Chapter 415

It was as though Yvette had just seen her.

"This should be Brother Deon’s wife. Hello, my name is Yvette. Just call me Yvie like Brother Deon does."

Nell smiled lightly though she did not seem very warm. "Hello."

When Old Madam Griffin saw this, she greeted Gideon and a few uncles from the Griffins to go behind to play chess while the ladies chatted in the front.

Most men did not take to the topics women talked about well, so Nell did not care.

On the contrary, Gideon, fearing that she would not be used to being there without him, secretly squeezed her hand.

"Sit down for a while. I’ll come over after a few words with them."

Nell nodded.

After Gideon had left, she walked over to the sofa. As it was already full of people, the maid moved a soft stool over on which she sat and listened to them quietly.

Yvette saw it with a glimmer in her eyes.

She smiled and said to a group of female relatives, "Do you know what we ate when we were out in the wild? I’ll tell you, it was really madness. We only brought three days of dry food to go through the Amazon since the base on the other side would have food for us. The various traps along the way were hidden, thus we didn't know about them in advance.”

After all, she had stayed in the army. Since these things were so new to these pampered rich ladies, everyone listened very carefully.

Someone asked, "The Amazon jungle is so big. How could you have gone through it in three days? And no one told you about those traps. What if you got injured?"

"If you get hurt, you’d just have to put up with it." Yvette was quite proud. "I remember that I met a group of African indigenous people and was almost caught by them. Fortunately, I ran fast enough and didn't fall into their trap."

"African natives? Were they cannibals?"

"Hmm... Almost! But they don't eat people. They capture humans as offerings, cut off their heads, and put them on the altar on a moonlit night..."

"God! Stop it! That’s so scary."

"What's so scary about that? The cannibals are okay. The most terrifying thing is the various poisonous insects they release. Once you don't pay attention, you’ll easily become food for them. Oh, speaking of that."

Yvette suddenly turned her head to look at Nell, and said thoughtfully, "If it wasn't for Brother Deon saving me, I wouldn't have been able to get out."

Gideon?

What did Gideon have to do with her military training?

Nell had no expression on her face but Old Madam Griffin explained with a smile.

"About six or seven years ago, Gideon stayed in country F for a period of time. At that time, he happened to meet her and saved her."

Oh...

That was it!

Nell suddenly realized.

Yvette smiled and said, "I was a little girl at the time. How could I have dealt with so much? If it weren't for Brother Deon’s secret protection, I might have died there long ago."

After finishing speaking, she added. "At that time, I was bitten by a giant venomous snake and my whole body was paralyzed. Brother Deon sucked out the poison and stayed with me all night, only did I survive. We’re really comrades-in-arms who have shared weal and woe."

"I say, the relationship between you two is so good now, probably was forged during that time! I’ve always heard that Young Master Leith is cold and difficult to approach, only you can keep talking to him."

Yvette smiled sweetly. "Brother Deon is cold? That's because you aren’t familiar with him. I think he’s quite nice."

"You only know how to defend him.”

The people at the table laughed happily and Nell also echoed them with a faint smile but her heart felt cold.

At this moment, the servants made fresh tea and brought it up.

"Sister-in-law, please try it. This is the top-grade Drunk Immortal tea that I specially got from my dad. He likes it. When I saw it was good tea, I quickly thought of getting it for you all to try."

The old lady smiled and said, "Won’t you get a scolding if you brought out the good stuff from your dad?”

"No such thing! My dad is filial to you! He just doesn't have the time. If he’s free, he’ll deliver it by himself."

"You’re really a sweet walker.”

The crowd laughed as the servant poured tea for everyone. Nell picked up the thumb-sized cup and smelled it. There was indeed a fragrance emanating from it.

She had also heard the name of the Drunken Immortal tea before. It was a special tea. Only high-level officials in the country had a taste of it. Of course, the Leith family had it too but it was with Old Master Leith.

Knowing that she and Gideon were not keen on tea, Old Master Leith was not willing to take it out for them. Every time he felt like having some, he only made a cup for himself.

"Nelly, how about you taste this tea?" The old lady smiled at her.

Nell tasted it. It was slightly bitter and it gave off a fragrance after being swirled on the palate. Other than being sweeter than other teas, it was not that much different.

Of course, she would not tell the truth so shamelessly. Instead, she just smiled and nodded."It's very good. No wonder it's a special tea and it’s really different from what we usually drink."

The old lady smiled in satisfaction after hearing this. At this moment, a servant who came to add tea to her cup suddenly trembled, and the pot of freshly made tea suddenly spilled on Nell's body.

"Oh! What have you done? Don't you have eyes?"

Yvette suddenly screamed and then asked Nell quickly, "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Are you scalded?"

Although the tea was very hot, Nell was fine because her eyes and hands had been quick to avoid it, so not much had splashed on her body. Even though she got a lot of it on her skirt, it did not hurt too much.

"It's okay."

As soon as Nell's voice was heard, the maid started crying, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Leith. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 "What's the use of apologizing? Can you bear this responsibility after burning my sister-in-law?" Yvette said insincerely.

The servant suddenly became more frightened, standing there with her head down. Her eyes were flushed with fright and her body trembled.

However, Nell could not bear it, so she assured the crowd. "I'm fine. My clothes are just wet and I’m not hurt. It’s just an accident, it’s okay."

Upon hearing her say this, Yvette gradually lost her arrogance.

The old lady frowned and said to the servant, "Be careful next time, alright?"

The servant nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Old Madam, I won't repeat my mistake.”

"Let Yvie take you for a change of clothes. Since both of you are almost the same height, you should be able to wear her clothes."

The old lady told Yvette to bring her for a change of clothes.

Nell peered down at her skirt and noticed that the place where it had gotten wet was just below the waist. It was indeed a bit unsightly to dress like this, so she nodded.

Yvette immediately stood up when she saw this and said with a smile, "I just bought a few new ones yesterday, Sister-in-law. Come with me."
