“Actually, last night, I added a fried egg..."Celia looked at Linda. "She told me that Julian wouldn't be coming home and that they wouldn't be preparing ingredients for a while. That's why I've been buying groceries and cooking for myself every day. The payment records on my phone are proof."Old Mrs. Hayes' brow furrowed with anger. "Linda! You'd better explain this clearly!""This..." Linda trembled, looking wronged. "Ma'am, Young Mrs. Hayes is slandering me! The fridge is always stocked with fresh ingredients! If you don't believe me, I can show you right now!"After saying this, she quickly glanced at Misty.Misty caught on and pretended to be angry. "Fine, let's go check now. If you're lying, I won't let you off easy!"Celia looked at Linda, who noticed her gaze and secretly gave her a smug, challenging glare.Celia froze, her heart sinking.It seemed Linda had come prepared to slander her today, so the fridge must have been stocked with ingredients.Just as she suspect

Seeing Linda's miserable fate, the other maids were nearly in tears with fear."Young Mrs. Hayes, we’ve learned our lesson loud and clear. We were in the wrong! Please ask Master Julian to forgive us!"Celia frowned. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that."They really overestimated her influence. How could her words possibly carry any weight with Julian?The maids kept pestering her, but fortunately, the elderly housekeeper arrived just in time to mercilessly fire those maids. He also brought someone along with him."Young Mrs. Hayes, I’d like to introduce you to someone."Celia's eyes widened in surprise. Behind the housekeeper was a handsome middle-aged man who looked refined and cultured."Aren’t you... Chef Wallace?"The handsome man smiled kindly. "I'm honored that you know who I am, Young Mrs. Hayes.""Yes, I've seen you in that TV drama you guest-starred in!"The man before her was a celebrity chef with millions of followers online. He had shot to fame after guest-starring i

It felt as if the heavy stone in her heart finally lifted.Celia was so delighted that her movements became swift. In no time, she had finished tidying up the scattered suits on the floor.She strode out of the walk-in closet but suddenly tripped on something and fell forward!The next second, her hand hit a wall and seemed to press a button.Just as she lost control and fell to the ground, she watched helplessly as the door of the walk-in closet closed...Darkness enveloped the room.Celia’s ankle throbbed. She gritted her teeth through the pain and curled up, trying to fumble for her phone to call for help.However, she could not find it. She had left her phone on the nightstand.Bang, bang, bang!She pounded the door with her fists, but the door was so thick that no sound could probably be heard from the outside.When the pain in her foot eased slightly, she stood on tiptoe and searched for the button on the wall.Finally, she found it!She pressed it forcefully several

“You want me to...”Celia noticed the man’s gaze grow hotter and more intense. She became even more embarrassed and angry and stopped speaking.However, Julian pressed on. “I want you to what?”Celia bit her lip, seeing the faint smile on his lips. He seemed to enjoy watching her getting flustered but unable to retaliate.Suddenly, she took a deep breath and smiled gently. “Does your beloved know that you’d ask another woman this question?”Julian’s smile disappeared in an instant. He suddenly stood up, his expression dark, and strode out.Bam!He slammed the door shut.Celia immediately lay on the bed with a laugh, feeling the sweet sense of revenge. She finally found Julian’s weak spot!It was his beloved!“When his beloved shows up, I should thank her properly. She’s my protective charm right now.”Celia closed her eyes at ease, getting ready to rest.However, hunger gnawed at her. Linda woke her up in the morning and then she ended up being locked in the walk-in closet,

The atmosphere instantly turned cold.The joy from a moment ago was replaced by disappointment.Celia saw him standing there with an expression of surprise, confusion, and a hint of undisguised disappointment...She suddenly guessed what happened and said gently, “Julian, dyslexia is incredibly hard to cure. The fact that you were able to read just now shows there’s hope for your recovery. You might make a full recovery soon!”Julian’s expression was emotionless. He suddenly crouched down, poured some ointment to rub between his hands, and massaged it into her injured ankle.His grip was rather strong, but Celia bit her lip and endured it without speaking.When he was done, he stood up to see her pale face and frowned. “Did I hurt you? Why didn’t you tell me?”“I’m fine,” Celia murmured.The next second, Julian picked her up and carried her back into the bedroom.“Sleep.”With those words, he turned away from her and left the room.Downstairs, he passed the kitchen, rolled u
