’What’s all this gibberish? Talk properly!” Sophia said sternly.
The maid took a deep breath and explained, “There was a new maid last night, wearing a
uniform of a better quality than ours. She said that she was sent over to keep an eye on
Francine, so I brought her to the room and left her there alone… I did not expect that both
the new maid and Francine would disappear like that! So the person who helped Francine
escape must be her!’
’How dare she?!” Austin was fuming, feeling like the authority of the Baldwin family had
been challenged. He said furiously, “Who is that reckless person? How dare she sneak into
the Baldwin mansion and do this right under my nose?! She really does not take us
seriously! Start an investigation immediately, and when you find her, break her limbs right
away. She has to know that the Baldwin family cannot be messed with!”
Jack nodded and said to the head of the soldiers stationed around them,” What are you
waiting for? Send a team to barricade the whole place and carry out a thorough search. We
must catch the woman who dares to fight against the Baldwin family!”
Renee buried her head in her arms the whole time, not daring to take a breath. She was
afraid that the maid would recognize her.
She watched the soldiers leave in the armoured vehicles and gulped anxiously. ‘Are these
people for real? Must they be so serious? If they find out that I was the traitor who let go of
her, would they really break my limbs?’
Actually, when Renee thought about it, it wasn’t that surprising. The Baldwin family were
used to dictatorship, and used harsh punishments to reinforce their power in Sutton and the
entire land of Jaseraux to expand their reign.
“Let’s eat first. We don’t want bad news spoiling Ren’s breakfast,” Sophia said quickly to the
men.
The family agreed, and before they ate, they stood up and sang the national anthem in a
loud and clear voice. 1
Renee was so frustrated by all their rules. ‘No wonder Haze ran away years ago to become
a hacker. I would escape as well if I were him!’
Renee was actually planning to confess to the Baldwin family after breakfast and ask for
their forgiveness. After that, she would leave this place. The sooner, the better!
At the same time, the maid, who had been standing submissively with her head lowered,
raised her head cautiously. As soon as she saw Renee’s face, her eyes widened in
realisation and she yelled, “It’s her! She’s the new maid. She’s the one who released
Francine!”
The Baldwin family was startled and looked at Renee.
The maid pointed at Renee and continued, “Although it was dark last night and she
disguised herself well, I can tell that she’s the new maid from last night. Her eyes are
exactly the same, and there was a mole near her left eye!”
Renee lowered her head in embarrassment and inwardly groaned. ‘Oh no, I forgot to cover
the mole under my left eye! It’s so faint, I thought no one would notice it!’
The members of the Baldwin family were certainly special – even a maid had such good
observation skills.
“Ren, is there anything you want to say about this?” Sophia patted her shoulder gently and
said, “Don’t be scared. If it’s you, you should just admit it – we won’t blame you. If it wasn’t
you, this maid who slandered you will be at your disposal!”
“I…” Renee inhaled deeply, wondering whether to admit it.
At that moment, Justin, who had been watching everything silently, suddenly spoke, “Alright,
we can stop the guessing game now -1 was the one who let her go
