Chapter 74: Investigating the Truth (1)
Gianna called a taxi and returned to the Walker family’s villa.
After such a shocking incident early this morning, there was not a single master inside the house now, everyone had gone to the hospital to accompany Florence. The maids were all gathered together.
When Gianna walked into the hall, she heard rustling talking sound coming from inside.
“Master Cameron and Madame Walker were very anxious when they saw Miss Florence have an attack. Young Master Darren, Young Master Edward and Young Master Kingsley were all very anxious. I don’t know why Missus can be so ruthless. Pamilla was so well-behaved. Although it’s only close to Miss Florence, no matter what, it’s impossible for me to kill it!”
“Missus is so pretty and polite. I really don’t think that she’s so cruel. I was shocked to see Miss Florence’s fragile and uncomfortable look this morning, not to mention Master Cameron, Madame Walker and the young masters who love her so much.”
“When we scooped Pamilla up from the pool, the little kitten’s round eyes stared at us and I can feel a pain in my heart. Even if it’s a beast, it’s still a life! I really don’t know how Missus can do that.”
“It’s said that people in high society learn a lot more manners and knowledge than common folk like us, but their morality is worse than us. If I have the capability, how I wish to announce Missus’ crime so that everyone will know that she has done many beastly things...”
“Stop it, stop it.” A maid hastily pulled another maid who was talking with unbridled excitement.
“Why are you stopping me, I haven’t finished ...”
At the next second…
“Missus!” The maid’s face became pale as she was scared.
She lowered his head with a trembling look.
Several maids were standing there, motionless. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After all, they had said so many bad things about her secretly...
They did not even dare to imagine what would be the consequences!
Gianna just looked askance at them.
She walked past them.
It was enough to just give them a shock.
In her current position, she did not qualify to educate them.
If she was not careful enough, she would exaggerate the issues and people would say that she bullied the maids when the Walker family members were not at home.
She was not paranoid.
Judging at the situation now, she felt that Florence would do anything.
She walked past the maids.
At the moment when she walked past them, she said to one of the maids, “You come to my room and help me pack something.”
“Yes, Missus.” That maid was on the verge of tears.
She was the one who had talked the most about Gianna.
Gianna brought the maid back to her room.
The maid’s whole body was shaking and so was her voice, “What does Missus want me to pack?”
“I’ll ask you a few questions, just answer truthfully.”
“Yes, yes.” The maid was frightened to death.
“What’s your name?” Gianna asked.
“Doreen, everyone calls me Doreen.”
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-eight this year.”
“How long have you been in the Walker family?”
“I’ve been served as a maid in the Walker family since I was 18, before I graduated from high school. It’s been 10 years.” Doreen’s eyes were red as she said that, “Missus, please don’t kick me out.”
“Calm down, I didn’t say that I want to kick you out.”
Doreen sniffled and nodded.
“Who is the closest to Miss Florence in this family?” Gianna went straight to the point.
Since she had been serving in the Walker family for so many years, she naturally knew all the things in the Walker family very well.
“Miss Florence and Madame Walker are very close. Miss Florence relies on Madame Walker a lot. Madame Walker also dotes on Miss Florence a lot.”
“What about the other people besides Madame Walker?”
“The others?” Doreen thought about it, “They all seem to be pretty much the same.”
“Is Miss Florence on good terms with Kingsley?” Gianna asked.
Doreen looked at Gianna, seemingly unsure of how to answer.
“Just answer truthfully.” Gianna’s face was slightly sunken, looking very authoritative.
Doreen hurriedly said, “Young Master Kingsley seldom comes back here. Miss Florence and Young Master Kingsley have little time to get along with each other. However, I heard from Miss Florence’s personal servant, Harriet saying that Miss Florence will be extremely happy when she knows that Young Master Kingsley is going to come back. She’ll put on nice clothes too.”
Gianna listened quietly and asked again, “Is Miss Florence very close to Pamilla?”
“Yes.” Doreen nodded her head vigorously, “No matter where she goes, Miss Florence will always be with Pamilla, that’s why I spoke so tongue-in-cheek just now, it’s really because Miss Florence loves Pamilla very much.”
“Just now I heard from you guys saying that Pamilla doesn’t get close to other people?” Gianna asked insouciantly.
“No one is close to Pamilla. Sometimes, we think that Pamilla is very cute when we look at it and we will take the initiative to tease it but it will just turn around and run away. Except for Miss Florence, no one is able to shackle it.”
“In that case, Miss Florence will take care of Pamilla’s upbringing personally?” Gianna questioned.
“No, no, no, of course Miss Florence can’t take care of it herself, Miss Florence is so delicate, how can she take care of it, it’s taken care of by Miss Florence’s personal maid, Harriet. Pamilla is very obedient
to Harriet. Sometimes, when Pamilla is not with Miss Florence and we want to play with Pamilla, it is Harriet who carries her over.”
“Where is Harriet?” Gianna asked.
Soon, she had her target.
“After Pamilla’s accident, she seems to have locked herself inside her room all the time, she must be blaming herself and very sad. After all, she used to take care of Pamilla. Now, she can’t get away with it, plus she’s close to Pamilla so she must be very sad.”
“Hmm.” Gianna seemed to nod with agreement. She asked casually, “Is there CCTV at home?”
“Yes. Besides the bedrooms, there are CCTVs in all the public activity areas of the house.” The maid replied hurriedly.
“Where is the surveillance room?” Gianna asked.
“It’s inside the guard’s security room at the main entrance.”
“Alright,” Gianna said, “There’s nothing more, you can leave now.”
“Yes, Missus.” Doreen was extremely respectful.
When she left, she could not help but stopped again.
“Missus, I ...”
“I’ll pretend that I don’t know about the bad things that you had just said about me if you don’t tell anyone the things that I had just asked you.”
“Don’t worry, Missus. I won’t say anything even if I die.” Although Doreen did not understand why Missus would say that, from her point of view, Missus had just asked a normal question.
Why was she afraid that people would know about it?!
Anyway.
It was good that she did not get kicked out.
Doreen left the room.
Gianna did not stay either, she went straight downstairs and went to the security room.
She asked the security guard to retrieve all the surveillance footage from yesterday afternoon to this morning.
Then she sat in the security room and watched it.
She used the fastest speed she could to watch it and kept playing it.
It played so much that the security guard felt dizzy. At last, he finally gave up and waited beside her.
“Okay.” Gianna suddenly spoke.
The security guard felt that he could just see the images that kept flickering on the screen and could not see anything.
Gianna said “thank you” to the security guard and left the security room directly.
Sure enough.
Nothing was found.
Florence was not a simple woman.
