Chapter 1591
Chloe''s faint smile was the only reaction to the effervescent atmosphere around her. She made her
way towards the parking lot after another bout of press interviews, trailed by a swarm of reporters,
each eager to dig up even the tiniest morsel of news.
As they followed Chloe to the parking lot, they were greeted by a line of young maids, their youthful
faces betraying their profession. They were d in typical ck and white maid uniforms. Seeing
Chloe, they bowed their heads slightly although their faces were etched with slight tension.
Chloe responded with a soft smile, "Get in the car, everyone."
The maids nced questioningly at the reporters behind Chloe, but obediently turned around to
board the car..
They had chosen to keep their uniforms, which were unique to the Harper family, because they had
paid for them out of their own pockets as per requests of Addie. They might as well continue to use
them in their future jobs as maids. When they decided to leave the Harper family, they took off these
uniforms and packed them away.
The reporters gathered around the scene with their lenses trained on the maids. Their faces turned
slightly pale.
"Ms. Summers, are these all your maids from your household?" One of the reporters finally asked.
Chloe paused for a moment.
The reporters behind her, eager to make headlines, started clicking away at their cameras. Their
lenses were trained on the line of maids.
There were a total of ten maids. If Chloe indeed had these maids all to herself, it could be seen as a
bit extravagant. A ssic case of squandering socialbor. Luxury cars, ck-d bodyguards, and
young and beautiful maids. It seemed like a scene straight out of a royal court.
Turning around, Chloe smiled at the cameras, her smile genuine and natural.
"They are the people I intend to take home. Don''t overthink it.” She responded, seeing right through
the reporters’ intentions, leaving them a tad embarrassed.
“But, ten maids, isn''t that too much?" The reporters asked.
Chloe sighed softly, leaning against the car door, "Even if I had more, I could still afford their wages.
Perhaps, my dear journalist friend, you''re being a tad too nosy."
The reporters, however, didn''t let go of the topic so easily, “Ms. Summers, as a public figure,
shouldn''t you be more mindful of your public image."
Chloe raised an eyebrow, studying the reporter for a moment before her gaze fell, hiding the
amusement and sarcasm in her eyes. "Public image.” She muttered under her breath.
“We are the maids of the Harper family! We were treated unfairly and it was Ms. Summers who
stood up for us, allowing us to escape!" The maid who had previously stood up for Vanya in
Harper''s Mansion was the first to speak.
Her voice and expression were filled with defiance and usation. She added, "And besides, I''ve
never heard that hiring more maids if you''re wealthy is something abhorrent. What is this public
image? Is it a standard for everyone to follow? If so, Ms. Summers, who runs a sessful
company, treats her employees well and is incredibly wealthy, should be the standard everyone
aspires to, shouldn''t she? If you had the capability and the money like her, maybe you wouldn''t be
here, grilling her about the number of maids she has. using her of influencing the public
negatively is merely because you don''t have what she has. If you did, perhaps you wouldn''t be
saying these things."
The maid''s words left the room silent. Who wouldn''t want to have billions at their disposal, and to do
whatever they wanted? What was ten maids inparison to that?
Living in mansions, traveling the world, enjoying wealth and luxury, spending money freely, and
being admired and envied, these were things everyone dreamed of!
Work, careers, and ambitions. They sounded nice. But apart from work, which was for the poor,
careers and ambitions were pursued only by the wealthy.
The reporters were left speechless. At this point, anything they said would only highlight their
jealousy.
Chloe curled her lips into a smile, turning to look at the maid who had spoken. She nodded subtly at
her. The maid blushed as her eyes met Chloe''s. She bit her lip and quickly lowered her gaze. Chloe
then turned to the reporter who had asked her the question earlier. "Any other questions?" She
asked.
The reporter hesitated under Chloe''s gaze, then shook his head.
Chloe raised an eyebrow, opened the car door, and got in. The maids also boarded the car one by
one. Just before they drove off, one of the reporters managed to get in onest question, "Earlier,
you said you were mistreated. May I ask where you previously worked?"
It was the same maid who had previously spoken up. She turned around and said, clear as day,
“We used to work at Harper''s Mansion."
The reporters gasped, their faces paling. Before they could ask anything else, the maids had all
gotten into the car.
Chloe, however, didn''t drive away immediately. She rolled down the window, her gaze sweeping
over the sea of reporters before finallynding on one. He wore a press badge from P City, a
reputed entertainment magazine known for its high sales and poprity.
Under the envious gaze of his colleagues, he walked up to Chloe. “What can I do for you, Ms.
Summers?" He asked.
Chloe smiled and held up a sh drive.
"Exclusive scoop.” She said.
His eyes lit up and he reached out excitedly to grab it, but Chloe pulled it back just in time.
"Miss Summers, what do you mean?” He asked in surprise.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Chloe gave a wry smile and raised an eyebrow, "The reason I chose your magazine is because you
folks are known for fair and impartial reporting. As for this..."
She lightly shook the USB stick in her hand, "I can''t be sure about the ripple effect it will create. But
here''s a piece of advice for you, don''t rush to publish it. Wait a bit. If you stubbornly insist on
broadcasting it immediately, believe me, it will sink like a lead balloon. How to make the most of it,
well, that''s up to your judgement"
