Chapter 24 But she really didn't like Tracie . There was a huge gap , a sense of awkwardness between them . When Grover and Juliana took her places , everyone praised them . Juliana was full of energy and confidence , like her best friend , like the big sister she always wanted . Tracie wasn't like that . Grover didn't like Tracie and kept his distance from her . Her grandpa , grandma , aunt , and even Oliver all disliked Tracie . No one in the family cared about Tracie . Tracie could be selfish , cruel , and downright nasty . Tracie had fought with Juliana over a pearl necklace and refused to save Oliver's life . Those things made her dislike Tracie even more . She really didn't want Tracie to come back to this house , But … the stories Tracie told her were the best . Even better than Juliana's . Chapter 24 Tracie was gentle when she bathed her - never too hot . When Tracie tucked her in at night , she never fell asleep . No matter when Wendi woke up , Tracie was always right there by her side . Tracie made her favorite dishes . Thinking about these things made Wendi feel a deep sadness . Suddenly , she had an idea . " Dad , I've got a great idea ! You and Mom should get a divorce , marry Juliana , and then we can make Mom our housekeeper - she'll cook and do laundry for the three of us . That way , the house won't be so messy , I can still hear Mom tell me stories , and we'll all get to eat her cooking . You , Juliana , and I can be a family together ! " Grover was speechless . He hadn't exactly ruled out the idea . He didn't mind keeping Tracie at home , since she was really good at cooking and cleaning . But he'd need to discuss it with Juliana first . Even if Juliana agreed , it would only work if Tracie didn't cause trouble . Chapter 24 " Do you think that's a good idea , Dad ? " Wendi asked sweetly . " I'll give it a try ," Grover replied . " How about you go take a bath and get some sleep first ? " " Okay ! " Wendi obediently went off to take a bath . The next day Monday As soon as Grover arrived at the office , the legal team came in with the divorce agreement . He handed over the document , " Mr. Stanton , this is the most thorough divorce agreement . It guarantees the other party won't get a single cent . " " Okay ! " Grover nodded . He had no feelings left for Tracie , so he wasn't planning on giving her any of the assets . Once the legal team left , he picked up the office phone and called the family butler , Rodger . The call was quickly answered . Grover asked , " Rodger , how much is the monthly salary for a housekeeper at Stanton family ? " Chapter 24 " There are four levels , " Rodger explained . " Housekeepers who have been with the family for over twenty years are provided for in retirement . Those with ten years of service earn over 5,000 dollars a month , and all their expenses - food , clothing , and others - are covered by the family . Five - year veterans earn about 3,000 dollars a month , plus they get a housekeeper uniform . New hires start at 2,000 dollars a month , with a six - month probation period . " " I see . Please prepare a contract for a housekeeper at 2,000 dollars a month . The employee is Tracie . " Rodger was speechless . Tracie'd never taken a penny from the Stanton family . Now that she wasn't Mrs. Stanton anymore , she was being hired as a housekeeper ? Well , at least she would get a salary , even if it was a low - tier position . Rodger couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness . " Understood … I'll get the contract ready , Mr. Stanton . " Rodger's voice was filled with emotion . Grover didn't catch it . Chapter 24 He was still thinking about Juliana . Juliana was strong - willed and independent . ' Would she be upset seeing Tracie work as a housekeeper at the family home ? ' he wondered . If Juliana disagreed , he wouldn't even consider giving Tracie the chance to be a housekeeper at Stanton family . For now , the priority was to finalize the divorce . Chapter 25
