Questions bubbled in her mind, but she still needed to clean up this mess. Following the trail of herfootprints, Addie navigated through the labyrinth of the grand Harper mansion, and finally arriving atthe door of Elizabeth.
What on earth could this woman be doing in Elizabeth's quarters? Especially considering the sherarely resided here and had very few belongings within.
But Elizabeth was particular about her possessions, especially her blueprints, which were soprecious that even a fleeting glimpse was considered too much of a luxury.
And then Addie remembered the blueprints she'd seen Chloe holding earlier. Had Elizabeth notinformed her about the taboo? She had dared to enter Elizabeth's room?
Staring at the vacant room and the rag in her hand, Addie gritted her teeth, a plan forming in hermind.
When Robin returned, he found his father slumped in the living room sofa with a look of displeasureetched on his face. Hands folded in front of her with head bowed, Addie portrayed an image ofsincere humility.
“What happened?" Robin asked, approaching.
As Addie looked up at him, she quickly replied, "This afternoon, Ms. Summers barged in here andtook away all the housemaids.’
Robin narrowed his eyes, “You're saying she just showed up to take our staff? Addie, she's aformidable businesswoman. She wouldn't waste her time on trivial matters."
As he mused, sinking into the sofa, Addie's panicked expression didn't escape his sight. “Tell me,why did she come here?” Robin asked.
Addie shook her head, "I honestly don't know. I was directing the maids to clean because they werecareless, and in the middle of it, she just barged in.”
"Just like that?" Robin interrupted Addie, growing impatient. Addie shuddered and quickly loweredher head.
Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly blurted out, “I recall being puzzled when shecame here without meeting Mr. Presley and went straight to Mrs. Norwood-Harper's room.”
Robin's furrowed brows tightened at Addie's words as he sank deeper into his thoughts, his eyesthoughtful.
Addie, not understanding, quickly confirmed, "Yes, I saw her coming down from upstairs with someblueprints. I knew how much Mrs. Norwood-Harper treasured them."
A slow smirk spread across Robin's face, “I see”
His cryptic words left Addie perplexed. But now wasn't the time for that. Presley was fuming.
“Why are you in this state?" Presley finally spoke, his voice cold. Addie’s eyes welled up with tearsas she wiped them away.
Addie said, "Sir, all the maids have grown unruly since Marina left. They're careless, and when Iscolded them, they ganged up on me. Just then, Ms. Summers came, promising them a new salaryand they attacked me."
Presley scoffed, "She dares to cause a ruckus in the Harper's Mansion!"
Addie sobbed harder, “Sir, I've always had the Harper family's best interest at heart. To behumiliated by an outsider, it's unbearable.”
Presley's face darkened, "She hasn't even settled her accounts with us, and she dares to make ascene at our home.”
Before he could finish, Chloe's face appeared on the television screen. Clad in the same outfit shewore when she came to the Harper's Mansion, she was followed by the former Harper housemaids.
Chloe said, "Thank you for your interest in Starlight International. ‘The Queen’ is confirmed to startshooting in a month. All costume designs are ready. We're just waiting for the final products. Today,I've seen the costume designs. I believe you'll all love ‘The Queen’ and the stunning costumes. Staytuned!"
The reporters immediately pounced, "Ms. Summers, since you have the designs, can you show usone to whet our appetite?"
Chloe smiled, "I'm afraid I can't do that. These designs are confidential. If leaked, there could bemany problems. I apologize."
Although disappointed, the reporters understood. After all, there were many out there who wouldstop at nothing for money.
But then, Chloe pulled out a blueprint and revealed it to the reporters, "In gratitude for your constantsupport of Starlight International, I'm more than happy to give you a sneak peek. Besides, I havefaith, the final product will certainly surpass any sketch."
The reporters snapped photos frantically, their words keeping pace with Chloe's.
"We certainly know. Ms. Summers, you've always been a trendsetter, always imitated and neversurpassed."
“Absolutely right! After all, a knockoff can never replace the real deal. We believe that your clothingline will make waves worldwide."
Chloe chuckled, but nodded unabashedly, "Indeed. There's no better design out there, and ourcraftsmanship is truly one-of-a-kind, absolutely precious.”
Watching Chloe say these words on TV, someone clapped enthusiastically, "My daughter-in-lawsure knows how to sweet talk!"
