NovelOnlineChapter 221 Two sharp knocks echoed at the door.
"Simon? It's me." Was it Simon's mother outside? Elsie quickly adjusted her clothes and rushed to answer the door. With a faint smile, she opened it. "Hello, Mrs. Fitzgerald and Ms. Fitzgerald." Helena and Sarah barely glanced at her as they brushed past and entered the room.
"Bring our things inside." As the middle-aged man hauled in a pile of bags and packages, Elsie gritted her teeth, battling to keep her composure. She had paid for the suite, which was worth a month's rent, yet Helena and Sarah acted as though they owned the place, showing no respect or consideration.

Once the door was closed behind her, she confronted him. "Your mom and sister are here, and they're hauling in all their stuff. What's going on? Are they planning to stay?" "The suite has two other rooms. Just make space for them temporarily. Why are you making such a big deal about it?" Simon replied casually.
"Simon, I paid for this suite. You should've at least askedfirst. And if you're giving them the other rooms, where am I supposed to stay?" "Aren't you staying with me?" Elsie felt a pang in her chest. After everything with Amelia, she wasn't sure she wanted to share a room with Simon anymore.
She quickly cup with a lie. "I'm on my period, so we can't sleep together." "I'm not going to touch you," Simon responded, his voice filled with impatience. Elsie pressed on with her excuse, saying, "It's not about whether you touchor not. You know the old saying-sleeping together during a lady's period could affect your luck. Whether it's true or not, it's better to be safe. With only one room left, they'll simply have to make do." Simon frowned and gave her lower abdomen a contemptuous glance as if she were something distasteful. Elsie's anger flared, her patience nearly shattering.
Suddenly, the sound of things being moved outside caught her attention. Elsie stormed out, and what she saw made her blood run cold.
"Mrs. Fitzgerald, that room is mine. Yours is the one on the left." Sarah crossed her arms. "Seriously, Elsie? Can't you show srespect to your elders? That room is too small for my mom. Even I feel cramped in there." Elsie forced a smile. "Ms. Fitzgerald, I think you misunderstood. I meant for both of you to stay in the left room." f "What?" Sarah snapped. "You expectand my mom to squeeze into that tiny room? Do you have any respect for us? If you want to be with my brother, you'd better start being more considerate ando respectful!" This little bitch certainly knew how to twist things and play the guilt card.
Elsie could no longer hold back. Crossing her arms, she sneered, "Sorry, but I'm the one who paid for this place.
If you want to stay, go ahead. If not, feel free to book your own room." "Simon!" Helena's voice rang out. "Simon, look at what Elsie is doing! She " Elsie had no patience for Helena's self-importance. She was acting as if she had any real authority.

Stepping forward, she cut her off and said, "Mrs. Fitzgerald, letmake one thing absolutely clear-Simon is ve rece only able to restart his company because of me. The money I invested, the goodsmy father supplied, and the IM seamstresses I secured for him are the sole reasons he's back on his feet.
"If you'd rather see him lose everything and end up back on the streets, be my guest." Among all the women in Simon's life, Elsie was the only one who dared to stand up to Helena.
Helena's chest rose and fell with fury. "H-How dare you-"
Elsie didn't give her the chance to finish. "Letremind you-I'm not Janice, and I'm not Amelia If youn Ameliadfoun think you can walk all overlike you did with them, you're in for a rude awakening. Try making my life difficult, and I guarantee yours will be even worse. Do you understand?" For the first time, Helena was at a loss for words. No woman in Simon's life had ever dared to speak to her this way.
Nonetheless, Elsie's words hit where it hurt the most-Helena's and Sarah's comfortable lives were entirely tied to Simon's success. Helena's eyes burned with fury as she shot Elsie a withering glare.
