Anne followed him to the study.
Anthony was sitting behind the desk, not working, leaning lazily on the seat, looking directly at her in a deep imposing manner.
“She disrespected me and wronged me. I hit her. Is there a problem?” Anne asked.
“You can deal with anyone in the Royal Mansion. You are the only mistress of the Royal Mansion.”
Anne’s pupils froze for a moment. This was the first time she had heard such explicit permission from Anthony.
Anthony had finally revealed his feelings for her.
However, she did not feel much except for surprise.
Anthony was unpredictable; this time, it may be fine, but it may not be next time.
Danger was everywhere with this unpredictable man.
As for what Mia did, there was no need to go into detail.
Anyway, she had achieved her purpose.
“You rarely target people like this. What did she do?”
Anne looked at Anthony’s black eyes, which were as deep as cold pools and seemed to be piercing into her body.
“Maybe because… she was abusing her power,” she said.
Anthony was not angry but was surprised by her response as he locked eyes with
her.
She said in a low voice, “Don’t think about useless things.”
Anne lowered her eyelashes, looked at him again, and said, “I’ll go outside for a walk. The kids will be out of class soon.”
Seeing that Anthony was not unhappy, she turned and left the study.
Hayden led people to search for Mia’s clothes and other supplies in the servant’s room where Mia was staying.
After all, the servants live in the Royal Mansion, and when they are fired, they always have to make sure they have not taken away things they should not have.
Fiona and Mia lived in the same house, and when Mia was fired, Fiona was surprised. She had not yet asked what was going on.
When the jewelry box was opened, Hayden recognized the famous tags and could not help but cast a glance at Mia, who was standing not far away.
How could an ordinary maid be able to afford such expensive jewelry?
It seemed that she was not what she seemed to be. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
While shaking the clothes, a small bottle fell out.
Seeing this, Mia’s expression changed slightly, and she hurried up to pick it up.
Hayden picked it up, held it in his hand, and looked at it. There was no label on the bottle. “What is this?”
Fiona said, “This is apparently pretty good. Mrs. Marwood was pregnant before, so I put this medicine in her food, and her morning sickness improved a lot.”
Mia’s face turned pale in an instant, and she still tried her best to restrain her panic. “I use it myself, and it’s very useful. Hayden, give it to me…” She stepped forward and wanted to take it.
Hayden withdrew his hand and did not give it to her. He clutched the medicine bottle and said, “You actually gave Mrs. Marwood something suspicious? It seems that the rules of the Royal Mansion have not been engraved in your mind.”
“No, I did it out of good intentions. At that time, Mrs. Marwood felt great after taking it..” Mia wanted to explain.
“We’ll find out later whether it’s really good or not. Lock Mia up. We’ll make a decision after finding out what’s inside,” Hayden told the others.
Mia’s face was ashen as she was dragged away.
Hayden walked up to Fiona and asked, “Why didn’t you report it?”
Fiona was already too frightened to know how to react. “Mia… she said it was harmless and good for morning sickness, and Mrs. Marwood did not report feeling uncomfortable after using it.”
“You should still report it, even if it’s good. Mr. Marwood instructed me that any food for Mrs. Marwood had to pass through my hands, but this time it wasn’t.” Hayden’s face looked very angry and menacing as he said, “We’ll have to wait for Mr. Marwood to decide what to do with you. Stay here.”
He thought Fiona was clueless, but sometimes lack of knowledge could be even
more detrimental.
Fiona was so scared that she became overwhelmed and lost her mental clarity.
