“It’s nothing.” Knowing Leia’s character, Renee didn’t want to tell her anything until she figured out the
truth. Tess was a recently hired part-timer whose sole job was to take care of Renee. She was kind and
hardworking, and although Renee had never seen Tess, she could tell from their daily interactions that
Tess was a nice person. She didn’t seem like the type to harm Renee, but Renee wondered why Tess
would lie for no reason. She thought about it for a while, then sent Leia off with a casual excuse and
called Tess into her room.
Ms. Everheart, is there anything I can do for you?” After getting things done in the kitchen, Tess wiped
her hands clean and hurried upstairs. She always did her best, and her work was smooth and neat;
Renee honestly didn’t have anything to complain about.
“I heard that you added sugar to my coffee today?” Renee asked Tess directly.
“I was mistaken. It wasn’t sugar, but just another ingredient to make the coffee taste better.” Tess knew
that Leia would tell Renee about the incident, so she had thought of an excuse while she was in the
kitchen. She had even prepared the so-called ‘coffee ingredient’.
“Oh, I see. That’s great.” Renee knew Tess wouldn’t tell her anything else, so she decided to stop
asking about it.
“Is there anything else I can do for you? If not, I’ll get back to work. There’s quite a lot of things to do
today.”
Tess seemed to be stressed. She would usually patiently chat with Renee, sometimes not even
wanting to leave, so Renee found her reaction strange. Renee tried the coffee that Tess served her,
and found that it tasted normal. A sinking feeling hit her, and she knew she could no longer trust Tess.novelbin“Let me ask you something, Tess… Were we good to you while you worked here?” Renee put the cup
of coffee down and asked softly.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

“You, Mr. Hunt, and Margaret are very good to me, and Adie and Abby are very cute. They love to play
with me. I think you guys treat me like family,” Tess confessed sincerely. Since her family was poor, she
had dropped out of school at an early age to work and help her family. She had met a lot of employers,
and an employer as kind as Renee’s family was rare. If she hadn’t been forced, she would never do
something so horrible to them.
“You must tell us if you’re facing any difficulties since you say we treat you like family. We’re rather
influential in Beach City, so we can help you settle it…” Renee hoped that Tess could tell her the truth,
since she knew that Tess wasn’t the kind of person who would shirk her responsibilities and harm
someone for no reason. Tess must be in a tough spot, so Renee figured it was better to resolve Tess’
problem instead of interrogating her. If she knew the issue could be resolved, she would tell Renee the
truth.
“I… I…” Tess wrung her hands, looking conflicted. She wanted to tell Renee the truth, but she didn’t
dare disobey that woman that had kidnapped her mother.
“It’s okay, you can tell me whenever you want to… but I’m afraid I’ll have to fire you.”
