p!
The burning sensation assaulted Violet’s cheek.
Shocked, she raised her voice at Tara, “Ms. Avery, why did you p me?”
Tara wore a frosty look. “You little bitch, I can p you whenever I like!”
After Sylvia’s death, Tara came over more frequently than before, yet the housekeeper treated
her like some outsider.
Violet was infuriated. “Ms. Avery, please hold some respect for others. I only work here and I’m
also human!”
p!
Tara responded with another smack to Violet’s face.
“You are nothing but a little bitch. How dare you talk back to me? I’ll tell Odell to fire you and
make sure you can’t find another job in Westchester.”
Violet had never been threatened like this before.
She had heard from her friend working at Lake Victoria Vi that Tara was abusive. She felt bad for her
friend and thought that her friend was too weak to speak up, but now, she finally understood why the
latter chose tolerance over insurrection.
Tara did not treat the helpers like humans. She abused them because she had Odell’s support and
people without any background or influence could never defy her.
Violet clenched her teeth tightly.
Tara grunted scornfully at her.
It was then that the butler, Sebastian, appeared at the entrance.
He had heard the littlemotion inside and went in to check on the situation. He then saw Violet’s
reddish cheek and the afflicted expression she wore.
He asked, “What happened here?”
Violet choked emotionally, but before she could exin, Tara switched to her kind and caring persona
andined to Sebastian, “Sebastian, she almost dropped something on Grandmother’s face. I
reminded her to be careful, but she talked back to me, so I pped her.”
Sebastian frowned.
Violet felt terribly wronged. “No, it’s not...”
Tara interrupted her and said, “Stop trying to find an excuse. I know I’m a little impulsive to have
pped you, but if you continue to be careless, I won’t let it slip anymore.”
Her eyes were filled with frosty threats when she warned Violet.
Violet shot a desperate nce at Sebastian.
Sebastian stayed quiet for a moment before he scolded Violet, “Be careful next time!”
In response, Violet wept in silence.
Seeing Violet’spliance, Tara curled her lips into a subtle grin and then said to Sebastian,
“Sebastian, I have to go now.
Remember to talk to Violet about her work ethic. She’s lucky that I’m here. If it were Odell, she would
probably have been fired.”
Sebastian nodded and said, “I will.”
Tara then left the room.
After she went off, Violet broke down in tears and said, “Sebastian, I didn’t drop anything on Madam
Carter’s face. I’m always a careful person. You know that.”
Sebastian sighed. “I know, but she is Master Carter’s woman. Neither you nor I can afford to get on her
bad side. Wipe your tears away.”
“It doesn’t mean she can use people and twist the fact to her advantage!”
Sebastian finally understood why Madam Carter never liked Tara. She was indeed a vicious
woman with ruthless methods.
“Sigh. Madam Carter remainsatose, Sylvia is gone, and that woman ising here more
and more frequently. She even gets toe and go as she will. It’s only a matter of time before
she bes the owner of the house. I think you’d better learn how to tolerate her temper.”
“Who gave her the permission toe and go as she wills? Madam is still—”
Before she could finish venting, Violet immediately covered her mouth as she suddenly
remembered something important.
Sebastian looked at her with a raised brow. “Madam is still?”
Violet immediately rearranged her words and continued, “Madam is still... I mean she still has
two kids. Both Isabel and Liam don’t

like that woman either.”
“Isabel and Liam are just two four-year-olds, what could they possibly do to that woman?”
Sebastian refused to linger on the topic. He waved his hand and said, “Pull yourself together and
watch over Madam Carter.”
Sebastian then left the room.
Violet wiped her tears away and pulled her phone out to text. “ Madam, can I go over to your
ce tonight?”
She got a reply almost instantly.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
