Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 442

Although Margaret knew she shouldn't intervene, she couldn't hold herself back from doing so.

To her, at the moment, Brenda mattered the most.

Stepping a step forward, she said in her best polite tone, seeking the understanding from the woman who never had any record of such.

"Mrs. Quinn, Madam hasn't been feeling well lately. Can you please consider her health and talk a little softly?" she suggested, keeping the best interest in mind.

But Catrin only frowned at her words. "Do you think I care?" she scoffed, eyeing Margaret with utmost hatred, as if blaming her for snatching something from her. "Even if she dies right now, I won't mind it at all."

"Ms. Catrin," Margaret almost snapped, "mind your words." She has never ever raised her voice like that, or lost her composure … but today, she simply could hold back.

She didn't like Catrin's insinuation at all, and it just twisted her wrong nerve.

Catrin never expected to be yelled at but a servant that was nothing but an orphan that her mother picked on a whim.

"You —did you raise your voice at me?" she asked, her tone holding the hint of warning.

However, Margaret didn't regretted losing her cool. She realized that for a second, although she action on an abrupt emotion, it was the need of the situation.

Matching the Catrin's gaze, she responded, "I just reminded you of something that you seem to be forgetting. After all, this is no longer your place. You only stepped here after … a decade of so?"

Catrin saw red. She hated this woman —not just for one reason but many. But right now, what infuriated her was her righteousness.

"Did you forget? Or, do I have to remind you that I was talking to my mother?"

Margaret didn't intend to act arrogant, but the sneer on her face was impossible to hide.

"I haven't forgotten anything," she said coldly. "And I don't need reminders. But perhaps you need a second reminder of what I just said —-madam hasn't been feeling well. So, consider her health before you speak. After all, you are not talking to some stranger. You are talking to your 'own mother'."

Catrin never expected her to ever stand at a loss like this. Yet again, here she was.

Once again, she blamed her mother for facing such humiliation today.

If not for her favoring this orphan so much, would Margaret have ever dared to talk back to her?

"You —"

"Enough!"

Before it could any further escalate, Brenda's voice cut through the tension, her brows furrowed in displeasure.

Catrin opened her mouth to complain, but Brenda didn't give her the chance.
