“Mr Lisa, I honestly had no clue what you were talking about,” Scarlet asserted, standing her ground. “I was getting older, and there were numerous things I couldn’t recall anymore. If you wanted to accuse me of something, you should have reminded me of what I did or said. Without any context, I have no idea which incident you were referring to…”

As Scarlet maintained her defiance, Lisa’s voice grew cold. “It appears that in addition to the incident captured on video, you have been mistreating Isa privately. You packed your belongings and left. Cecilia had grown up, and she no longer required your care.”

Scarlet’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, but before she could react, Lisa had already ended the call. Mr Lisa wanted to dismiss her and kick her out of the house?!

Scarlet couldn’t wrap her mind around what she had just heard. She stood there, stunned, momentarily before attempting to call Lisa again. However, there was no response on the other end each time she dialed.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts, Scarlet’s hands trembled as she mustered the courage to send a voice message to Lisa.

“Mr Lisa, I have faithfully served this family for eighteen years. Were you planning to dismiss me out of the blue? What kind of incident led to such a profound misunderstanding on your part? I could clarify it for you…”

Five minutes ticked by… Half an hour went by…

Meanwhile, Lisa’s silence persisted, with no punctuation mark in response. Scarlet’s grip on her phone tightened, overwhelmed by mounting anxiety.

Mr Lisa must have watched that video; otherwise, he wouldn’t insist on dismissing her!

The memory of that incident flooded back, haunting her even after all this time.

It had occurred years ago, yet its weight still prevented her from finding inner peace.

After the maid Eliza cleaned the garden, Scarlet purposefully tipped over two buckets of oil onto the wet ground. She intended to cause Isabella, who would soon finish her shift, to slip and fall on her back.

Under the bright sunlight, the giant oil stains seamlessly merged with the water on the ground, making it challenging to differentiate between them. Without careful scrutiny, it would have been impossible to discern which patches were oil and water.

Scarlet was convinced that she had flawlessly executed her plan. However, her confidence was shattered when, half an hour later, Isabella returned home from work. Isabella walked into the villa’s main building using the main garden path, utterly unaffected by any mishaps.

At that moment, Scarlet and Miss Cecilia concealed themselves behind the curtains, watching in disbelief as Isabella walked towards them unharmed, without any mishaps.
