Chapter 809
The doorbell rang at that moment. Sean was puzzled. “Who’s visiting at this hour?”
“Sean, answer the door. She’s my guest,” instructed Alyssa.
Sean remained confused, for Alyssa hadn’t told him about the guest before this. Still, he put his
thoughts
aside and opened the door.
A young and good-looking lady in her 20s stood there. She was dressed in athleisure wear and a black
cap.
“You are…” Sean wondered, examining the woman before him.
“I-I am Nina-Nina Carle. I’m a maid at the Beckett family who works for Ms. Lauren,” Nina nervously
introduced herself while checking out the surroundings.
Upon learning that she worked for Lauren, Sean immediately pieced the puzzle together.
“Sorry, Nina. I couldn’t pick you up because of some reasons. I had to trouble you to visit me,” Alyssa
greeted Nina and held her hand. Then, she led Nina into the living room.

fees,”
Alyssa said.
“It’s fine. I took the bus and changed to the train. It was pretty convenient,” Nina answered, her cheeks
red
from the cold.
She trembled, feeling touched by the care that the ex-Mrs. Beckett had shown her.
Alyssa felt bad for Nina when she recalled the walking distance from the train station to the
neighborhood. She knew that Nina wanted to save some money.
Sean made a cup of hot tea for Nina and gave her a hot pack. Nina sat on the living room couch for a
while before she recovered from the cold.
“Madam-Sorry, it’s Ms. Alyssa. Thank you for taking care of Lauren all this while,” Nina whispered
firmly. I witnessed how you treated Ms. Lauren when you were still with the Beckett family. Look, I’m
willing to
do anything for Ms. Lauren.”
Alyssa observed Nina’s eyes. They were as clear as Lauren’s. She suddenly felt a heavy burden on
her
heart.
She had no idea if she was making the right move, but she needed to place a trustworthy figure by

After looking into the household staff, she finally picked Nina to be the spy.
Sean pressed his lips. He knew that Alyssa wanted Nina to spy on Sophia.
Alyssa explained, “Nina, I want you to gain Sophia’s trust and stay by her side. If possible, I need you
to install a bug in her bedroom.”
Alyssa’s eyes darkened, and she went to the point, “I want to track every single detail of her life from
now on.”
Nina, stunned, gripped tightly onto the hot pack without a word.
“Nina, I know this is tough for you. After all, Sophia Kirkman is Lauren’s mom and the family’s

This mission comes with some risks as well…”
“Sure, I’ll do that.” After a brief pause, Nina slowly looked up with a steely determination and swore, “I
will
complete every mission to the best of my ability. I bear witness to what Ms. Lauren went through over
the
years. Madam Sophia was only good to Ms. Betty, treating Ms. Lauren like one of the maids. Ms.
Lauren
was only treated with respect when Mr. Javier and Mr. Jasper were home.”
Alyssa and Sean teared up when they heard Nina’s remark. Nina continued, “I like Ms. Lauren, but I
am
clear-headed. I judge Madam Sophia and Ms. Betty by their actions, not by their relationship with Ms.
Lauren. I won’t allow them to hurt Ms. Lauren just because they are her family.”
Nina’s eyes brimmed with tears. “If it weren’t for Mr. Landon, I didn’t know who else could pull Ms.
Lauren
out of that hellhole. Mr. Landon is really nice to her.”
