Chapter 2016 Unexpected Turn Of Events


    That made Elisa feel very ufortable, and a bad premonition was brewing in her chest.


    Julia paused for a moment. Her tone was steady when she said, “Something came up, and I don’t want


    to go anymore. You guys go with Kaylee.” Before leaving, she added, “Don’t bully her. She’s a good


    kid.”


    With just that one sentence, Julia blew Be’s mind.


    If Be hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that Julia would say such


    things, especially when Kaylee was the person she wasforting so thoughtfully. This world is truly


    filled with mystery and fantasy.


    Elisa wanted to say something more, but Julia had already left abruptly.


    The two exchanged a nce, both seeing solemnity in each other’s eyes. What’s going on here?


    Meanwhile, at the doorway, only Gareth and Kaylee were left.


    Naturally, Kaylee couldn’t hold back and always had to strike up a conversation.


    “Gareth, I was wrong before… I did some bad things and said some bad words, causing a rift between


    you and Elisa…” As she spoke, Kaylee lowered her head, pretending to wipe away tears.


    After that, she looked up and said, “After spending some time with Madam Smith, however, I truly


    understand that some things can’t be forced. I will silently bless you and Elisa, so could you please not


    hold any prejudice against me in the future? Consider it a favor I’m asking of you.”


    Despite hearing those words, Gareth couldn’t help but feel that time was moving too slowly. Why


    haven’t Liz and Be appeared yet?


    In response to those words, he merely hummed nonchntly, not wanting to prolong the conversation.


    Kaylee also understood Gareth’s intentions, but she did what she said she would do, not to entangle


    but to silently wish him well.


    The two of them stood outside. Gareth felt awkward, but Kaylee wished that time could stretch on and


    on.


    Elisa was caught off guard, but she had to eventually leave the house.


    Just as she was about to step out, she was stopped by Maria.


    “Ms. Elisa,” Maria called out, ncing around to make sure no one was around. “Judging by your


    appearance, it seems you’ve already seen Madam Smith, I guess things didn’t go well. Madam Smith


    has been acting quite out of character these past few days, and I don’t know why.”

    Be chimed in from the side, “Maria, tell us what’s wrong.”


    Maria sighed. “Madam Smith used to listen to Ms. Benelt and never ate cold-natured foods like raw fish


    slices. But recently, I don’t know what’s gotten into her. She’s been wanting to eat crabs and salmon,


    and once she starts, she can’t stop.” As she spoke, Maria let out another sigh. “I was trying to persuade


    Madam Smith on the side, but she just kept ring at me. As for Ms. Knapp, who was brought back,


    she was even more domineering, openly and secretly using me of not knowing my ce and


    meddling in Madam Smith’s affairs.”


    Maria was an old-timer in the manor, and she was also the one who was most in tune with Julia’s


    wishes.


    Naturally, she was the first to notice that something was off with Julia.


    After pondering for a while upon hearing that, Elisa asked, “Is there anything else?”


    “Of course, there is. How could there not be?” Maria seemed to have opened a floodgate of words,


    pouring out her grievances all at once person


    “Also, Madam Smith’s personality has changed drastically. She used to be the most gentle and kind to


    her servants, but now she seems a bit irritable. Especially when ites to defending Ms. Knapp.”


    With that, Maria looked around, probably afraid of being overheard. “There was once when Ms. Knapp


    wanted. to eat fish stew, but the chef didn’t know how to prepare it in the style of her hometown. This


    upset Madam Smith so much that she fired the chef in a fit of anger.”
