Chapter 4 Obligations Of The Wife

"No..." Vanessa Shell said weakly. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. She had come this far. Therefore, she must stay in the Yardley family. "I'm just... Ah!" Vanessa shouted. Scott Yardley didn't give her any chance to explain. He pushed her away and said, "I'm disgusted by women like you. You're a sl*t!" After saying that, he turned the wheelchair around and left. He didn't even look at Vanessa who had fallen to the ground. Watching Scott leave, Vanessa bit her lower lip lightly. He stopped saying that he wanted Vanessa to leave the Yardley family. Does this mean she could stay? She wrapped herself in a quilt and got back into bed. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Scott didn't return. Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had succeeded. Vanessa spent the whole night alone in the empty room. It seemed that Scott had accepted her offer. Although they were husband and wife, they had nothing to do with each other. Vanessa got dressed and went downstairs where the servants were busy with their tasks. A broom appeared under her feet just as she was about to ask the servants where the kitchen was. Vanessa lost her balance and fell to the ground. "Ah!" she shouted. All of a sudden, someone grabbed her arms and helped her up. Vanessa looked up and saw someone looking at her with gentleness. "Are you okay? You must be my sister-in- law, Scott's wife right?" "Your sister-in-law?" Vanessa repeated. "I am Scott's eldest brother. My name is Benedict," Benedict Yardley said gently. Someone interrupted them before Vanessa could say anything. "I think I came at the wrong time." The voice... Vanessa looked in the direction of the voice. Sam Sorrento was pushing Scott's wheelchair and Scott was sitting in the wheelchair with a thin blanket over his legs. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still had a domineering demeanour. He looked at Vanessa coldly. Vanessa couldn't help but shiver when she looked into his eyes. Then, she realized that Benedict was still holding her in his arms. She quickly took two steps back to keep a distance from him. She lowered her head guiltily. "Scott, it's rare to see you at home," Benedict said with a smile. However, Scott treated him indifferently. He just nodded his head lightly and greeted him, "Brother." "Well, I'm not going to disturb then," Benedict said. you both After saying that, Benedict looked at Vanessa and said gently, "I have to go to the company. I'll make a move first." Vanessa nodded her head and watched Benedict leave. She heard Scott say sarcastically just as she was about to look away from Benedict, "You've just divorced a man. Are you so desperate to seduce another man?" Upon hearing this, Vanessa suddenly came back to her senses. "What did you say?" Scott glared at her. Vanessa bit her lower lip and said, "I am not as shameless as you think." "Is that so?" Scott sneered. He did not take her seriously at all. "Isn't it shameful for a woman to desperately look for another man right after a divorce?" Vanessa clenched into fists. She was consumed by anger. Was she looking for another man? She was forced to do so. "You'd better keep your promise. You have nothing to do with the members of the Yardley family. You will suffer if you do anything with the Yardley family name. You will also suffer if you are planning something against us," Scott said. Then, he said, "Sam." Sam pushed Scott's wheelchair away. After that, a servant came over and said, "Second Young Madam, the old master wants to see you." Old Master? Was he the grandfather of the Yardley family? She suddenly became nervous.Her mother had said that the members of the Yardley family had never seen Erica Shell before. That was the reason why they dared to let her marry into the Yardley family. Why would the old master want to see her now? Did he discover the truth? Vanessa followed behind the servant nervously. "Second Young Madam, this way please." the servant said. The servant was very humble. Vanessa thanked her and walked into the study room cautiously. The study room looked almost like she imagined it to look. There were all kinds of calligraphy brushes, ink, calligraphy, and paintings on the shelf. There were also some classical ornaments and bookshelves in the room. After glancing at the study room, Vanessa instantly looked at the people in the room. "Nice to meet you, old master." Vanessa looked into the old master's eyes. Old Master Yardley looked her up and down. Vanessa became nervous when she thought of her true identity. She immediately looked down and felt guilty. She had a deal with Scott. However, what should she do if Old Master Yardley realised that she was not Erica Yardley? "Erica." "Yes?" Vanessa raised her head. Then, she lowered her head again when she saw Old Master Yardley staring at her. Old Master Yardley spoke in a serious tone. "Scott has been in poor health since he was a child. As his wife, you must take good care of him. I don't need to teach you your duties as a wife, right?"
