Chapter 366: When Am I Ivy A Soft Persimmon?
Upon seeing this scene, Clint Parker exclaimed in disbelief, "Ivy, you don't actually want Alexander to take Emily as a concubine, do you?"
"Of course it's true, Mr. Parker. Could you please have the staff brew a cup of tea? Madame Emily wishes to offer me tea!" Ivy replied.
Upon hearing that Alexander wanted to take a concubine, all the guests were stunned.
This is an illegal matter, how dare Alexander brazenly do this?
A journalist wanted to pick up his camera, while another person advised, "Do you want to die? Are you daring enough to record something like this?"
Ivy said, "It's alright, film as you please, boldly film, even livestream if you want."
Upon hearing this, not only the journalist, but all the guests took out their phones, preparing to livestream and witness this exciting moment.
The hotel staff quickly brewed a cup of tea and brought it over on a tray.
On the stage, two other staff members carried over a high-back chair.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ivy calmly sat on the high-back chair, like a noblewoman from ancient times, and said with an imposing manner, "Emily, are you sure you want to marry Alexander as a concubine?"
"Absolutely!" Emily answered without hesitation.
"Then, let us exchange tea!" Ivy waved her hand.
Dylan, the chairman of the Watson Group, who was on vacation abroad and did not attend Alexander's wedding, trembled with anger when he saw Emily about to offer tea to Ivy in the livestream video. He immediately took a special plane back to the country and headed straight to the Palace Hotel.
Meanwhile, at the hotel, Emily held the tea cup from the tray offered by the hotel staff, respectfully walked onto the stage and presented the tea to Ivy, saying, "Madame, please have some tea!"
Ivy looked up at Emily and said, "Do you really see me as a noblewoman? Your posture is not right at all, you're taller than me by several heads."
Ivy was sitting in the chair while Emily was standing offering tea, naturally making her taller.
Emily awkwardly held the tea cup, should she kneel down?
At this moment, someone from the audience shouted, "Kneel down to offer tea! In ancient times, concubines would kneel when offering tea to noblewomen!"
Emily didn't want to kneel down without any dignity, but since things had already reached this point, she couldn't afford to fail. Reluctantly, she knelt before Ivy and said, "Madame, please have some tea!"
Instead of accepting the tea cup, Ivy said, "Let me tell you something before anything else. If you can accept the rules of being a concubine in the Ashford family, you can stay. If not, then leave."
Emily clenched her teeth and said, "Madame, please go ahead."
Ivy pondered for a moment and said, "Here's the deal. I'll say a phrase, and you repeat it. If you can't keep repeating, you'll automatically give up."
"Alright!" Emily agreed decisively.
Ivy began, "I, Emily, willingly become Alexander's concubine and will always listen to Madame's teachings..."
Emily repeated, "I, Emily, willingly become Alexander's concubine and will always listen to Madame's teachings..."
"I am here, always obedient to the Madam's teachings..."
Ivy continued, "I will not sleep with Alexander, I will not cause trouble for Alexander, I will not use tricks..."
Emily Foster imitated Foster's face, reluctantly repeating her words.
For the final sentence, Ivy said, "I will only focus on serving the Madam and Alexander in their daily lives until I die in the Ashford family!"
Emily could not repeat the words, she slammed the teacup down and pointed at Ivy, "Do you think I am a free maid, solely here to serve the two of you? Is this concubinage? It's nothing more than treating me like a slave!"
"Concubinage? Do you really think the Ashford family would take a concubine?" Ivy scoffed and stood up.
"Which woman would willingly share her husband with someone else? Emily, you seduced my husband on my wedding day, taking advantage of his drunken state to trap him.
To do such a shameless thing and have me to aid you, to have you marry into the Ashford family! Emily, do you really think I'm a pushover, someone you can just manipulate?"
