Chapter 1590
Questions bubbled in her mind, but she still needed to clean up this mess. Following the trail of her footprints, Addie
navigated through the labyrinth of the grand Harper mansion, and finally arriving at the door of Elizabeth. What on
earth could this woman be doing in Elizabeth’s quarters? Especially considering the she rarely resided here and had
very few belongings within.
But Elizabeth was particular about her possessions, especially her blueprints, which were so precious that even a
fleeting glimpse was considered too much of a luxury.
And then Addie remembered the blueprints she’d seen Chloe holding earlier. Had Elizabeth not informed her about
the taboo? She had dared to enter Elizabeth’s room?
Staring at the vacant room and the rag in her hand, Addie gritted her teeth, a plan forming in her mind.
When Robin returned, he found his father slumped in the living room sofa with a look of displeasure etched on his
face. Hands folded in front of her with head bowed, Addie portrayed an image of sincere humility.d2
“What happened?” Robin asked, approaching.
As Addie looked up at him, she quickly replied, “This afternoon, Ms. Summers barged in here and took away all the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthousemaids.”
Robin narrowed his eyes, “You’re saying she just showed up to take our staff? Addie, she’s a formidable
businesswoman. She wouldn’t waste her time on trivial matters.”
As he mused, sinking into the sofa, Addie’s panicked expression didn’t escape his sight. “Tell me, why did she come
here?” Robin asked.
Addie shook her head, “I honestly don’t know. I was directing the maids to clean because they were careless, and in
the middle of it, she just barged in.”
“Just like that?” Robin interrupted Addie, growing impatient. Addie shuddered and quickly lowered her head.
Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly blurted out, “I recall being puzzled when she came here. without
meeting Mr. Presley and went straight to Mrs. Norwood–Harper’s room.”
Robin’s furrowed brows tightened at Addie’s words as he sank deeper into his thoughts, his eyes thoughtful.
Addie, not understanding, quickly confirmed, “Yes, I saw her coming down from upstairs with some blueprints. I
knew how much Mrs. Norwood–Harper treasured them.”
A slow smirk spread across Robin’s face, “I see.”
His cryptic words left Addie perplexed. But now wasn’t the time for that. Presley was fuming.
“Why are you in this state?” Presley finally spoke, his voice cold. Addie’s eyes welled up with tears as she wiped
them away.
Addie said, “Sir, all the maids have grown unruly since Marina left. They’re careless, and when I scolded them, they
ganged up on me. Just then, Ms. Summers came, promising them a new salary and they
attacked me.”
Presley scoffed, “She dares to cause a ruckus in the Harper’s Mansion!”
Addie sobbed harder, “Sir, I’ve always had the Harper family’s best interest at heart. To be humiliated by an
outsider, it’s unbearable.”
Presley’s face darkened, “She hasn’t even settled her accounts with us, and she dares to make a scene at
our home.”
Before he could finish, Chloe’s face appeared on the television screen. Clad in the same outfit she wore when she
came to the Harper’s Mansion, she was followed by the former Harper housemaids.
Chloe said, “Thank you for your interest in Starlight International. ‘The Queen‘ is confirmed to start shooting in a
month. All costume designs are ready. We’re just waiting for the final products. Today, I’ve seen the costume
designs. I believe you’ll all love ‘The Queen‘ and the stunning costumes. Stay tuned!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe reporters immediately pounced, “Ms. Summers, since you have the designs, can you show us one to whet our
appetite?”
Chloe smiled, “I’m afraid I can’t do that. These designs are confidential. If leaked, there could be many problems. I
apologize.”
Although disappointed, the reporters understood. After all, there were many out there who would stop at nothing
for money.
But then, Chloe pulled out a blueprint and revealed it to the reporters, “In gratitude for your constant support of
Starlight International, I’m more than happy to give you a sneak peek. Besides, I have faith, the final product will
certainly surpass any sketch.”
The reporters snapped photos frantically, their words keeping pace with Chloe’s.
“We certainly know. Ms. Summers, you’ve always been a trendsetter, always imitated and never surpassed.”
“Absolutely right! After all, a knockoff can never replace the real deal. We believe that your clothing line will make
waves worldwide.”
Chloe chuckled, but nodded unabashedly, “Indeed. There’s no better design out there, and our craftsmanship is
truly one–of–a–kind, absolutely precious.”
Watching Chloe say these words on TV, someone clapped enthusiastically, “My daughter–in–law sure knows
how to sweet talk!”
