Chapter 793 She Has To Get Rid of Ms. Lang

Queenie was washing vegetables in the kitchen, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She was in a horrible mood.

She wondered why her two daughters had been fraught with obstacles recently.

First, her younger daughter was caught taking drugs and detained in the drug rehab center. Then, her elder daughter’s husband got into an accident.

The Galleria's collapse was no small matter. T Corporation would be ruined if the matter was not handled properly, not to mention that Luke, as its CEO, might be sentenced to prison.

During her hospital visit, she noticed that Luke was not in a good physical condition, and she wondered if he had thought of a solution yet.

Jack might be trying his best to pull some strings, but he was about two years away from retirement, and his relations in the political scene were already starting to distance themselves from him. Also, Jack's impartial attitude had made him many enemies over the years.

Leia, her younger daughter, had always caused her worry. Her personality had changed completely ever since she got out of the drug rehab center. She seemed to be afraid of crowds, and she locked herself in the room all day. She even rejected any invitations to go shopping.

If only she did not have to worry so much about her daughters!

She washed the bones, scraped off any meat, tossed the bones into the boiling pot, then added various seasonings to make soup.

Then, she minced the meat, mixed it with chives, chopped carrots, and some salt, then stirred it into a fine paste. She was going to use that as the filling for the dumplings she was about to make.

Dumplings in soup made for a hearty meal.

Queenie loved dumplings, especially the ones she made herself. She loved cooking, and she would be satisfied if her cooking could make her husband and daughters happy.

She would cook in the kitchen whenever she was troubled. That served as a distraction from whatever was troubling her.

After that, she mixed the ingredients and prepared the dough with a rolling pin.

When Ms. Lang stepped into the kitchen, she saw Queenie's hands deftly churning out paper-thin dumpling skins.

They were arranged neatly on the kitchen counter.

Ms. Lang smiled and stepped forward. "Do you need my help, Madam?" "It's fine, Ms. Lang. There are several stray pieces of laundry on the living room couch. Please put them in the washing machine."

Ms. Lang was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the uncanny scene she saw in Leia's room. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She hesitated if she should inform Queenie about it.

Queenie noticed that Ms. Lang was thinking about something and asked," What's wrong, Ms. Lang? Is there something?"

Ms. Lang remembered Leia's icy gaze, hostile expression, and most importantly her brazen threat. She gulped and decided not to tell Queenie about it.

Even so, she tried to hint at something. "It's nothing, Madam. I... I noticed that Ms. Leia seems to be troubled by something recently, and she always looks tired. You might want to pay more attention to her." "Mm, don't worry. I'll take care of her," Queenie replied.

"I'll be off to do the laundry then. Please call me if you need me," Ms. Lang nodded politely at Queenie, then turned around and left the kitchen.

At the kitchen entrance, she bumped into someone with a pair of eyes as sinister as a venomous snake.

That was Leia!

Despite her shock, Ms. Lang greeted her, "Ms... Ms. Leia." "Mm,” Leia replied coldly and ignored her as she stepped into the kitchen.

Ms. Lang thought that she was lucky for not telling Queenie about what she saw in Leia's bedroom. Otherwise, Leia might overhear that and would make sure that she would not be able to work in the Norman residence anymore.

She knew that she had to be careful in the future.

When Leia saw Ms. Lang walk away hastily, she knew that something was amiss. She did not know if Ms. Lang had noticed Wayne's presence in her room or if Ms. Lang had told her mother anything, but she suspected that Ms. Lang saw something in her room.

She was not going to let that woman stay in the Norman residence anymore!

Leia stepped into the kitchen and saw that her mother had prepared many dumplings. The dumpling skins were translucent, and the pink filling could be faintly seen underneath.

Queenie was an artist. Not only her paintings were beautiful, but even her dumplings looked like works of art. They probably tasted as good as they looked.

"Mom," Leia greeted her mother sweetly as usual and gently hugged her shoulders. "Are you making dumplings? They look so good. I'd like to learn how to make them."

Queenie's motherly instincts gushed forth when her daughter was acting coquettishly toward her. She poked her daughter's forehead with her flourtipped finger. "Alright, I'll teach you everything. At least you'll know how to do some housework by the time you get married, and your future mother-in- law wont make fun of you."

Leia pouted contemptuously.

She was fated to live a life of luxury, and she would only marry a wealthy husband from an influential family. All her needs would be fulfilled by caretakers, so why would there be a need for her to learn how to do housework?

Even so, she washed her hands, dried them, then sat down next to Queenie and learned how to make dumplings.

While making a dumpling, she ventured, "Mom, I think that Ms. Lang has been getting lazy lately. She doesn’t clean the house as thoroughly as she used to, and she's becoming passive. Also, didn't her son's wife give birth to a baby not too long ago? Maybe she'd rather take care of her grandchild, and I think we should let her go. Otherwise, her daughter-in-law might blame her for not taking care of the baby. We should look for another caretaker. What do you think?"

Queenie's hands stopped, and she frowned. "Ms. Lang has been working with us for almost five years. She has a trustworthy character, and she rarely makes any mistakes. As for her grandchild, you don't have to worry about it. Ms. Lang said that her daughter-in-law quit her job to be a full- time mother. Moreover, the baby's other grandmother has already retired, and she has volunteered to take care of

the baby at their house. Ms. Lang is working to pay for her son's family expenses. They won't blame her for neglecting the baby."

Leia had no reply to that. She smiled but did not say anything.

However, the gears in her mind were whirring. She had to get rid of Ms. Lang as soon as possible!

On Luke's fifth day in the hospital, Gale and Rain paid him a visit, bringing good news that could help T Corporation out of its crisis!
