StarNovelChapter 148 "Sfolks are just so double-standard, aren't they? Arabella can comfortably stay with the Hawke family, but Miranda can't live with her adoptive family?" Lavinia furrowed her brows as she scrolled through the posts online. "Sweetie, look at this. These people online really can't tell right from wrong. What are they even talking about?" Miranda calmly poured Lavinia a cup of tea. It was her latest creation, a beauty-enhancing blend with a touch of herbal leaves known for their rejuvenating properties. It was not just refreshing, but also great for a radiant complexion and boosting energy.
Setting her phone aside, Lavinia instructed, "Nina, take care of those nasty comments online." William nodded. "Got it." Miranda chuckled. "No need. I don't really care." William glanced at Lavinia for her opinion. Lavinia frowned. "That's not okay. I won't let anyone badmouth my daughter." Without further discussion, William turned to handle the matter.

Miranda asked, "Hasn't he ever thought about switching jobs?" Lavinia looked slightly offended. "Why would he? I pay him well." Miranda skeptically asked, "Does he also take care of your daily needs?" Miranda wasn't usually one for gossip, but when it was practically handed to her, she couldn't resist asking.
For instance, she'd seen William making Lavinia's bed and preparing breakfast just this morning. Though there were servants to make breakfast, William had made special plate just for Lavinia sw.n Lavinia nodded. "Yes, he's been doing that all these years. Otherwise, why would I pay him such a high salary?" Miranda cleared her throat. "Any other services?" Lavinia hesitated, and then averted her gaze as she answered, her expression awkward, "Occasionally." Miranda had asked casually, but Lavinia's answer nearly caused her to spit out her tea.
Well, that was something. No wonder Lavinia was such a boss lady.
William might not be the classic handstype, but he had a charm that grew on you. He was the kind of good looking that you appreciated more over time.
A social elite, with a top-notch education, model-like stature, and a knack for getting things done efficiently. For someone with Lavinia's high standards, he was a perfect match.

Lavinia was a staunch proponent of not getting married, so having a man around seemed perfectly normal to Miranda.
Everyone had needs, right? Still, learning that William was hero m godmother's secret fling was a bit surprising to her. "But there's nothing romantic between us. I value his capability at work more." Coughing lightly, Lavinia then took a delicate sip from the cup Miranda had poured.
"William is definitely competent," Miranda agreed with a nod.
Lavinia whispered, "Just keep this between us, okay? Don't mention it to him. He might seem all serious, but he can be a bit touchy." Lavinia had no secrets from Miranda. It wasn't something to be ashamed of.
So, when Miranda asked, Lavinia answered. Her daughter was smart; she could figure things out easily.
