Chapter 1598
The moment her eyes met the screen, Addie’s pupils dilated and her face drained of color. Her legs turned to jelly,
shaking uncontrollably. What she saw was her own actions, displayed with the clarity of a high–definition, 1080p
video. Every expression, every word, every action was laid
bare for all to see.
There it was, footage of her forcing the servants to scrub the floors on their knees, and threatening them with
dismissal. The moment where she casually tossed an apple core on the floor, expecting the maids to clean it up.
The scene where she demanded they polish her shoes. All these scenes played out on the screen, causing Addie’s
legs to buckle beneath her collapsing to the floor in shock
From the moment he’d switched on the TV. Presley had turned his head, attempting to avoid the painful sight.
However, the sounds alone were enough to enrage him. His forehead throbbed with pulsing veins, and his breath
was coming in ragged gasps
“What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you’ve been bought off by that woman too, helping her stage this whole act?”
Presley demanded, his icy gaze
fixed on Addie
“I“Addie stammered, her mind in chaos, not knowing what to say.c2
“Addie all these years, is this who you’ve really been? Did you think I was a fool, playing me for all this time?“”

“How do you explain the video then?!” Presley roared, his cane pounding on the floor to punctuate his words.
Addie, trembling with fear, clenched her eyes shut. Her body shook violently with each thunderous boom of
Presley’s voice and the pounding of his cane on the floor “Sir, I just wanted them to obey me, to do their work
properly. They were used to Marina’s management, so it was hard for me to discipline them…”
“And your idea of discipline is what? Having them bow down to you, treating them like your slaves, expecting them
to polish your shoes daily?”
Presley’s voice boomed through the room, reducing Addie to tears. “No, sir…”
“Addie! These people are employees of the Harper family. They’re here to help us. We wouldn’t dare treat them as
slaves, but you they are someone’s cherished children! How dare you treat them the way you did?!
“Chloe was right, you’re worse than the harshest head housemaid of the old manor houses! And you have the
audacity to play the victim in front of the press? What do you have to complain about? You should see how people
are talking about you outside! You’re utterly shameless!!”
Presley was furious, his voice almost cracking with his anger. He glared at Addie, his face a mask of anger and
disappointment “You’ve made a fool of me again! First Wendy, and now you! Do you have any idea how much
damage you’ve done to our company in just half an hour?”
“I’ve always wondered why Elizabeth couldn’t stand you, now I understand I’ve been blind, fooled for decades,
blindly trusting and protecting you Presley shook his head with a bitter smile on his face What had his life come to?
His most treasured grandson was now blinded by a woman His eldest son gave up his power for a woman. His wife
refused to live with him. Even Wendy, whom he watched grow up, turned out to be a disgrace And now Addie, who
had been by his side for decades
The people closest to him, the ones he trusted most All of them had deceived and betrayed him
After venting all his anger, he finally calmed down
The young servants who had come for job interviews were terrified, hiding in the corner, speechless. The room was
silent, save for Addies sobs. which seemed to grow louder in the quiet After a long while, Presley took a deep breath
and let it out with a sigh. “You should leave, Addre There’s no place for you in the Harper family”
At these words. Addie’s crying stopped abruptly. She quickly scrambled to Presley’s side, clinging to his leg, begging
for mercy. “Six, / know wrong I’ll change, I promise! Please give me another chance, for the sake of my many years
of loyal service to you! I’ve always been loyal Harper family, sir, I can assure you

annoyance. “Get out!”

of loyalty, quickly said. “Did you consider the Harper family as your own, while disregarding the reat of the staff

Her words allowed Presley to catch the resentment in Addie’s eyes, and his heart, which had begun to soften,
hardened again in an instant.
He pushed Addie aside, barking, “Get out of here! Now!!”
