Chapter 288

After everyone left, a thin maid returned to her room, where she frowned upon seeing the workbook filled with hatred for Olivia.

She called Olivia immediately. “Miss Taylor?”

Olivia was with Andrew. When she received the call, she came out of Andrew’s room and went to the study.

Olivia said plainly, “It’s me. Speak.”

Natalie Hopper, the maid, furrowed her brow and said, “You told me to go to Andrew’s room and make sure everything was okay. At first, I was puzzled because I thought no one in the old residence would harm Mr. Andrew. But you won’t believe what I discovered. Their target is not Andrew, but you!”

It had been a while since Natalie found the workbook. However, she was still furious at the mention of the workbook.

Natalie thought, “Miss Taylor appointed me to work in the old residence some time ago to protect Mr. Andrew. During these days, I didn’t cause anyone’s attention or approach Mr. Andrew. Instead, I only did my cleaning job.

“I did my job so well that Mr. Brown quite liked me.”

“Miss Taylor, you won’t believe this.” Natalie’s voice was filled with hatred. “The workbook is filled with words like ‘hate you.”

Olivia sat on the sofa, holding the phone in her right hand. She put her left hand on her forehead and did not speak for a long time.

The afternoon sunlight shone in through the window and landed on Olivia’s face, accentuating her red lips, white teeth, and exquisite jawline.

Olivia half closed her eyes, long eyelashes covering her eyes nd concealing her thoughts..

After a short pause, Olivia said, “Try to swap the workbook with a blank one, and then let me know what happens next.”

Natalie nodded and followed the order. Later, she reported, “Oscar said he needed to get his toys back from Andrew’s room. Then, Brad suggested Mrs. Sullivan follow Oscar to Andrew’s room. To his surprise, Brad didn’t find the workbook he had prepared.

“He flipped through the workbook from beginning to end and seemed shocked.”

After saying that, Natalie became curious and asked, “Miss Taylor, how did you know that there’s something wrong with Brad?”

Brad had spent more than a week in the old residence. He had a gentle personality, spoke slowly and softly, and appeared quite easy to get along with.

Even Natalie liked Brad, the returned member of the Sullivan family.
