

"Aaaah!"

She was the daughter of the Scott family and the daughter-in-law of the Hudson family. She had never been in such an awkward position.

On the contrary, Florence was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely.

Florence was picking her ears and felt totally unconcerned. She found the scream was really harsh.

"I told you that you can't do it. Forget it. Just go, otherwise I will have such a bad reputation of treating you so mean, and they will all come here to pick a fight."

"I will not leave." Colleen gritted her teeth with anger. How could she leave so easily after being teased by Florence.

Otherwise, the plan to go to the banquet would be ruined.

Florence sneered, "Oh!"

Colleen was so hell-bent on it.

Colleen removed the hair on her face, hid her vicious scheme, and smiled. "Sis how about I order you a takeaway? I'll order the steamed fish for you."

"No." Florence refused mercilessly. "I just like the fish in the kitchen. Why? If you are not sincere, why do you come here again?"

Obviously, she was making things difficult for Colleen.

Colleen deeply regretted that she had come here today. She came in a day when Florence was just raising a live fish in the kitchen.

Colleen squeezed out a smile that was uglier than when she was crying and said, "Sis I didn't say I am not going to cook it. I am just taking a break."

"I have to go out later. Mrs. Cooper asked me to go shopping with her."

Florence said it on purpose.

Sure enough, when Colleen heard Mrs. Cooper, her eyes were gleaming and said, "Is it Mr. Cooper Andrew's wife?"

Florence said lazily, "Yes."

Colleen was very excited. "Sis can I go with you?"

Mrs. Cooper was a person that a lot of noblewomen in the circle wanted to fawn on. Colleen had heard that her mother-in-law had asked Mrs. Cooper out to play mahjong several times, but Mrs. Cooper refused.

If Colleen could help her mother-in-law to build a relationship with Mrs. Cooper, her mother-in-law would definitely change her attitude towards her. If Colleen could please her mother-in-law, her life

in the Hudson family would be easier, and Thomas would also praise her at that time.

Florence raised her eyelids and said, "You can't even handle a fish. Why should I bring you with me?"

"I can do it. I will kill the fish now! It won't take long." Colleen was indeed not easy to be defeated. She went into the kitchen again.

The fish jumped out of the sink making it harder for her to catch.

Florence got up, walked over and leaned on the door, commanding, "Left, right. It moved into the cracks. Oops! Colleen, why are you so stupid? You are so stupid. It's behind you now."

Colleen followed Florence's command and she felt so dizzy. Finally she caught the fish but the fish was struggling and its tail was swinging and slapping Colleen's face.

Florence couldn't help but laugh. Colleen sat on the ground which was wet by the water and she had got smell of fish all over her body. The fish on the ground even shook its tail arrogantly, making her even angrier.

It was not easy to catch fish and now she had to pick up a knife to kill the fish. Colleen felt more nauseous.

When she thought that she could please her mother-in-law and Thomas by striking up a relationship with Mrs. Cooper, she decided to endure it.

Florence reminded her indifferently, "I will be out in an hour."

"It will be ready soon." Colleen held the fish fiercely in both hands, carried the knife, and cut it with her eyes closed.

The fish's blood splashed all over her, and the fishy smell was even worse.

Colleen was near to tears.

Florence saw Colleen's expression clearly and she was very happy. "This is what you asked for, I didn't force you."

"I am very happy to have a chance to cook for my sister." Colleen tried to force a smile. But she didn't know that it was even uglier than crying.

Florence wasn't in that mood to keep watching Colleen making fool of herself, so she went to wash up and change her clothes.

Florence glanced at the phone, the whole morning almost past, but she didn't get any message from Alexander.

Maybe he was busy working.

Brielle sent a message to Florence saying that she would be downstairs in half an hour.

Florence packed up, and Brielle was downstairs.

Colleen already steamed the fish and she walked out of the kitchen with a smile. "Sis the fish will be ready in ten minutes."

"You can eat it yourself. Mrs. Cooper is downstairs." Florence walked to the porch and changed shoes.

Seeing that Florence didn't intend to take her, Colleen was anxious and said, "Sis let me go with you. Mrs. Cooper's taste and appreciation level are definitely different. You don't know luxury goods. Maybe I can help, right?"

Florence looked up and down at Colleen and said, "Are you sure?"

