Chapter 64 Not a Saint
The two maids pleaded with Bessie, desperately relying on her for help. They had tirelessly shielded Bessie’s whereabouts from Clifton
countless times before, ensuring that he never discovered her secret. Turning her back on them now seemed unthinkable. But Bessie had no intention of extending a helping hand.
She shook off their grasping hands and snapped, “You've offended Mr. Delbert, and now you expect me to protect you? Dream on!”
The two maids were taken aback by Bessie’s refusal. It dawned on them that Clifton and Bessie only saw them as expendable pawns, willing to burn bridges without hesitation.
Panic washed over them like a tidal wave. They fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
“Mr. Delbert, we were wrong! Please don’t dismiss us. We were foolish to talk back to you. Please forgive our transgressions!” “Mr. Delbert, we deeply regret our actions. Please have mercy!”
Delbert’s glare pierced through their souls. Terrified, they slapped themselves hard, their faces turning red and swollen. All they hoped for was Delbert’s leniency.
Losing their jobs would leave them with nothing.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Delbert didn’t spare them a glance. Instead, he tenderly looked at Harriet.
“What do you think?”.
Harriet wasn’t one to forgive easily. She had no intention of pardoning those who dared to slander her husband. Pouting, she shook her head and said with a sullen voice, “They can badmouth me, but not you.”
Delbert couldn’t help but find her protectiveness endearing rather than troublesome.
“Did you hear that? My woman is still mad!
“Cory, take them away. From now on, they’ll be responsible for cleaning all the toilets in the city.”
Cory carried out the order, trying to drag them away. But the two maids lay on the ground and refused to leave. This punishment was harsher than any other form of retribution.
Harriet, annoyed by the noise and disturbance, narrowed her eyes. With a flick of her wrist, she hurled two silver needles, making them lose their voices.
In the end, they were dragged away by Cory. Words had gotten them into trouble. They had offended the w people and deserved to be punished. Delbert turned to Clifton and reminded him. “It’s time to properly manage the Munoz family’s servants!”
This time, not only Clifton but also Bessie and the other servants were petrified. They lowered their heads, not daring to meet Delbert’s gaze.
“Yes, Mr. Delbert. | will ensure their manners from now on. | promise it won’t happen again!”
Clifton nodded repeatedly, displaying utmost deference. His forehead
“Mr. Delbert, please calm down and come inside.”
Seeing Delbert relent, Clifton hurriedly invited them into the living room.
Before departing, he cast a warning glance at those servants. If they caused any further trouble, he would definitely have a heart attack.
As Delbert and Harriet entered the living room, a graceful figure descended the stairs. Harriet was surprised that Nora had made it back.
