<b>Chapter </b><b>389 </b>
Erica paced nervously <b>in </b>the backyard garden after talking to Evadne on the phone.
It was the first time she had done something like this in her life, and it was understandable that her mentalposure wasn’t strong.
With <b>a </b>sense of anxiety, Erica returned to the mansion.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Mr. Thaddeus, who had been absent for a long time, walking into the mansion!
“<b>Mr. </b>Thaddeus!”
Erica rushed over to Thaddeus, her face pale and sweat dripping from her forehead,
Despite she had been serving as a maid in the mansion for many <b>years</b>, she had never dared to speak to him directly. Somehow, she mustered up the courage to stop him. Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter<b>?</b>”
“I… I… You…” Erica cursed herself for being spineless, her tongue tying up at crucial moment.
“Take your time.” Thaddeus gazed at her calmly.
In the past, he would never have had such patience, but now, influenced by Evadne, he was more affable and humane.
Erica bit her l*p, her face turning red with the effort of holding back.
Should she tell Mr. Thaddeus now? Tell him that his mother was killed by Elspeth?
Would he believe it?
Erica took a step forward, whispering as there was no one nearby, “Mr. Thaddeus, tonight I will secretly meet with Ms. Evadne at a certain ce. Can <b>you </be?<b>” </b>Thaddeus‘ eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward abruptly, “What did you say? You’re going to?”
“Erica! What are you doing?!”
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from above.
Erica looked up abruptly to see Glynnis‘ fierce face, and she froze in fear.
Thaddeus noticed her unusual behavior, thinking that what she wanted <b>to </b>say but hesitated might be rted to Glynnis.
“Hurry up here! <b>I </b><b>just </b>got some new clothes,e and tidy them up for me, quickly!” Glynnis urged impatiently.
“Yes, Ms. Glynnis!”
Erica tightly pursed her l*ps, nced at Thaddeus in a dilemma.
Thaddeus stepped closer to her and in a voice only they could hear, he said, “Later, I’ll have Mr. Gordon contact you. Tell him the address where you’ll meet Ms. Evadne tonight.”
Erica rushed to Glynnis‘ room, finding a stack of clothes awaiting her organization.
Glynnis lounged with her legs crossed <b>on </b>the sofa, sipping red wine as she watched Erica’s bustling figure.
“What did you say to my brother <b>just </b>now?”
Erica felt as if a knife had been pressed against her back but forced herself to remainposed, “I just ran into Mr. Thaddeus and greeted him. He asked me to fetch him <b>a </b>bottle of red wine from the cer and bring it to his studyter.“–
“Hmph, <b>my </b>brother has plenty of servants around him, not to mention Gordon. Why would he need you<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Glynnis‘ gaze darkened as she sneered, “Could it be that you have some inappropriate thoughts, trying <b>to </b>climb the socialdder? Do you not have a mirror to reflect on your own conduct<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Erica felt a sudden relief upon hearing Glynnis‘ harsh words.
“Erica, you should know the kind of rtionship I have with Thaddeus. If you got to him and say things that shouldn’t be said, be careful. I might make things difficult for you.”
“Yes<b>, </b><b>I </b>understand.” Erica responded meekly.
Glynnis leaned back on the sofazily, “I’m going out tonight, and I might note back.”
Erica felt a hidden joy!
? 1.
She had been worrying about finding an excuse to go out and meet Ms. Evadne tonight, and now she <b>finally </b>had the opportunity.
“You don’t need toe and serve meter. <b>Go </b>rest early, consider it a break I’m giving you.”
“Thank you, Ms. Glynnis
Erica tidied up the glothes and left the room.
As soon as she left, Glynnis‘ expression changed instantly, and she called Elspeth.
“Mom, I deliberately gave Erica the night off, just to y a cat–and–mouse game<b>! </b>I saw her talking to Thaddeus secretly just now. Who knows<b>, </b>maybe she’s a spy Thaddeus nted by my side!”
“A <b>cat</b><b>–</b>and–mouse game<b>?</b><b>” </b>Elspeth’s tone was displeased.
<b>“</b>Yes<b>! </b>Erica is just a maid; she wouldn’t dare to do such a thing unless she had someone backing her up. This way, I can lure out the person manipting her from behind and find out who dares to go against <b>us</b>!” <b>Glynnis </b>revealed a cunning smile, proud of her n.
“You fool! How did I ended up with such a stupid child!<b>” </b>
、
Elspeth scolded her mercilessly, “You’re letting the tiger back into the mountain, did you realize <b>that</b><b>?! </b><b>I </b>told you <b>to </b>keep an eye <b>on </b>her, and you actually let her interact with others<b>?! </b>The person opposing us doesn’t need much thought. Besides Thaddeus<b>, </b>it’s Evadne! What <b>if </b><b>she </b><b>secretly </b><b>contacts </b>Evadne <b>tonight</b>? If she leaks <b>that </b>information, <b>it </b>will ruin everything!”
Glynnis shook violently, pped her forehead suddenly, feeling like she was a fool for not thinking things through.
“Tonight, Erica will definitely make a move.”
