“What nonsense are you spouting, fake?” Chelsey spat, looking at Linda in disbelief.
Linda smiled at her indifferently. “I’m not spouting nonsense. If you remember correctly, I’m the woman
whom Mr. Bo married in front of the priest. If you bully me and look down on me, it means that you look
down on Mr. Bo, too. Don’t you think he should punish insolent servants like you?”
Chelsey’s eyes widened. Turning to Cecil, she stammered, “S… Sir…”
Without even looking at her, Cecil casually said, “Apologize to her.”
For a moment, Chelsey wondered if she had misheard, but then she heard the cold and stern voice
again. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Hearing these words, Chelsey opened and closed her mouth like a goldfish, looking at her employer in
disbelief for a long time before turning to Linda again. Reluctantly, she mumbled, “I’m sorry.”
Linda looked at her pointedly and asked, “Sorry for what?”
Chelsey’s lips trembled with unwillingness. “You…”
“I what? Ms. Su, I’m wounded all over because of you. If you apologize to me now, I’ll just think of them
as dog bites. But if you don’t apologize, you’ll be fired on the spot,” Linda explained, tilting her chin up
at Chelsey.
Chelsey’s nose flared with anger.
How could this fake be confident enough to talk to her like this? In fact, Chelsey used to work for
Cecil’s mother.
It was only because she was so concerned about Mr. Bo that she had proposed to work here, and his
mother had agreed. But now, this random woman dared to say that she would be fired?
To her dismay, she found that her boss did not stop or contradict the woman next to him.
She had had a knack for perceiving others’ expressions since she was a child, so she naturally
understood what his silence meant.
She took a step b
ack and made a deep bow. “I’m sorry, Miss Ye.”
Linda didn’t want to make things difficult for the housekeeper anymore. After all, this was also Cecil’s
fault for not treating her well in front of the servants. In the end, Linda just wanted to be given some
basic respect and dignity. “Okay,” she said softly.
Chelsey stayed silent and looked at her boss. After getting a signal from him, she hurried out of the
living room.
Once her figure completely disappeared out of sight, Linda stood up from the sofa. Because of the
wounds on her body, she could only walk at a snail’s pace. She gritted her teeth to keep from crying out
in pain, but every now and then, small pained moans would escape from between her lips.
The whole time, Cecil just watched her without saying a word.
Linda turned back to him with her lips pursed. Her shoulders were slumped, and her attitude was
completely different from when she had confronted Chelsey just now. “Mr. Bo, you asked me to have a
rest, but I don’t know where to go.”
With a sneer, Cecil uttered one single word.
“Bedroom.”
Linda’s eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.
‘He kicked me out last night, but now he’s letting me sleep in the bedroom?’ She couldn’t figure out
what he was thinking at all.
Perhaps he just didn’t want the Ye family to think that he had mistreated her.
But still, were they supposed to sleep in the same room at night? Thinking of this, Linda’s heart raced.
If her true identity hadn’t been exposed and Cecil still believed that she was Leona, then it would be
natural for her to sleep next to him in the master bedroom. But now that everything was out in the open,
how could she sleep in the same room as him?
Not only was she embarrassed, but she also couldn’t help feeling nervous.
