CHAPTER 537 THE HARVEY FAMILY HAS RAISED MS. HARVEY UP LIKE A PIG
Wilda noticed that she was being too hasty, which might invoke Shaneâs wrath. She then smiled
sheepishly at him, âThe flower arrangement last night was gorgeous. I wanted her to teach me how to
do that.â
âDo you know how to do that?â Shane shot a surprised look at Madeline. In his mind, he thought that all
Madeline knew was to threaten and entrap others.
âI know a thing or two. If you are so eager to learn, Ms. Havey, I am more than happy to teach you.
There is an empty vase in this room as we speak.â
âIâll go get some flowers,â When Thomas heard what Madeline had said, he immediately rushed out to
fetch some flowers. He did not give Wilda a chance to eat her words.
When Thomas ran off, so did Mackenzie and Colton.
A few minutes later, the three of them each carried a bunch of colorful flowers and reentered the room
grandly.
Madelineâs lips curled up while Shane looked like he was holding off his anger. On the other hand,
Wilda had a desolate and resigned look on her face. Just as she was about to think of some excuse to
leave the room, Shane pointed at the flowers and said, âYouâre quite hot-tempered lately, and I think it
would do you a lot of good to learn how to arrange flowers and meditate.â
Wildaâs heart sank. She initially thought that Shane would know about Wilburâs intention to marry her
off to Noah, but from the look of things, it seemed that he was in the dark about this. He even criticized
her for being too hot-tempered based on how much feelings she had toward Noah.
She never thought about this carefully, but it was only normal that Shane would never allow her
precious granddaughter to be a mistress and third wheel in another coupleâs relationship.
âI got it, grandpa.â Wilda sat down obediently by the table, but her eyes which were glued to Madeline
were full of threat.
Madeline should know what was good for herself and just simply taught the basics. In Wildaâs eyes,
Madeline was just a maid who could not be better than her in terms of arranging flowers.
âI will do it first. Can you follow my steps?â Madeline asked with her brows raised.
Wilda saw that Madeline knew what she was doing, so she nodded.
Then, Madeline began to cut the stalks while Thomas and the others assisted her. Shane shot a look at
Wilda, which drove Wilda to help Madeline too, albeit a little unwillingly.
However, Wilda grew up in a well-off environment. In the past when she was learning how to arrange
flowers, those stalks had been prepared beforehand and there was not much snipping and cutting to
do. Therefore, it only took a while before her hand began to have blisters.
She wanted to act pitiful in front of Shane, but Madeline saw through her and prevented that from
happening, âAre you hurt?â
Mackenzie shook her head and commented, âYour hand is hurting already? Weâre just getting started.
You must be kidding, right?â
Wilda, who was about to complain, could only shut up when she heard that.
It took her great effort to cut all those stalks, and Madeline began to arrange the flowers in the vase.
Wilda had no patience to watch her because she truly believed that Madeleine did not know how to do
this.
However, half an hour later, an artistic flower basket was born. It shocked Wilda.
She never thought that Madeline really knew what she was doing!
Wilda did not want to look bad in front of her, so she vowed to create an even more marvelous flower
basket now!
However, those stalks which had been finely cut had all been used up. She had to cut the raw stalks
once again.
âMy hand hurts so much. I donât want to cut this anymore,â When Mackenzie tossed aside her scissors,
Shane immediately waved at her, âCome play with your grandpa, will you?â
Then, as if on cue, the three kids were all gone.
Madeline rubbed her waist as she offered with a smile, âLet me boil you some tea, Mr. Harvey.â
Shane was happy to hear that.
Wilda was the only one who was left managing those flowers. She wanted to summon her maids to
come in to help her, but that would only leave an impression in Shaneâs mind that she was not a
resilient woman who could endure hardships.
She had a premonition that if she were to complain about her agony now, Shane would take this
opportunity to rip her apart using Noah as an excuse. He would then forbid her to get close to Noah
again.
Therefore, she reckoned that she had to endure this now.
