What did Cyril say to Maria? How come she's so willing to leave like it's nothing?! Doris thought unhappily to herself.

She didn't know that the Jenkins family's wealth, which Cyril had boasted about, had never attracted Maria.

It was only because of the letter sent by Clark and Denis that made Maria agree to come here in the first place.

As a result, Maria was able to play hard to get, while Doris had no choice but to fall into her trap.

Doris forced herself to smile.

“Miss Maria, you've all been summoned for a purpose. How could you Leave when you haven't even gone through the door and meet her ladyship? It was me who had been rude just now. Miss Maria, I apologize."

Hesitantly, Doris sank her head as a gesture of sincerity. Of course, Maria wouldn't leave. She just nodded and said, "Okay. Just do what you need to do.”

When Doris saw that Maria decided to stay, she snorted secretly. Let's wait and see! One day, I'll teach you a Lesson! She thought to herself.

After that, Doris introduced the situation to everyone present.

It turned out that their cars just parked at the periphery of the Jenkins family's manor. None of them had really entered the manor yet, so it completely made sense why the walls and gates looked so dilapidated.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry that you have to stay in the outer courtyard today. We'll go back to the manor and see her ladyship tomorrow.”

After saying that, Doris turned to Cyril and winked.

“Cyril, arrange the rooms for them, will you? Although the conditions in the outer courtyard aren't that good, you still have to carefully choose the rooms. Don't let them feel that they're being neglected."

Cyril's eyes jumped from Doris to Maria. Immediately, he understood what Doris meant.

He nodded his head ever so slightly and left to do what he was told.

The so-called outer courtyard of the Jenkins family manor was completely incompatible with the wealth and status of the Jenkins family.

When the summoned clansmen, including Vivian and Bill, learned that they could only stay here for the night before seeing the matriarch tomorrow, an ugly expression formed on their faces.

Some were even grumbling and complaining.

“Doris, we can go out and stay in a hotel by ourselves for a night. We'll pay for it out of our own pockets."

Just now, when they entered the outer courtyard area, they saw facilities that they would only see in a farm, Like vegetable gardens and cow pens.

Obviously, the Jenkins looked down on the fruits and vegetables being sold in the market probably because they had a lot of pesticide residue. To avoid this, they chose to be self-sufficient and grow their own food. After all, they had a lot of Land on their disposal.

However, the problem with this was that the cowshed that supplied fresh milk and the vegetable garden where the farmyard manure was being deposit all emitted a stench.

The dormitory in the outer courtyard where Doris wanted them to stay for the night turned out to be a dilapidated two-story building next to the cowshed.

Although the small building had more than a dozen rooms, half of them were piled up with tools needed to raise cattle. Only a few contained double beds. With their numbers, that meant most of them had to share a room with another person.
