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.
Delbert didn’t spare them a glance. Instead, he tenderly looked at Harriet.

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.