More than an hour later, her stalks were finally all prepared. However, after putting them together in a
basket, it was not as attractive as the one Madeline had created.
âHey, you canât even make a nice-looking one even if youâre copying mommyâs flowers. Youâre really
something else,â Before Wilda could destroy her own flower basket, Thomas came over and
commented.
Wilda was so furious right now since Shane was seemingly looking down on her too.
âIâm just not so familiar with it compared to last time, so I needed some practice. I am going to do this
seriously now,â Wilda found an excuse.
Madeline glanced at her and said, âMs. Harvey, if you want to copy mine, youâve snipped your stalks
wrongly, do you know that? You need to do them again.â
Wilda felt that her blisters were about to pop on her skin, and she initially wanted to ask Madeline to
help her, but Colton snagged her away before she could do that.
Poor Wilda could only continue to hold back her pain as she continued to ship the stalks.
The whole afternoon, Wilda continued to cut and refine her stalks and rearrange them, but her creation
never topped Madelineâs. Only when the other maids were asking her to come down for dinner she
could finally produce a somewhat decent rendition.
âIf you have time on your hands, go attend some classes on flower arrangement,â When Shane was
going downstairs with the kids, he could not help but give her a comment.
Wilda was so indignant that she wanted to cry.
Thomas did not forget to take another dig at her, âIs Ms. Harvey someone who knows how to enjoy
herself every day and not learn anything? Zeke, it would be so nice if you are born into their family. You
can be as merry and relaxed as a pig.â
âI donât want to be as stupid as a pig,â Mackenzie made a funny face at Thomas.
Shane frowned, âEvery child of the Harvey family needs to attend many lessons to learn different
things.â
âThen she must be the most stupid one, right? Her academic result must be the worst out of everyone,â
Although they were disappearing out of sight, Thomasâ voice was always loud. Wilda had heard what
he just said.
Madeline almost went crazy for stifling her laughter, âDonât mind the kids, Ms. Harvey. They donât know
what they are talking about most of the time.â
Wilda raised her arm as she was about to hit Madeline, but at the same time, Madeline was tidying up
the tools, and she was holding a pair of scissors too. She raised her hand and it met with Wildaâs palm,
which left a cut on it. Wilda was fortunate that she did not bring down her hand with immense force,
and she had to thank Madeline for her kindness too, or else the scissors could even cut through her
palm.
âWhat the hell are you doing? Youâve hurt me! Do you want to die?â The scissors somehow slit through
the blisters on Wildaâs palms, which sent a wave of excruciating pain to her.
âDrop dead now!â Wilda could not control her anger anymore as she was trying to snatch Madelineâs
scissors and aim them at her face.
Noah just happened to pass by and saw this scene, and his face was so cold that it was unbelievable.
He swooped in and placed a device on Wildaâs leg, which sent her crashing forward. Her scissors
stabbed into one of Shaneâs favorite wood statues, and her jaw was swollen because she had hit it so
hard on something.
âMs. Harvey, what do you think youâre doing?â Noahâs cold voice sounded behind her.
Wilda immediately became frantic, and she quickly stood up and pointed at Madeline, âItâs her fault!
She purposely stabbed my hand with scissors!â
Madeline said nothing to that. She wanted to see how Wilda was going to make a fool out of herself.
âMs. Harvey, you canât just throw blame around like that. Iâve live-streamed what happened just now
and it was clear that you wanted to cut Madelineâs face.â Canary felt sorry for Madeline who was getting
targeted by Wilda, so he waved at her, âPretty lady, come to me. If youâre with me, I can guarantee that
she wonât hurt you ever again.â
Madeline felt awkward as she knew that Canary was asking her to be his maid. However, it sounded
wrong coming from his mouth.
Noah was immediately angered by what he heard, âI never really think about it, but it seems that
everyone in the Harvey family is a bully.â
âYouâre right, theyâre too atrocious. I almost got harassed by Ms. Harvey just now too,â Lone Wolf
casually strolled into the room without anyone noticing, and he had a disgusted look on his face when
he stared at Wilda.