Colleen was in a mess with the smell of fish and cooking all over her. If she showed up in front of Mrs. Cooper like this, she must be embarrassed.

"I'll clean myself up right away." Colleen said hastily, "Sis wait a moment. Can you lend me your clothes?"

Florence sneered lightly, "My clothes are all bought from the flea market. You are the precious daughter of the Scott family. I am afraid that if you wear my clothes, you will have a rash, then I will be the one to be blamed."

Colleen always wore clothes from famous brand. She had never worn any cheap clothes. In normal times, she would rather die than wearing Florence's clothes.

But now, she didn't have time to care about it.

Colleen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I can wear any clothes."

"Fine, I'll find one for you." Florence found the ugliest one in the closet, threw it to Colleen, and smiled. "This one goes well with you. I bought it from the stall and paid 25 dollars."

"Can people wear clothes worth only 25 dollars?"

Colleen was angry in her heart and hinted that Florence could only match those cheap clothes.

Colleen's eyes were full of despise. Florence's clothes were too ugly. She really didn't understand Florence's taste in fashion.

Of course, the dress was chosen by Evelyn when Florence was shopping with Evelyn before.

"Embarrass you? Then don't wear it." Florence said. "Mrs. Cooper is waiting. I don't have time to goof around with you."

"No, I will change it right away." Colleen gritted her teeth with despise on her face and have no choice but to put it on.

She looked at herself in the mirror and found it was really ugly.

Colleen's legs were thick and short, and this dress exposed all her shortcomings.

They went downstairs together. Brielle was waiting in the car, When she saw Florence, she got out of the car with a smile and said, "Florrie, I am here."

"Mrs. Cooper." Florence walked over.

"Get in the car. I will take you to the spa today." Brielle didn't notice Colleen at all and just ignored her.

Brielle did not have a daughter, which was her regret. After giving birth to Nicholas, the doctor told her that she couldn't have another baby with her physical condition at that time. So her wish to have a daughter would never come true.

Now that she had a goddaughter, Brielle's wish was fulfilled. The more she saw Florence, the more she liked her.

She completely forgot that his son was beaten and taken to the hospital because of Florence.

Seeing the two of them ignored her, Colleen was anxious, and stepped forward to get Mrs. Cooper's attention. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper. I am Colleen, daughter-in-law of the Hudson family. My mother-in-law has always been thinking about you, and said that if you are free someday, she would like to invite you to play mahjong and go shopping together."

Colleen's self-introduction made Florence want to laugh. She emphasized her identity for fear that others might not know that she was the daughter-in-law of the Hudson family.

Colleen was just too anxious, and her mouth opened before brain engaged.

Florence didn't say a word, and saw how Colleen would act .

Brielle glanced at Colleen indifferently and she said with anger in her tone, "Who is your mother-in- law? Do I know her? Am I familiar with her?"

Colleen couldn't hide her anger on her face. Thomas was a bastard, so Colleen's mother-in-law would be the second wife of the Hudson family. To put it bluntly, she was just a mistress with no status. How could she get a relationship with Brielle?

A mistress wanted to have a good relationship with the legal wife. She just wanted to use Brielle to gain a foothold in the noble women's circle.

Brielle was not a fool, and no legal wife was willing to make friends with mistresses. It would lower her rank.

Colleen hadn't reacted to what Brielle said yet, and she didn't know why Brielle sounded angry. She added cautiously, "My mother-in-law's name is Felicity Legend. Mrs. Cooper, do you remember her?"

"Oh, I remember. She is a mistress." Brielle's tone was mixed with contempt, and Colleen couldn't find a way out of an embarrassing situation. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Mrs. Cooper, I..."

Colleen's face looked worse. Before she could finish her words, Brielle covered her nose and said, "What is that smell? It is stinky! How many days since the last time you took a bath?"

What she said made Colleen's face blushed immediately. There was still smell of fish all over her. Even if she wore perfume, she still smelled bad. It should be even worse.

The smell of fish was mixed with the smell of perfume. That was so awful.

Colleen stepped back a few steps and said incoherently, "Mrs. Cooper, my sister just let me... I just passed the trash can. Maybe the smell just left on me."

Colleen wanted to blame it on Florence, but when the words reach her lips, she withdrew.

Florence looked at Colleen with a smile, and was about to say something, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar car coming by, and she frowned suddenly.
