Chapter 1597

The sight of him instantly dampened Addie’s previously buoyant mood. She was so taken abackthat her smile faltered. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly approached Presley, her facefull of anger directed at the surrounding housemaids. “What on earth are you all doing? This isn’tthe place for maid interviews! Come, follow me to the back”

Seeing Addie’s sudden appearance, the expressions of the housemaids changed visibly. A mix offear, contempt, anger, disdain, and disgust crossed their faces.

The sight of such expressions on their faces infuriated Addie, and she quickly dropped her pleasantdemeanor She questioned, “Didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf? Maid interviews belong in the back,now move!” Her tone was irritable and her words were harsh.

The maids rolled their eyes, “We didn’t intend to work here! We were just here to say goodbye tothe people, then we planned to leave

Addie’s face darkened even more. “Not planning to work here? Then why did you come here in thefirst place?“c2

“Well, we did intend to work here initially, but who knew what kind of person you were? We’d ratherearn less than be oppressed by you every day! Another maid spoke up, not hiding her disdain forAddie.

The words of the maids and their attitude made Addie livid to the point of nearly exploding.

Addie’s voice grew colder this time, “What do you mean? What oppression are you talking about?I’ve clarified everything in front of the reporters, and you’re here to stir up trouble? If you don’t wantto work, then just leave. With this attitude, it seems like you won’t obey rules in the future”

At first, her words were a bit unfiltered, but she realized there was Presley, sitting in the living room,and quickly corrected herself

Addie said. “Sir, I don’t think these servants are genuinely willing to work. If not, we should let themgo, and we can replace new ones”

Presley said, “I’m sitting here today, and you’re talking to people with this attitude. If I weren’t here,would you be even more unrelenting?”

Presley, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a stern tone, sitting there without evenbatting an eyelid.

Addie paused, feeling a bit nervous. “Of course not, sir. Normally, as long as they do their jobs andfulfill their responsibilities, I won’t make it

difficult for them.”

“Is that so?” Presley spoke again, his voice cold.

But hearing Addie’s words, a few of the servants by her side, particularly those with strongerpersonalities, couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic chuckle They looked up at Presley and said. “Sir,we’ve made it very clear. We earn our wages, and we’re not afraid of being supervised. But wereally dare not work under Addie. Rather than being oppressed by her in the future and then beingkicked out, it’s better if we quit now. We re truly

sorry for the inconvenience today”

One person spoke up first and then others followed, bowing respectfully to Presley and preparing toleave.

Addie was so infuriated by the words and attitudes of these servants that she felt like her head wasabout to explode. She gave them a murderous look. “You don’t dare to work under me? What onearth do you mean by this?”

The maids ignored her, avoiding her like the plague as they made to leave

“Hold on Presley’s voice suddenly halted their retreat. He lifted his head, his gaze focusing onAddie. His eyes were cold and indifferent. Addie

had rarely seen him like this

“Addie, I’ve always trusted you” Presley said.

Addie nodded quickly. “Yes, I’ve always been grateful for your kindness and trust”

Presley scoffed, “Trust?”

His scoff sent chills down Addie’s spine She looked at Presley cautiously, sensing the icy mockeryin his eyes.

After a long while he sighed deeply, closing his eyes and shaking his head Presley said, “Trust? Theword now only makes me seem more foolish! To have allowed such an arrogant and sycophanticperson by my side for decades!”

Addie was completely taken aback Even Robin, who had just entered from the back, was stunnedby Presley’s words. “What happened?” Robinia words brought Addie back to her senses

“What did I do wrong, sir? Ive already clarified everything in front of the reporters, didn’t I?” Shepaused, her gaze landing on the maids, and snapped “Speak up Did you gossip about me to themaster? What did I do to offend you? Oh, I see, did someone pay you to smear me?”

The maids rolled their eyes in disbelief One of the maids said. “Who would bother to hear you?You’ve already disgraced yourself enough an front of the media! Do you really think you’re somesort of big shot? You think people need to unwar you?

Addie had no idea what ‘disgrace the maid was referring to Seeing the situation turning against her,she quickly moved closer to Presity. don’t be swayed by their words I’ve been by your side for manyyears, dont you know what kind of person i am? Everything was fine before today They must havebeen bribed by Chipel it’s not enough for her to take away all our maids, the even senda people tocontinue causing

trouble here it’s too much.”

“So, were you also bribed by her? Presley asked

Addie was taken aback, “What?”

Presley pursed his lips picked up the mole, and resumed the paused TV On the screen, Aditie wasseen in her interview, her face tear and pathetic. Even after the interview ended,

But the next moment, the scene on the TV changed to another video. It started with the scene ofAddie lounging on the sunlit terrace at the Harper family mansion earlier that afternoon, her legscrossed as she savored a piece of fruit

Just a single glance, and Addie’s eyes suddenly widened. Her face turned sheet pale as if she hadseen a ghost.
