The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 381
‘Does she think she can do whatever she wants here, just because she’s Corinne’s sister?’ thought the two servants.
However, they had been trained, regardless of the situation, not to show their displeasure to guests, so the two of them
respectfully led the Carew’s into the mansion.
Sherlyn had been to the mansion’s grounds before with Corinne, but this was her first time stepping into the mansion, so she
was looking curiously at everything around her.
However, she did not seem all too happy when she came to the inner courtyard.
With the air of the woman of the household, she crossed her arms haughtily and looked down her nose at the inner courtyard’s
design. Then, shaking her head, she said, “This mansion isn’t that bad, but can we do something about the old -fashioned
design? I don’t like this kind of Victorian-era style of decoration. We need to do some revamping once I move in.
“And that old pine tree over there has grown too big. It’s blocking the sunlight from filtering into the mansion. We’ll need to cut it
down in the future. The marble floor tiles on the ground will need to be removed too so we can put some high- grade turf of the
same quality as the golf course and plant my favorite flower-roses, of course. After all, only a garden that befits a European royal
castle will be suitable for my status as a celebrity!
“And oh, those rustic potted plants over there must also be thrown away, or it’ll affect the overall appearance of the garden.”
Lilliana nodded to everything Sherlyn said. “You’re right, Sherlyn. I also think the yard is too plain. It’ll be a pity if we don’t do
something about it.”
The two servants who were leading the way exchanged glances with each other. They were both annoyed and speechless,
wondering what was wrong with Corinne’s family. How could they think about renovating the mansion’s grounds as if they owned
the place?
To Sherlyn and Lilliana, it might just be some plain old yard, but to the Holdens, every plant and tree there was a treasure. The
100-year-old pine tree, for example, had been in the family longer than Jeremy had been alive. Then, there were all the rustic
potted plants which were all of Greg’s favorites. He spent countless hours, effort, and money to make sure they were all taken
care of.
It was obvious to the servants Sherlyn and Lilliana had no idea just how rare some of the orchids in the yard were. The

orchids, which were the apples in Greg’s eyes, were even harder to get than gold, and they lived an even more pampered life
than some humans in this world! The servants were sure Sherlyn and Lilliana would not live to see another day if they threw the
orchids away.
Bowen waited for Sherlyn, Marvin, and Lilliana in the hall, and he immediately walked up to them with a kind smile as soon as he
saw the three of them entering.
“Mister Carew, Missus Carew, and Miss Carew, welcome! Ma’am will come down to see you as soon as she finishes washing
up.”
Sherlyn glared at him and said, “You’re that old man who spoke to us through the intercom, right?”
Bowen’s smile immediately froze. He did not expect Corinne to be so rude to him, not when he had treated them so politely.
However, he decided to let it go. He was trained as a
professional butler, after all.
His smile maintained as he said, “Yes, I’m the butler of this household. You may call me Bowen.”
Sherlyn looked him up and down and scoffed. “It’s time to change the butler, too! He’s too old!”
Bowen was stunned, and a frown appeared on his head. ‘My, this young lady is so rude!”
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he kept up his
professionalism and politely said, “Might I invite the three of you to co-“|
He did not even have the chance to finish his sentence before the Carews swaggered into the living room and sat on the sofa as
if they were in their home.
In all his years of serving the Holden family, Bowen never met such brazen guests. Even the dignitaries and influential members
of other prominent families would not dare to act indecently in the mansion.
‘Well, I guess I’ve seen everything now,’ thought Bowen.
