Joanna was shocked, then erupted in an angry shout. "Housekeeper, how could you get caught doing something so simple? I gave you so much money, and you haven''t given me a single useful piece of information. Instead, you get yourself discovered?"


    She was nning to use the housekeeper to frame Natalie.


    If it weren''t for her pregnancy and the surgery, which dyed her ns, Natalie would have already been thrown to the wolves by now.


    Natalie''s life was going so well now. Why was nothing going right for her?


    "Ms. Scott, the old madam said she found evidence. I don''t know what it is, but she''s going to have the police arrest me. What do I do now? You''re the one who told me to do everything."


    The housekeeper was now pinning everything on Joanna.


    Joanna thought for a moment, then said, "Look, if the police areing for you, it''s probably because you stole the old madam''s jewelry. Return everything you stole, put it all back. When the police arrive, just make an excuse..."


    The housekeeper listened to Joanna''s advice, thinking she was clever, but it was already toote.


    "Joanna, I hear you, but it''s toote. I''ve already sold most of the jewelry. I''ve already spent the money..." the housekeeper''s voice was barely a whisper.


    Joanna was furious. The idiot. So greedy.


    "Housekeeper, I''ve known you for years, and you''re just insatiable, aren''t you? Is there no limit to your greed? You stole a fortune in jewelry. Do you have any idea how many lifetimes you''ll spend behind bars for that? But as long as you don''t leave any leverage against yourself, you can be safe.


    "Remember, don''t say I ordered you to do anything. Otherwise, your son might spend the rest of his life in prison. I have dirt on your son, so you''d better think carefully before you speak.


    "I''ve told you what to do. Whether you seed is up to you. I''ll help protect your son. Are you going to sacrifice yourself to protect him, or will you both go down together? Think about that before you say anything."


    Joanna threatened her coldly. She knew the housekeeper cared most about her


    son.


    The housekeeper knew Joanna was threatening her.


    She had embezzled enough money from the Griffith family over the years. She''d bought a vi and saved up arge sum for her son.


    "Ms. Scott, I know what to do. If I get arrested, I won''t rat you out, but you have to protect my son. I''ve also given evidence of your instructions to a friend of mine. If anything happens to my son, that friend will give the evidence to Sebastian."


    She had always been a good judge of character. Someone like Joanna would never be satisfied.


    Her ambition was obvious, but she was stupid. All these years, and she still hadn''t managed to marry into


    the Griffith family and enjoy its wealth and status.  fo


    Instead, it was she, the servant, who had reaped the benefits.


    She had lived in this grand mansion for over a decade, with a luxury car to take her grocery shopping.


    But what about Joanna? In the end, she still wasn''t qualified to marry in. She wasn''t before, and she probably never would be.


    On the other end of the line, Joanna''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    She never thought she''d be threatened by the housekeeper. It was always her doing the threatening.


    She had always been the dominant one, used to controlling the situation and using threats to get her way.


    But now, the tables had turned, catching herpletely off guard.


    "Housekeeper, I never realized you could be so shameless. You dare to threaten me like this?" Joanna''s voice was a furious hiss.


    The housekeeper chuckled. "Ms. Scott, when dealing with someone as maniptive as you, I naturally had to be careful. Sebastian may tob dote on you but he has no intention of marrying you."
