The servant looked up at Daisie cautiously. “How about I give Madam Ames a call and ask her to come over now?”
Daisie scoffed. “There’s no need for that. I don’t think I have the authority to order her around.”
After making such a sarcastic comment, Daisie walked to the kitchen alone, but Mia immediately stopped her. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to make my own breakfast.”
“How can it be!?” Mia pulled her out and made her sit at the dining table. “If the chef isn’t here, you have me. I, Mia Keaton, was once lucky enough to work as a part–time sous–chef in a restaurant. Don’t worry. Although I haven’t cooked in a while, I promise it’ll still taste good!”
She swaggered into the kitchen and started messing around with some ingredients.
The two servants were worried that she would light the kitchen on fire, but because of Daisie’s presence, they did not dare to say anything. They looked at each other and arrived at the same solution.
The other servant hurried to the yard, took her cell phone out, and called Madam Ames. “Madam Ames, come back quickly! Mrs. Knowles has woken up, and she’s very upset. We’ll all be fired if Mr. Knowles learns about this.”
On the other end of the call, Madam Ames was taken aback when she received the call from the servant. ‘She actually woke up at this hour!?‘ NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She gnashed her teeth. “Okay, I’ll head back right now.”
After hanging up the phone, she walked to Cecelia’s side. “Ms. Taylor, I have to go back right away.” Cecelia put down the cup of coffee in her hand. “What’s the hurry? You’re the housekeeper that His Royal Highness hired. Can she even fire you for such a trivial matter?”
Madam Ames shook her head and gave off a wry smile. “Ms. Taylor, you don’t know how much Mr. Knowles loves her. He’ll believe in anything that she says. Mr. Knowles will surely fire me if she tells him about my negligence.”
Cecelia’s gaze looked somewhat ruthless. “Love? Trust me. She’s only getting all the love because of the fetus in her womb!”
After saying that, she took a tiny bottle of liquid out of her bag and handed it to Madam Ames. The latter was inwardly startled, and her instinct told her that the liquid in the bottle was definitely something heinous. “Ms. Taylor, what are you…”
“Find a way to add this medicine into your employer’s food. Don’t worry. It won’t kill her.”
Madam Ames took the bottle of medicine tremblingly, and beads of cold sweat started perspiring on her forehead. “Ms. Taylor, are we really going to do this?”
Becoming a mole in the manor was already extremely terrifying, especially since Daisie had recently painted a target on her back.
‘Perhaps she has already noticed something.
‘So if I were to spike her food at this moment… And let’s not forget that there are so many surveillance cameras in the manor. I’ll be caught!‘
Cecelia got up, walked toward Madam Ames, placed her hand on her shoulder, and approached her ears.
Don’t forget, I know what you’ve done. So if you don’t do as I say, you should know that you’ll be apprehended and sentenced for stealing secrets of that aristocratic family, right?”
Madam Ames‘ back stiffened. She froze in place and did not dare to move.
‘Before Mr. Knowles even put out an ad for a steward, Ms. Taylor had already used this secret to blackmail me. She needs a woman who will work for her and lurk beside the princess.
‘If I were to refuse to help her now, the secrets that I stole while working as a housekeeper in another aristocratic family would be made public. When that time comes, I’ll not only face prison but also offend all the aristocrats that I’ve worked for.
‘My life will fall into hell when that happens.‘
Madam Ames clenched the bottle in her hand and bit her lip. “I’ll do as asked.”
Cecelia gave off a coquettish smile. “Good, that’s what I want to hear. Don’t worry. As long as I become the princess, I’ll treat you well.”
When Madam Ames returned to Blue Valley Manor, she placed the medicine in her bag as millions of thoughts flashed across her mind, and she could not help but feel a little nervous.
Stepping into the living room, she saw the servants gathered outside the kitchen. She was then startled when she heard the sound of someone stir–frying in the kitchen..
‘Isn’t the chef coming in at noon?‘
However, it was none other than Mia who was cooking in the kitchen. Soon, Mia came out of the kitchen with breakfast, which was a bowl of noodles.
