"I wonder how the Harper family could be so harsh on their maids? They're audacious enough to airsuch grievances in the public eye?"

"The term mistreated sounds harsh, but when you consider the power and influence the Harpershave, imagine what they could do to their maids if they wanted to?"

“Who could dare cross the Harper family?"

Indeed, everyone was no stranger to stories of the rich and powerful oppressing the less fortunate.Some spoke more realistically, though they were careful to avoid sensitive words. But such cautiondidn't quench the public's fervor. It was like when Damon had to withdraw his negative commentsabout Chloe. The more they tried to suppress, the more excited people became.b2 The topic of theHarpers using their wealth to oppress others lingered for a long time. The impact was immediateand noticeable. Whispers of unrest started making rounds in the stock market.

Robin was quick to act. Not long after Chloe's interview ended, he alerted the media. Half an hourlater, a press conference was held at the entrance of Harper Group's headquarters to address theallegations of their mistreatment of maids.

Upon receiving the news, all reporters hurried to the site.

With a casual elegance, Robin stood on the steps, a faint smile showing on his face, "Thank you allfor coming.

I've seen the news and I'm distressed by the allegations that we, the Harpers, have beenoppressing our help.

We have employed them for many years and never have we heard such accusations of humanrights violations.

Our management of our help has always been open and free. If we were indeed oppressive, itwouldn't have taken this long for the truth to appear. Moreover, we have no reason, or even thetime, to pick on our help. So, I believe there must be some misunderstanding. As a matter of fact,just today, Ms. Summers barged into Harper's Mansion uninvited, took our help away, and evenused force against our butler, which has greatly upset the old man. Before things are clarified, I willnot pass judgement, and I hope everyone can be patient and understand what truly happened."

Robin's words stirred the reporters. Words like “barging into Harper's Mansion, and “using forceagainst the Mansion's butler" were too conspicuous to ignore.

“What happened exactly?"

"How can we replace out the truth?"

Facing the restless reporters, Robin smiled. He made a gesture, and Addie, masked and somewhatconcealed, emerged from behind him. Sharp-eyed reporters started snapping photos even beforeAddie reached Robin's side.

Robin silently stepped aside.

Facing so many reporters for the first time, Addie's legs were shaking. After a while, she took adeep breath, and with trembling hands, removed her mask. Her beaten and swollen face wasexposed to all the media present.

The reporters went into a frenzy, bombarding her with questions.

"Ma‘am, why are you in this condition?"

“Are you the butler of the Harper family?"

"Can you tell us what happened?"

Addie, her swollen eyes squinting at the swarming crowd and the cacophony of questions,involuntarily stepped back.

Robin stood behind her, extending a hand to steady her. “Don't be nervous, just tell the truth as itis." Robin said.

Swallowing, Addie winced as the movement pulled at the wounds on her face. Hatred for Chloesurged in her heart.

Tears welled up in her swollen eyes and she began to sob, "This afternoon, Mr. Presley was takinga nap, and I was cleaning with the help. They made some mistakes, and having been supervisingthem daily, I lost my patience and scolded them. That's when Ms. Summers suddenly appeared inthe Harper's Mansion living room. I was just scolding the help, and they weren't fond of me, so Ms.Summers took advantage of their resentment, luring them away with promises of high wages andfreedom, and then encouraged them to attack me.

“I know she often has disagreernents with Mr. Presley, and I'm used to following his orders. I knowhe used to favor Ms. Wendy, and having watched Ms. Wendy grow up, I naturally have somepersonal bias towards her, often favoring her a little more. Ms. Chloe's smart, and she could seethat. This time it was clear she came to cause trouble. Not only did she cause me pain, but whenMr. Presley found out, he was extremely upset.

"The Harpers are good to us. It's the help who are ungrateful! They can't stand a few scoldings andhave to throw mud at the Harpers. It's unforgivable. That's the truth. The Harper family has nevermistreated or persecuted their help! If they did, it would have come out a long time ago, not now!And, Ms. Summers was the one who barged in. She came in like a storm, looking for trouble. Just

look at me now. I'm just a help, how could Choked with sobs, Addie paused to wipe tears from hereyes, looking as pitiful as could be. Though her account lacked a coherent narrative, it was clearenough. To sum it up. Chloe broke into the Harper family home, probably due to somedissatisfaction with the Harpers, looking to stir up trouble.

It was true that she assaulted the butler, took away the help, and upset the old man.

Everyone knew that the atmosphere between Ms. Summers and Presley at the Alonso family'sbusiness dinner was as tense as a drawn bowstring. Especially considering Presley had sent amessage, specifically to strip the privileges of the Harper family's eldest grandson. All of this couldpotentially be the reason why Chloe targeted the Harper family. Getting back at them seemed likethe natural consequence.

With this, all the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fall into place.

Having understood the truth of the matter, everyone outright dismissed the words of the servant.

"Did Ms. Summers only take away the servants when she went to the Harper family? What aboutthe rest? What else did she do?" The reporters asked.

Since she did go to the Harper family, and caused a stir, taking the servants seemed like a chanceencounter with Addie scolding a servant. She grabbed the chance to make a point. Shouldn't therebe more to the story?!

Addie nodded, "She didn't plan on seeing the old man when she entered the Harper Mansion,instead she went to..."

"Alright!" Robin suddenly stepped forward, interrupting her words with a light pat on her shoulder."Since everything has been explained, let's move on."

Addie, wiping her tears, nodded. Although she had just adjusted, she stepped back.
