Chapter 473 Shameless and Greedy Woman

Once certain thoughts arise, they will take root and grow rapidly within a short period of time

Just like after I made up my mind to apologize to Joe, I spent the whole night in a half- dreaming and half-awake state, pondering on how to explain my misconduct to him

But to be honest, when Aaron told me that everything was planned by him and Joe, I felt a sense of relief and reassurance in addition to feeling guilty about my attitude towards Joe

Because I knew that I was not fighting alone in New York

I could discuss everything with Joe and even get to know all the recent updates about Aaron from him. As long as he was there, I could confidently carry out all the action plans Aaron told me

As a brother, Joe was our only support in New York

This is what Aaron told me, and it is also the most reassuring sentence

So the next morning, I went to Morris! mansion with a faint dark circle under my eyes due to a lack of sleep. In my heart, I was filled not only with guilt but also with excitement

I couldn't wait to do everything well in New York. After all, starting this mission meant that I could see Aaron quickly after it was over

However, when I stepped into the mansion, the first person I saw in the living room was Maria, who was supposed to be taking care of Mr

Morris in the hospital

I rarely had moments alone with her, which made me feel extremely awkward. Especially after she changed her name back to Maria as Aaron requested, I didn't know how to address her anymore. So I simply avoided any places where I could meet her alone

Of course, Maria was the same. During the time after we returned to New York, she always behaved very low-key, nothing like the stepmother in the story who took over everything that belonged to Mrs. Grace. Instead, she always left me with an image of being cautious in everything. Over time, I also got used to not caring about her

But this time, something seemed a little different

I walked into the living room and was momentarily stunned when I saw her. Then, out of politeness, I smiled and nodded at her as I always did, and greeted her, "Good morning, madam."

But she didn't respond as she used to in a low-key manner. Instead, she stood up directly and unabashedly looked me up and down, with the same scrutinizing gaze that I had accidentally noticed the first time I saw her

"It's only 8 o'clock in the morning now, what are you doing at my house?"

Her subsequent question made me feel very uncomfortable. Even in the past, she would secretly scrutinize me with that kind of gaze, but

when we were face to face, she was always polite and distant

But this time she was sharp and didn't hide her unwelcome tone at all, leaving me stunned in place for a full two seconds before I remembered to respond, "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have disturbed you in the morning, but I need to see Joe. Before he leaves for work, I think I should meet him."

It seems that Mr. Morris's decision to give me the shares was not discussed with her, which made her furious and unable to pretend to be a kind stepmother in front of me. I can only understand it this way in my heart, otherwise I can't understand why her attitude towards me has changed overnight like this

To be honest, Maria's questioning just now was enough to make me angrily curse at her. After

all, Morris Manor is partly ours in name as well, me and Aaron. Even though we have moved out, as long as Aaron carries the Morris family name, we can come back anytime

But I didn't say that to Maria because I suddenly remembered Aaron's instructions on the phone yesterday. I should now play the role of a woman who has almost lost her husband, so I tried to control my temper, explained to her with a smile, and even apologized

I didn't expect Maria to not appreciate the staircase I gave her at all. She didn't want to come out of the position of the superior and directly mocked, saying, "Are you here to replace Joe so early in the morning? You really know how to manipulate his feelings! Don't think I can't see through you. You're trying to seduce Joe just because you lost Aaron. But don't forget, not all men from the Morris family are

fools. Please put away your greed as soon as possible!"

I was momentarily confused, furrowing my brow as I looked at Maria, but this display was seen as feigning innocence in her eyes

She snorted coldly and gave me a disdainful look, showing impatience

"Could it be that I wrongly accused you, Olive? I'm not a fool either, I can see that Joe has been completely fooled by you. If it wasn't for you intentionally seducing him, why would he ignore my advice and readily agree when his father proposed giving you ten percent of the shares?"

I was once truly blinded by you, not knowing that you were such a shameless and greedy woman. Even tens of millions of annual

dividends couldn't satisfy you. You actually set your sights on the shares mentioned by his father!"
