Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 392

“Also, Ms. Marsh’s menstrual cycle is normal. Her period ended two days earlier, but Ms. Gianna told me to inform you that Ms. Marsh has hormonal imbalances and missed her period.”

Gianna’s face fell, and she exploded in anger, “What nonsense—”

Wyatt shot her a warning look, and she recoiled a few steps, swallowing the rest of the sentence.

“Anything else?”

“Yes.” Heidi continued in a fit of sobbing, “Once Ms. Marsh came down with a fever, a very high fever. I wanted to phone you, but Ms. Gianna told me not to bother you. I suggested calling a doctor, which she didn’t allow either.

“Ms. Gianna assigned me the task of leaving Ms. Marsh’s meals at her door so she can get them herself. It’s not that Ms. Marsh is a picky eater but that Ms. Gianna told us to limit her servings. She pays us whenever we follow her orders and physically and verbally abuses us if we don’t, claiming that she’s the mistress of the house and that we must obey her.”

Wyatt maintained an expressionless face, but inwardly, he was overcome with the urge to strangle Gianna.

“Are you the only one working for her?” he questioned.

“Her, her, and her. They are under Ms. Gianna’s payroll too.” Heidi pointed at a few housekeepers. “We all take turns bringing Ms. Marsh food.”

Gianna raced over and tried to defend herself. “She’s falsely accusing me, Mr. Lopez! I have no ill will against Ms. Marsh and would never harm her. They’re all conspiring against me!”

“You have to believe me, Mr. Lopez! I’m innocent!” She raised three fingers. “I swear on my entire family that I didn’t do any of the things they accuse me of!”

Wyatt patted her cheek and smiled. “I never said I didn’t believe you. Why are you in such a hurry to swear an oath? The housekeepers did it, after all, and you only verbally abetted them. What good would it do to swear?”

He had seen through Gianna’s ploy, and a chill ran from her toes to the top of her head.

She forced herself to calm down and told herself to insist she was being slandered regardless of what the housekeepers claimed since there were no surveillance cameras.
