Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They pondered the situation, and Winona’s words seemed to make sense.
Eileen and her family hadn't contributed anything here, perhaps indicating a lack of respect for the Baker
family’s modest business.
“Bailee, what are you doing? Bring sfruit over here!” Winona, noticing Bailee was unoccupied, called out
with evident dissatisfaction.
Bailee quickly went to the kitchen to fetch sfruit and returned. “Ladies, if there's anything you'd like, just let
“Why should we tell you?” Winona retorted sharply. “Is this your lodge? Don’t pretend to be a part of our family
here.”
Bailee’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
Her conflict with Winona remained unresolved, but for Huey’s sake, she tried to avoid any argument with
Winona.
She had thought Winona had asked her to assist here to make their relationship better, which was why she had
invited Eileen and the others. However, now, it seemed that was not the case.

Someone else couldn't bear it and stepped in to defend Winona. “Huey, this isn’t like you. You shouldn't speak to
your mother that way.”
“Yeah, your mother is the one who gave birth to you. How can you treat her like that?”
“Why did you say that to your mother? Are you scared of your wife? She doesn’t seem that capable.”
This last remark suggested that Bailee was insignificant and not close to Eileen, implying there was no reason for
Huey to be intimidated by her.
“She might not look capable, but she runs an educational institution with over ten thousand staff members,”
Eileen said, stepping up to stand beside Bailee and draping an arm around her shoulders. “What the Baker family
