Chapter 1599
A plea and desperation replaced the malice in Addie’s eyes. “Sir, please! Just give me one more chance…I swear,
I’ll change, I’ll correct my mistakes. Please let me stay…”
Presley shut his eyes, his jaw muscles taut with anger. “…Guards! Kick her out!”
Upon hearing the command, the guards waiting outside immediately entered. They hoisted Addie from the ground
and started dragging her out. She slumped to the floor, refusing to cooperate. “Please. You can’t be so heartless.
I’ve always been loyal to the Harper family… Her voice faded as she was dragged out of the drawing room and into
the courtyard.
The servant, who had been hiding, now emerged, looking rather pleased with herself. She knew Chloe wouldn’t turn
against someone without reason. If she was going out of her way to deal with Addie, then she must have done
something unforgivable.
The drawing room fell silent once again as nightfall arrived.c2
“You guys can stay. We’ll need you to work in the house from now on,” the old man said, his voice filled with
exhaustion.
He slowly rose to his feet, swaying slightly. “I’ve lost my appetite, so I won’t have dinner. You guys go ahead”
Leaving these words behind, he ascended the staircase with the aid of his cane, disappearing out of sight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRobin’s eyes stayed glued to the TV screen, where the news had shifted to the scene of Chloe being ambushed
outside her apartment. She was calm and collected, as if she had expected the media’s attention.
This woman, did she always remain so composed under pressure, or had she anticipated being cornered by the
reporters?
Or perhaps did she know that he was behind the media attention?
Or did she have other suspicions?
He narrowed his eyes, his expression turning grim. In just a day, with Addie as a catalyst, she had expertly played
her hand. The faithful old servant who had been by the old man’s side for decades, whom even Elizabeth hadn’t
been able to drive away, was now completely out of favor
Chloe really didn’t leave any room for a comeback. Her actions were even more decisive and ruthless than a man’s
could be.
Addie was immediately dismissed from the Harper family. After decades of service, she wasn’t even allowed to stay
the night. She trudged into town with her suitcase, utterly exhausted, but was recognized by a crowd. Their
disdainful and contemptuous looks made her lower her head.
“Did she get kicked out?”
“Why feel sorry for her? Better to sympathize with the other servants who were oppressed by her!”
“She lived a luxurious life at the Harper mansion, with a bunch of flunkies at her beck and call, and a hefty salary.
You want to feel sorry for her?”
“Whod dare hire her now?”
“Who would be crazy enough to pay for an outsider to rule their home?”
“Haha, probably just that old man from the Harper family…”
“Let’s go. Her ugly face is nauseating. Nothing to see here!”
Addie trudged along, head lowered, avoiding the pointing fingers and sidelong glances. Every word was a nail,
piercing her heart. She was filled with a mix of feelings, helplessness, anger, regret, and resentment.
Because their ideals were fundamentally dissimilar from those of normal people, bad individuals could never
become good. A person’s values were developed from birth and were more ingrained over time, shaping their
personality and mentality.
Like Keira, who was always envious of Chloe and despised everything about her, ended up hiding in her corner,
consumed with jealousy and hatred.
Like Wendy, the golden girl of the Alonso family, who believed that everything should belong to her, including the
Alonso family, the shares and Damon Anyone who touched her cheese became her enemy.
Could they repent and admit their mistakes?
Some things were deeply ingrained and couldn’t be changed, just like Addia
Despite everything, life had to go on. She dragged her luggage to the Employment Agency, where the staff looked

“What kind of job are you looking for?” the clerk asked.
“A housekeeper”
The clerk looked at her, smirked silently, shook her head, and jotted down her request. “Do you have any salary
expectations?”
“The lowest I’ll take is fifteen thousand.”
Addie stated this matter–of–factly. The clark paused, looked up at the elderly woman sitting across from het, her
swollen face showing all the signs of her recent ordeal, and silently laughed at the audacity. The signs of a life of
luxury were still evident in her appearance. Despite her
current disheveled state, she was cleaner and more refined than the women from the poorer regions. But her I
come from a rich family‘ arrogance was off–putting.
The staff member scoffed, his words dripping with sarcasm. “You’re asking for a salary of fifteen grand?”
Addie nodded, a hint of arrogance in her demeanor. Even when she looked at the staff member, there was a hint of
disdain and condescension in her gaze. “That’s my bottom line. I used to make more than that.”
The staff member let out a sarcastic chuckle, jotting down “15000+” on the form as he spoke in a dismissive tone,
“Well, then perhaps you should return to your previous job.”
