CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 180: A TOAD LUSTING AFTER SWAN MEAT

"Hmm." Willow Grant wiped away her tears and put on a carefree expression, saying, "I didn’t know before, but now I know he has someone he likes, so I won’t bother him anymore. Mrs. Stone, I know you want me to be your daughter-in-law, but maybe I’m just not that lucky..."

Willow Grant’s words were direct yet gracefully spoken, leaving Susan Stone extremely satisfied.

She couldn’t help but ask, "It’s I who am not blessed enough... But do you know who he likes? Not just anyone can enter the Knight Family. In my heart, you’re still the most suitable to be my daughter-in-law!"

Willow pretended to recall, saying, "That girl is quite pretty, wearing the uniform of the Midnight Coffee House... I think she must be an employee there."

"What?!" Susan Stone raised her voice: "The Midnight Coffee House uniform? She’s a waitress??!"

Susan Stone’s face turned dark, filled with disbelief.

Willow nodded and said, "If I didn’t see it wrong, she’s a waitress at the Midnight Coffee House. Because she was wearing the coffee house uniform... If she weren’t an employee, why would she wear a uniform?"

"Outrageous! Outrageous!!" Susan Stone paced angrily, saying: "What kind of family is the Knight Family? A waitress dreaming of marrying into the Knight Family?! Ridiculous, a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

Willow saw Susan Stone losing her usual composure as the Knight family’s matron, completely enraged, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This was exactly what she wanted to see.

Without Susan Stone’s approval, what use is there in the little waitress being pretty and favored by Damian Knight?

A few years ago, her father, feeling young and impetuous, also found a pretty mistress outside.

The mistress was arrogant and showed off in front of her mother.

But in the end? Because of her humble origins, the family’s elders pressured her so much that she couldn’t stay in Rivain and left in disgrace.

This is the advantage of status.

A sparrow is always a sparrow, even if it flies to the top of a branch, it is just a little sparrow that can’t stay there for long.

At this moment, the butler hurriedly approached.

"Madam." He was about to report to Susan Stone, but upon seeing Willow standing nearby, he swallowed his words.

Willow, understanding the situation, said, "Mrs. Stone, the semester is about to start, I’ll head to my room to review."

She was enrolled in the elite class at Crestfall University, which differed from regular universities in that it conducted monthly exams. If she didn’t perform well, she might not receive a degree from Crestfall University.

She prided herself on her good grades, but had heard that the elite class’s courses and exams were very challenging, so she couldn’t be careless.

"No need." Susan Stone held her back: "You’re not an outsider; you don’t need to avoid this."

Since the other party was merely a waitress who couldn’t be presented openly, Willow Grant remained her top choice for the future young mistress of the Knight Family.

Susan Stone slightly raised her chin, signaling with her eyes for the butler to speak directly.

The butler, seeing Susan Stone say this, had no choice but to proceed: "You asked me to look into who has been interacting with the young master recently. I’ve found out. This is her photo."

The butler handed over the photo.

Susan Stone had seen countless beautiful debutantes, and she casually glanced at the photo—

A coffee shop waitress, how pretty could she be?

However, in the next moment, Susan Stone’s eyes widened in shock.
