Chapter 1589
Addie was roughed up by a few maids. They smothered her cries, punched, kicked, and even took
turns tickling her. Their roles were clearly divided.
Downstairs was a cacophony, but upstairs, it was eerily quiet. The soundproof design of the
mansion was often more professional than the professionals.
By the time Chloe appeared at the top of the stairs, the maids downstairs were exhausted. Addie
lay on the floor, and her face was a bruised mess. Her clothes were torn and disheveled, and she
was moaning in pain.
Even if she wanted to call for help, she couldn''t muster the strength.
She was vaguely threatening to sue them, to make them pay. Chloe raised an eyebrow, then turned
and left for another part of the second floor. When she checked back, the maids were standing in a
line, each with a wrapped parcel at their feet..
Chloe found it amusing. She believed in their efficiency. It was evident from their actions today.
Addie had managed to get up from the floor and was sitting amidst the mess. Her swollen face
turned towards Chloe, anger shing in her eyes. The angrier she got, the more the pain seemed to
intensify. Pain and anger coexisted.
Chloe finally stood before her, looking down, "Do they have enough reason to leave now? If not, I
believe they still have some energy."
Addie shuddered. She nced at the line of maids, whose eyes shining with anticipation. She
quickly shrank back, trying to hide.
Chloe watched her, a faint smile ying on her lips. Back at the Harper family, Addie had been a
regr informant for Wendy. Addie had managed to annoy her mother-inw, be in cahoots with
Wendy, and even manipte her father-inw to her advantage.
She knew all too well how Addie had gradually forced Marina out. This cunning old woman had
been disciplined by her mother-inw more than once, even expelled, but now she was living
carefree.
Carefree? If someone offended her, how could she let them live carefree?
"I''ve dirtied the stairs and the master bedroom. Remember, clean them thoroughly! Kneel there and
scrub!
Otherwise, you''ll be kicked out of the Harper family too." Chloe said.
"Mr. Presley won''t allow me to leave!” Addie jolted, wincing at the pain that shot through her body.
Chloe smirked, her eyes sparkling with amusement. To others, it was a beautiful sight. But to Addie,
it was chilling and intimidating.
Chloe said, "Who knows? If he could let you leave once, he can certainly let you leave again. He''s
the type who would disregard his own family for his reputation. Let''s see what tricks you have up
your sleeve to surpass his family''s ce in his heart."
Addie had no idea what Chloe was talking about. She was just a maid, why would she be
concerned about his reputation?
“Alright, let''s go.” Chloe announced to the line of maids, who immediately nodded with joy. They
were all young, d to finally escape this ce with a higher paycheck.
Now, the vast Harper family was left with only one maid. New maids mighte, but they were
content. They had personally beaten the old witch Addie and left her in a mess that she would have
to clean. If she waited for new maids to do it, she would indeed get fired. A full strike felt so
satisfying.
"You can''t leave!” Addie yelled. How was she supposed to exin a full strike to Mr. Presley?
Moreover, who would clean up this mess?
But who cared about her?
Chloe rolled up the document in her hand and lifted Addie''s swollen face, examining it for a long
moment before smiling faintly, “Not bad"
Addie frowned deeply. She nced at the rolled-up document in Chloe''s hand, vaquely seeing a
detailed color drawing. She squinted, unsure of what it was, but it must be something valuable from
the mansion. The Harper family was filled with valuable items. Whatever was in her hand was
surely a piece of art or a design blueprint.
Seeing Addie''s eyes fixed on the blueprint, Chloe raised an eyebrow and put the document away.
“Presley should be taking a nap, so I won''t disturb him. Just tell him I was here and this scene is
quite satisfying.” Chloe said.
If she saw Addie kneeling there and scrubbing the floor herself, it would be even more satisfying.
But that was just a coincidence. Chloe didn''t have time to stick around and watch Addie clean.
When Chloe left with the maids, they finally understood why Presley disliked Chloe so much yet she
could freely enter the Harper mansion. The guards she brought with her were of a much higher rank
than those currently in the Harper''s Mansion.
The Harper family always trained their guards in a military-like manner. Ranks were clearly defined.
Seeing someone of higher rank, the current Harper family guards dared not act rashly.
Though Presley had announced the removal of the young master''s family title, everyone understood
that bloodline couldn''t be eliminated.
Damon was not someone they could offend. Strictly speaking, they should listen to him. So now,
they were obedient, as docile as could be.
The group had arrived in separate cars, so the maids were quickly arranged into seats.
Chloe''s sleek limousine was quarded with utmost precision, stern faces and rigid postures of the
guards making the housekeepers shrink to the side of the car, clutching their parcels tightly.
Only when everyone had left did the grandeur of Harper''s Mansion echo with tranquility again.
Addie, confronted with the aftermath, couldn''t afford to ck off. Despite her sour expression, she
managed to stand and start tidying up.

After a hasty clean-up of the parlor, she was panting heavily. But the path of grape juice Chloe had
stepped on meandered its way upstairs.
Addie felt a wave of revulsion, recalling Chloe''s words. What was Chloe''s intention if not to see the
old man of Harper''s Mansion?
