Before she could finish her sentence, Winry immediately swallowed the latter half of her coquettish words. This was because the person approaching wasn’t Michael but an old man instead.
With one glance, Winry recognized him as Jorvan, the old butler who had been by Michael’s side the other day. A surge of fury welled up in her once again.
The one who had ordered the bodyguards to tear off her clothes back then was this old geezer!
Banking on her status as the future Mrs. Jaywalker, she promptly dropped her coquettish facade and began to scold him arrogantly, “Why is it you, old servant? Where’s Mr. Jaywalker?”
Jorvan was stunned briefly before almost fainting in anger.
He was a devoted servant who had attended to Ronald himself! Forget about Michael, even Terrence held him in high respect. And this young girl dared to call him “old servant?”
Immediately feeling a stronger distaste for Winry, Jorvin said in an indifferent tone. “Mr. Jaywalker has instructed you to refrain from casually visiting Jaywalker Group in the future. Also, mind your own tongue. He doesn’t want to hear you spreading rumors about Ms. Josephine anymore!”
Winry paused for a moment, disbelief seeping into her voice as she blurted out, “Did Mr. Jaywalker call me over just for this?”
“You may leave now,” Jorvan said, not wanting to waste another word on her. He then turned and walked
away.
Indeed, Michael had called her over precisely to tell her this!
It took a few seconds for Winry to regain her composure as sheer frustration and annoyance spread through her. She had spent the entire day meticulously getting ready, even planning out the perfect pose on the bed, only to be dismissed just like that!
She absolutely refused to believe it!
She rushed forward, seizing Jorvan’s arm. “You’re spouting nonsense! Mr. Jaywalker personally called me last night, saying he wanted to meet me!”
“Let go!” Jorvan almost fainted from the overpowering scent of her perfume. He shook her off and continued, “Mr. Michael only instructed me to deliver you this message; he didn’t ask to see you!”
Winry was extremely upset that even the servants of the Jaywalker family dared to boss her around. Immediately, she pointed at Jorvan and shrieked, “I’m the future Mrs. Jaywalker, so you’d better start treating me with some respect!”
Initially, Jorvan didn’t feel much, but now he was utterly repulsed by this woman. He couldn’t help but compare Winry to Josephine in his mind.
The more he observed, the more he appreciated Josephine’s sensibility and charm. This arrogant woman couldn’t even compare to the heel of Josephine’s foot!
“You? You think you could marry Mr. Michael?”

come and keep him company tonight.”
She could spin a lie without batting an eye.
Jorvan paused in his steps, caught between belief and doubt.

Just last night, as soon as Josephine had left, Michael had immediately followed suit, driving around the city all night in search of her. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t find her anywhere. When he returned at dawn, his mood was indeed very low. Could it be that be had really callerl Winry over to lift his spirits?
He looked at Winry with a serious expression. “Wait here while Lask Mr. Michael.”
Having said that, he headed upstairs.
Winry let out a sigh of relief, grateful that she had managed to stay. She then commanded, “Bring me a cup of tea.”
Zendaya came out carrying a cup of tea and set it down heavily.
With a clatter, the scalding tea splashed onto Winry’s dress.
Winary let out a scream.
Pretending not to hear, Zendaya simply walked away.
It was this woman who slandered Josephine in front of Michael yesterday, resulting in her being driven
away.
Winry was deeply irritated, her eyebrows knitting in frustration.
These servants of the Jaywalker residence are unbearably arrogant. All of them disregard me. Once I become Mrs. Jaywalker, my first order of business will be to dismiss these ro old relics.
The living room fell silent. Jorvan hadn’t come down yet.
Suddenly, a thought struck Winry.
She knew that Michael was upstairs.
Winry rose to her feet, stealthily making her way toward the second floor.
In the vast Jaywalker residence, there were only two servants, making it easy for Winry to slip up to the second floor.
Michael’s bedroom door was slightly ajar, with silence reigning within.
Summoning her courage, Winry pushed open the door. After a quick glance confirmed no one was inside. she slipped in.
The room was impressively large, adorned with an extravagant white cashmere carpet. Winry looked around with envy, touching here and there.”
She pulled open the door to the walk–in closet and was immediately left speechless by what she saw!
Michael’s bedroom was adorned in a simple nalette of Hack white and prav a true embodiment of

High–end women’s clothing filled her sight, ranging from sleepwear to outerwear. The price tags on each item boasted a minimum of five figures, all of them brand new, with even the tags still intact!
Winry was left speechless, her eyes wide in shock as she turned to look at the side.
Inside the cabinet next to her were all sorts of brand–new, luxurious handbags for women. There was even a custom VIP Chanel bag that hadn’t yet hit the market that year,
Pulling open another door, it was filled to the brim with brand–new women’s shoes. A good forty to fifty pairs, all from high–end brands!
In the neighboring display case, dozens of pricey jewels sparkled under the light. Any single piece was worth well over a million!
