Chapter 27 Resentment
George felt deeply wronged as he watched Holly leave, abandoning the luxury goods on the coffee table, which seemed out of place.
Kate lazily adjusted her posture on the sofa. After Holly departed from the Summer Estate, Kate glanced at George and softly chuckled, “George, do you harbor any resentment?”
George, feeling his emotions stirred, inwardly snorted in anger. However, he maintained a cold. facade, showing no genuine emotion. “No.”
Observing George’s impeccable emotional control, Kate nodded inwardly.
He was indeed chosen by Eric. His ability to manage his expressions and emotions was exceptional. Even if he was seething inside, he appeared unfazed on the surface.
Kate calmly sat up, poured herself a cup of tea, and remarked, “Do you truly believe I would let Holly off so easily?”
George was momentarily surprised, his demeanor still composed, as he coldly responded, “I have no authority to interfere in any decisions made by you, madam.”
Kate gazed deeply at George, poured a cup of tea for him, and pushed it towards him, “Chrysanthemum tea calms you down.”
George was silent for a moment.
George regarded Kate with a complex expression.
Since the day Kate had confronted Eric with harsh words, he found it difficult to discern her intentions.
She was suddenly pleasing Mr. Eric, and their relationship quickly warmed. She intervened to reprimand Simon, prevented Ruth from entering the Summer Estate, intercepted Holly today, only to then let her go..
As George pondered silently over his tea, Kate’s voice floated gently once more, “Do you know Holly’s true identity?”
Puzzled by her question, George looked at Kate suspiciously and replied after some thought, “She is Ruth’s birth mother.”
While this fact was not a secret in the Summer Estate, Kate alone seemed unaware or indifferent.
Kate sighed inwardly. It appeared that George and the others were aware of Holly’s identity, yet they tolerated her presence in the Summer Estate, She, too, had turned a blind eye, even when she knew Holly had stolen from the Summer Estate and departed.
What concern was it of Kate’s if Holly had pilfered from Eric?

Seeing Kate lost in thought, George tentatively called out,
“Madam?”
Kate snapped back to reality, her expression once again cold, “Keep a close watch on her. Instead of banishing her, it’s better to monitor her closely and see what trouble she and Ruth can incite.”
“Moreover, she has been in Summer Estate for three years. I fear she may have taken more than just these few items.”
Kate’s slender index finger tapped lightly on the coffee table as she said, “Inspect all the items in the storage room, and then…
She motioned for George to approach, and after whispering a few words to him, his expression shifted dramatically. He solemnly bowed to her. “Yes, madam.”
As George departed, he was still perplexed. However, recalling Kate’s instructions, his mind quickly cleared. He promptly relayed the information to Eric and hastened towards the storage.

After organizing George’s tasks, Kate lounged lazily on the sofa. She cradled a tablet in her arms, browsing online information about Ruth and Simon..
