Addie said, "Because you just managed to piss me off. When I'm upset, I like to teach people alesson. It's a big deal that my slippers got dirty. It's covered in juice anyway, and it's going to getdirty wherever I go. You can just follow behind me and wipe my footprints if you like!"

Everyone was stunned. To follow behind her and wipe her footprints? She was such a nasty pieceof work, wasn't she planning to exhaust them deliberately?

Everyone glared at her in rage. However, Addie just scoffed, "Let me remind you all, your belovedMarina is gone. The Harper family is under my rule now! If you want to stay here, behave! Or else,replace somewhere else to chill. You want to complain to old Mr. Harper? Go ahead, see who hechooses to believe, you or me?"

The maids were all young, and anyone from a more affluent family would not choose to stay hereand be treated this way. But they had no choice. They needed the job.b2

Seeing that everyone was so angry but dared not speak up, Addie felt immensely satisfied. Shetook off her other shoe and threw it at the maid's feet. The maid stared at the shoe in front of her,quivering with rage. After a while, she finally managed to say, "I quit!"

The other maids heard this and their faces changed; it seemed they were also at breaking point.

Addie was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, “You think you can just quit? Do you think thecontract you signed with us is just for show? You can quit, but you need to pay double the penaltyfirst!"

The maids, who were just about to rebel, backed down immediately. Double the penalty? Wherewould they get that kind of money? They barely had anything left after sending the monthly

allowance home and buying some clothes and cosmetics.

Addie felt extremely pleased, seeing how she managed to keep everyone in check with just a fewwords. In the past, they all relied on Marina. Now that Marina was gone, would they dare to defyher?

"Surprised to see who's ruling the world.” A clear and sarcastic voice suddenly came from thedoorway.

Everyone was startled and locked towards the door, only to see a tall and slender figure slowlywalking in.

Addie frowned and took a few steps forward. When she saw who it was, her pupils dilated, and sheinvoluntarily took a couple of steps back, “It's you? Who let you in?!"

Chloe kept walking, stopping right in front of Addie. From her higher position, she looked down atAddie. Her expression was unreadable. “It seems you really think you're the mistress of the Harperfamily now?"

Addie couldn't help but keep her distance from Chloe. This woman might be smiling, but to Addie,she seemed hostile and intimidating. She always knew Chloe was a tough cookie, and she hadalways been wary of her.

There had been a lot of talk about Chloe recently, and Addie was more scared than ever. Besides,her opening remark was clearly directed at Addie.

"It's all because of you that Mr. Harper and Damon fell out. Everyone knows how much old Mr.Harper despises you! Who would dare let you in?" Addie said.

Chloe glanced at her dismissively, then turned her gaze to the maids standing nearby, "You're just amaid in the Harper family. Someone need to play the bad guy at some occasions, but sometimes

you need to win people over with kindness!”

Her gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed back on Addie. “You're not even as humble as theold housekeepers in the mansions of the past!" Chloe's voice was soft but clear and resonant.

Addie shrank back, and a shiver ran down her spine. The maids, perhaps feeling vindicated, huffedat the sight of Addie's cowardly demeanor. Addie felt a wave of humiliation. After all, she still had todiscipline these women in the future. How could she do that without any authority? With that inmind, she plucked up the courage to meet Chloe's gaze, "I was put in charge of them! Am Isupposed to beg them to do their work? Ms.

Summers, this is the Harper family's internal matter, and it has nothing to do with you! Please leaveimmediately, or I will not be polite! If it comes to it, I could have the security throw you out. Thatwouldn't look good for anyone!"

Chloe raised an eyebrow and continued to smile at her.

Addie stared at Chloe, her heart pounding. She had always found this woman sinister, "Leave ifyou've heard me! Don't you have any self-awareness? You know the Harpers dont like you, yet youkeep sticking around. Ah!"

Addie's shriek was followed by a crisp ‘slap". She staggered to the side, nearly falling over.Everyone stared in surprise at the calm and composed Chloe. Addie stumbled a few steps beforeshe managed to regain her balance. But before she could steady herself, Chloe was already in frontof her. Her face was like a sheet of frost, too cold to look at directly.

“You! Who are you to cause a scene here? Somebody..." Addie murmured.

"Slap—" Another slap!

This time, Chloe didn't even give Addie a chance to stumble. She simply grabbed her by the collarand yanked her back, “Even at my worst, I'm still higher in the Harper family hierarchy than you! Mr.Presley may have said that Damon is no longer entitled to the privileges of being the Harper heir,but that doesn't mean he's disowned him! As long as Damon is still the son of the Harper family, mystatus in the family is far above yours! You have the audacity to bully others, but you threaten themnot to complain to Mr. Presley? Who said that you have the right to discipline them?!"

Addie's cheeks were red and swollen from the slaps. She looked at Chloe in terror, her lipstrembling, "You...

you...”

“Why don't you go ahead and raise your voice? Might as well wake up Grandpa and show him howyou're running roughshod over the Harper family!" Chloe said.

Addie promptly sealed her lips. Her next words, though deflated, still bore an unyielding posture,"I'm their manager, and how I train them is my business. Besides, it's just cleaning. What have Idone wrong? Aren't you being a little too harsh?"

Chloe scoffed, pulling her over to the coffee table and picking up a bunch of grapes from the fruitbowl, ruthlessly throwing ther onto the floor. The ample juice from the grapes instantly splatteredeverywhere!
