Falling For My Billionaire Savior - Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Delilah's expression softened a bit when I agreed.
Everyone leaving for work said they'd be back early that afternoon and told me to just do my best and not worry.
Helen had really crossed Delilah this time. Having me handle the meal for Richard's girlfriend's first visit was such an obvious slight. It left Helen completely humiliated.
Helen stayed until everyone left, then turned around, and went back to her room. She didn't come out all morning.
I didn't have time to think about how she felt. I spent almost the whole day busy with the house decorations and dinner preparations.
No matter who Richard brought home, as Mason's wife, I had to do what I was supposed to do.
Delilah and Martin came back early. Richard went to pick up his girlfriend. Mason said he was too busy with work to return.
Joey hadn't been home all day. Her phone was off, and no one knew where she'd gone.
The doorbell rang. A maid hurried to answer it. Richard had brought back a very pretty girl.
She was around 20, petite with a round, cute little face.
With her standing next to Richard, they made a lovely couple. He was handsome, while she was beautiful. When she smiled, there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth. A real beauty.
Richard first introduced his girlfriend to everyone in the family. Then he announced, "This is my girlfriend, Moira Duke."
Delilah thought the girl looked familiar. She asked, "Moira, have we met somewhere before?"
"Mrs. Delilah Knight, don't you remember? Last year, my mom and I attended your birthday party. You said I was smart and pretty. You gave me this." Moira pulled a necklace out from under her collar. There was a sapphire pendant on it.
Delilah suddenly remembered. "Yes. I remember now. You're Mr. Duke's daughter."
Richard had really done well. His girlfriend was not only beautiful but also from a decent family.
Not just Martin and Helen were overjoyed. Even Delilah's attitude toward the girl had a hint of deference.
"Delilah, which Mr. Duke?" Helen asked eagerly, right in front of Moira.
Delilah ignored her. She took Moira's hand and kept chatting.
Martin nudged Helen and whispered, "Director of the city's Office of Personnel Management. Same level as Edward."
As soon as Martin finished speaking, Helen perked right up like she'd been given a shot of energy. It'd always been that way—merchants couldn't compare with officials. Richard had gotten a girlfriend from such a family. Helen was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
Helen ordered me in a bold voice, "Go check if the dishes in the kitchen are ready. And cut up some fruit to bring over."
On a normal day, Helen wouldn't dare talk to me like that in front of Delilah.
But things were different now. After all, her son had done well in landing a director's daughter as his girlfriend. Her status was way higher than mine as I was from a washed-up merchant family.
Delilah didn't say a word against it. I kept my head down, agreed, and headed to the kitchen.
Well, I'd cut fruit. I could take the rough with the smooth.
Listening to the laughter and chat from the living room, I felt bad for Elena. Joey had messed things up at the hotel entrance, stopping Elena from doing anything to me.
But I could tell from how worked up she'd been the night before. She'd planned to do something really bad to me. And she wasn't stupid. She must have known the risks and what would happen if things went wrong.
But she'd still gone ahead with it. There could only be one reason—love.
