A Rose 560
Chapter 560.
"Wilson is so filial to Mrs. Quinn Senior, and today is her birthday. Why would he leave so early?"
Noticing the puzzled look on Victoria's face, Tracy quickly chimed in. "Indeed. Mr. Quinn has always been incredibly respectful to Mrs. Quinn Senior. This is the first time he's not by her side on her birthday. I bet Yvette is behind this. She's trying to keep him away from her."
After the incident at the mall, Tracy knew she had offended Yvette. The more she thought about it, the more she realized her only option was to support Victoria. If Yvette became the lady of the Quinn family, Tracy's future would be bleak.
Victoria, on the other hand, was different. Her innocence made her easy to manipulate. Years ago, Martha had assigned Tracy to take care of Victoria.
Victoria had always been grateful for the care, obediently following Tracy's advice on most matters. Once Victoria became the lady of the Quinn family, Tracy's status would rise alongside it, elevating her position within the household.
Although Tracy's intentions were clear to Victoria, she chose to feign ignorance.
"Mrs. Lynch, please don't say such things. Yvie would never do that."
Tracy replied disdainfully, "Ms. Olson, you are too innocent and kind-hearted! Who else could make Mr. Quinn leave during Mrs. Quinn Senior's birthday celebration? Yvette is taking advantage of his affection for her and is acting brazenly.
"And let's not forget that just two days ago, she snatched away the gift you had chosen for Mrs. Quinn Senior's birthday. Yvette is already so arrogant before she's even a part of the Quinns, so just imagine how much worse it will be once she is!"
Although Tracy didn't speak loudly, it was clear enough for the nearby household staff to hear. They handled menial tasks outside the main residence and weren't allowed inside.
However, unlike others who looked down on them, Victoria treated the household staff with kindness, speaking to them gently and leaving a positive impression. They immediately believed Victoria without hesitation, and their impression of Yvette quickly soured as they began to whisper among themselves.
“Ms. Murray has such poor character! Who does she think she is?"
"Exactly. She called Mr. Quinn away during Mrs. Quinn Senior's birthday and bullied Ms. Olson. It's simply outrageous!"novelbin
"In my view, only Ms. Olson is worthy of Mr. Quinn. Ms. Murray isn't fit to be the future lady of the Quinn family."
"I feel the same way."
This was often how a person's reputation began to tarnish. Victoria smirked and cast an appreciative glance at Tracy before entering Quinn Manor.
"Mrs. Quinn Senior."
Martha smiled warmly upon seeing Victoria. "You're here."
Victoria returned her smile as she presented her gift. "Happy birthday! This is a small gift from me. It's nothing extravagant, so I hope you won't mind."
"Don't say that. How could I ever dislike a gift from you?"
Martha chuckled as she accepted the present and handed it to the butler to put away. "I'm happy to know you're so thoughtful."
