Chapter 1586


    [Hey dear, the training was a smashing sess!]


    Chloe chuckled and responded with a quick text: [You''re the best!) Ten secondster.


    [Now, I''m officially prepping to start working on the costumes. Time to show my real skills!].


    Chloe: [OK, all set!] After she put down her phone, Chloe leaned back on the couch, her slender


    fingers were lightly touching her chin and her eyes were sparkling with mischief. Her lips curved into


    a slight smile.


    Damon emerged from the kitchen, catching her expression. His dark eyes reflected a blend of


    exasperation and affection. What on earth was this woman thinking now? Always full of surprises


    and ideas.


    “What are you thinking about?" He asked.


    Chloe lifted her gaze, watching the tall man stride toward her. Her eyes locked onto him. He looked


    back,pletely clueless about what was going on in her mind.


    Damon was sure that the look in her eyes meant she was scheming something about him. It wasn''t


    until he sat down next to her that she finally spoke, "My dressst night, it was pretty, wasn''t it?"


    This random question caught Damon off guard, but he still responded, "You always look great."


    She gave up expecting any substantial response from him at this point. "I wonder what Robin would


    think of it"


    She mumbled, her expression conflicted.


    Damon furrowed his brows, "What did you say?"


    Chloe nced at him, then suddenly patted Damon''s shoulder, “You''re in for a treat."


    Damon raised an eyebrow; he genuinely had no idea what she was nning now.


    "Let''s eat!" Chloe said.


    Three o''clock in the afternoon, at the Harper''s Mansion.


    Addie was sitting on the sunlit patio on the first floor, eating an apple while instructing the


    housemaids to clean.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    The maids were silently cleaning every corner of the house. They harbored resentment, but the high


    sry offered by the Harper family kept them silent.


    Marina, the previous housemaid, had been pushed out by Addie some time ago. Now, Addie, the


    one with the longest tenure, was the one calling the shots.


    Presley of the Harper family didn''t bother with household affairs, so they had to follow Addie''s


    arrangements.


    Any mistake would lead to a scolding and punishment.


    If they were scolded by a member of the Harper family, they would ept it as they were from a


    distinguished family and spoke with grace. Addie had been working for the Harper family for a long


    time, yet her brash demeanor remained. Her insults were unpleasant to hear.


    “Here, under the table leg. Did you clean the gap at this joint? Vanya,e here, clean it!"


    Every inch of this house was cleaned daily. For the floor, Addie demanded them to wipe it by


    kneeling down. If once wasn''t enough, they must do it twice. Considering the size of the Harper


    mansion, across several floors, it was both time-consuming andborious.


    Vanya, the maid called upon, came to Addie, squatted down and wiped the area under the table leg.


    When she tried to stand up, her knee hurt and she fell back onto the floor.


    "Ah!" The dull thud between her knee and the floor indicated how painful it was.


    Vanya groaned in pain, and Addie''s cold voice echoed, "Who are you trying to fool? Do you usually


    squat to clean


    the floor?"


    Vanya''s eyes reddened, "But it''s not dirty there.”


    Addie questioned, "Can you see clearly without getting closer?" Saying this, she pushed Vanya''s


    head towards the floor. “What about now?" Addie asked.


    At this moment, all the maids stopped their work and stared at Addie with discontent. Vanya bit her


    lip, and her tears started to fall.


    “Why are you crying? Do you think the floor is not dirty enough?!" Addie suddenly grabbed Vanya''s


    hair, yanked her up, and dragged her over, "Even this ce is dirty. Remember to clean it up for


    me!"


    Vanya, with tears in her eyes, noticed the apple juice on the floor. It was the juice from Addie''s


    apple. After releasing Vanya, Addie turned to the other maids, her gaze growing colder, "What are


    you looking at?"


    The maids were even more furious.


    Addie chuckled, tossed the apple core from her hand onto the ground in front of the maids, and


    slowly walked over. "I know you prefer Marina and have manyints about me! But don''t


    forget, Marina is gone now. In this house, I''m in charge! You''d better behave and listen, or pack your


    bags and get out!” Addie threatened.


    “Addie, you''re crossing the line. Even if Mr. Presley were here, he wouldn''t side with you!"


    “That''s right! No matter what, we have rights too! We ept the consequences if our work is not up


    to par, but what you''re doing is too much! We work for the Harpers, not you! If you spill juice, we''ll


    clean it up, but it doesn''t mean you can shove our faces into it! None of the Harpers would treat us


    this way! Who do you think you are?!"


    Addie scoffed, "Who doesn''t want to y the good guy? They are all good people, so of course, I


    have to be the bad quy! Can they watch you work all day like me?"


    The maids clenched their lips in anger, unable to refute her words. As each one of them remained


    silent, Addie tilted her chin up, her gaze icy as she stared at them. She stepped forward, crushing


    the apple core she’d just tossed onto the ground under her boot. The apple core was smashed to


    bits, juice sttering on the ground.


    Addie lifted her foot, scraping her shoe against the ground next to it, "Everyone wants to y the


    hero, so I guess that leaves me to y the viin!"


    She said this, turning to the maid who had first stepped up to protest, ordering, "You, clean this up!


    And...” She paused, kicking off her slippers, “They''re dirty. Make sure they''re cleaned!"


    “Why should 1?!" The maid shot back immediately, her voice full of discontent.
