Chapter 1598

The moment her eyes met the screen, Addie’s pupils dilated and her face drained of color. Her legsturned to jelly, shaking uncontrollably. What she saw was her own actions, displayed with the clarityof a high–definition, 1080p video. Every expression, every word, every action was laid

bare for all to see.

There it was, footage of her forcing the servants to scrub the floors on their knees, and threateningthem with dismissal. The moment where she casually tossed an apple core on the floor, expectingthe maids to clean it up. The scene where she demanded they polish her shoes. All these scenesplayed out on the screen, causing Addie’s legs to buckle beneath her collapsing to the floor in shock

From the moment he’d switched on the TV. Presley had turned his head, attempting to avoid thepainful sight. However, the sounds alone were enough to enrage him. His forehead throbbed withpulsing veins, and his breath was coming in ragged gasps

“What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you’ve been bought off by that woman too, helping her stage thiswhole act?” Presley demanded, his icy gaze

fixed on Addie

“I“Addie stammered, her mind in chaos, not knowing what to say.c2

“Addie all these years, is this who you’ve really been? Did you think I was a fool, playing me for allthis time?“”

“No, sir, I didn’t.

“How do you explain the video then?!” Presley roared, his cane pounding on the floor to punctuatehis words.

Addie, trembling with fear, clenched her eyes shut. Her body shook violently with each thunderousboom of Presley’s voice and the pounding of his cane on the floor “Sir, I just wanted them to obeyme, to do their work properly. They were used to Marina’s management, so it was hard for me todiscipline them…”

“And your idea of discipline is what? Having them bow down to you, treating them like your slaves,expecting them to polish your shoes daily?”

Presley’s voice boomed through the room, reducing Addie to tears. “No, sir…”

“Addie! These people are employees of the Harper family. They’re here to help us. We wouldn’tdare treat them as slaves, but you they are someone’s cherished children! How dare you treat themthe way you did?!

“Chloe was right, you’re worse than the harshest head housemaid of the old manor houses! Andyou have the audacity to play the victim in front of the press? What do you have to complain about?You should see how people are talking about you outside! You’re utterly shameless!!”

Presley was furious, his voice almost cracking with his anger. He glared at Addie, his face a mask ofanger and disappointment “You’ve made a fool of me again! First Wendy, and now you! Do youhave any idea how much damage you’ve done to our company in just half an hour?”

“I’ve always wondered why Elizabeth couldn’t stand you, now I understand I’ve been blind, fooledfor decades, blindly trusting and protecting you Presley shook his head with a bitter smile on hisface What had his life come to? His most treasured grandson was now blinded by a woman Hiseldest son gave up his power for a woman. His wife refused to live with him. Even Wendy, whom he

watched grow up, turned out to be a disgrace And now Addie, who had been by his side fordecades

The people closest to him, the ones he trusted most All of them had deceived and betrayed him

After venting all his anger, he finally calmed down

The young servants who had come for job interviews were terrified, hiding in the corner,speechless. The room was silent, save for Addies sobs. which seemed to grow louder in the quietAfter a long while, Presley took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. “You should leave, AddreThere’s no place for you in the Harper family”

At these words. Addie’s crying stopped abruptly. She quickly scrambled to Presley’s side, clinging tohis leg, begging for mercy. “Six, / know wrong I’ll change, I promise! Please give me anotherchance, for the sake of my many years of loyal service to you! I’ve always been loyal Harper family,sir, I can assure you

Addies eyes widened in shock She clung to Presleys leg tightly, shaking it “Siz please give meanother chance

Addies desperate ones echoed through the room, causing Presley head to pound. Finally, he roaredout in annoyance. “Get out!”

Her words allowed Presley to catch the resentment in Addie’s eyes, and his heart, which had begunto soften, hardened again in an instant.

He pushed Addie aside, barking, “Get out of here! Now!!”
