As the staff at the Nacht residence didn’t like Cynthia, they quickly formed a bond with the Lindberg family staff.
It didn’t take long for Mrs. Rawlston to be on good terms with Lupine.
Lupine checked with Mrs. Rawlston as to whether there was a need to bring the Lindberg family’s cooks over. After all, she was worried that Mrs. Rawlston couldn’t cope.
Mrs. Rawlston reassured her that it was all right as they had nothing much to do before that. Now that Charlotte was back and the family reunited, the atmosphere in the villa was extremely vibrant.
All the maids were delighted and were more than willing to help.
Lupine was touched to hear their response. She was also surprised by how attached the old maids of the Nacht family were to Charlotte.
In fact, Mrs. Rawlston even told her that they saw her as family. Hence, she didn’t need to behave like a stranger.
Lupine nodded and reminded them not to overexert themselves. They should let her know if they couldn’t cope and she would arrange for more help.
After acknowledging what Lupine said, Mrs. Rawlston returned to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Molly sighed aloud and commented that the villa felt different now that the real lady of the house was back.
Obviously, she had said it just to spite Cynthia.
At that moment, everyone in the house ignored Cynthia as if she was invisible. In fact, she was even resented by many of them.
The Blackwoods had brought eight medical staff. Now that three had been kicked out, there were still five left. They too were ignored.
When Cynthia returned to the room with a grim expression, the five of them quickly approached her.
“Ms. Cynthia, why don’t we go home? Since, these people don’t like us, staying here will just cause them to resent us.”
“Exactly. Even the maids dislike us. Despite doing so much, they don’t appreciate us at all. So, why should we stay here and suffer?”
“Now that his wife is back with such fanfare, I’m afraid it might be troublesome for you to stay back given how powerful she is-”
Slap!
Before the nurse could finish, Cynthia gave her a slap.
Fill with rage, she put all her strength into it.
Even though the nurse’s cheek was swollen red with a clear palm print on it, she lowered her head and didn’t dare make a sound. Gritting her teeth, tears gradually rolled down her cheeks.
Cynthia raised her chin in an intimidating manner so that she could look her in the eye. After that, she signed angrily, ”Listen well. I paid all of you so much to work for me. Even if you need to suffer, so be it!”
“Yes!” the medical staff meekly replied.
“The Lindbergs and the Nachts are mortal enemies. Zachary won’t want to get together with Charlotte. Even if he does, we can rely on Mr. Nacht to stop them.” Cynthia continued to sign, ”I know what I must do and don’t need any of your stupid opinions and concern.”
“Yes, we understand.” All the medical staff were frightened of her.
At that moment, Cynthia looked savage and was entirely different from her gentle demeanor.
“Mind your words and stop spewing nonsense.” She signed, ”Just do whatever I tell you to. If you hear anything useful, let me know at once, and you will be handsomely rewarded.”
“Yes.” They nodded in acknowledgment.
“Get out now,” Cynthia ordered.
After the staff walked out, Cynthia was the only one left in the room. With Freya gone, she felt exhausted. All she was left with was a useless bunch who weren’t much help at all.
Nevertheless, Cynthia wasn’t going to admit defeat.
Given how much trouble I have gone through to stay in the Nacht residence and hold an important position by Zachary’s side, it will be a shame to give up now. Charlotte is just too strong, there’s no way I can challenge her successfully. What should I do?
Just as she was pondering upon it, her phone suddenly rang. She quickly answered as it was Taylor on video.
“Cynthia, how are you? Did Charlotte bully you?” Taylor asked anxiously.
“What do you think?”
Cynthia rubbed her neck. The mark from Charlotte’s grip was still visible. She was almost strangled to death just now.
