Chapter: 1450

As long as it didn't damage the Wilson family's reputation, she remained indifferent to the rumors. She knew that in time, they would be overtaken by new gossip.

After freshening up, Norah descended to the first-floor living room where her parents were gathered.

The villa had been hastily tidied by the servants the night before to make it habitable, but it was evident that a more thorough cleaning was needed.

Bernice was seated on the sofa, convening a meeting with all the servants.

Those who wished to stay were welcome to, and those who preferred to leave could collect their final wages from the butlers.

The new butlers were Gilda and Chayce; they had decided to step back from the corporate world.

Gilda confessed that managing company affairs was not her forte.

After years of reluctantly running the company, she found it overly burdensome.

Now that Calvin and Bernice had returned, she was relieved to take on a simpler role at the villa.

Chayce, lacking any particular ambitions, chose to support his girlfriend's decision, as the couple was inseparable.

Bernice, appreciating their loyalty, promptly appointed them as the new butlers. The purpose of the meeting was to identify and address any disloyalty among the staff.

As Norah finished her breakfast, Bernice approached, her appearance the epitome of elegance with a stylish outfit, tasteful jewelry, a neat haircut, and subtle makeup, embodying the sophistication of a lady of the house.

Settling into her seat, Bernice brushed her hair behind her ear and said, "We have quite a few servants here. I've instructed Gilda to manage them effectively and remove anyone still Loyal to Iker."

Norah nodded. "Just manage these things yourselves. There's no need to keep me updated. As you know, I have a place at Dreamview Villas, so I might not spend much time here."

Another reason was Sean's proximity; he lived in Dreamview Villas.

Residing with her parents would result in not being able to be near Sean, drastically reducing their chances to meet.

Bernice smiled with understanding and said, "I know. Sean is a nice young man. You two should spend more time together."

Calvin finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He smiled, "Norah, you really have good taste in choosing your partner. Sean is one of the finest young men around. I fully support you two being together."

Bernice teased, “Have you pondered your wedding plans?"

“Mom, we haven't thought about that yet," Norah replied honestly.

She wasn't ready to consider another marriage so soon; her relationship with Sean needed more time to develop.

Calvin suggested, "Take your time to develop your relationship first. We haven't spent much time together as a family yet, and I'm not ready to let him take you away so quickly."

“Exactly, Norah, don't rush into accepting a proposal. I can tell Sean is getting ready to propose," Bernice stated.
