Author: Gu Lingfei
“Mom…”

“Don’t call me that. I’m not your mom. If I hear you calling me that again, I’ll cut your tongue off too. Your mom is still waiting for you in the countryside.”

After speaking, Belinda shut the door again.

Tears flowed down Celine’s face, yet she dared not cry out loud anymore.

She was the perfect example of someone fallen from grace.

Hunter heard Celine’s cries from the bed. Although he felt sorry for her, he stayed quiet.

When he heard footsteps approaching, he closed his eyes.

    "Whenever the acting head wanted something, he just told me and took it. Sometimes, he only called me after he'd already taken it. I don't get a chance to stop him. Even if I could, I wouldn't dare."Laurence stared at Stuart for a moment before saying gently, "It's been hard on you. I'll ask Manny about this. From now on, anyone who wants to take something from this residence must ask me or Noelle first."They can only take anything away once we've given our approval."Thinking he had managed to fool Laurence, Stuart quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Laurence. I'll do as you say from now on."The next time someone tried to take anything, he could just bring up Laurence's name. Those used to getting things their own way would then resent Laurence. Did Laurence really think that his position as the family head was secure now?Laurence stood up and said, "I'll be moving in next week. Make sure this place is spotless and that everything is in order. I have very high standards when it comes

    Even the accounts for the fresh tea had been falsified. Stuart recorded that Manny took some of it, while the rest was used as gifts. He even listed the recipients, but those names were all made up. In reality, he had sold the tea.Laurence would definitely find out.The new head's first crackdown had landed on a mere butler at the secondary residence."That was your mistake. What do you expect me to do? I can't help you. You're on your own."With that, Tony ended the call.His own family was already struggling to protect itself. How could he spare any concern for a mere butler like Stuart?Stuart was just an ordinary member of the Longbottom family. He was simply good at flattering people and had pleased Manny enough for him to be promoted to butler of the secondary residence. He had held the position for more than ten years ever since Manny became the acting head.Stuart spent all those years lining his pockets. Otherwise, how could his family have risen so far above the other

    Tony scolded again, "Stuart, do you have any brains at all? You know what Laurence thinks of my son and me, don't you? Even an idiot would know that he'll come down on you faster if I show up there."Your best option is for me to stay away, and for you to admit your wrongdoing. He might let you off the hook if you return some of the money you embezzled, but I'm afraid your days as the butler are numbered."It was not just the secondary residence. Once Laurence moved into the main estate, he would undoubtedly replace everyone there as well.When Tony first became the acting head, he had replaced all the staff as well.Stuart felt that Tony's words made sense.If he confessed and returned some of the money, Laurence might spare him. As Tony said, the worst-case scenario was losing his job as butler.He had made quite a bit of money over the years, so getting fired was not a disaster. He could even start a small business of his own, and he also owned extra properties he could rent o

    Stuart assumed Laurence was simply stopping by and had indeed neglected his duties. He thought Laurence and Noelle would not bother drinking tea anyway, so he had simply brewed two cups using old tea leaves.Well, that was all he had left anyway. He had sold all the good tea for cash.After leaving the hall, Stuart pulled out his phone and called Tony.Manny probably was not home, but Tony was retired. Besides, Laurence just mentioned coming from the main estate, which meant Tony should be at home.When Tony answered, Stuart lowered his voice and pleaded, "Help me! Laurence suddenly showed up at the villa and wanted to check the ledgers. This year's fresh tea is gone. He wants to know where it went."Tony frowned. "So what if he went to the villa? Why does he suddenly want to check the books and specifically investigate the tea? Did you sell all of it? I told you, you could've just sold a pound or two. How could you sell everything?"Stuart's face flushed, and he whispered, "Well

    Stuart stammered, not daring to answer.If he claimed that all the tea had been consumed, then who had drunk it?But if he said it had not been used, then who had taken the rest?Laurence's expression darkened. He ordered in a stern voice, "Bring me the ledgers!""S-Sir, it's almost dark now…""Am I not allowed to check the accounts after dark? Does this place not have lights?"Laurence shot back at him. "Go and get the ledgers now. I want to know exactly where the tea has gone. I'm the head of the family, yet I can't even get a decent cup of tea!""Yes, sir!"Stuart dared not refuse again and hurriedly turned to leave, wiping sweat from his forehead.Both the main estate and the secondary residence received fresh tea every year. They were premium varieties that even other wealthy families would struggle to buy.The family generally reserved the tea for the head's daily consumption or for entertaining distinguished guests. Whenever a shipment arrived, it had to be recorded. E

    "Anyone from the family can enter this place. On the other hand, my private residence isn't somewhere people can come and go as they please. That's why I'll move in there for a while and return to the estate once the renovations are complete."Laurence's private residence was indeed off-limits to almost everyone. Even Manny and Tony had never managed to get inside. Every assassin they sent to kill Laurence was caught. In truth, Laurence did not have that many bodyguards compared to Manny and Tony. However, his residence was stocked with numerous poisons and guarded by wolfdogs. Even if an assassin evaded capture, accidentally coming into contact with a poison would still land them in Laurence's hands.It was said that the residence even contained several lethal poisons that could kill with the slightest contact with blood. Everyone feared death. Many of the assassins Manny and Tony sent did not even dare to climb the wall. They were terrified of encountering one of those poisons.

    It tasted as bitter as his emotions at that moment.The words Sheila spoke before she left meant she had guessed what he and Mary had done the night before. She probably knew something through Mary as well. Kent did touch Mary. Although they did not cross the final line, he had touched and kissed
