Chapter 1250 Lies
Knowing that she had spoken out of place, the housekeeper nodded. “Okay, I’ll keep an eye on Geoffrey without him knowing. As long as you don’t mention that incident about the milk…”
Arielle raised her eyebrows. “That’ll depend on how nicely you accomplish your task. I’ll be leaving home for three days. If Geoffrey does anything abnormal, you must inform me right away.”
Only then did Arielle look less furious. After exchanging numbers with the housekeeper, she strode back into the mansion.
To prevent anyone from being curious about what she said to the housekeeper, Arielle called Penelope over specially.
“I’ve already explained to the housekeeper that it’s her fault for disrespecting you. However, since you hit her last night, you are at fault too. Hence, both of you are even now. I hope that nothing like this will ever happen in the future. Otherwise, I’ll make you pack your things up and leave right away as I don’t care if Vinson wants you to stay!”
As Arielle spoke, she snuck a glance at Geoffrey.
Indeed, after he heard what she said, he stopped staring at her.
She wanted to dispel his suspicions.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Penelope could only nod and stare at her feet. Pretending to sound weak, she said, “Yes, I understand…”
As Arielle merely saw Penelope as nothing but a distraction, she could not be bothered to waste any more time with Penelope. Nodding, she walked out.
Penelope opened her mouth, wanting to ask Arielle to stay for breakfast. However, as anger was boiling within her, she let Arielle leave without informing her that breakfast was ready.
After all, she was not there to prepare breakfast for Arielle, so it did not matter whether Arielle ate it or not. She made breakfast mainly to appease Vinson and Susanne.
Now that Vinson had gone to work, only Susanne was left.
At that moment, Susanne woke up too.
She usually did not wake up so early, but she was a little drunk last night, so she slept early; hence, she woke up earlier too.
When Penelope saw that, she quickly flashed Susanne a bright smile as she walked forward. “You’re awake, Mrs. Nightshire. I’ve already prepared breakfast for you. Would you like to take a look?”
Ignoring Penelope, Susanne brushed past her and went to the dining table.
A look of embarrassment flitted across Penelope’s face. However, she chased after Susanne and said appeasingly, “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I prepared a bit of everything. If you’d like to eat anything else, I’ll cook for you immediately.”
By saying that, Penelope was claiming all the credit for making breakfast.
Yet, unbeknownst to her, Susanne knew the chefs’ cooking very well. With a single glance, she could tell that the breakfast was prepared by the chefs.
“Hmph!” She snorted coldly. However, instead of exposing Penelope directly, she feigned surprise and asked, “Did you cook everything?”
“Yeah!” Penelope quickly took credit for it and said, “I woke up at five in the morning…”
That was not what Susanne wanted to hear. Pointing at the soy milk on the table, she interrupted Penelope, “I’ve always been curious about how you made the soy milk. You can explain it to me now!”
Penelope’s expression quickly turned awkward.
I don’t know how to make soy milk! It smells so weird. I can’t even bear to smell it, let alone make it!
However, meeting Susanne’s ‘curious’ gaze, she had no choice but to explain, “What a coincidence! Actually, I made everything else but the soy milk.”
