Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 377

The traffic thinned out when night came, and they came back to Flintstone Residence not long later. After the servant rang the doorbell and talked to the guy inside, they opened the gates for the car.

Matilda was in her room, frustrated. She tried to call the mercenary today, but nobody took the call. Did they do it? At least give me an update! She kept pacing back and forth until her servant came knocking. “What is it?” she said impatiently.

The servant said, “Old Mrs. Constance is here. You might want to see her.”

Matilda was stunned. “She’s here?”

Isn’t it supposed to be William? “Is William here?” she asked.

“No. Only her and her servant,” the servant replied flatly.

Matilda felt annoyed. She left the Constance Residence because of the fight with William. Why’s he asking his mom to pick me up? When she recalled the look of disdain Old Mrs. Constance gave her during the fight with William, she was vexed. Deciding to put on airs, she said, “No. I won’t go down unless William’s apologizing.”

The servant waited for a little while longer before going away, leaving Matilda alone and fuming. William had never done this to her. No matter what happened, he would always end up apologizing if she got angry, but now he slapped her just for Sophia.

The thought of that irked her. William wasn’t the only one to slap her that day; Sophia did too. Nobody had ever done that to her in her life, so she couldn’t let it slide this easily, not unless William apologized and repented for his actions.

Thus, Matilda stayed in her room, and a while later, the servant came knocking again. “The madam wants you downstairs, miss.”

My mother wants me down there? All the more reason she didn’t want to be there. Her mother kept chastising her during dinner earlier, saying she was a socially inept and ungrateful lady. “At this rate, you’re going to run yourself into a wall.”

Matilda was frustrated to hear that. How could she say that when I’m the one who’s hurt? She wouldn’t go down now, or else her mother would reprimand her in front of Old Mrs. Constance. I’m not an idiot. There’s no way I’m going down just for that. “No! Just leave me alone!” she shouted.

Hearing this, the servant left again. As she lay on her bed, Matilda took her phone out, wanting to call William. No, If I do that, that means I’m giving up. At the thought of that, she held her urge back and put her phone down.

A while later, someone banged on the door. This is someone else. Before she could say anything, her mother demanded, “Get out right now!”

Matilda snorted silently. Oh, so she’s coming to me instead, huh? She ignored her mother, remaining on the bed, and after a few more bangs, everything went quiet.

A few minutes later, however, Matilda heard someone unlocking the door, then it was opened, and in came her mother, looking cold.

Matilda sat up, her expression icy. “Do you have to go this far?”
