Jasmine and Daisy are twin sisters, close servants of Melissa. They were so identical that I couldn't tell them apart just by looking at them. Only when they talked did I realize.The person who tripped me was one of those two people. That person was standing in the crowd, looking at me with sarcastic eyes and a mocking smile.Melissa is the party's host, so she has to come out and solve this problem. She ordered Daisy to take the girl whose dress was dirty and change into another dress. Then she called Jade to give me twenty lashes.Her flatterers praised Melissa's decisive approach. They don't care how a servant like me will be punished.Of course, Jade wouldn't hit me at the party. She pulled me to a hidden corner away from the party, making sure not to affect the party's atmosphere before making her move.There were a few young girls who were interested in my punishment. They wanted to see how the servants of the Douglas Palace were taught, so they didn't hesitate to follow along
Jade tied me up and took me out of the party to be punished. This time, she did not allow the guests to come along. Those girls were dissatisfied but did not dare to continue following Jade.To blame those girls for silently watching, Jade took me to another place. This time, she didn't tie me to the tree but let me sit on the ground.I knew that even if I ran, I couldn't escape, so I obediently sat on the ground to take the beating. I thought that just having to endure this beating would be the end, but no!A moment later, Daisy and Jasmine rushed over to me and Jade. They gave Jade an ax.At this point, I had been beaten more than thirty times, so I had no strength left. I stared blankly at the ax blade, flashing a cold light in front of my face."No, no, no! Please don't cut off my hand. I don't steal!" I used all my strength to scream, but my voice was as weak as a sick cat.They smiled mockingly and did not bother to answer me.Daisy held me back. Jasmine stretched my arm.I pani
I recuperated for three months and then completely recovered. When I returned to work, the time passed into the new year.Jane is promoted to mid-level servant. She wanted to learn how to cook, so she begged Arthur to let her work as a kitchen assistant to learn from the chefs.All of the kitchens at the Douglas Palace are highly skilled, equal to the chefs at five-star restaurants, so it was a great honor for Jane to follow them and learn.She told me she wanted to open a restaurant after leaving Douglas Palace, which was her childhood dream.I completely support her, but I'm also worried that her dream won't come true because no one can leave this place. I swore that if I had the power, I would help her escape from here and fulfill her dream.After returning to work, my relationship with Arthur became stiff and strange. I didn't dare show any emotions before him; I was obedient and obedient. Arthur is still cold; sometimes, he's bored, so he tries to annoy me, but I don't react, and
Arthur's purpose in bringing me to the prison to see Clara was to warn me not to run away on a business trip with him. He predicted that I wouldn't stand still; I would try to run away, so he used Clara to threaten me.If I were obedient, after the trip, he would carry out my request to let Clara die peacefully. If, during the journey, I cause trouble or run away, Clara will be tortured more severely, and I will become the next person to be tortured like her.Arthur successfully broke my spirit of wanting to run away. I no longer feel excited about this trip.In the evening, Jade brought me ten new outfits, simple but trendy and sophisticated. Jade's expression was unhappy; Arthur forced her to prepare things for me, but she didn't want to do this.Before leaving, she passed on Ms. Melissa's words to me. Those are warnings full of anger and disgust. Melissa was worried that Arthur and I would develop unique feelings on this trip.Without Melissa reminding me, I didn't dare have that c
After Charlotte finished greeting everyone, she took everyone to a room on the second floor.This room is more spacious than the living room; in the middle of the room is a circular podium. The chairs are arranged around the podium. Everyone's names are on the chairs. The wealthiest and most powerful people will sit closer to the podium, and those with lower status will sit further away from the podium. However, you can see the auction items on the clothes no matter where you sit.Arthur sat in the front row, and I sat next to him. Before we got here, Smith's people asked Arthur if he had a chaperone so they could arrange the chairs. Each seat is about an arm's length apart.I sat on Arthur's right hand. I was surprised that Charlotte was sitting next to his left. After we sat down, she also took her seat.Charlotte leaned slightly towards Arthur. Before the auction started, Charlotte started a conversation with Arthur.She looked at Arthur with sparkling eyes and gentle words. In eve
"Boss, I will make you lose face if I don't participate in the auction, but I don't have any money. So, can you pay for the items I bid on?" I whispered into Arthur's ear.Charlotte challenged me like that. Arthur and I would lose face if I didn't participate in the auction, so I had to ask Arthur for his permission."Don't be too stupid!" Arthur said meaningfully. He teased me and tacitly agreed to pay me to participate in the auction.I felt secure, so I didn't accept Arthur's sarcasm.Charlotte saw Arthur and I whispering to each other and said, "Lucinda is so close to Mr.Arthur! If I were Mr. Arthur's fiancee, I would be jealous when I saw this scene."Regarding Charlotte's troubles from now on, Arthur felt annoyed, but he still calmly replied, "My fiancee will not be so narrow-minded."Charlotte blushed and was angry at being called narrow-minded. She wanted to refute but, for a moment, didn't know how to say it.At this time, the host returned, and the auction continued.Charlot
Arthur's phone suddenly rang so he left the room to answer the phone.In the room, only four of Richard's subordinates and I left. I was timid, but they were different. They felt more comfortable as soon as Arthur left."Lucinda, how long have you been Arthur's secretary?" Richard asked me."About a few days. I temporarily became his secretary because Mr. Arthur's assistant went on a business trip!" I answer.Richard's expression relaxed. He was no longer subservient like Arthur in front of me, but he became arrogant.Since this is my first time taking on this job, I often need to correct things. In situations like that, Arthur would give me a stern warning. To sum up, Richard thought that I did not influence Arthur, so he did not need to respect a temporary secretary like me.Richard's four subordinates also had the same thoughts as Richard. They were afraid of him when Arthur was here, so they didn't dare approach me. Now, they take turns offering me wine.I can drink alcohol, but n
"Mr.Arthur, your secretary is crazy! She dared to attack us." Richard accused me."You fire her. Such a crazy person is not worthy of being your secretary!""If you fire her, our cooperation will be completed soon," Mike said.At this time, Arthur was standing next to the door. He glanced around at me and calmly said, "Give it to me!"I was numb, my body stiff, unresponsive. I was highly frustrated, looking at him with red but resilient eyes.He gently pulled my arm, took the broken glass bottle out of my hand, and tossed it aside. The sound of the bottle shattering made my heart sink. I don't understand why I didn't fight back against Arthur. I'm not afraid of him, and I'm just so disappointed that I don't want to react.Mike thought Arthur agreed with him. He arrogantly told me, "You damn bitch! I will deal with you cruelly."He pushed Richard, who was blocking him in front of him and walked towards me. He reached out, wanting to grab my hair. My pupils trembled; I could only watch
