Chapter 1597
The sight of him instantly dampened Addie’s previously buoyant mood. She was so taken aback that her smile
faltered. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly approached Presley, her face full of anger directed at the
surrounding housemaids. “What on earth are you all doing? This isn’t the place for maid interviews! Come, follow
me to the back”
Seeing Addie’s sudden appearance, the expressions of the housemaids changed visibly. A mix of fear, contempt,
anger, disdain, and disgust crossed their faces.
The sight of such expressions on their faces infuriated Addie, and she quickly dropped her pleasant demeanor She
questioned, “Didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf? Maid interviews belong in the back, now move!” Her tone was
irritable and her words were harsh.
The maids rolled their eyes, “We didn’t intend to work here! We were just here to say goodbye to the people, then
we planned to leave
Addie’s face darkened even more. “Not planning to work here? Then why did you come here in the first place?“c2
“Well, we did intend to work here initially, but who knew what kind of person you were? We’d rather earn less than
be oppressed by you every day! Another maid spoke up, not hiding her disdain for Addie.
The words of the maids and their attitude made Addie livid to the point of nearly exploding.
Addie’s voice grew colder this time, “What do you mean? What oppression are you talking about? I’ve clarified
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything in front of the reporters, and you’re here to stir up trouble? If you don’t want to work, then just leave.
With this attitude, it seems like you won’t obey rules in the future”
At first, her words were a bit unfiltered, but she realized there was Presley, sitting in the living room, and quickly
corrected herself
Addie said. “Sir, I don’t think these servants are genuinely willing to work. If not, we should let them go, and we can
find new ones”
Presley said, “I’m sitting here today, and you’re talking to people with this attitude. If I weren’t here, would you be
even more unrelenting?”
Presley, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a stern tone, sitting there without even batting an eyelid.
Addie paused, feeling a bit nervous. “Of course not, sir. Normally, as long as they do their jobs and fulfill their
responsibilities, I won’t make it
difficult for them.”
“Is that so?” Presley spoke again, his voice cold.
But hearing Addie’s words, a few of the servants by her side, particularly those with stronger personalities, couldn’t
help but let out a sarcastic chuckle They looked up at Presley and said. “Sir, we’ve made it very clear. We earn our
wages, and we’re not afraid of being supervised. But we really dare not work under Addie. Rather than being
oppressed by her in the future and then being kicked out, it’s better if we quit now. We re truly
sorry for the inconvenience today”
One person spoke up first and then others followed, bowing respectfully to Presley and preparing to leave.
Addie was so infuriated by the words and attitudes of these servants that she felt like her head was about to
explode. She gave them a murderous look. “You don’t dare to work under me? What on earth do you mean by
this?”
The maids ignored her, avoiding her like the plague as they made to leave
“Hold on Presley’s voice suddenly halted their retreat. He lifted his head, his gaze focusing on Addie. His eyes were
cold and indifferent. Addie
had rarely seen him like this
“Addie, I’ve always trusted you” Presley said.
Addie nodded quickly. “Yes, I’ve always been grateful for your kindness and trust”
Presley scoffed, “Trust?”
His scoff sent chills down Addie’s spine She looked at Presley cautiously, sensing the icy mockery in his eyes.
After a long while he sighed deeply, closing his eyes and shaking his head Presley said, “Trust? The word now only
makes me seem more foolish! To have allowed such an arrogant and sycophantic person by my side for decades!”
Addie was completely taken aback Even Robin, who had just entered from the back, was stunned by Presley’s
words. “What happened?” Robinia words brought Addie back to her senses
“What did I do wrong, sir? Ive already clarified everything in front of the reporters, didn’t I?” She paused, her gaze
landing on the maids, and snapped “Speak up Did you gossip about me to the master? What did I do to offend you?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh, I see, did someone pay you to smear me?”
The maids rolled their eyes in disbelief One of the maids said. “Who would bother to hear you? You’ve already
disgraced yourself enough an front of the media! Do you really think you’re some sort of big shot? You think people
need to unwar you?
Addie had no idea what ‘disgrace the maid was referring to Seeing the situation turning against her, she quickly
moved closer to Presity. don’t be swayed by their words I’ve been by your side for many years, dont you know what
kind of person i am? Everything was fine before today They must have been bribed by Chipel it’s not enough for her
to take away all our maids, the even senda people to continue causing
trouble here it’s too much.”
“So, were you also bribed by her? Presley asked
Addie was taken aback, “What?”
Presley pursed his lips picked up the mole, and resumed the paused TV On the screen, Aditie was seen in her
interview, her face tear and pathetic. Even after the interview ended,

But the next moment, the scene on the TV changed to another video. It started with the scene of Addie lounging on
the sunlit terrace at the Harper family mansion earlier that afternoon, her legs crossed as she savored a piece of
fruit
Just a single glance, and Addie’s eyes suddenly widened. Her face turned sheet pale as if she had seen a ghost.
